Obagi Medical CLENZIderm M.D. Foaming Cleanser 2% Salicylic Acid with Menthol — Daily Acne Wash for Oily Face & Back

Obagi Medical CLENZIderm M.D. Daily Care Foaming Cleanser is a lightweight acne-clearing wash that uses 2% salicylic acid and cooling menthol to help unclog pores and refresh oily, acne-prone skin on the face and back.

This foaming cleanser is formulated to be the first step in a targeted acne care routine. It combines a clinically used beta hydroxy acid (2% salicylic acid) with menthol in a gentle foaming base to remove excess oil, surface dead skin, and everyday impurities without a heavy residue. The texture and actives are designed for normal to oily skin types and for use where breakouts commonly occur: the face and back.

How does this cleanser help reduce breakouts?

The 2% salicylic acid penetrates pores to help dissolve the debris and oil that can contribute to blemishes, while the foaming action rinses surface residue away. Menthol provides a cooling sensation that leaves skin feeling clean and renewed.

• 2% salicylic acid (BHA) to help exfoliate inside pores
• Foaming texture removes dirt, oil, and makeup traces
• Menthol for a refreshing, non-greasy finish
• Formulated for face and back application where oiliness concentrates

Is this safe for daily use on oily or acne-prone skin?

Designed as a daily care cleanser, it is lightweight and rinses clean, making it suitable to incorporate into morning and evening routines for many oily skin types. As with any active product, introduce gradually and follow with appropriate moisturizers or treatments if dryness occurs.

• Daily foaming formula for regular use
• Gentle rinse-off base minimizes heavy residue
• Use with complementary Obagi CLENZIderm products for full regimen support

How should I use the CLENZIderm M.D. Daily Care Foaming Cleanser?

Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage to create a light foam, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For body blemishes, lather on problem areas like the back and rinse; follow with appropriate topical acne treatments if recommended.

• Use morning and night on wet skin for best cleansing
• A small pump or dollop is usually sufficient to lather
• Rinse well and pat skin dry before continuing your skincare routine

What can I expect in terms of results and compatibility?

This cleanser aims to remove excess sebum and skin-surface buildup that can precede breakouts, leaving a cleaner, clearer appearance when used consistently. It is dermatologist tested and part of an acne-focused system designed by a medical skincare brand with decades of clinical experience.

• Helps reduce surface oil and pore-clogging debris
• May complement prescription and over-the-counter acne treatments
• Dermatologist tested and physician endorsed formulation

Who is this for: This product is intended for people with normal-to-oily, acne-prone skin looking for a daily foaming cleanser that targets clogged pores and excess sebum on the face and back.
