If your cleanser isn’t transforming your skin, it’s just expensive soap.
Say hello to the cleanser that’s about to make every other bottle under your sink question its existence. The Advanced Exfoliating Cleanser doesn’t just clean — it changes the game. It removes junk, resurfaces dull skin, clears congestion, fades pigmentation, smooths texture, and leaves you glowing like you just got a peel (without the downtime).
This is the formula that replaces 7 graveyard cleansers in one ruthless move.
Why It Works (a.k.a. Why Your Old Cleanser Is Shaking)
This pro-grade foaming gel cleanser is loaded with 12% Glycolic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, and Lactic Acid — a cocktail designed to gently peel, polish, and purge your skin back to life. It exfoliates, brightens, lifts, clears, calms, and corrects in one single step.
No fluff. Just results.
👤 Who It's For
✔️ Oily, combo, and breakout-prone skin
✔️ Dark spots, texture, and visible pores
✔️ Those already using acids or peels
❌ Not for the sensitive or exfoliation newbies (start with Gentle Glow)
🧴 How to Use
1. Use 2–3 pumps on dry skin — no water yet.
2. Massage in circular motions for 30–60 seconds (thicker skin? Go longer).
3. Rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with your exfoliant, serum, or barrier-repair treatment.
Pro Tip: Start every other day, especially if you’ve been over-exfoliating or if your barrier’s still healing from other trauma.

❓ FAQ
Q: Can I use this every day?
A: If your skin can tolerate it, yes. Most use it once a day or every other day for best results.
Q: Will it strip or dry out my skin?
A: Nope — not if you follow with a good hydrator (like our Peptide Repair Cream or Elixir). Overuse can cause dryness, so start slow.
Q: Can I use this if I use retinoids or acids?
A: Yes, but alternate them. Don’t throw a rave on your face all in one night. Be smart. Be gentle.
