Kiehl's Since 1851

SOLD OUT

Details & care

What it is: A two-in-one facial wash deeply cleanses while exfoliating to remove excess dirt and oil for a refreshed, younger-looking appearance.

Who it's for: Formulated with Moroccan lava clay, this cleanser can also be used as a five-minute mask, where the formula will break down the toughest layers of dead skin cells to smooth the appearance of fine fine lines and improve overall texture.

How to use: As a daily cleanser, dampen your face and hands with warm water. Wet your face, work into a lather and massage onto skin with circular motions. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. If using as a mask, apply a visible layer to clean skin and allow the mask to dry for five minutes. Rinse with warm water and massage into skin in a gentle, circular motion, allowing particles to exfoliate skin. Pat dry with a towel. It's recommended for use three times a week.

  • Paraben-free; soap-free; sulfate-free

Two products in one? Never trust it
This is the worst exfoliator. Ever! To describe how horrendous this product is, I'll use a massage analogy. It's a like a Swedish massage vs a deep tissue massage. The Swedish massage after it's done I'm asking myself "why bother. Did I actually get a massage". But a deep tissue massage - you know you got a massage. This product is the Swedish massage of exfoliators. Did I actually exfoliate my skin? And never ever trust products that claim they are two in one. Like the shampoo/conditioner products. A shampoo does one thing, a conditioner does something completely different. Just like an exfoliator does one thing and a masque does something different. What's next. A seven in one product - this one product contains seven different products. It's a shampoo, a conditioner, an exfoliator a masque, a body wash, it's car oil and an antifreeze all in one.

BY FAR THE BEST CLAY CLEANSER!
BRING THIS PRODUCT BACK, PLEASEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kiehls.com response
Hi there! We are sorry to tell you that Age Defender Dual-Action Exfoliating Cleanser was discontinued. As consumers ourselves, we understand how disappointing it can be when an old favorite is no longer available. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. Meanwhile, our creative teams are hard at work coming up with new and exciting products. We think the Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash will be a great alternative. Our refreshing face wash for men effectively removes debris, dirt and oil with a non-drying cleanse. With Caffeine, Menthol and Vitamin E, this men’s facial cleanser is an energizing way to start or end the day. We hope you give this a try!
