The salicylic acid face wash that doesn't strip your skin.
Epionce Purifying Wash is a botanical salicylic acid cleanser for oily, combination, and breakout-prone skin. The 0.6% salicylic acid is paired with willow bark, marshmallow, spearmint, and menthol — actives that exfoliate inside the pore while soothing redness on the surface. Gentle enough for daily use, strong enough to keep skin clear.
Why people reach for it
0.6% salicylic acid — strong enough to clear pores and reduce blemishes, gentle enough to use morning and evening without over-drying.
Marshmallow extract and menthol calm redness and irritation as you wash — rare for an acne cleanser.
Botanical surfactant blend cleanses without that tight, squeaky feeling that wrecks the skin barrier and triggers more oil.
Most clients get 4–6 months from the 8 fl oz tube — high actives at a working price point.
Who it's for
Best for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Most skin types tolerate daily use:
Why it works
A beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates into pores to dissolve oil and dead cells — the gold standard for daily acne management.
A natural source of salicin (a precursor to salicylic acid) — adds gentle, plant-based exfoliating benefit.
A botanical demulcent that calms inflammation and reduces visible redness while you cleanse.
Cooling botanicals that leave skin feeling fresh, awake, and decongested — a small but noticeable luxury for a daily face wash.

Common questions
Is this the best face wash for oily skin?
It's one of the better-performing daily salicylic acid cleansers in the medical-grade tier. The 0.6% salicylic acid + botanical surfactant base means you get pore-clearing benefit without the tight, stripped feeling that drugstore acne washes leave behind.
Will it dry out my skin?
If you use it twice daily and you have dry or sensitive skin, possibly. We typically recommend starting once a day (PM only), then increasing to twice daily as tolerated. Always follow with a moisturizer.
Can I use it with retinol or other actives?
Yes. Salicylic acid in a wash-off product gives only a brief active contact time, so it pairs well with leave-on retinols, vitamin C, and the Lytic Tx series.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Salicylic acid in topical wash-off products is generally considered low-risk during pregnancy, but always check with your provider. If you'd prefer to skip salicylic acid entirely, ask us about Epionce Milky Lotion Cleanser.
Can I use it on my body?
Yes — it's marketed as a face and body cleanser and works particularly well on chest, back, and shoulder breakouts (bacne, maskne).
Do you ship, or can I pick up locally?
Both. Free shipping over $100 within the US, or pick up at our San Antonio location (20327 Interstate 10 Ste 140) — usually ready within 24 hours of ordering.
