A hydrating salicylic acid and bakuchiol gel cleanser that clears and purifies pores without stripping oily or acne-prone skin.
Product Info
SkinMedica Pore Purifying Gel Cleanser – a hydrating, refreshing gel cleanser with salicylic acid and bakuchiol that clears and purifies pores without stripping oily or acne-prone skin.
  • Salicylic acid (BHA) gently exfoliates and helps minimize the look of post-acne marks
  • Bakuchiol targets the look of discoloration, visible redness and post-acne marks
  • Aloe, olive leaf and other soothing botanicals leave skin soft and refreshed
  • Removes makeup, oil, dirt and impurities while helping maintain the skin's natural barrier
  • Noncomedogenic and sulfate-free, with no added fragrance
  • In SkinMedica's study with the Pore Purifying Acne Treatment, 90% said skin looked clearer in 48 hours
Who benefits? Oily, combination and acne-prone skin that needs a deep-cleaning wash without the tight, dry aftermath, especially anyone pairing it with the Pore Purifying Acne Treatment.
How to Use

Step 1: Moisten skin with warm water.
Step 2: Apply a small amount of cleanser to your fingertips with a little water.
Step 3: Cleanse the entire face using small circular motions, avoiding the eyes.
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.
Step 5: Use morning and evening as the first step in your routine, then follow with the Pore Purifying Acne Treatment, moisturizer and, in the morning, sunscreen.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water. If skin irritation develops, stop use and consult your physician. Contains salicylic acid; using it with other exfoliating or acne products can increase dryness.

Clarify & Soothe

Key Ingredients

BHA Pore Clearing
Salicylic Acid

BHA Pore Clearing

Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid, so it can work within oily pores. SkinMedica includes it to gently exfoliate, purify the pores and minimize the appearance of post-acne marks.

Bakuchiol
Tone & Redness

Bakuchiol

A plant-derived compound from the seeds of the babchi plant (Psoralea corylifolia). SkinMedica includes it to target discoloration and to reduce visible redness and the appearance of post-acne marks.

Aloe & Olive Leaf
Soothing Botanicals

Aloe & Olive Leaf

Aloe and olive leaf extracts are soothing botanicals that leave skin soft and refreshed, joined by bisabolol and licorice-derived dipotassium glycyrrhizate. SkinMedica describes the formula's antioxidants as offering gentle protection and restorative benefits for longer-lasting clarity.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing, using, and caring for your skin with Purity products.

Explore Help Center
Is this an acne medication?

No. It is a cosmetic cleanser made with salicylic acid for oily and acne-prone skin, and the tube carries no Drug Facts panel. For active breakouts, pair it with the Pore Purifying Acne Treatment, which is an over-the-counter acne treatment with encapsulated 2% salicylic acid. SkinMedica's clinical results were measured with the two used together.

Will it dry out my skin?

It's designed not to. The gel uses mild, sulfate-free cleansing agents with glycerin and soothing botanicals, and in SkinMedica's study 95% of participants said their skin was not dried out 24 hours after use (n=21). If you also use a retinoid or benzoyl peroxide and notice tightness, use it once a day instead of twice.

How is it different from the other SkinMedica cleansers?

Pore Purifying Gel Cleanser is made for oily and acne-prone skin, built around salicylic acid and bakuchiol. The AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser targets texture and dullness with alpha and beta hydroxy acids plus jojoba beads. Facial Cleanser is the basic non-exfoliating daily wash, and the HA5 Foaming Cleanser is the hydrating option for dry skin.

How soon will I see results?

Skin feels clean and refreshed right away. In SkinMedica's clinical study of the cleanser used with the Pore Purifying Acne Treatment, 90% said their skin looked clearer in 48 hours (n=20), and 93% said it looked and felt less oily and 86% said pores looked smaller after 4 weeks (n=28).

Can I use it with retinol or prescription acne products?

Usually, yes, since it rinses off. Start slowly and watch for dryness or peeling, because salicylic acid adds to the drying effect of retinoids, benzoyl peroxide and other exfoliants. If you use prescription acne treatments, or if you are pregnant or nursing, check with your prescriber or physician first.

How long does a tube last?

You only need a small amount on damp fingertips. Used morning and night, the 6 fl oz / 177 mL tube typically lasts about three months.
