Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash 295ml

Value size cleansing foam for the entire teen routine

Anyone running a household with multiple teenagers knows how quickly a bottle of cleanser empties. Two brothers or sisters washing their face morning and night — and for some also their back and chest — go through a standard bottle in just a few weeks. A large package is not a luxury but simply practical sense.

The value size of 295ml contains exactly the same formula as the standard size but in a pump bottle that makes dosing easier and is significantly more cost-effective per milliliter. For those who have already incorporated the Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash into their routine, or for a family where multiple people use the same cleanser, this is the logical next step.

Advantages

• Up to approximately 40% more cost-effective per milliliter than the standard 177ml size
• Practical pump for easy dosing — convenient for daily morning use
• Volume is sufficient for the whole family or extensive use on back and chest
• Lasts about six to eight months for one person with daily use
• Contains the same mild formula with 0.5% salicylic acid and eight botanicals

Active ingredients

Salicylic Acid (0.5%): A consistent daily dose that makes a difference in the long run. With continuous use over months, salicylic acid prevents new pimples from forming, rather than just treating acute outbreaks. It is precisely the sustained use that a large package enables that delivers the best results.

Tea Tree, Lavender & Orange Peel: Three essential oils that have more room to work their sensory magic in this larger bottle. During a morning shower where the foam is also used on the back and chest, the refreshing properties of orange and the calming effect of lavender come through better.

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) & Licorice Root: Two plant-based brightening ingredients that help fade post-inflammatory pigmentation spots — the brown or pink marks left weeks after pimples — more quickly. A consistent long-term approach with these ingredients is much more effective than occasional use.

Spiraea Ulmaria & Oleanolic Acid: Meadowsweet provides a natural form of salicin that enhances the effect of salicylic acid, while oleanolic acid from olive leaf helps regulate sebum production. When used on the back, chest, and shoulders, this sebum-regulating effect is just as valuable as on the face.

Porphyra Umbilicalis & Enantia Chlorantha: Two lesser-known but powerful plant extracts. Red seaweed (Porphyra) is rich in minerals and antioxidants that protect young skin, while Enantia Chlorantha (an African tree bark) naturally has scientifically supported sebum-regulating properties.

How to use

1. Moisten face, neck, and optionally chest or back in the shower or at the sink
2. Pump once into damp hands and rub briefly until a light foam forms
3. Massage in circular motions over the areas to be cleansed, paying extra attention to the T-zone and spots with impurities
4. Let the foam sit on problem areas for about twenty seconds for better effect
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and finish the morning routine with sun protection

Suitable for

• Families with multiple teenagers or young adults using the same cleanser
• Loyal users of the 177ml size who are ready for a value version
• Teenagers and young adults who treat not only their face but also back, chest, or shoulders
• Skin therapists and professionals who use the product in practice
• Not recommended for very dry skin barrier or when using prescription acne medication

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the formula of the 295ml exactly the same as the 177ml?

Yes, exactly the same. The only difference is the bottle size and the type of closure — the 295ml has a pump instead of a flip-top, which makes dosing faster in the morning routine. This is especially a big advantage in practice when multiple family members use the same bottle.

How long does this large package remain usable after opening?

The shelf life after opening (PAO) is indicated on the bottle with a jar symbol and is usually twelve months. When used by one person, a 295ml bottle typically lasts six to eight months, so the contents are always used well within the expiration date.

Can I also use this product on my teenage son’s or daughter’s back and chest acne?

Absolutely, the cleanser is perfect for that. Work it into the problem areas in the shower, let the foam sit for half a minute, and rinse thoroughly. For hard-to-reach spots on the back, the Clear Start Clarifying Body Spray can be a valuable addition after showering.

Is the 295ml pump bottle fully recyclable?

Yes. The bottle is made of HDPE (recycling code 2) and can be fully recycled. The pump is made of PP (recycling code 5) and should be disposed of separately with residual waste, as many municipalities do not process mixed plastic parts. The box is made of FSC-certified paper and goes with the paper recycling.
