The Rosemary Relief Gel Cleanser is a targeted daily cleanser for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin, pairing 5% Rosemary Leaf Extract with 0.45% BHA (Salicylic Acid) in a low-pH gel formula that delivers active pore-cleansing and antibacterial benefit at the cleansing stage. Rosemary has a long history in European botanical medicine as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herb, and KAINE applies it alongside Salicylic Acid's well-established oil-soluble exfoliation to create a cleanser that actively manages congestion rather than simply removing surface impurities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula targets the primary causes of acne and congestion at the cleansing step, delivering antibacterial, exfoliating, and soothing activity before the rest of the routine begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5% Rosemary Leaf Extract for Antibacterial and Antioxidant Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract at 5% delivers meaningful antibacterial activity against the bacteria associated with acne and congestion, alongside anti-inflammatory tannins and flavonoids that reduce the redness and swelling of active blemishes. Its antioxidant content provides additional protection against the free radical activity that aggravates acne-prone skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.45% BHA (Salicylic Acid) for Pore Exfoliation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate the sebum-filled pore lining where most exfoliants cannot reach. At 0.45%, it delivers effective pore-clearing exfoliation within a rinse-off cleanser, helping to prevent the congestion build-up that leads to blackheads and breakouts, without the dryness or irritation of higher-concentration leave-on BHA treatments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow pH for Barrier-Compatible Cleansing:\u003c\/strong\u003e The formula is pH-balanced to sit within the skin's natural acid mantle range (pH 4.5 to 5.5). Conventional foaming cleansers are typically alkaline (pH 8 to 10), which disrupts the skin's protective barrier and contributes to compensatory sebum overproduction. This cleanser's low pH maintains barrier integrity while delivering its antibacterial and exfoliating benefits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGentle Surfactant System for Daily Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Despite its active ingredient content, the cleanser uses mild, plant-derived surfactants that remove excess sebum and impurities without stripping the skin's natural lipid layer, making it appropriate for twice-daily use without causing the over-cleansed tightness that triggers increased oil production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the KAINE Rosemary Relief Gel Cleanser?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBHA in a Cleanser That Actually Works:\u003c\/strong\u003e Most BHA cleansers are rinsed off before Salicylic Acid can exert meaningful activity. KAINE's low pH base ensures the BHA is active during its brief contact time, delivering a genuine (if moderate) exfoliating effect rather than a label claim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Antibacterial Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosemary and Salicylic Acid target the bacteria and congestion associated with acne through complementary mechanisms, making this cleanser a more comprehensive approach to breakout management at the cleansing step than single-active formulas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan, EWG Verified, and Dermatologist-Tested:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free from artificial fragrance, parabens, and common sensitising ingredients. Note that Rosemary oil has a natural botanical scent from the extract concentration — this is the plant's natural aroma rather than added fragrance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkin types:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oily, combination, normal, and acne-prone skin.

Using a BHA cleanser alongside a leave-on BHA treatment is manageable for most oily skin types, but if you experience dryness or irritation, alternate the cleanser with a gentler formula on non-BHA-treatment evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the BHA concentration effective in a rinse-off formula?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: At 0.45% within a low-pH base, the Salicylic Acid contributes meaningfully to pore-clearing even as a rinse-off product, though it is less potent than leave-on BHA treatments. The benefit is cumulative and most effective when used consistently twice daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this suitable for sensitive acne-prone skin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The formula is designed for acne-prone rather than purely sensitive skin. If your skin is both sensitive and acne-prone, start with once-daily use and monitor tolerance before increasing to twice daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe KAINE Rosemary Relief Gel Cleanser treats the cleansing step as the first line of acne management rather than a neutral hygiene step, delivering antibacterial and pore-clearing activity that supports the rest of an active routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acne\"\u003eacne\u003c\/a\u003e collection, or see more from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kaine\"\u003eKAINE\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KAINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47822577467726,"sku":"1115132078","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/1115132078.png?v=1778671447","url":"https:\/\/skin-nomad.fr\/products\/kaine-rosemary-relief-gel-cleanser","provider":"Skin-Nomad","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
