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.

Customers said this cleanser effectively clears acne and blackheads. Many noted "skin has never stayed clear for this long" and works well for hormonal acne. Praised for being gentle while leaving skin soft and refreshed. Some noted it depletes quickly and a few with sensitive skin experienced breakouts. Concerns raised about packaging quality and price increases.

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:

Have been using this product for about 6 months now daily, and I can honestly say it did not disappoint. If you’re 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 don’t get severe acne but I have had my bad days, and this has helped keep the bad days away.
J
great product, just enough salicylic for at home use.
S
I absolutely love SLMD skin care, the Salicylic Acid cleaner and the moisturizer with SPF 10, are the only products which keep my acne at bay. I’ve been using these products for about 2 years now! :) Thank You !! For clean skin
E
I am on my second bottle best stuff ever keeps my face super clear and if I get a zit it’s gone in 24 hours
M
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!

It took 20 days for this order to be delivered, every request I made to customer support was ignored, each time I reached out to the shipping company I got the same. I can’t believe Dr Sandra Lee let this happen to her name. Service is pathetic.
