How to use
HOW TO USEWet Your Face
Rinse your face with warm water to open up pores and prepare the skin for cleansing.
Apply & Massage
Squeeze a small amount onto your fingertips and apply evenly to your face. Gently massage in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
Leave On Briefly
Allow the formula to work on your skin for 30 seconds to 1 minute so the Salicylic Acid and Zinc Gluconate can penetrate pores.

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. This face wash contains Salicylic Acid (BHA), which is generally advised against during pregnancy in high concentrations. However, since this is a rinse-off product with a relatively low concentration of Salicylic Acid, the risk is considered minimal by many dermatologists. That said, it is always best to consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist before using any BHA product during pregnancy or breastfeeding to ensure it is appropriate for your situation.
No, this product is not considered fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including Stearic Acid, Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, PEG-3 Distearate, and Polysorbate 20. If you are dealing with fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis), look for a cleanser that avoids fatty acids, esters, and polysorbates entirely.
Yes, since this is a rinse-off cleanser, it is generally safe to use alongside retinol, vitamin C, AHA, and other BHA products in your routine. The Salicylic Acid in the cleanser is washed off and does not stay on the skin long enough to cause significant interactions. Simply cleanse with this product first, then apply your leave-on actives. If you experience increased dryness or irritation, consider alternating your actives between morning and evening routines.
This face wash is specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It excels at controlling excess sebum, unclogging pores, and fighting acne breakouts. It also works well for combination skin, particularly on the oily T-zone. However, those with very dry, dehydrated, or extremely sensitive skin may find it too stripping and should consider a gentler cleanser instead.
You will notice immediate oil control and a cleaner feeling after the very first wash. Reduced breakouts and pore improvement typically become visible within 2-4 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Full results including clearer skin, refined pores, and better overall complexion may take 6-8 weeks. Some users may experience mild purging (temporary increase in breakouts) in the first 1-2 weeks as clogged pores are cleared out.
This face wash is always the first step in your skincare routine, both morning and evening. Apply it to wet skin, massage for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then rinse off. After cleansing, follow with your toner, serum or treatment, moisturizer, and sunscreen (in the morning). Since it is a rinse-off product, it pairs well with virtually any leave-on products in your routine.
The comedogenic rating for this product is estimated at 2 out of 5 (low-moderate). While it does contain some potentially comedogenic ingredients such as Myristic Acid and Lauric Acid, these are present in a wash-off formulation, which significantly reduces the risk of pore clogging. The Salicylic Acid and Kaolin Clay in the formula actively work to unclog and clean pores, further offsetting any comedogenic risk from other ingredients.
The estimated Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. The product contains multiple preservatives including Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, and Caprylhydroxamic Acid to maintain stability. Store it in a cool, dry place and keep the cap closed after each use. Discard if you notice any changes in smell, color, or texture.
Verdict: Kahf Oil and Acne Care Face Wash is an excellent budget-friendly daily cleanser for men with oily and acne-prone skin. Its combination of Salicylic Acid, Zinc Gluconate, Kaolin Clay, and Mediterranean botanical extracts delivers effective oil control and acne management at an incredibly affordable price point. The sulfate-free, paraben-free, halal-certified formula is a standout in the Indonesian men's skincare market. However, it is not suitable for fungal acne sufferers, and the inclusion of fragrance and menthol limits its appeal for very sensitive skin types. For its target audience — men dealing with oiliness and breakouts who want an affordable, effective, halal-certified cleanser — this is a top recommendation.

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.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
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.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
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. 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.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
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 are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

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.
