Washing more than twice a day, or reaching for a harsh cleanser to chase that shine, strips the skin's acid mantle (target pH roughly 4.5-5.5) and triggers compensatory oil production — the exact oiliness the customer is trying to eliminate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific product sits in an honest middle ground on that cycle: its willow-bark BHA genuinely helps dissolve the oil-and-debris plug inside a pore rather than just surface-wiping it away, which is the mechanism that actually reduces the \"clogged\" feeling. But its exact pH has not been publicly disclosed, and it is saponified with Potassium Hydroxide (a true soap base) rather than a confirmed low-pH surfactant blend — several real reviewers with dry skin describe a tight, squeaky, over-cleansed sensation after rinsing, which is the classic acid-mantle-disruption signal.
