    Need to Know

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does this cleanser exfoliate?
    It combines naturally derived alpha-hydroxy acids and a beta-hydroxy acid for chemical exfoliation with gentle jojoba spheres for physical smoothing. Together they help refine texture, tone, and radiance.
    How often should I use it?
    It can be used once or twice daily as tolerated, but if your skin is sensitive, start with once a day and build up gradually. Listen to your skin and scale back if it feels irritated.
    How do I apply it?
    Moisten your skin with warm water, work a small amount between your fingertips with a little water, and massage over the face in small circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, and keep it out of your eyes.
    Are the jojoba spheres harsh?
    No, the round jojoba spheres are soft and designed to buff away dead skin with minimal irritation. They offer a gentler physical exfoliation than gritty scrubs.
    Do I need sunscreen while using it?
    Yes. Because it contains alpha-hydroxy acids, your skin can be more sun-sensitive, so daily sunscreen is important while using it and for about a week after you stop.
    Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
    It's designed to be gentle and works for all skin types, but sensitive skin should ease in slowly. Patch testing and starting with once-daily use can help you gauge tolerance.

    The best exfoliate! It’s a must have. Highly recommend!

    Jennifer T.

    Great product Why would the change the packaging to a screw on top makes it so inconvenient to use now. So disappointed

    Patricia T.

    Love the product and have used for years but new packaging is a fail. Screw top is hard to manage in the shower and product leaks out. Please change it back.

    Anthony V.

    This is a gentle exfoliating cleanser, you only need a little which goes a long way.

    Linda J.

    The packaging has changed and it is much more difficult to use without the flip top.
