The SkinBetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser is a velvety-soft, multi-tasking exfoliating foam cleanser that turns your daily cleanse into a skin-refining ritual. This medical-grade formula pairs alpha hydroxy acids with salicylic acid to gently lift away dead skin cells, sweep up excess oil and clarify the look of congested pores — all while leaving skin feeling soft, comfortable and never stripped. If you have been searching for an exfoliating foam cleanser for normal to oily or congested skin, this is it.

A mild amino acid-based surfactant creates a dense, airy foam that feels luxurious on the skin, while the Soft Skin Blend of conditioning emollients helps keep the moisture barrier supported and comfortable.

FAQS

Is this a good exfoliating foam cleanser for oily or congested skin? +

Yes. It is formulated for normal to oily and congested skin, pairing an AHA blend with salicylic acid to gently exfoliate, lift away excess oil and clarify the look of pores, while the Soft Skin Blend keeps skin feeling comfortable rather than stripped.

How often can I use the Refining Foam Cleanser? +

It is gentle enough for daily use, morning and evening. If your skin is new to exfoliating acids, you might start once a day and build up as your skin adjusts.

Does it contain both AHAs and BHA? +

Yes. It combines an alpha hydroxy acid blend (glycolic, lactic and citric acids) with salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), for gentle dual-action exfoliation in a single cleanse.

Will it leave my skin feeling tight or stripped? +

No. The amino acid-based surfactant and Soft Skin Blend are designed to cleanse and exfoliate while supporting the skin barrier, so skin is left feeling soft and comfortable after rinsing.

Can I use this as a daily exfoliating cleanser for normal skin? +

Yes. It suits normal to oily skin and can be used daily as a gentle exfoliating cleanse. Follow with a broad-spectrum SPF each morning, as exfoliating acids can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Does it remove make-up? +

It helps lift away everyday make-up, oil and impurities. For heavier or long-wear make-up, you may prefer to double cleanse, using this as your second, skin-refining step.

What skin types is it suitable for? +

It is best suited to normal, combination and oily skin, and to skin that looks dull, uneven or congested. Very dry or highly sensitive skin may prefer a more gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser.

Where does it fit in my routine? +

Use it as your cleanse step, morning and evening, before serums, treatments and moisturiser. Because it preps the skin, it helps the products that follow spread and absorb more evenly.

Is it safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

This formula contains salicylic acid (a BHA). Many topical products are used without issue during pregnancy, but guidance varies, so we recommend checking with your GP, midwife or prescriber before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
