Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

Clarifying Cleanser is a game-changing, water-activated enzyme powder designed for oily, combination, or blemish-prone skin. Just a sprinkle of this ultra-fine powder cleanser transforms into a soft foam when water is added, deeply cleansing without stripping your skin.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

This powder-to-foam cleanser targets the root causes of congestion and dullness. Formulated with encapsulated plant-based enzymes like lipase (to break down excess oil) and protease (to gently lift dead skin cells), working together to tackle breakouts and congestion at the source, while gently resurfacing and refining your skin's texture.

With hyaluronic acid for hydration and blue spirulina for antioxidant protection and pore refinement, it leaves your complexion feeling soft, clarified, and visibly more balanced.

Pair it with Smoothing Cleanser for the ultimate double cleanse, or use it solo for a quick, effective refresh.

Better still, Clarifying Cleanser is available as part of our money-saving Essential Collection. Buy today and save £22.

Clinical Results

In a 28-day independent clinical study, testers' skin showed an average 81% reduction in excess sebum after one use.

How To Use

Shake half to a full teaspoon of the cleansing powder into your palm and mix with a few drops of water to activate.

Spread between your hands to create a creamy lather, before massaging into your face using circular motions, carefully avoiding the delicate eye area.

Rinse to remove any excess and splash with a little cold water afterwards for ultimate refreshment.

Use once or twice daily, either on its own or as a second cleanse following Smoothing Cleanser. As it's not designed to remove makeup, we recommend avoiding use around the delicate eye area, so remove eye makeup first.

Before use, remove the inner stopper by unscrewing the top of the bottle. Store in a cool, dry place in an upright position.

Ingredients

Plant Enzymes

Using two different varieties of encapsulated plant enzymes, meet the all-natural dream team. The first group of enzymes – lipase enzymes – break down the fat-based impurities hiding in your pores like sebum and oil, and the second set – protease enzymes – go after the protein-based debris such as dead skin cells. Working together, you couldn’t get a better skin-clearing double act.

Blue Spirulina

Any algae is a wonder ingredient as it boosts the skin’s resilience and rejuvenation. Blue spirulina in particular is great for prompting cell turnover helping to get rid of visible pores and dullness.

Rice Powder

Environmentally friendly, rice powder is a go-to in the East for creating a smooth, silky finish on the skin. When mixed with water it creates a starchy residue that absorbs excess sebum and leaves skin soft to the touch.

Can I use Clarifying Cleanser around my eyes or to remove makeup?

Clarifying Cleanser is designed to deeply cleanse and refine skin, not specifically to remove makeup. For best results, we recommend using it as your second cleanse after removing makeup with a gentle oil or cream cleanser like our Smoothing Cleanser. Due to the exfoliating enzymes in the formula, avoid using it directly around the delicate eye area, as the skin there is thinner and more sensitive.

Does the Clarifying Cleanser exfoliate?

Yes - gently. It uses enzyme exfoliation (unlike a physical scrub), which helps break down dead skin without causing micro-tears or irritation.

Is Clarifying Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

While it’s gentle, this formula is designed for oily or blemish-prone skin. If your skin is very sensitive, start with a patch test or use just once daily alongside a more hydrating cleanser.

Can I use this with other active ingredients?

Yes, Clarifying Cleanser can be used alongside other actives, but it’s best to introduce it gradually if you're already using strong ingredients like retinoids, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or other AHAs/BHAs. While the formula is gentle and non-stripping, the enzyme exfoliation it provides may enhance the effects of other actives. To avoid overstimulation or irritation, start with once-daily use and monitor how your skin responds.

Is Clarifying Cleanser suitable for teenage skin?

Yes! In fact, Clarifying Cleanser is a great choice for teens experiencing breakouts, blackheads, or oily skin. It’s powered by gentle plant enzymes that help unclog pores and smooth texture without drying or stripping the skin. It’s also fragrance-free and pH-balanced, making it suitable for young complexions. Start with once-daily use and build up slowly for best results.

Can I use it with a cleansing brush or cloth?

You can use it with your fingers or a soft facial cloth, such as our Bamboo Face Cloth. A brush isn’t necessary, as the enzymes do the exfoliating for you.
