Shop Cleansers

During Dr Katherine Armour’s 15 years as a clinical dermatologist, she noticed that many of her patients were struggling to find cleansers that weren’t too harsh, resulting in damage to their skin barrier.

Cleansing facilitates the removal of dirt, oil, and other unwanted debris. Throughout the day the skin on your face is continually covered with bacteria, pollutants, dirt, and old (dead) skin cells. It’s crucial to remove make-up and sunscreen at the end of the day to avoid clogging pores. It’s also important to remove pollutants that you may have encountered. Environmental pollutants can contribute to skin ageing through activation of inflammatory pathways and enzymes that degrade our skin–plumping fibres.

Some benefits of cleansing you may not know: 

  • It is the best way to prep your skin for other skincare products. Congested pores can not only cause breakouts but also prevent the absorption of other skincare products, cleansing daily will help to ensure that the active ingredients in your serums and creams can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin.
  • Removes environmental pollution 
  • Can help to regulate oil production and keep skin clear and radiant. 
  • Helps manage pH levels of the skin; enabling sufficient water and product retention which boosts hydration.

Frequently asked questions

So many of us focus on the skincare products we apply after washing our face without realising that cleansing is not only the first, but perhaps one of the most important skincare steps. Your cleanser is responsible for clearing away environmental pollution, SPF and makeup that accumulate on our skin throughout the day, and without proper cleansing, you’re getting your skincare routine off on the wrong foot. 

For more information you can read our blog on Why Double Cleansing is Worth the Hype.

First, with an oil or balm such as our Replenish Cleansing Butter and again with a water-based cleanser such as Radiance Reset Anti Pollution Cleanser. This ensures a deep clean (without stripping the skin) and helps to prevent skin aging and breakouts. 

Yes, you can. 

No, both our cleansers (Replenish & Radiance Reset) have been specifically formulated to ensure they don’t leave a residue on your skin. This means that you get that clean, fresh feeling without tightness or irritation. 

Both our cleansers have been specifically formulated for sensitive skin. However, if you’re experiencing any active irritation then we would recommend using Replenish Cleansing Butter as this has a lot of soothing ingredients such as Green Tea, Lycopene & Resveratrol.
