Experience the benefits of effective cleansing and gentle chemical exfoliation with Dr Botanicals Watermelon Superfood 2-in-1 Cleanser & Makeup Remover 100ml.

This multifunctional salicylic acid cleanser is designed to remove everyday makeup, excess oil and impurities while helping improve the appearance of uneven skin texture and dullness.

What Makes This Cleanser Special?

Salicylic Acid for a Clearer-Looking Complexion

Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) commonly used in skincare for oily and blemish-prone complexions. It helps remove excess oil and supports a smoother-looking skin surface.

Glycolic Acid for Radiance

As an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), Glycolic Acid supports the removal of dead surface skin cells, helping dull skin appear brighter and more even.

Lactic Acid for Smoother-Looking Skin

Lactic Acid provides additional surface exfoliation, helping refine the appearance of rough or uneven texture.

Watermelon Seed Oil for Skin Conditioning

Watermelon Seed Oil helps nourish and condition the skin, supporting a softer, more comfortable feel after cleansing.

How to Use Your Watermelon Exfoliating Cleanser

Wet your face: Begin with damp skin and lukewarm water.
Apply the cleanser: Dispense a small amount into your hands.
Massage gently: Work the cleanser across your face using light circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
Rinse thoroughly: Remove the cleanser with lukewarm water.
Pat dry: Gently dry your face with a clean towel.
Finish your routine: Apply your preferred hydrating serum and moisturiser.

How Often Should You Use It?

The supplier describes this as a cleanser suitable for morning and evening use. Because it contains several exfoliating acids, start gradually if you are new to AHAs and BHAs, and increase frequency only as tolerated.

Skincare Tips

Always patch test before first use.
Avoid applying to irritated, broken or sunburnt skin.
Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Be cautious when combining with other exfoliating acids, scrubs or retinoids.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day.
Discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.

Beauty tip: For a simple evening routine, cleanse, follow with a hydrating serum and finish with a moisturiser. For heavy or waterproof eye makeup, use an appropriate dedicated eye makeup remover first.
