Hero Ingredients

AHA & BHA – Gentle Glow Meets Pore-Deep Cleanse. Glycolic and lactic acids softly remove dead surface cells and support skin renewal for a fresh, even complexion. At the same time, salicylic acid works deeper to clear clogged pores, help prevent breakouts, and improve skin texture. The result: noticeably smoother, clearer skin, even from the very first use and while traveling.

Make sure to wash your hands and remove make-up if applied.

2. Apply smoothing cleanser:
Apply lukewarm water on your face and then 1 to 2 pumps of the Smoothing Cleanser. Spread evenly across the face avoiding your upper eyelids and lips. Let rest for 1-2 minutes while brushing your teeth.

3. Wash off the foam:
Wash the foam off your face with lukewarm water and pat dry using a clean face towel.

It was shown that a gel with salicylic acid reduced sebum production and inflammation in mild to moderate acne, while also supporting the skin barrier.

Can I use the Smoothing Cleanser when I use Retinol?

Yes, it's safe to use the Smoothing Cleanser while using Retinol. The Smoothing Cleanser is the first step of your routine to cleanse the face, while Retinol is considered a TREAT step product to be applied in second stage.

Is the Smoothing Cleanser safe to use during pregnancy?

We generally advise our clients not to use any products containing active ingredients during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Since the Smoothing Cleanser contains active ingredients such as AHA and BHA, it is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Always consult your medical professional if you have any further questions.

Why does my skin suddenly break out after using the Smoothing Cleanser?

It's quite common to experience this phenomenon, so there's no need to be alarmed. When you begin your skincare journey with our Smoothing Cleanser, your skin will be exposed to active ingredients that stimulate skin cell turnover. It can happen that you experience a temporary breakout, as skin cell turnover accelerates and impurities come to the surface. Typically, after about two weeks (varying from person to person), these initial breakouts should subside, and you'll begin to notice positive changes in your skin's appearance.

Does the Smoothing Cleanser also remove makeup?

While the Smoothing Cleanser effectively cleanses your skin, it is important to note that it is not intended to replace a makeup remover. If you've been wearing makeup throughout the day, it's essential to use a dedicated makeup remover before you begin with your skincare routine and apply our Smoothing Cleanser. This ensures thorough removal of makeup residue and other impurities, allowing your skin to be completely free from any dirt or buildup.
