Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser
The Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser is a favorite with my clients whose skin feels congested, looks inflamed, or just isn’t as smooth as it could be. What they love most is how it calms angry, inflamed breakouts, helping them look smaller and less red while it clears clogged pores, blackheads and surface buildup.
So you’re not only exfoliating. You’re also soothing the irritated skin that comes with an active breakout. And despite being an exfoliating cleanser, it leaves skin feeling clean and smooth rather than stripped or tight.

6.4 oz
What Makes It Different
- Calms inflamed breakouts so they look smaller and less red
- Two acids do two different jobs: one works inside the pore, the other exfoliates the surface
- Targets congestion, blackheads and uneven texture in one step
- Exfoliates without leaving skin stripped or tight
- Works as an exfoliating, anti-aging cleanser as skin gets drier
Key Ingredients
Salicylic Acid 2%
Oil-soluble, so it works inside the pore where excess oil and dead skin can become trapped, making it especially helpful for blackheads and congestion.
Glycolic Acid 2%
Exfoliates dead skin cells on the surface to help skin look smoother and more refined.
Raspberry Extract
Provides antioxidant support and helps calm the look of redness and irritation in breakout-prone skin.
Tea Tree Oil
Adds purifying support for oily and breakout-prone skin.
How to Use
Apply to damp skin and massage gently, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Use 2–4 times per week and adjust frequency based on how your skin responds. Follow with moisturizer and wear SPF daily.
Pila’s tip: Aging myself here, but I remember when salicylic acid was the anti-aging ingredient. Even as my skin has gotten drier, I still use the Raspberry Refining Cleanser as an anti-aging cleanser. I love the exfoliation, and it never leaves my skin feeling stripped or tight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser good for acne-prone skin?
A: Yes. It’s especially well suited to oily, congested and breakout-prone skin. Salicylic and glycolic acid help clear clogged pores and surface buildup, while raspberry extract helps calm inflamed breakouts so they look smaller and less red.
Q: Does it help with blackheads and clogged pores?
A: Yes. Salicylic acid works inside the pore to help loosen excess oil and dead skin that contribute to blackheads and congestion, while glycolic acid exfoliates buildup on the skin’s surface.
Q: Can I use it if my skin is getting drier?
A: Yes, depending on your skin. Although it’s especially good for oily and congested skin, it also works as an exfoliating cleanser as skin becomes drier with age. Start a few times a week and adjust based on how your skin responds.
Q: Can Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser be used for anti-aging?
A: Yes. Glycolic and salicylic acids exfoliate dead skin and help improve the look of roughness, dullness and uneven texture, making it useful beyond breakout care.
