What is SkinCeuticals LHA Cleanser?
SkinCeuticals LHA Cleanser is a foaming gel cleanser, also sold as LHA Cleansing Gel, designed for aging skin that is prone to breakouts. It combines cleansing agents with three exfoliating acids, lipo hydroxy acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid, to remove excess oil and makeup while it decongests pores and brightens the skin. Glycerin and sorbitol help skin hold on to moisture. SkinCeuticals recommends it for normal, oily and combination skin. Massage a small amount into a wet face and neck twice daily, then rinse thoroughly with water. Available at SkinCrew in 240 ml ($45).
Sourced direct from SkinCeuticals: guaranteed authentic, batch-fresh, fast US shipping.
The problem
Breakouts do not politely stop when fine lines start. Adult skin can be oily and congested and also showing uneven tone and rougher texture, and the usual blemish cleansers are built for teenagers: harsh, drying and blind to signs of aging. The result is skin that feels stripped but still looks congested and dull.
One cleanser for congestion and visible aging.
LHA Cleanser pairs an alpha hydroxy acid with two beta hydroxy acids. Glycolic acid works on the surface, salicylic acid helps dissolve sebum and debris in the pores, and lipo hydroxy acid promotes even exfoliation. Together they cleanse deeply, refine the look of pores and surface texture, and help reduce breakouts, with glycerin and sorbitol to keep skin from feeling parched.

SkinCeuticals LHA Cleanser: a decongesting gel for clearer, smoother-looking skin
SkinCeuticals LHA Cleanser is a gel-based exfoliating cleanser for aging skin prone to breakouts. It combines lipo hydroxy acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid with potent cleansing agents to remove excess oil and makeup, decongest pores and brighten the skin. SkinCeuticals states that it gently refines the appearance of pores and surface texture and helps reduce breakouts.
Lipo hydroxy acid is a derivative of salicylic acid that SkinCeuticals uses for even exfoliation and to enhance the other exfoliating ingredients. On its US site the brand describes a 12% concentration of combined key ingredients: LHA, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, glycerin and sorbitol. The cleanser is free of alcohol, dyes and soap. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why LHA Cleanser Stands Out
- Three exfoliating acids. Lipo hydroxy acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid work at different levels: the surface of the skin and inside the pore.
- Lipo hydroxy acid. A derivative of salicylic acid that SkinCeuticals describes as promoting even exfoliation and enhancing the performance of other exfoliating ingredients.
- Made for adult breakouts. SkinCeuticals designed it for aging skin prone to breakouts, so it addresses congestion and visible signs of aging in the same step.
- Humectants in the base. Glycerin and sorbitol draw water to the skin and help it maintain moisture, so a deep cleanse does not have to mean a dry finish.
| Feature | LHA Cleanser | Typical blemish face washes | Basic gel cleansers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exfoliating acids | LHA, glycolic acid and salicylic acid | Usually salicylic acid alone | None |
| Designed for | Aging skin prone to breakouts | Younger, oily skin | General cleansing |
| Pore care | Decongests pores and refines their look | Targets pores | Surface cleansing only |
| Moisture support | Glycerin and sorbitol | Varies, often drying | Varies |
| Texture | Foaming gel | Foaming gel or cream | Foaming gel |

What LHA Cleanser Does

Who LHA Cleanser Is For
A strong match for
- Normal, oily and combination skin types
- Adult skin that is both blemish-prone and showing signs of aging
- Skin with congested pores and uneven-looking tone
- People who want an exfoliating cleanser alongside corrective serums
Tolerance and skin type
SkinCeuticals recommends LHA Cleanser for normal, oily and combination skin and suggests Gentle Cleanser for more sensitive skin. Hydroxy acids can increase sensitivity to the sun, so use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Avoid the eye area, and reduce frequency if skin feels dry.

SkinCeuticals LHA Cleanser FAQ
What does SkinCeuticals LHA Cleanser do?
LHA Cleanser removes excess oil and makeup while exfoliating with lipo hydroxy acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid. SkinCeuticals states that it decongests pores, brightens the skin, refines the appearance of pores and surface texture, and helps reduce breakouts.
Is LHA Cleanser the same as LHA Cleansing Gel?
Yes. SkinCeuticals sells this cleanser in the US under the name LHA Cleansing Gel, and it is often called LHA Cleanser. It is the same foaming gel with lipo hydroxy acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid.
How often should I use LHA Cleanser?
SkinCeuticals directs twice daily use: gently massage a small amount into a wet face and neck, then rinse thoroughly with water. If your skin feels dry or tight, use it less often and alternate with a milder cleanser.
Who should use SkinCeuticals LHA Cleanser?
SkinCeuticals designed it for aging skin prone to breakouts and recommends it for normal, oily and combination skin. For more sensitive skin the brand suggests Gentle Cleanser, which is a non-foaming cream without exfoliating acids at this level.
What is lipo hydroxy acid?
Lipo hydroxy acid, listed as capryloyl salicylic acid, is a derivative of salicylic acid. SkinCeuticals describes it as promoting even exfoliation and enhancing the performance of the other exfoliating ingredients in the formula.
What is the difference between LHA Cleanser and Simply Clean?
LHA Cleanser exfoliates with three hydroxy acids and is aimed at blemish-prone, congested skin with signs of aging. Simply Clean is a gel for normal, oily and combination skin that uses HEPES, a light acid, for milder exfoliation and also removes waterproof makeup.
Can I use LHA Cleanser with retinol?
SkinCeuticals says LHA Cleanser can be combined with retinol. If you are new to retinol, the brand advises starting once or twice a week and building up gradually as tolerated, and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
Is SkinCrew an authorized SkinCeuticals retailer in the US?
Yes. SkinCrew is an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer and sources every unit directly from SkinCeuticals, so LHA Cleanser arrives fresh, authentic and in current packaging, with fast US shipping.
