The DermaQuest DermaClear Cleanser is a gel cleanser for oily and combination skin prone to impurities. The formula contains 1% Mandelic Acid, a mild AHA, combined with pineapple and papaya fruit enzymes and Tea Tree Oil. It suits oily and combination skin, particularly a shiny T-zone and blackheads.
The DermaClear Cleanser suits oily or combination skin with congested pores and blackheads, usually visible on the nose, chin and forehead. Oily skin and combination skin both benefit from daily, mild exfoliation that doesn't dry out the skin. Four products carry the DermaClear name: alongside this cleanser, there's the DermaClear Mask, the Advanced DermaClear Serum and the DermaClear Kit.
Wet your skin first with lukewarm water. Massage the DermaClear Cleanser gently over your face, then rinse thoroughly. Continue your routine with a serum or moisturiser. Because you rinse the cleanser off, the mandelic acid only works on your skin briefly. Use this product in the morning and/or evening.
The DermaClear Cleanser works with 1% mandelic acid, the lowest acid percentage in the table below. The table compares the cleansers with an AHA or BHA that we stock, plus the acid-free Essential Cleanser.
| Cleanser | Active ingredient | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| DermaClear Cleanser | 1% Mandelic Acid + enzymes | Oily, combination skin, mild |
| BHA Cleanser | 2% Salicylic Acid | Oily, combination skin, deeper in the pore |
| Glyco Resurfacing Cleanser | 15% Glycolic Acid + 1% Lactic Acid | Also normal and dry skin, stronger |
| Essential Cleanser | Enzymes only | All skin types, including sensitive |
The BHA Cleanser contains 2% salicylic acid, a BHA that reaches deeper into the pore. Want more resurfacing? Choose the Glyco Resurfacing Cleanser. Prefer no acid at all? Choose the Essential Cleanser with enzymes.
The DermaClear Cleanser contains 1% Mandelic Acid, pineapple and papaya fruit enzymes and Tea Tree Oil as its active ingredients.
Mandelic Acid (1%). Mandelic acid is an AHA with a relatively large molecule. It penetrates the skin less deeply and more slowly than glycolic acid, which suits a cleanser that only stays on the skin briefly.
Pineapple and papaya extract. Alongside the mandelic acid, these fruit enzymes provide gentle, enzymatic exfoliation. Dead skin cells release more easily, leaving skin feeling smoother.
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil). Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of the Australian tea tree. It calms the skin and visibly reduces redness.

Yes. You cleanse daily with the DermaClear Cleanser and rinse it off, with 1% mandelic acid that works briefly. DermaQuest's BHA Spot Treatment is used afterwards, applied locally to problem areas, with 2% salicylic acid that stays on the skin. The two products complement each other: cleanse with the cleanser, spot-treat with the spot treatment.
The DermaClear Cleanser works with 1% mandelic acid, an AHA that mainly acts on the skin's surface. The BHA Cleanser contains 2% salicylic acid, a BHA that reaches deeper into congested pores. Both are tagged for oily and combination skin with blackheads.
The DermaClear Cleanser contains 1% mandelic acid for mild, daily exfoliation. The Glyco Resurfacing Cleanser works with 15% glycolic acid and 1% lactic acid, and at Olivida is also tagged for normal and dry skin. If you're mainly looking for relief from oily, congested skin, the DermaClear Cleanser is the better fit.
Yes. Alongside this cleanser, DermaQuest also makes a DermaClear Mask and an Advanced DermaClear Serum. Each product works with its own acid. The cleanser uses mandelic acid, and the mask uses salicylic acid and willow bark extract. The serum uses a mix of glycolic, azelaic, salicylic and lactic acid.
