ZEROID Pimprove Foaming Cleanser

What is this product?

A gentle amino acid based foaming cleanser aimed at oily sensitive skin, with salicylic acid and zinc PCA placed meaningfully in the list but no disclosed concentrations. A reasonable pick for those who want a low irritation BHA type cleanser without added fragrance.

What makes it different?

The cleanser uses mild surfactants high in the list, with Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate third and Coco-Glucoside fifth, rather than harsh sulfate washes. Salicylic Acid sits ninth and Zinc PCA seventeenth, so both appear at usable but undisclosed levels. The 19 item list is short and free of added fragrance, essential oils and drying alcohol, which suits sensitive oily skin.
