Product overview
Key Ingredients
- Salicylic Acid: a well-established beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) used at the concentration typical of a wash-off cleanser to help cleanse pores and support clearer-looking skin
- Niacinamide, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), and Tocopherol (Vitamin E): included for their brightening and skin-conditioning properties
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate: a licorice-root-derived soothing agent
- Also contains Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract and Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, along with a foaming cleanser base and Fragrance/Parfum, per the listed ingredient panel
Key Features
- Manufactured by Karmarts Public Company Limited, a Thai public company and owner of the Cathy Doll brand
- Country-of-origin note: the brand's confirmed legal owner is based in Thailand, but some Bangladeshi retailers describe this and other Cathy Doll products as "Made in Korea" -- this is a recurring conflict seen across multiple Cathy Doll products in this catalog. MedEasy discloses both claims rather than asserting one with confidence
- Marketing-claims note: the product name "Acne Solution" and some retailer language ("removes acne," "combats acne and pimples") reads as disease-treatment-implying for what is a cosmetic, short-contact-time, wash-off cleanser with Salicylic Acid at an undisclosed concentration. This description avoids "removes/solves/combats acne" language and instead describes the product as helping support clearer-looking, cleansed skin as part of a regular routine
Benefits
- Marketed to help cleanse pores, support oil control, and help even out the look of skin tone as part of a regular cleansing routine
