Shereene Idriss explains active cleansers: products with higher percentages of salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or sulfur. They need time on skin to work, and you shouldn't use two in the same night. Space them across the week instead.

Questions this video answers

Salicylic acid; benzoyl peroxide; glycolic acid; sulfur.

Do not mix two active cleansers in the same routine/night; instead spread them out over the course of a week.
