28th August 2025: Deconstruct, the science-backed skincare brand known for its “Highly Effective, Yet Gentle” philosophy, has launched a new solution for oily and acne-prone skin. The Deconstruct Oil Control Face Wash with 2% Salicylic Acid directly tackles one of the most frustrating skincare concerns: formulas that over-cleanse and leave skin feeling dry, tight, and irritated.
Unlike most salicylic acid face washes that compromise hydration in the name of acne control, Deconstruct’s new formula offers a refreshing alternative. It pairs high-performance actives with hydrating, barrier-supporting ingredients to create a cleanser that is both deeply effective and surprisingly gentle, making it ideal for daily use, even for beginners.
the product is now available on Deconstruct’s official website, along with leading platforms like Nykaa, Amazon & Flipkart, as well as major quick commerce apps including Zepto and Swiggy Instamart.
Speaking on the launch, Malini Adapureddy, Founder & CEO of Deconstruct, said, “We heard from so many people who gave up on salicylic acid because of the dryness and flaking. With this formula, we wanted to show that you don’t have to choose between results and comfort. It’s possible to have both. This launch is closely tied to our mission of simplifying actives for everyday users. We’ve created a cleanser that is truly effective yet gentle, something that feels safe and high performing, whether you’re trying salicylic acid for the first time or exploring skincare as a man or a consumer outside the metros.”
