Details & care

What it is: A daily face wash that stimulates skin's natural cell renewal cycle to smooth and refine while sloughing away dead skin cells.

Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types.

What it does: Revolutionary patent-pending Tri-Enzyme technology acts as the catalyst in the innovative formula for safe, effective resurfacing within upper layers of the skin. Galactoarabinan, a polysaccharide from the Larch tree, enhances the nonabrasive exfoliation process while Brazilian babassu oil, rich in fatty acids, replenishes moisture levels in the epidermis. Finally, the powerful antioxidant properties of moringa help protect the skin from environmental damage while white truffle helps soothe and support the natural microflora of the skin. Your skin appears smooth and radiant and a newly cleansed complexion is revealed.

How to use: Use morning and evening, avoiding the eye area.

Observable change in skin

I got hooked on elemis products on a Holland America cruise. I decided to try the skincare after loving the haircare products so much. This is the best cleanser I have ever used and I am over 50. I have very oily skin and this really makes my face feel clean. Takes off makeup with such ease and a tiny amount is all that is needed for a thorough cleansing. Use with my Clarisonic once a day--someone who had not seen me in a year asked if I had "work" done. Pores are smaller, skin feels so great. I highly recommend this product and I will be trying more products in this line.

Made me Itch

I purchased the travel size to give it a try after my other enzyme cleanser ran out. I used it for the first time and at first I thought it had a nice smell and nice texture. Immediately after use I had these weird red splotches on my face that I don't usually get. Then through out the day my face gradually started to itch, and just kept getting worse and worse. I will not use this again.

Helpful with my rosacea!

My skin is usually hyper-sensitive to products with 'active' ingredients. As a result, aestheticians had not recommended this product for me. Given that I have such a challenge trying to exfoliate without aggravating my rosacea, I tried it anyway out of desperation (along with the Tri-Enzyme night cream). Amazingly, this product does an amazing job of exfoliating without irritating my face. I have waited YEARS to find such a product. In addition, it smells incredible!

Noticeable Results, Instant Gratification!

I have been using this product for about a year, but only started using it with my Clarisonic. In just a couple of weeks, my skin looks absolutely amazing. In fact it looks so good I no longer have to use foundation. I use it only every couple of days (because it is somewhat pricey) but my skin now has a healthy glow every day. If you are looking for the maximum results in very little time, get yourself this cleanser and a Clarisonic and you will never regret it!

As good as it gets!

I was contemplating over Elemis or La Mer's gel wash and I'm so glad I chose this. For almost half the price of La Mer, it gave me the softest skin within the first use. I paired it with my Shiseido facial brush and the combination is doing wonders for my skin. My skin is super soft with little to no dry patches in sight and the scent is mild and lovely. Will repurchase!

ElEMIS facial wash

I love the Tri-enzyme resurfacing facial wash, I have been useing the facial wash religiously for a year now and I can see a big diffrence in the appearance of my skin. My skin used to be dull and had texture. Since I started using the Tri-enzyme resurfacing facial wash my skin is brigter I have noticably less texture and my skin looks great over all.

Pretty Good

I have been using this cleanser for about 4 months now. I like it a lot. I am 24 and have pretty bad adult acne. I am also a licensed cosmetologist, so I have tried about every product known to man being in the beauty industry. This cleanser has helped clear my skin quite a bit. I still have a little acne(made worse due to picking, a bad habit I know :/) but my skin is definitely more clear and radiant. I use the cleanser every day, but every other day with my clairsonic mia in the morning, then i follow with the soothing toner and my doctor prescribed acne cream, then the Maximum moisture day or night cream. It's the only skin ritual that I love now. I highly recommend it it other young adults who maybe have adult acne but are also looking or a good anti aging cleanser to keep looking fresh. It's never to early to start with anti aging.

Nice texture, gentle face wash - bit perfumey

I ordered this product based on top star reviews. I have used it for a little over two weeks and here's my take on it so far... 1. The bad - I don't care for the perfumey scent (smells a little too much like flowers). I prefer a clean, subtle, fresh scent. 2. The good (I think) - I use it primarily in the morning as I don't require a lot of cleansing in the morning. The texture is silky and a combination of mild foam and gel. It is definitely gentle enough for my sensitive skin, but with the light lather I like in a facial wash. 3. I believe it has a good balance of cleanser and moisturizer as my dry skin dow not feel dry or stripped after use. 4. The verdict is still out for at least another month. Based on the reviews, I suspect that I will not be disappointed. Too bad it doesn't smell cleaner and less floral.

Great for the face!

I have used other products, but returned to Elemis Tri-Enzyme Facial Wash. It cleanses and keeps the skin soft, but firms the skin. The bottle lasts a long time, too, so it is affordable.

Awesome cleanser

A cleanser that is gentle yet cleans really well as it gently exfoliates and replaces moisture with natural oils. Like it so much that I will replace my current serum and eye cream and face cream with Elemis products.

Love this line

Been using this cleanser and other tri enzyme products for over a year, fixed my dull tired skin and removed a lot of my sun discoloration. Highly recommend.
