From Sandra Lee, MD

AKA Dr. Pimple Popper

Salicylic acid is one of my favorite ingredients, and I personally love this cleanser! It’s gentle enough for my sensitive skin but it works for acne-prone skin as well, helping to keep pores clear and exfoliate to reveal brighter, more even-looking skin. I like to leave it on for a few minutes while I wash my hair, or brush my teeth, for a little bit of extra deep clean.

Must try this cleaner!

Best skincare products by far! I have tried many other products and washes for my acne and was not getting the results I wanted. After trying SLMD, I have been amazed by the results and can say that I finally feel comfortable in my own skin and can show off my beautiful skin. For anyone hesitant to try these products, trust me when I say it's worth it and you won't regret it :wink:

Worth the money

Having to wear a mask due to the pandemic has caused my cheeks to break out, which I never do. I had tried different salicylic cleansers/creams to help, but I had no luck. I forgot that Dr. Lee had her own skincare line, so I bought it, and I have incorporated it into my regular skincare routine. My skin is sensitive, so this was the only thing I had changed. After 2 weeks, I saw a huge difference! I'm so glad I made the purchase because my skin feels so much better, and it has helped a lot with oil control. I am definitely going to purchase more of the SLMD skincare products!

THE BEST face wash EVER!!!

Have been using this product for about 6 months now daily, and I can honestly say it did not disappoint. If youre thinking about buying it, stop hesitating and just buy it already. My skin looks so much healthier, brighter, and smoother immediately after each wash. I dont get severe acne but I have had my bad days, and this has helped keep the bad days away.

Normal skin to dry/flaky

I used this twice a day for 2 days and it left my face so dry it was flaking. I used the All Bright and that only tightened my skin but still had dry skin. I had to stop using the products which upsets me because I wasted so much money.

My go to cleanser

Its been 2 years and I keep coming back to this cleanser. I love that its gentle and leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed. Its a great everyday cleanser but also its the only cleanser Ive found that maintains my regular breakouts. The smell is light and not perfumy like some other cleansers. It does a good job getting all of my makeup off too!

Product Review

I LOVE this product but I wish that the opening on the end was smaller so I didn't get such a large amount when I squeezed it. You don't need a lot to create a good foam. Honestly the dispenser similar to the treatments would be perfect!! Other that that such great results after a month of CONSISTENT use!
