Dealing with persistent breakouts, excess oil, and clogged pores can be frustrating. This creamy foam cleanser is designed specifically for acne-prone skin, using a blend of soothing and exfoliating ingredients to purify your skin without causing harshness or stripping its moisture barrier.

• Primary Benefit: Deeply cleanses pores to remove excess oil and dead skin cells, helping to reduce existing acne and prevent future breakouts.
• Key Ingredients: Centella Asiatica Extract (soothing), Tea Tree Leaf Water (calming), Salicylic Acid (BHA, for exfoliation).
• Texture & Finish: A rich, creamy paste that lathers into a dense foam, leaving skin feeling refreshed and clean, not tight.
• Best For: Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types.

1. Cleanse: Lather a pea-sized amount of Tea-Trica BHA Foam with water, massage onto your face, and rinse.
2. Tone (Optional): Apply a calming toner to a clean face to hydrate and prep skin.
3. Protect/Moisturise: Finish with sunscreen in the morning (AM) or a lightweight moisturiser in the evening (PM).

Mindful Tip: Already using a cleanser for acne? Finish it first. Substitute this product into your routine rather than adding more steps.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanse: SKIN1004 Tea-Trica BHA Foam
2. Moisturise: A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser.
3. Protect: Sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is essential, as BHA can increase sun sensitivity.

Optional Additions: A hydrating toner before your moisturiser can help balance skin, and a targeted serum (like Niacinamide for PIH) can be used before moisturising.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse (If wearing makeup/sunscreen): Start with an oil cleanser to melt impurities, then follow with the Tea-Trica BHA Foam. If not, just use the foam cleanser.
2. Treat (Optional): Apply a targeted serum for acne, pores, or post-acne marks.
3. Moisturise: Finish with a soothing, lightweight cream to support your skin barrier overnight.

Routine Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

• Amount: Squeeze a pea-sized amount into your wet palms.
• Method: Rub your hands together to create a rich, dense lather. Gently massage the foam over your entire face, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Start by using it once daily in the evening. If your skin tolerates it well and you have very oily skin, you can increase to twice daily (AM and PM). If you experience dryness, reduce use to every other day.

If-This / Then-That Tips:

• If your skin feels tight after use: You may be using it too frequently. Reduce to once daily or every other day, and ensure you are using a hydrating moisturiser.
• If you have stubborn blackheads: When cleansing, focus your massage for a few extra seconds on areas like the nose and chin where blackheads are common.
• If you have sensitive skin: Introduce this cleanser slowly (3 times a week) and monitor for any irritation, as BHA can be sensitising for some.

• Immediately: Skin feels deeply cleansed, refreshed, and cool. Excess surface oil is removed without a "squeaky clean" or stripped feeling.
• After 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in overall oiliness and shine. The frequency of new, minor breakouts may decrease.
• After 4-8+ Weeks: Pores may appear clearer and less congested. Skin texture can feel smoother, and acne-related redness may look calmer.

Individual results vary. Consistency and daily sun protection are key to achieving and maintaining results.

• Why use a BHA Cleanser, not a harsh physical scrub? Harsh scrubs with large, irregular particles (like sugar or crushed pits) can create micro-tears in the skin, leading to more irritation and inflammation, which can worsen acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A gentle BHA (Salicylic Acid) cleanser exfoliates *within* the pores to dissolve oil and debris, addressing the root of congestion without damaging the skin's surface.

• Works Well With: Hydrating and soothing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and additional Centella Asiatica. Niacinamide is also an excellent pairing to help with pores and post-acne marks.
• Use With Caution: Since this cleanser contains BHA, avoid using other potent exfoliants (like high-concentration AHAs or retinol) in the same routine, especially when you first start. This helps prevent over-exfoliation, which can lead to a damaged skin barrier, redness, and sensitivity.
• How to Layer: As a cleanser, this is the first step in your skincare routine (or the second step if you are double cleansing).

• Excellent For: Oily and acne-prone skin.
• Good For: Combination skin, especially those with an oily T-zone and frequent breakouts.
• Use with Caution: Those with very dry or highly sensitive skin may find the BHA content slightly drying with daily use. A patch test is recommended. If you have a known sensitivity to Salicylic Acid, this product should be avoided.

Full INCI List:

Water, Myristic Acid, Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Propanediol, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Palmitic Acid, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Potassium Benzoate, Salicylic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Sorbitol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Chloride, Centella Asiatica Extract, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Arachidic Acid, Lauric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Oleic Acid, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, Dextrin, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract.

