Medicated Cleansers – Which One is Best for You?

April 13, 2018

Medicated Cleansers – Need a little “umph” in your routine?

Ninja Skincare offers two medicated cleansers… Our Wipe Out Wash, which contains Benzoyl Peroxide, and our Revolutionary Cleanser with Salicylic Acid, which contains… you guessed it, Salicylic Acid. So which one would be best for you and your skin type?

First, let’s talk about our Wipe Out Wash – it contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide…a potent anti-acne ingredient.

We generally recommend WOW to clients who are treating their body acne (back,chest,body). By using the WOW twice a day, we are adding an extra push to their treatment. This medicated cleanser will:

– Remove more excess oils
– Kill surface bacteria
– Leave behind a benzoyl peroxide residue on the skin for continued anti acne fighting

For clients with very oily skin on their faces, we recommend using the WOW as well – mainly at night after a day of stress and environmental impacts to the skin. Avoid the eye area if you decide to use this medicated cleanser on your face as the skin around the eyes is very receptive to drying out.

By integrating a stronger medicated cleanser into a client’s skincare routine, we are able to increase the overall potency of their clearing treatment.

So how about our Revolutionary Cleanser with Salicylic Acid?

For the majority of acne-prone sufferers, their go-to active ingredient to prevent future breakouts is Benzoyl Peroxide. But there is a segment of the population that is sensitive to Benzoyl Peroxide and therefore must consider other solutions for their acne prone skin. Salicylic acid, sulfur, resorcinol and glycolic acid are benzoyl peroxide free alternatives and prove to be just as effective.

Salicylic Acid is derived from the willow tree (salix) and is a beta hydroxy acid. It is effective at exfoliating topical layers of dead skin cells as well as ones inside the hair follicles, thereby preventing future breakouts. When added to a cleanser, it is excellent at bumping up the strength of the oil removing properties and therefore is ideal for individuals with more oily facial skin and body acne who are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide. 
 

Our Revolutionary Cleanser with Salicylic Acid is a pretty cool product to use. Unlike some other active ingredients, it has no odor and it does not cause any bleaching to your clothes, sheets or towels. Also because it is a beta hydroxy acid and has a particular molecular structure, it is a perfect daily exfoliant for all skin types. Our formula is made with no sulfates which are often irritating to individuals with sensitive skin, so they are able to use a medicated cleanser with no ill effects.  

 
It’s safe enough to use once or twice daily (just keep it out of your eyes) and it will leave your skin feeling squeaky clean while gently treating your skin with salicylic acid.
If you are considering adding either one of these cleansers into your routine, please check in with us so we can make sure that is the right step for you.
