Description

Olivia Skin Purifying Face Cleansing Foam is the most targeted acne-fighting cleanser in Olivia's range. It combines Salicylic Acid (a BHA), Tea Tree Oil, and Rosemary Leaf Oil in a single foam formula — three ingredients with independently strong clinical and research evidence for acne management.
 
 Understanding why this combination is uniquely effective begins with understanding what causes acne. Acne forms when sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria combine inside a pore. Blocking any one of these three pathways helps — targeting all three is where this formula excels.
 
 Salicylic acid is the only BHA (beta-hydroxy acid) that is both oil-soluble and small enough to penetrate inside the pore lining. Unlike AHAs that only exfoliate the surface, salicylic acid dissolves the mixture of sebum and dead cells from inside the pore — the root cause of blackheads, whiteheads, and closed comedones. Tea tree oil (terpinen-4-ol) directly attacks the C. acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria responsible for turning a blocked pore into an inflamed pimple. Rosemary leaf oil's rosmarinic acid reduces the inflammation and redness that make acne visible.
 
 Safe for daily use. Dermatologically tested. Appropriate for teenagers and adults managing acne in India's humid, high-humidity climate.

Benefits
  • Salicylic Acid (BHA) penetrates inside pores to dissolve the sebum-dead cell buildup that causes blackheads and whiteheads
  • Tea Tree Oil (terpinen-4-ol) directly kills C. acnes bacteria — the primary bacteria involved in acne formation
  • Rosemary Leaf Oil reduces inflammation and visible redness around active breakouts
  • Triple-action formula addresses all three root causes of acne: blocked pores, bacteria, and inflammation
  • Prevents new acne formation with consistent twice-daily use
  • Non-comedogenic formulation — will not clog pores or worsen breakouts
  • Dermatologically tested and safe for teenagers, adults, and men
  • pH-optimised formula ensures salicylic acid is in its active form at the skin's surface
Direction to use
  • Step 1 — Wet face with lukewarm water. Do not use very hot water — heat can irritate acne-prone skin.
  • Step 2 — Apply a small amount of foam to face.
  • Step 3 — Massage in gentle circular motions for 60 seconds. Pay particular attention to acne-prone zones: the nose (blackheads), chin, and forehead (T-zone breakouts). Avoid scrubbing or pressing hard.
  • Step 4 — Rinse completely and thoroughly. Leaving any BHA residue can cause irritation.
  • Step 5 — Pat dry. Follow with an oil-free moisturiser — do not skip this step. Over-drying acne-prone skin triggers a compensatory sebum surge that worsens breakouts.

Recommended use:
• Active acne: Twice daily (morning and evening)
• Maintenance or sensitive skin: Once daily (evening)
• If dryness or irritation occurs, reduce to once daily and always moisturise after washing.

Ingredients

Full Ingredient List:
Aqua, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Salicylic Acid (0.5%), Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Glycerin, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate.

Key Ingredient Breakdown:

  • Salicylic Acid (0.5% BHA): The only oil-soluble exfoliating acid in skincare. Because sebum is oil-based, salicylic acid can travel through the sebum layer inside the pore and reach the follicle lining — where it dissolves the dead cell-sebum plug (comedone). At 0.5% in a rinse-off product, it provides meaningful pore-clearing action while remaining safe for sensitive and teenage skin. It is FDA-recognised as a safe and effective over-the-counter acne treatment.
  • Tea Tree Leaf Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia): The primary active compound, terpinen-4-ol, has been shown in a randomised controlled trial published in the Medical Journal of Australia to reduce total acne lesion count by 43.6% over 45 days at 5% concentration — comparable to 5% benzoyl peroxide but with significantly fewer side effects (dryness, peeling, burning). At the concentration used in this rinse-off foam, it provides consistent antibacterial action on the skin surface during every cleansing step.
  • Rosemary Leaf Oil (Rosmarinus Officinalis): Contains rosmarinic acid and ursolic acid — both potent natural anti-inflammatories. Clinical studies show rosmarinic acid inhibits pro-inflammatory enzyme COX-2, directly reducing the redness and swelling around active acne lesions. This calming action is what makes this formula effective even during active flare-ups.
  • Allantoin + Aloe Vera: Soothing agents that protect skin from the potential drying effect of the BHA and ensure the formula remains comfortable for sensitive acne-prone skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Is salicylic acid safe to use in a face wash every day? +
Yes. At 0.5% concentration in a rinse-off cleanser, salicylic acid is well within the safe range for daily use. The rinse-off format means contact time with the skin is short (30–60 seconds), which further minimises any risk of irritation or over-exfoliation. The formula also includes soothing agents (allantoin, aloe vera) that specifically counteract any BHA-related dryness.
Q2. What is skin purging, and will this foam cause it? +
Skin purging is a temporary increase in breakouts that can occur when a cell-turnover-accelerating active (like a BHA) is introduced. It happens because the active speeds up the shedding of the skin's surface cells — bringing congestion that was already forming under the surface to the surface faster than it would have appeared naturally. Purging typically lasts 2–4 weeks and then clears. Importantly, purging only occurs in areas where you normally break out, and the breakouts resolve faster than usual. It is a sign the formula is working.
Q3. I have acne on my back and chest. Can I use this foam there too? +
Yes. The formula is safe for body acne on the back, chest, and shoulders. Apply generously to affected areas in the shower, massage for 60 seconds, and rinse thoroughly. Use a back brush or loofah to ensure good coverage on hard-to-reach areas.
Q4. Will this foam help with acne scars and marks? +
The BHA in this cleanser prevents new acne scars from forming by controlling breakouts. For existing post-acne hyperpigmentation marks (PIH — the dark marks left after spots), pair this cleanser with the Olivia Bright Boost 12% Vitamin C Serum (which reduces melanin) and the Olivia Clear Boost Tea Tree Serum (which addresses active congestion) for a complete acne + post-acne routine.
Q5. Is this safe for teenage skin? +
Yes. Salicylic acid and tea tree oil are among the most widely recommended acne-fighting ingredients for teenage skin — safe, effective, and without the hormonal concerns of some prescription acne treatments. This foam is suitable for ages 13 and above.
Q6. Is this safe to use during pregnancy? +
Salicylic acid in rinse-off products at 0.5–2% is generally considered low-risk, but pregnant women are advised to consult their gynaecologist or dermatologist before using any BHA-containing product during pregnancy.

So, my name is Yogita, and I have been using Olivia products for seven-eight months now. I initially thought they only offered beauty products, but they offer a wide range of beauty and skincare products. So let me take you on my journey with Olivia. It all started with their body wash, which takes you to a whole new level when you use it. It gives you a soft texture and feels like you just had a bath. I do it at least once a day and the aromatic bathing experience takes me to a different level of freshness.

This Kajal is a great purchase! It glides on smoothly, lasts for a long time, and is very easy to apply. I can wear it for hours without any smudging. And im a big fan of turquoise color. Highly recommended!

Lipsticks are a must have in every girls vanity. I'm super fond of applying lipsticks and my current favourites are Olivia Beauty's newly launched Liquid Love Lipsticks. They come in so many shades, have smooth application and are highly pigmented. The best thing is that they don't dry out your lips and last very long. Hence i highly recommend these lipsticks. Perfect for all skin types and all occasions

I bought this after watching your Instagram post @oliviabeauty_india The foam that pumps out of the bottle generously covered my face. The bristles were soft on my skin, gently exfoliating and giving a good massage. I choose grapefruit+ vitamin C variant. It had a sweet fragrant. I felt refreshed and relaxed after using it. I would highly recommend everyone to try it
