Clean, soft skin that never feels tight.

You want a cleanser that takes off makeup, sunscreen and the day's buildup and leaves pores looking clear, without leaving your face tight afterward.

Cleansing Complex is a clear, lightweight gel that cleanses thoroughly without overdrying, visibly refines pores and leaves skin smooth and soft. Botanical exfoliants from sugarcane and white willow bark lift away surface buildup as you wash, while centella, chamomile and green tea add antioxidant comfort. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Who It Is For

Every skin type, including sensitive skin, and anyone who wants clearer looking pores from their daily cleanse.

Acne Safe

What You Will See, and When

Skin feels clean and soft from the first wash. No timeline is published; with twice daily use, expect smoother texture and more refined looking pores over the first few weeks.

How to Use

Morning and night. Wet your hands, work a small amount into a foam and massage it over face and neck for about a minute, a little longer over makeup and sunscreen. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry before the rest of your routine. If you double cleanse, use it as your second cleanse.

The Science

Hydroxy acids loosen the bonds that hold dead cells to the skin's surface, so they rinse away more easily and skin looks smoother. Alpha hydroxy acids work on the surface; beta hydroxy acids are oil soluble, so they reach into pores. This formula draws its alpha hydroxy acids from sugarcane and its beta hydroxy acids from white willow bark.

The cleansing base is balanced with glycerin and phospholipids, and the triterpenes of centella asiatica add antioxidant support.

Questions

Does it remove makeup?Yes. Massage it in a little longer over makeup and sunscreen, then rinse well.
Can I use it twice a day?Yes. It is made for morning and night use.
Can I shave with it?Yes. The brand recommends it as a shaving gel alternative.

Why a Routine Made for You Works Better

General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.

Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.

Where that point sits depends on:

  • Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
  • Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
  • Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
  • Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
  • Your goals: what you most want to change
  • Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
  • Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
  • Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned

A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
