Clinical
Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash is a topical liquid cleanser containing salicylic acid, a keratolytic ingredient commonly used in acne and blemish care products. This is an OTC monograph drug, meaning it is marketed under established FDA guidelines for over-the-counter skin care products rather than as an individually reviewed application. Salicylic acid is typically used to help exfoliate the skin and unclog pores as part of a cleansing routine. The product is applied directly to the skin as a wash.
