BEST FOR SKIN TYPE
Oily or resilient skin types only. Not recommended for dry, sensitive, or acneic skin with barrier impairment.
PROS
• Sulfate free surfactant blend that’s generally mild and pH-balanced
• Includes Glycerin for light hydration and skin comfort
• Budget-friendly and simple formulation
• Contains clean preservative (Potassium Sorbate)
CONS
• Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach) can disrupt the skin microbiome and irritate the barrier
• Not suitable for sensitive, dry, or inflamed skin
• Disodium EDTA increases permeability and may enhance irritation
• Overly antibacterial approach contradicts Functional Beauty’s microbiome-respecting principles
FINAL VERDICT
The Stryke Club Acne Face Wash takes a clinical approach to acne by incorporating bleach, a choice that undermines the very foundation of barrier health. While its mild surfactant base and humectants would otherwise make for a respectable cleanser, the presence of sodium hypochlorite transforms this into a harsh, microbiome-disruptive formula that is not compatible with long-term Functional Beauty use.

STAR RATING
QUICK VERDICT:
A straightforward, effective acne cleanser that deeply cleans but relies on sodium hypochlorite, which may be overly harsh for long-term use.
