EL TESSA Salicylic Acid Face Wash for Acne

• As a salicylic acid cleanser, it is oil-soluble, so it works inside the pore, not just on the surface.
• Cleaner, less oily skin in the first two weeks; fewer new breakouts by week 4 to 6.
• Keeps the T-zone matte for longer without a harsh, stripped feel.
• Made for oily and combination skin; use once daily if your skin is dry or sensitive.

Looking for a salicylic acid face wash for oily skin in Pakistan? Ask any dermatologist what breakout-prone skin should wash with, and one ingredient comes up before all others: salicylic acid. Not because it's fashionable — because it's the only common cleansing active that is oil-soluble, which means it works inside the pore where breakouts are actually born, instead of skating over the surface.

The EL TESSA Salicylic Face Wash puts that science in your basin. Twice a day it clears the oil and buildup that turn into tomorrow's blackheads, keeps the T-zone matte for longer, and does it all without the harsh, stripped-dry aftermath that makes skin produce even more oil in revenge.

Oily and combination skin, and anyone who wants an acne face wash they can use twice a day. Blackheads and whiteheads across the nose and chin. Skin that erupts every summer when the humidity arrives. It's also the natural partner to our 2% Acne Control Serum — the wash manages the surface, the serum treats the depths.

Dry or sensitive skin? Start once daily, or choose a gentler cleanser — this one means business.

1. Morning and evening, massage it over damp skin for 30–60 seconds.

Is this salicylic acid face wash good for oily, acne-prone skin?

Yes — this is the cleanser built for exactly that skin. Salicylic acid is the one ingredient dermatologists name before all others for oily, breakout-prone skin, because it is oil-soluble and works inside the pore where breakouts are actually born rather than skating over the surface. It clears oil and buildup and keeps the T-zone matte for longer, without the stripped-dry aftermath that makes skin produce even more oil.

Does it help with blackheads and whiteheads?

That is its main job. Used twice a day, it clears the oil and buildup that turn into tomorrow's blackheads, so pores stay clear instead of congesting. Expect fewer new breakouts by week four to six of regular use.

Can I use it on dry or sensitive skin?

Carefully, if at all — this one means business. Start once daily and watch how your skin responds, or choose a gentler cleanser instead. Either way, patch-test on a small area for 24 hours before first use.

Can I use it together with an acne serum or other actives?

Yes — it is the natural partner to our 2% Acne Control Serum: the wash manages the surface, the serum treats the depths. One thing to drop, though: physical scrubs. The acid is already exfoliating, and scrubbing on top of it is too much.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Ask your doctor before using it — that caution comes with this product for a reason, and your doctor knows your situation better than any product page does. There are plenty of gentle, acid-free cleansers to use in the meantime.

When will I see results on my breakouts?

Cleaner-feeling, less oily skin usually shows in the first two weeks. Fewer new breakouts come later, by week four to six, as pores stay clear. Give it that full window before judging it.

Do I need moisturizer and sunscreen with it?

Yes to both. Follow every wash with an oil-free moisturizer — yes, oily skin needs one — and wear sunscreen by day. Skipping moisturizer tends to backfire: stripped skin answers with more oil.

Is this the original product or a copy?

Every bottle we ship is genuine, factory-sealed and batch-fresh — we do not stock loose or repacked products. If the seal is broken on arrival, do not use it; unopened items are covered by our 7-day return policy.

How long does delivery take in Pakistan?

Delivery is free anywhere in Pakistan and takes 2–3 working days in major cities, 3–5 working days elsewhere, up to 7 in remote areas.

How can I pay?

You can pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay - secure checkout by Stripe) or pay on delivery (COD) - available in Pakistan only — you pay the rider when the parcel reaches you. No advance payment or bank transfer needed.
