Overview The Cleansing Serum is a 2-in-1 cleanser and alcohol-free toner that is ideal for acne prone, oily, and combination skin to actively wash away impurities, tighten pores, and remove makeup. This aqueous-gel formula uses natural, lightly lathering surfactants and botanical extracts that won’t strip the skin of its natural pH and protective barrier like many other cleansing and toning products on the market. This product is a translucent-violet gel infused with lightly aromatic botanicals that provide the fresh, clean overtones of lavender and chamomile and actively works to remove excess oils, keratinized surface cells, and makeup while tightening the skin to minimize pore appearance. It can be used at any time of the day or night, especially before applying other active products. Effects anti-bacterial extracts disinfect and fight acne prepares the skin for other active serums/creams botanical toners reduce pore size visibility skin pH is balanced & maintained during cleansing natural-source surfactants deep clean pores oil-free formula is perfect for acne-prone skin alpha & beta hydroxy fruit acids renew the skin contains no alcohol, harsh detergents, or sulfates Formula Mechanisms Deep Pore Cleansing This formula contains natural-source Citrate, Tartrate, and Betaine surfactants to gently deep clean pores and prevent clogging. This is a significant departure from most toning/cleansing products that use heavy amounts of alcohol or harsh detergent chemicals that can dry the skin and disrupt its pH balance. Your skin should be cleansed every day after waking up and before bed, if not more often for oily and acne-prone skin, so you need a cleanser that won’t strip the epidermis of its natural protective mantle and yet be strong enough to wash away excess oil build up. This product is the perfect solution for the job. Renewing This formula utilizes a wide variety of botanically-extracted Alpha & Beta Hydroxy Fruit Acids that renew the skin and promote continual turnover of epidermal cells, ensuring that pores don’t become clogged and that skin is perpetually refreshed with every wash. Acne Fighting – Acne forms when sebum-producing pores are overactive and become clogged. The acne bacterium then has an insulated environment to grow and feed on oil buildup, resulting in a large nodule of inflamed skin. This formula fights this process by keeping the epidermis refreshed, which prevents buildup from forming. Then as the pores are being deep cleansed the antiseptic botanical extracts of Lavender, Chamomile, and Tea Tree in this product work with the Activated Carbon to detoxify, disinfect, and destroy the acne bacterium. Pore Toning – Organic extracts of Lavender, Chamomile, Red Tea, and Wheat Amino-Peptides condition and tone the skin, giving this product pore-tightening properties to compliment the active deep cleaning. Scientific Support – For more information please see our publications on the benefits of epidermal renewal, antioxidant therapies, and anti-acne therapies that this product offers for the skin. Directions For Use To apply, pump the product once or twice onto the fingertips and rub between the hands, working up a light lather.

It is highly recommended that you cleanse the skin of your face at least twice a day to keep it clean and refreshed.
