Sebamed's acne-focused cleanser — built on the brand's signature pH 5.5 philosophy that's been backed by decades of clinical research into acid-mantle preservation. The Montaline C40 (coconut-derived antimicrobial surfactant) provides gentle antibacterial activity against P. acnes without the harshness of benzoyl peroxide or the resistance concerns of antibiotics. Panthenol soothes and strengthens the barrier; lactic acid provides mild keratolytic exfoliation at a concentration too low to sensitize but enough to prevent pore congestion. At ~$13 for 150ml, it's one of the cheapest effective cleansers for acne-prone skin — and unlike harsher alternatives, it doesn't strip the acid mantle, which means no rebound oiliness. German dermatologists have been recommending Sebamed pH 5.5 products for 50+ years; this cleanser is the acne-specific entry point into that system.
