Details & care

What it is: A water-activated powder cleanser with fresh vitamin C to purify, brighten and retexturize skin.

Who it's for: All skin types.

What it does: Ultrafine powder activates with water for an exhilarating cleansing experience that delivers visible benefits. Instantly skin is awakened and purified, with a refined texture and brighter look. The non-drying, non-stripping formula is gentle enough for use each morning, and preps skin for treatment. Pure Vitamin C naturally degrades when exposed to oxygen, so it's most powerful when fresh. The stay-fresh packaging isolates the pure vitamin C until activation, maintaining its freshness and full power for maximum results.

How to use: Use in the morning to jump-start skin's natural cellular renewal process. Pour powder into your wet hand. Add water and work into a lather. Gently massage over your skin, avoiding your eye area. Leave on for one minute to capture the potency of pure vitamin C. Rinse well.

Awesome!

Love these Vitamin C packets! I don't use them every morning as instructed, but more like when I feel like my skin needs an extra boost. When using this I let it sit on my skin for about two minutes before rinsing it off. Once I do rinse it off my skin is instantly brighter and refreshed. I'll definitely continue to use these!

Not for sensitive skin

After a few morning washes with this I started having problems with my face burning and becoming irritated. I checked out the ingredients once more and discovered that it contains salicylic acid in it. While that ingredient is fine for a spot treatment for me is was too much in an all over facial scrub.

Loving the glow!

Literally 'sunshine in a sachet' for my face! I use one sachet every morning on lightly dampened skin. It mildly cleanses and therefore would be unsuitable for evening use and removing makeup, which is probably why the instructions state to use in the morning. I massage this into my skin for about 30 seconds and rinse off. Immediately there is a noticeable glow to my skin which I love, however I'm not so keen on the powder consistency - it's so fine that when you tear open the top of the sachet and pour into your palm, some of it disperses into the air, so best to hold away from you. The first time I opened one, even though level to my waist, I could actually taste some of the powder as I inhaled. Now I just hold my breath when opening as I don't think it's all that beneficial to ingest this stuff! But nevertheless a brilliant product...non-stripping or drying in any way, on my normal/combination skin type. The Vitamin C in this gives me a lovely glow and the Salicylic acid helps with skin texture so I'm getting the best of both worlds when I use this. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

Great anti-ager, great glow!

I've been using this cleanser daily (AM) for almost 3 months now. Love it! I tend to leave it on longer, for more like 5-10min, while I'm getting ready. My skin has a new glow to it, and I love the anti-aging benefits of C. Very happy, plan to continue using it daily.

Perfect for travel

These packets of powder are perfect for travel. At first, I was a little off-put by the idea of a powder cleanser. It reminded me of the powder soap in public school bathrooms (probably Borax) from the 70's. I caved and tried it when I was on a week long trip. It was easy to use, pleasant enough, and left my skin glowing and not dried out. I follow it up with the Fresh Pressed treatment serum.

Can use like an enzyme peel

I love this vitamin c wash as almost an enzyme peel but not quite. I leave it on for five to seven minutes and it takes care of any dead skin as well makes the skin look a bit brighter.
