Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?
A soap-based cleansing foam with salicylic acid at a printed 4,500ppm, plus chestnut shell extract, charcoal and a cluster of pore- and exfoliation-oriented actives placed lower in the list, making it a reasonable pick for oily, congested skin if you tolerate fragrance.
What makes it different?
The formula pairs a classic fatty-acid foam base with a clearly printed 4,500ppm of salicylic acid at position 16 and charcoal powder at position 17, so the exfoliating actives sit mid-list rather than at trace level. A supporting cluster including betaine salicylate, gluconolactone, glycolic acid and zinc PCA appears further down the 43-item list. Three forms of hyaluronic acid near the end and panthenol add hydration to offset the cleansing base. Fragrance is present at position 10.
