Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSSalicylic Acid (BHA) ~0.5%Proven
An oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that penetrates pore linings to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells. The gold-standard ingredient for blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory acne.
- FDA-recognized: Concentrations of 0.5–2% are recognized by the U.S. FDA as over-the-counter acne treatments.
- Mechanism: Oil-soluble structure allows penetration through sebum-clogged pores where AHAs cannot reach.
- Anti-inflammatory: Structurally similar to aspirin, it calms irritated, inflamed breakouts.
Tea Tree Leaf Oil <1%Proven
A natural essential oil from Melaleuca alternifolia, recognized for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action against Cutibacterium acnes (formerly P. acnes).
- Clinical evidence: A 5% tea tree gel showed comparable acne-reducing efficacy to 5% benzoyl peroxide with fewer side effects in published trials.
- Antimicrobial: Active component terpinen-4-ol disrupts bacterial membranes.
- Pairs well with: Salicylic acid for compounded anti-acne benefits.
5D Hyaluronic Acid Complex Multi-MWProven
Five molecular variants of HA — Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, and Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate — that hydrate from surface to deeper epidermal layers.
- High-MW HA: Forms a hydrating film on the skin surface, reducing trans-epidermal water loss.
- Low-MW HA: Penetrates deeper to plump and support the dermal water reservoir.
- Acetylated HA: Has improved skin affinity thanks to amphipathic acetyl groups acting as molecular anchors.
Centella Asiatica Extract ~0.1–0.5%Proven
Also known as Cica or Gotu Kola, this Asian botanical is rich in madecassoside, asiaticoside, and asiatic acid — all studied for soothing, wound-healing, and barrier-supporting effects.
- Soothing: Reduces visible redness and inflammation around active breakouts.
- Scar healing: Madecassoside has been shown to support collagen synthesis and improve healing of post-acne marks.
- Antioxidant-rich: Contains vitamins A, B, C and free-radical-fighting compounds.
Amino Acid Complex ~1%Promising
A blend of Serine, Histidine, Threonine, and Aspartic Acid — building blocks of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and key components of collagen and elastin.
- Serine: Non-essential amino acid that binds water and supports skin hydration.
- Histidine: Essential amino acid and building block of collagen.
- Threonine & Aspartic Acid: Help maintain protein structure and hydration in the stratum corneum.
Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract <1%Promising
Derived from the "miracle tree" native to the Himalayas. Acts as an antioxidant emollient, helping to seal in moisture while neutralizing pollution-induced free radicals.
- Vitamin E rich: A natural antioxidant that protects skin from environmental stress.
- Detoxifying: Studies suggest moringa can bind to environmental pollutants on the skin.
- Anti-inflammatory: Contains ferulic acid and catechins that calm reactive skin.

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse as the first cleansing step in the morning, or as the second step at night after an oil cleanser to remove sunscreen and makeup.
How to use
HOW TO USEWet Your Face
Splash with lukewarm water — hot water can over-strip the moisture barrier and worsen acne dryness.
Dispense & Lather
Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto wet palms and rub together until a creamy foam forms.
Massage Gently
Apply to the face in upward circular motions for 30–60 seconds. Focus on T-zone, jawline, and active breakout areas.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse with cool to lukewarm water until the skin feels squeaky-clean but not tight, then pat dry with a clean towel.
Follow Up Immediately
Apply a hydrating toner and moisturizer within 60 seconds to lock in moisture and prevent post-cleanse dryness.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESSalicylic acid and the foaming surfactant system effectively control sebum and unclog pores without leaving residue.
Targeted formula combining BHA, tea tree, and centella addresses active acne and post-blemish marks together.
Hydrating amino acids and 5D HA balance the cleansing power, but limit dry-cheek areas to 30 seconds.
SLS and SLES may be too stripping for very dry skin. Consider a gentler cleanser unless you have occasional breakouts.
Tea tree oil, sulfates, and BHA may irritate reactive skin. Patch test on the jawline for 3 days before full use.

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. The cleanser contains Salicylic Acid (BHA). Most dermatologists consider rinse-off salicylic acid products at low concentrations to be low-risk during pregnancy because contact time is brief and absorption is minimal. However, oral salicylates are not recommended during pregnancy, so guidance varies. Always consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist before adding any BHA product to your pregnancy or breastfeeding routine.
No, this product is not fungal acne safe. The formula contains PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Glycol Distearate, and Cocamide MEA — all of which can act as food sources for Malassezia yeast. If you suspect fungal acne (small uniform itchy bumps on the forehead, chest, or back), look for sulfate-based cleansers without esters, fatty acids, or polysorbates.
Yes, with care. As a rinse-off cleanser, the salicylic acid contact time is brief, so it generally pairs well with most actives. However, using it alongside leave-on BHA, AHA, or retinol can compound dryness and irritation. We recommend alternating: cleanser + Vitamin C in the morning, cleanser + retinol or BHA serum at night. Always finish with a hydrating moisturizer and apply SPF daily.
It is best suited for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. The salicylic acid + tea tree combination targets sebum buildup and acne bacteria, while the 5D Hyaluronic Acid and amino acid complex prevent the typical post-cleanse dryness. Dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone users may find the SLS/SLES content too stripping and should consider gentler alternatives.
Most users notice cleaner, less oily skin from the first wash, with reduced midday shine within the first week. Visible reduction in active acne and clogged pores typically appears between weeks 2 and 4 of consistent twice-daily use. Smoother texture and fading of post-acne marks (PIH) usually develop over 4–8 weeks. Some users may experience a brief purging phase in the first 1–2 weeks as salicylic acid clears existing congestion.
Use it as your cleansing step — Step 1 in the morning, and Step 2 at night after an oil cleanser if you wear makeup or sunscreen. Follow with hydrating toner, treatment serums, moisturizer, and (in the morning) broad-spectrum SPF 30+. Apply moisturizer within 60 seconds of cleansing to lock in hydration and prevent the salicylic acid from over-drying your skin.
No. The cleanser has a low comedogenic rating of 1/5. The active ingredients — salicylic acid and tea tree oil — actively work against comedone formation, and the formula is rinsed off rather than left on the skin. While it contains some PEGs and Cocamide MEA (relevant for fungal acne), these do not generally cause traditional bacterial acne in a wash-off product.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months, indicated by the "12M" symbol on the packaging. With twice-daily use, a 100g tube typically lasts 2–4 months. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always close the cap tightly to prevent water contamination and preserve the salicylic acid's effectiveness.
Verdict: Y.O.U Hy! Amino AC-Ttack Anti-Acne Facial Wash punches well above its drugstore price point. The combination of salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and centella asiatica is a clinically validated trio for acne control, while the 5D Hyaluronic Acid and amino acid complex address the most common complaint about anti-acne cleansers — over-drying. It is an excellent daily anti-acne cleanser for oily and combination skin, but the SLES/SLS content makes it less suitable for dry, sensitive, or barrier-compromised users. Not fungal-acne safe, and pregnancy use should be cleared with a doctor. For its price, performance, and active-ingredient list, this is one of the best-value anti-acne cleansers from Southeast Asia.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
