SUNDAY RILEY Breakout Breakup Purifying Salicylic Acid Cleanser

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is such an excellent cleanser that reduces break outs and imperfections. It really lets my skin breathe, and it doesn't dry it out. It's is gentle, but it feels very effective. I'm not crazy about the smell, but it does not linger.

This cleanser is a complete game-changer! I have struggled with stubborn hormonal breakouts for years, but the Sunday Riley Breakout Breakup has truly helped clear out my skin. After a few weeks of consistent use, my active blemishes calmed down significantly, and the overall appearance of my skin improved dramatically—less texture and fewer new spots. It provides a deep cleanliness without stripping my skin, and surprisingly, it doesn't leave a feeling of excessive tightness. This is the best salicylic acid cleanser I've found for blemish-prone skin. Highly recommend for anyone looking to control and clear breakouts!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the Sunday Riley Breakout Breakup Salicylic Acid Cleanser consistently, and I'm really impressed with how effective yet gentle it is. It helps keep breakouts under control without stripping or over-drying my skin, which is a huge win for me since salicylic acid cleansers can sometimes feel harsh. The texture is smooth, it lathers nicely, and my skin feels clean and refreshed after every wash—not tight or irritated. Over time, I've noticed fewer clogged pores and calmer skin overall. This works great as part of a regular skincare routine, especially for blemish-prone or combination skin. Definitely a solid cleanser I'd repurchase.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As someone with blemish-prone skin who's constantly juggling long hospital days and late-night skincare, the Sunday Riley Breakout Breakup Salicylic Acid Cleanser has honestly been such a nice addition to my routine. The texture is silky and gentle, and it gives my skin that clean, refreshed feeling without stripping it dry — which is rare for a salicylic acid cleanser. I loved how it helped calm congestion and those stubborn under-the-skin bumps that love to pop up after stress-filled weeks. After using it consistently, my complexion looked smoother and more balanced, and I noticed fewer new breakouts overall. It's the kind of cleanser that feels effective but still comforting, making it a perfect "reset" step at the end of a busy day.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I didn't notice much improvement in my acne while using this. In fact, I had several breakouts during that time—though I genuinely believe my acne is stress-related, since I tend to break out no matter what products I use. I used this both morning and night, and while it didn't help my acne, it did leave my skin feeling clean and soft without drying it out. My only complaint about the formula is that it's very runny; it's a clear, watery liquid, and I wish it had a bit more substance. Overall, I wish I had better things to say, but honestly, it didn't make any difference in my breakouts.
