What it is and what it does
NoLIO BHA Pore Minimizing Cleanser is your go-to face wash for oily, acne-prone skin, offering a deep cleanse and exfoliation while keeping breakouts at bay. Formulated with 5% glycolic acid and 2% salicylic acid, this powerful low pH cleanser works to clear away pore-clogging dirt and sebum, helping to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. The benefits of regular use include smoother, clearer skin, as dead skin cells are gently exfoliated, reducing the risk of blemishes and comedones.
This exfoliating cleanser has a gel texture for a satisfying cleanse that leaves your skin feeling refreshed, without stripping it of essential moisture. NoLIO Gly/Sal Pore Minimizing Cleanser is ideal for oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin types, making it an excellent choice for those who struggle with excess sebum, blackheads, and uneven skin texture.
This product is free from parabens, formaldehyde, and phthalates, though it does contain fragrance.

Questions about this product
Answered by Dr. Leslie Baumann, MD, FAAD · Miami, FL · 200+ partner practices
NoLIO Gly/Sal Pore Minimizing Cleanser isn’t too harsh for oily,
sensitive, oily, or oily, rosacea-prone skin. However, avoid using it on
stinging, freshly treated, or wounded skin and dry skin. Salicylic acid soothes
irritation, but limit other exfoliants, like vitamin C and retinoids, in your
routine- especially if you have sensitive skin.
Yes -if you are one of the 4 oily, resistant skin types like
ORNW, ORPW, ORPT, ORNT and are not starting a retinoid. If you have sensitive skin,
it depends on which subtype of sensitive skin you have. Oily, rosacea-prone and
stinging sensitive types should not use this face wash when starting a retinoid
or increasing the strength of the retinoid. When starting a retinoid, stop
using this until your skin has acclimated to the new retinoid.
If you are an oily skin type according to the Baumann Skin
Typing system, this product is gentle enough for daily use. In most skin types,
it should be used once a day. Take our skin type quiz so that we can give you
more personalized advice about how often to use this cleanser.
This cleanser, when part of a complete personalized skin
care routine that matches your Baumann Skin Type, can target deep, cystic breakouts. It should
be combined with acne treatments for best results. This is not a stand-alone treatment
for cystic acne.
This salicylic aid cleanser will help prevent breakouts
without clogging pores, however, it is best for oily and normal skin types.
You should not develop skin purging from using this once a
day.
This cleanser is not for dry skin types. It is designed for
oily skin types and does not increase oil production.
It is best to avoid salicylic acid when pregnant even though
this is a small amount and has a short contact time with your skin. If you have acne and need to use this, discuss
it with your doctor.
Users want to know how quickly they can expect to see
improvements in skin texture and pore size.
This exfoliating cleanser will improve skin discoloration
over time but should be used as part of a comprehensive hyperpigmentation
treatment routine for best results.
