Reveal a visibly clearer, smoother and decongested complexion with Clarifying Foam.

This sumptuous foam formula delivers a unique combination of AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) to lightly exfoliate, dissolve impurities and help to both reduce and prevent imperfections in blemish-prone skins.

Despite its powerful purifying abilities, this soothing and pH-balanced formula won't leave the skin feeling dry or tight. Instead, you can expect noticeably clarified, calmer and more even skin that's less prone to breakouts.

KEY INGREDIENTS
Circular Chevron Icon
  • Ingredient Icon 1
    Salicylic Acid

    An effective BHA (beta hydroxy acid), it decongests and exfoliates from within the pore to break down build up that can lead to blemishes, blackheads and enlarged pores.

  • Ingredient Icon 2
    L-Mandelic Acid

    A softly exfoliating AHA with BHA power, mandelic acid is able to work both on the surface of the skin and within pores for deep but gentle exfoliation. The prefixed 'L' indicates the ingredient chosen is most biologically compatible with your skin, meaning optimal results and minimal irritation.

  • Ingredient Icon 3
    Niacinamide

    Also known as vitamin B3, it boasts anti-inflammatory properties to visibly calm blemish-induced irritation while hydrating and supporting the skin's natural barrier.

  • Ingredient Icon 4
    Tea Tree Oil

    Provides powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to help maintain a visibly clear complexion.

The perfect Medik8 cleanser for blemish-prone skins

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer

With its unique combination of AHAs and BHAs, Clarifying Foam delivers a dual-action approach to blemish reduction and prevention.

While L-mandelic acid works on the upper layers of the skin (freeing dead skin cells so they can easily be sloughed away), salicylic acid works to penetrate deep into the pores, helping to break down buildup which can lead to the formation of blemishes.
