Combination/Oily Skincare Showdown: Lytic Gel vs Willow Bark Cleansers Compared… Test Results Shocking! We had high hopes for the Epionce Lytic Gel Cleanser, promising to tackle combination to oily and problem skin with willow bark and menthol. Upon testing, we found its formula lived up to its dermatologist-recommended claim. The gel’s gentle yet effective lather removed our makeup effortlessly, revealing a clearer complexion without stripping. Unlike harsher cleansers, ours experienced no tightness post-wash, though the willow bark infusion did deliver a subtle tingle. For those dealing with oily or acne-prone skin, our results were surprisingly satisfying—less shine and fewer breakouts. The menthol added a refreshing touch without irritation. It’s not a miraculous solution, but if you seek a balanced clean, Epionce’s Lytic Gel offers a promising compromise. We were genuinely impressed by its thoughtful design.