• Fragrance Status: No artificial fragrance added. It has a natural, herbal scent from Tea Tree Leaf Oil.
• Scent Intensity: 2/5 (A mild, refreshing tea tree aroma that dissipates after rinsing).
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the official INCI. However, as it contains botanical extracts, a patch test is always recommended for highly sensitive or reactive skin.

Who Should Use With Caution: Individuals with very dry skin, eczema, or a known allergy to Salicylic Acid (aspirin) should exercise caution.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: While low-concentration BHA in a wash-off product is generally considered low-risk, there is insufficient published data for a definitive statement. We recommend consulting with your doctor before use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the foam to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Leave it on for the recommended cleansing time (e.g., 60 seconds) and rinse off.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face.

Safety Note for Teens: This product can be suitable for teenagers experiencing acne. However, it should be part of a simple routine: cleanser, moisturiser, and daily sunscreen. Avoid combining it with other strong active ingredients unless guided by a clinician.

• Texture: A thick, creamy paste with a mint green hue.
• Application Feel: Lathers into a rich, dense, and soft foam that feels substantial and cleansing on the skin.
• Finish: Rinses clean, leaving skin feeling cool, refreshed, and matte, but not stripped or tight.
• pH: As a BHA cleanser containing Salicylic Acid and using Potassium Hydroxide for saponification, this is an alkaline cleanser. Its primary function is deep cleansing rather than being a low-pH, barrier-gentle wash. It is effective for its purpose but should be followed with a hydrating, pH-balancing toner.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The INCI list contains some ingredients that could potentially trigger fungal acne, such as Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, and Oleic Acid. While the BHA and Tea Tree have anti-fungal properties, individuals with severe fungal acne should patch test carefully.

• Issue: My skin feels dry or tight after cleansing.
  Solution: You might be cleansing for too long or using the product too frequently. Reduce use to once per day (PM) and ensure you are applying a hydrating toner and moisturiser immediately after on damp skin.
• Issue: I'm experiencing some tingling or slight redness.
  Solution: This can be a normal reaction to BHA for new users. Ensure you are not using any other exfoliants in your routine. If it persists, reduce frequency to every other day. If burning or a rash occurs, discontinue use.
• Issue: My acne isn't improving after 8 weeks.
  Solution: A cleanser is only one part of an effective acne routine. Ensure you are using a suitable moisturiser, applying sunscreen daily (sun exposure can worsen acne inflammation), and consider adding a leave-on treatment (like a Niacinamide serum or a spot treatment) to your regimen. For persistent acne, a dermatologist consultation is recommended.

This cleanser is an excellent choice for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius. Its deep-cleansing ability effectively removes the excess sweat, sebum, and sunscreen that can build up throughout the day, helping to prevent clogged pores and breakouts. The refreshing, cooling finish provides welcome relief in tropical weather. During drier winter months or if you spend significant time in air-conditioning, ensure you follow up with a good hydrating moisturiser to maintain balance.

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you the best of authentic K-beauty, curated with care and integrity. We guarantee that every product is 100% genuine, sourced directly from brands in South Korea. Our promise is to provide clear, honest, and beginner-friendly information to help you make mindful choices for your skin's health.

1. Is this cleanser suitable for daily use?
Yes, it is designed for daily use. However, because it contains BHA, those with very sensitive skin might prefer to start with using it every other day to assess tolerance.

2. Will this cleanser dry out my skin?
It is formulated to be a deep-cleansing foam for oily skin, so it effectively removes excess sebum. While most users find it refreshing and not stripping, those with drier skin types might experience some tightness. If this occurs, reduce the frequency of use and ensure you are using a good moisturiser.

3. Can I use this with other active ingredients like retinol or Vitamin C?
As a wash-off product, it is generally safe to use in a routine with other actives. However, to minimize the risk of irritation, we recommend using this BHA cleanser on alternate nights from strong leave-on exfoliants like retinol or high-concentration AHAs, especially when your skin is not accustomed to them.

4. What is the difference between this and the regular SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule Foam?
The regular Centella Ampoule Foam is a gentle, hydrating cleanser focused purely on soothing and moisturising. This Tea-Trica BHA Foam is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin, with added BHA (Salicylic Acid) and Tea Tree to actively exfoliate pores and target breakouts.

• Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin who need a deep, purifying cleanse.
• Key Benefits: Effectively clears out pores, reduces excess oil, and calms acne-related inflammation with a refreshing finish.
• Keep in Mind: Contains BHA and can be drying for those with dry or very sensitive skin. The INCI list includes some fatty acids that could be a concern for those with severe fungal acne, so a patch test is crucial.
