A brightening gel-to-foam cleanser with stabilised vitamin C, niacinamide, lactic acid, salicylic acid and three essential ceramides. Corrects the look of discoloration and uneven tone in one cleansing step. Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and dermatologist developed.

ASCORBYL GLUCOSIDE (STABILISED VITAMIN C): A stable, rinse-off compatible form of vitamin C that brightens, evens skin tone and provides antioxidant protection without oxidising in the bottle.

LACTIC ACID AND SALICYLIC ACID: Gentle dual exfoliation, lactic acid resurfaces and hydrates, salicylic acid clears pores and targets post-blemish marks, both at rinse-off safe concentrations.

THREE ESSENTIAL CERAMIDES (NP, AP, EOP) AND NIACINAMIDE: Ceramides replenish the barrier during cleansing; niacinamide brightens, calms and reduces transepidermal water loss.

STABILISED VITAMIN C AND DUAL EXFOLIATION: Ascorbyl glucoside brightens and provides antioxidant protection, while lactic acid and salicylic acid gently resurface and clear pores in a single cleansing step.
THREE ESSENTIAL CERAMIDES: Ceramides NP, AP and EOP replenish the skin barrier during cleansing so skin is not left stripped or tight after use.
FRAGRANCE-FREE, NON-COMEDOGENIC: Developed with dermatologists and formulated without fragrance, parabens or pore-clogging ingredients, suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin.

1. Dispense a small amount into wet hands and lather.
2. Massage gently into the skin in circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry.
4. Use morning and/or evening, once to twice daily.
5. Keep the bottle upright when dispensing for best foam performance.
6. Follow with SPF in the morning, as vitamin C and exfoliating acids increase photosensitivity.

It will not replace a leave-on vitamin C serum for targeted brightening results. What it does is add a useful antioxidant and mild exfoliant layer at the cleansing step, which is otherwise a neutral stage in most routines. For anyone working on pigmentation or dullness and wanting every step to pull its weight, it is a practical upgrade over a standard cleanser.
Both acids are at a low concentration in a rinse-off format, meaning contact time with the skin is brief. The ceramide system in the formula also actively supports the barrier during cleansing. Most skin types including sensitive tolerate it well, though if you are already using high-concentration leave-on AHAs or BHAs, introduce this gradually to avoid over-exfoliation.
Yes. Using this cleanser alongside a leave-on vitamin C serum is a sensible combination. The cleanser adds mild exfoliation and antioxidant support at the cleansing stage; the serum delivers more concentrated brightening results that remain on the skin. They complement rather than duplicate each other.
Yes. As a rinse-off product the contact time with the skin is brief, and the salicylic and lactic acid concentrations are low. Ascorbyl glucoside, ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are all considered safe during pregnancy. If you have concerns, check with your midwife before introducing any new active product during pregnancy.
