VICHY Normaderm Daily Acne Face Wash Gel Cleanser, 0.5% Salicylic Acid for Oily Acne-Prone Skin, Oil-Control & Non-Drying

VICHY Normaderm Daily Acne Face Wash is a soap- and sulfate-free gel cleanser with 0.5% salicylic acid that removes excess oil, dirt, and clogged pores to help clear blackheads and acne blemishes without over-drying.

This lightweight gel cleanser is formulated for oily, acne-prone adult skin and combines salicylic acid with zinc, copper minerals, and Vichy volcanic water to purify pores and improve overall skin texture. The transparent gel foams into a gentle lather that rinses clean, leaving skin refreshed and less prone to shine. Allergy-tested and free from parabens and alcohol, the formula targets blemishes while remaining suitable for sensitive skin that reacts to harsher treatments.

How quickly will I notice fewer blemishes after using this cleanser?

Most users report an immediate feeling of cleaner, less oily skin after the first wash; acne and blackhead reduction depends on individual skin and routine consistency. Daily use can reveal clearer pores and improved tone over several weeks when combined with an appropriate moisturizer and spot treatment.

• Contains 0.5% salicylic acid to help exfoliate inside pores.
• Zinc and copper minerals support skin rebalancing and oil control.
• Visible reduction in surface oil and impurities from first use.
• Best results seen with consistent morning and evening cleansing.

Will this cleanser dry out or irritate sensitive skin?

The formula is designed to be non-drying: it’s soap-free, sulfate-free and alcohol-free, with an allergy-tested light fragrance to minimize irritation. Because salicylic acid can be sensitizing in high concentrations, the 0.5% level offers mild exfoliation that is generally well tolerated by sensitive, oily skin.

• Allergy-tested and sensitive-skin tested to reduce risk of reactions.
• Free from parabens and harsh sulfates that strip moisture.
• Translucent gel that foams gently and rinses clean.
• If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or consult a dermatologist.

How should I use the VICHY Normaderm cleanser in my skincare routine?

Use twice daily—morning and evening—for best oil control and pore-clearing benefits. Apply to damp skin, massage into a light foam focusing on T-zone and blemish-prone areas, then rinse thoroughly and follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer and targeted acne treatments as needed.

• Apply to wet skin and massage for 30–60 seconds for effective cleansing.
• Rinse with lukewarm water and pat skin dry to avoid irritation.
• Follow with oil-free moisturizer and SPF during daytime use.
• Complement with serums or spot treatments tailored to acne severity.

What ingredients make this cleanser effective for oily, acne-prone skin?

The active ingredient, salicylic acid (0.5%), penetrates pores to help loosen sebum and dead skin cells that cause blackheads and pimples. Supporting ingredients like zinc and copper minerals help balance sebum production while Vichy volcanic water provides soothing mineral support to help skin appear calmer and more even.

• 0.5% salicylic acid for gentle pore exfoliation and unclogging.
• Zinc and copper minerals to support oil control and skin repair.
• Vichy volcanic water for mineral-rich, calming hydration.
• Soap-, sulfate-, paraben- and alcohol-free for gentle cleansing.

Who is this for: VICHY Normaderm Daily Acne Face Wash is aimed at adults with oily or combination skin who want a dermatologist-tested, non-drying cleanser to manage acne, blackheads and excess shine. It’s especially suitable for those who prefer science-backed ingredients in a gentle gel formula that fits into daily routines and pairs well with targeted acne care and moisturizers designed for sensitive, oily skin.
