The Detoxifying Cleansing Gel has been carefully formulated to thoroughly cleanse skin without stripping the skin’s natural acid mantle (pH). The rinse away gel removes the dirt and impurities without leaving any residue on your skin so that it is perfectly prepared for your treatment or moisturiser. Proper cleansing ensures your skin is fresh, smooth, clean and ready for the next stage in your skincare routine. Detoxifying Cleansing Gel is a mildly lathering gel which cleanses away the day's impurities and grime, if you have oily or problem skin then this top selling product is the cleanser for you. Due to the natural ingredients and essential oils, this product has a very fresh but not overpowering smell, and so it stimulates your senses as well as your skin.

How does it work?
The 10% concentration of glycolic acid works to loosen dead skin and unblock your pores, and the cleansing gel also contains a mixture of botanicals, essential oils and minerals drawn from the salts and mud of the Dead Sea. The effects are cosmetic and therapeutic, purifying, reviving, toning, and healing. Dead Sea salts are highly therapeutic and considered to help improve a wide variety of skin conditions, whilst lemon and mandarin essential oils have natural antibacterial properties and a fresh, stimulating scent.
Alpha-hydroxy acids are naturally occurring acids, derived from the sugars of selected plants and fruits such as Sugar Cane, Grapes, Citrus Fruits, Apples and Bitter Almonds. These acids perform at the base of the stratum corneum, dissolving the ‘glue’ that holds dead skin cells together. Because this increases cell turnover, skin becomes smoother, more elastic and more even in tone and texture.

At the same time Glycolic Acid also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin and keeps it elastic and line free; when this starts to disintegrate, skin begins to sag and wrinkle. Replacing the collagen your skin has lost with age can help diminish crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines, and vertical lines around the lips.

Skincare tips
Pour a small amount of cleanser into the palm of your hand and use your finger tips to massage over the face in an upwards circular motion. Rinse with tepid water. If you wear make-up or work in an environment where your skin gets dirty or very oily then, as beauty therapists recommend, do a ‘double cleanse’ and repeat the cleansing process. We always recommend cleansing twice in the evening; no matter what product you use, one cleanse will not be enough.

When using any cleanser a toner is always advised. The toner helps refresh the skin in preparation for your moisturiser. For dry, sensitive or mature skin we recommend the Revitalising Ginseng Toner to purify the skin after cleansing, for normal to combination the Purifying Calendula Toner and for oily/problem skin the Detoxifying Eucalyptus Toner.

When using any product containing glycolic acid you must use a moisturiser with a SPF of at least 15 during the day, if you plan on sunbathing or visiting a hot climate use a minimum factor 25.

If you have sensitive skin we recommend you perform a patch test before using this product.

Please Note: If this is your first purchase of this item we highly recommend you purchase a pump top from our accessories section as it makes dispensing of the product much easier. We no longer supply pump tops as standard as the pumps are reusable which is better for the environment.
