About The Product

Formulated for oily and combination skin, or anyone concerned with pores and blemishes, this dual-action, sulfate-free creamy cleanser gently exfoliates and purifies with glycolic, salicylic, and lactic acids. Packed with potent actives, it removes daily impurities and deeply cleanses, helping to keep your pores clear and your skin balanced.

Available in two options: a refreshing cold-pressed mandarin essential oil scent or purely unfragranced. Choose what feels right for you.

4% Glycolic Acid (an AHA)
Exfoliates the skin by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells to encourage cell turnover and reveal a smoother and more luminous complexion.

2% Salicylic Acid (a BHA)
Helps unclog pores and loosen dead skin cells to leave skin looking clearer, smoother, and brighter. BHAs can help to regulate sebum production and target blemish-causing bacteria.

Cold Pressed Apricot Kernel Oil
Rich in essential fatty acids which helps retains skin's elasticity and suppleness.

Ingredients list (fragranced version):
Aqua, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycolic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Cocamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Salicylic Acid, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin) Peel Oil, Sodium Lactate, Lactic Acid, Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Limonene, Linalool.

Because our formulations are periodically updated as part of our commitment to innovation, the ingredient list shown may vary from the box of the product depending on time and region of purchase.

Perfect as your wake-up cleanse in the morning, or as a second cleanse after after makeup removal in the evening.

Apply a small amount of cleanser onto a damp face and massage in circles. Rinse off. May be used daily, morning and evening.

Are there any precautions I need to know before using this product?
This product contains alpha (AHA) and beta hydroxy acids (BHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Use SPF, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

For external use only. Always patch test prior to use and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid eye area. If direct contact with eyes occurs, rinse thoroughly. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dark place.

What is the pH?

Isn't the combination of AHA and BHA too strong for the skin?
AHAs and BHAs work in different ways on the skin and can be safely used together in this cleanser.

Can I use this during pregnancy and/or while breastfeeding?
This product is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, it is always best to consult your doctor or healthcare professional before use.

ClariCleanse AHA & BHA Exfoliating Cleanser Unscented / 150ml
Good for blemished and oily skin. Not the best scent so may try the scented version, but definitely leaves skin feeling like it has been cleansed thoroughly but gently.

Switched to this after years of using a glycolic financing cleanser from another brand. I struggled to find the balance between treating acne and keeping my face moisturised. My face kept breaking out in untreatable dry skin. After 3/4 weeks of using this (with a mixture of other face theory products) my skin is the best and clearest it’s been in ages.

I have been using this product for a few weeks now. My skin feels nice after washing with it, but so far has not helped little white spots that I have been getting, which apparently is sebaceous hyperplasia!! It is early days so will carry on with it.

ClariCleanse AHA & BHA Exfoliating Cleanser Mandarin / 150ml
I love this product but please please please bring back the old glass packaging as an option 😭 There is so much waste with this new cleanser packaging because the tube continues to squeeze it out of its own accord, and it’s supposed to stand by itself but mine is constantly falling over. Also the metal lid is heavy so easily slips out of your fingers and I’m constantly having to sterilise it. I understand that a lot of thought went into making these new tubes but they simply aren’t user friendly. The glass packaging was recyclable with no product waste, and easy to use. It would be amazing to have the option of glass at least because the new tubes have turned it into a much worse product and it makes me not want to repurchase.
