  • Good for: Oily skin & large pores

Details & care

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

What it does: This cleanser is formulated with vitamin C and enzymes. It removes dry or rough skin and reduces excess oil, leaving skin more able to absorb any active ingredients, and lends a fresh, radiant and refined appearance to your skin.

How to use: Use 2–3 times per week to supplement your regular daily cleansing routine. It can be used as a daily cleanser for oily skin. 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 and create a lather again. Then, rinse off with plenty of water.

Brighter, Healthy Skin

FINALLY a product that works. I've been on the hunt to find something to help get rid of all these small bumps on my cheeks, chin/jawline and nothing was working (I'm talking dozens of products (high/low/medical grade). This product is heaven sent. I have more combo/oily skin and use this at night as a second cleanse (some times every night, sometimes I skip a day, depends on my skin). In about 1.5 weeks, it cleared up my skin. No more congestion. It's been well maintained too meaning it hasn't come back. It's not harsh, it's effective, and to my surprise it's made my skin brighter and has a nice healthy glow to it. A bit pricey but totally worth it.

TALC AS SECOND INGREDIENT IS NOT CLEAN SKINCARE

A clean skincare line should not have talc listed as second ingredient.. this is a huge disappointment as talc has known carcinogens and has been a huge no no in clean skincare and makeup Dr. Barbara Strums website says that she does not use toxic or harmful ingredients and for many of her products this is true.. except this cleanser. check out Tata harper skincare or omorovicza , both amazing skin care lines that offer cleaner healthier cleansing systems

enzyme cleanser

this cleanser is literally my holy grail for large pores and blackheads. my skin is very oily in my t zone and my cheeks and i saw smaller pores and my blackheads disappearing in a week! i use it twice a day even though it says to use less than that. if u have large pores or blackheads i highly suggest this!

Lovely exfoliant

This works really well asan exfloiant, i use it very rarely because i feel it can be harsh on the skin and my skin barrier but use it as a monthly peel. while using it so little, the bottle has lasted me almost 3 years and counting. whenever i need my skin to be refreshed, i will use it and then use a calming mask afterwards

Amazing

I was struggling with cystic acne for years — I finally switched to cleanser, hyaluronic serum, face cream & enzyme cleanser 1x per week after hearing Dr. Sturm speak about this protocol on Emma Grede’s podcast, within 1 month my acne is almost entirely gone & new breakouts, if any at all, are so minor. Thank you so much for creating such amazing products, I will be a customer for life!!! 🤍🤍
