Details & care

What it is: A cleansing foam and gentle enzymatic peel in one with a softly foaming fine-grain powder texture that intensively yet gently cleanses skin.

Who it's for: Ideal for those with darker skin tones.

What it does: The enzyme peel removes dry or rough skin and reduces excess oil on the skin. This leaves the skin more able to absorb any active ingredients subsequently applied and lends it a fresh, radiant and refined appearance. This line was born from a friendship and a shared passion for beauty. This luxury skin care range is tailored to the essential dermatological needs and characteristics of darker skin tones.

How to use: Use 2–3 times per week to supplement your daily cleansing routine. It can also be used as a daily cleanser for oily skin tones. Place the powder in the palm of your hand, add a little warm water and work up into a gentle foam. Smooth generously over your face, add water to create a lather again, then rinse off with plenty of water.

Gentle deep cleanser!

Finally bit the bullet on this after 6+ months of using the foam cleanser when I saw ur go on sale. It is excellent just like the foam cleanser. I use it every other night, I have sensitive skin and try not to irritate but this cleanser really deep cleans and my skin is glowing after. This is a new staple in my nightly skincare routine.

white patches on my face

I have used this cleaner and hyaluronic serum. Both products caused discoloration on my skin. It has a plant extract (some kind of lichen) that I am allergic to (no idea until I used these products). its been over 6 months I still have the white patches but slowly fading away.

Works for sensitive skin

I love this product. I use it on mature, dry, extremely sensitive skin. I liked it so much when I first started using it, that I used it more frequently than I should have. Now, I'm down to once every week or so. This product is gentle, but it can be drying. I don't recommend using it more than once a week during the user months, and about every 2 weeks in the colder months if you have dry skin. What I like about the product is that it removes all of those dead skin cells so that my moisturizers feel more nourishing on my skin. I have found that using it in the evening is better for me, as during the day I use a sunscreen that isn't as moisturizing as I would like. The product is a powder and once wet foams like a wash. It does not feel gritty on the skin. Be mindful not to squeeze the bottle too much or you will have more product on your hand than you want.

My favorite cleanser

This cleanser is just beyond amazing! Just like the foaming cleanser, it does the job gently but effectively. The vitamin c and enzymes makes the skin brighter and fresher.The instruction says to use a few times a week but I consulted with a Dr. Sturm rep, it is good for daily used preferably in AM followed by the hyaluronic serum and glow drops.

Great product!!

I appreciate the enzyme face cleanser because it give a gentle exfoliation affect. I use it three times a week - my skin texture is smoother and I feel like I get a deep clean when used as directed!
