How To Use

The Step 1: CLEAR & REFRESH Facial Cleanser is activated by water to remove makeup and impurities from the skin. (75ml e 2.536 US Fl.Oz.)

Our cleanser is water-activated and doesn't disrupt the skin's natural oils while effectively cleansing.

To maximize its benefits:

  1. Apply 5-6 pumps on damp skin.
  2. Use our konjac facial sponge or a soft wet washcloth to gently massage skin and activate the cleansing action.
  3. Rinse with warm water.

Tip: Repeat these steps to remove missed makeup and impurities and allow for a more thorough cleanse.

For best results use morning and evening.

Note: After cleansing, your skin will feel hydrated. While you may be used to a squeaky clean feel after using foamy cleansers, they’ve likely been stripping your skin. Follow the tips above and watch our cleanser do its magic.


“Best cleanser ever!

This is the best cleanser ever. It cleans my skin without drying it out. It also lasts a long time. I love knowing I am not putting chemicals on my face.”

See above response.

Too expensive. I’ve tried the full line and find only the cleanser worth the price. There are other clean, high quality serums and creams on the market that meet my expectations at 1/2 the cost of your line. The cleanser is another story. I haven’t found a cleanser that is clean and works as well as yours without stripping my face. I’ll continue to buy your facial cleanser until I can find a cheaper, equally as effective alternative. I value quality + I can’t afford to pay $100+ per month for facial care.

I recommend this product

Clogs pores and horrible customer service

Products clogged my pores horribly. Be very careful of a subscription with this company. I have tried to cancel on multiple occasions and was still charged. I have shown proof of my emails trying to cancel and they still will not refund additional charges.

It leaves a creamy feeling on my skin, not sure of that is after it cleans and so it moisturizes.
