Description

Exfoliate while you cleanse.

This cleanser uses alpha and beta hydroxy acids to smooth and refine as it washes. Instead of scrubbing, the acids gently dissolve dull, pore-clogging buildup, so over time skin looks clearer, feels softer, and reflects more light.

Why it is worth it
It does two jobs in one step, cleansing and chemical exfoliation, which simplifies a routine and keeps congestion in check without a separate scrub. A pump or two is all you need.

How it compares
For a simple, non-exfoliating wash, the Facial Cleanser is gentler for daily use. For leave-on resurfacing, the AHA/BHA Cream goes further. This cleanser is the easy middle ground for oily and congested skin.

Best for: normal to oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin.
Not ideal for: very dry or sensitive skin, or use around the eyes.

How to use
Massage onto damp skin, avoiding the eyes, then rinse. Start once daily and wear sunscreen, since acids increase sun sensitivity.

Directions

1. Apply as the first product used in your morning and evening skin care routine, as tolerated.

2. Moisten skin with warm water. Apply a small amount to the fingertips, add a little water and gently exfoliate and cleanse the face using small circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use as often as needed.
