Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

Description

pHformula EXFO Cleanse is a mild exfoliating cleanser that helps to effectively remove makeup and impurities leaving the skin clean and hydrated. It contains specific actives which assist in loosening rough keratinized cells helping to speed up cell renewal and giving the skin a healthy glow. Suitable for all Skin Types.

Key ingredients include Lactobionic Acid is a gentle Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA) that is non-irritating, and deeply moisturising due to its water-binding properties. Urea is a skin conditioning agent and humectant. Papain Enzyme helps to degrade the corneodesmosomal linkages between damaged or dead cells. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. No lanolin or mineral oil.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: pHformula EXFO Cleanse is a creamy everyday cleanser, with gentle exfoliating properties, that can be used as part of your daily skincare regimen. It can be left on the skin as a mask for ten minutes and rinsed off. It is gentle enough to use after skin resurfacing treatments and it will protect the integrity of the skin barrier function and prep the skin for other products in the pH range.

    I didn’t love this cleanser, it didn’t feel like it was cleaning my skin enough and I ended up with more breakouts while I was using it.

    My face feels incredible after using this product. I have very sensitive skin and I can’t use other exfoliators. I can’t recommend it enough.

    I have tried so many cleansers and none of them leaves my skin as clear and moisturised as this. It is my go-to item for skincare.

    One of the best cleansers I have ever used — it has been a part of my regime for over 5 years. My absolute go-to!

    The Exfo cleanser changed my skin life! I cannot go without it. I always buy the 200ml as it’s more value for money and it lasts so long. Thanks to Dermastore for the quick delivery, I placed an order yesterday and received it today.
    Cannot wait to try out the Vit A mask 🙂

    I love that this EXFO cleanser is light and gentle, while still being effective, and leaves your face feeling both clean and refreshed! Perfectly soft enough for a morning cleanse and yet strong enough for the end of the day. I also use it in conjunction with pHformula products, as well as others.

    This was my first time trying a pHformula product. Love love love this cleanser! It’s so gentle and kind for my sensitive skin. Most cleansers that I’ve tried leaves my skin feeling “tight” and dry, but EXFO leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft and hydrated. Love that I can also use it as a mask. Thank you to Lara for recommending this amazing product!

    Absolutely love this gentle cleanser – the texture is so soft and creamy. Love it’s multi use – 1 application or double cleanse or leave on as a mask (“,) I have extremely sensitive skin and I am really enjoying this product
