Clarifying Foam is the blemish-focused cleanser in the Medik8 range — the same AHA/BHA approach as Surface Radiance Cleanse, but reformulated around congestion and breakouts rather than dullness and texture.

Mandelic and salicylic acid exfoliate and decongest, with salicylic acid working inside the follicle where blockages actually form. Tea tree oil adds antibacterial action, and niacinamide calms the redness and inflammation that come with active blemishes — which is what separates this from the harsh, stripping foaming washes most people reach for when their skin breaks out.

BEST FOR
- Blemish-prone and breakout-prone skin
- Congestion, blackheads and blocked pores
- Oily and combination skin
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Teenage and hormonal acne, alongside a proper routine
- Anyone using stripping acne washes that have made things worse

KEY INGREDIENTS
- Mandelic Acid (AHA) — gentle surface exfoliation, well tolerated on blemish-prone skin
- Salicylic Acid (BHA) — oil-soluble, clears blockages from inside the follicle
- Tea Tree Oil — natural antibacterial action
- Niacinamide — calms redness and supports the barrier

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Massage into damp skin morning and evening, rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

If skin becomes dry or tight, reduce to once daily and use Gentle Cleanse for the other wash.

Contains exfoliating acids, which increase sun sensitivity. Always apply SPF 30 or higher in the morning.

Surface Radiance Cleanse — AHA/BHA gel-to-foam. Dullness, texture, congestion and early ageing. The all-rounder and the bestseller.

Clarifying Foam — AHA/BHA foam with tea tree and niacinamide. The blemish-focused version.

Pore Cleanse Gel Intense — the strongest exfoliating cleanser in the range. Enlarged pores, oiliness and stubborn texture.

Gentle Cleanse — ultra-mild foam, no acids. Sensitive or compromised skin, and the right morning cleanse for anyone using retinal at night.

Calmwise Soothing Cleanser — the gentlest in the range. Redness, flushing, reactivity and post-treatment skin.

Micellar Mousse — nourishing micellar foam. Effortless, non-stripping, suits everyone.

Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil — first cleanse. Dissolves SPF and makeup before anything else.

Most people need two: an oil first, then a water-based second cleanse.
Clarifying Foam or Surface Radiance Cleanse?
Both use AHA and BHA. Clarifying Foam adds tea tree and niacinamide and is built for breakouts. Surface Radiance is built for dullness, texture and ageing. If spots are your main concern, this one.

Will a cleanser clear my acne?
On its own, no — and be wary of anything that claims it will. Cleansing supports an acne routine; it doesn't replace the treatment steps or, where it's needed, medical management. If your acne is scarring or persistent, book a consultation rather than working through products.

Can I use it with Press & Clear?
Yes, though start by alternating. Both contain salicylic acid and using them together from day one is often too much at once.

My skin is oily but also sensitive. Is this too much?
Possibly. Start once daily, in the evening, with Gentle Cleanse in the morning.
