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. Paraben-free. No added colour. 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 love this cleanser. One of the online consultants recommended it, and I couldn’t be more thankful. I have sensitive skin and didn’t realise my skincare routine was too harsh for my skin. I threw out what I was using and switched to this cleanser. It has transformed my skin from tight and grey to smooth, supple and glowing. I highly recommend it.

    Totally not what i expected, but in the best way possible. Its creamy texture left my skin feeling throughly cleansed without stripping it. Its a big yes from me. Small amount needed for whole face and neck. Yay!

    I have been using this cleanser for only a couple of days and I love it! It doesn’t foam but you can really feel and see the difference in skin texture after just one use. This cleanser together with the phFormula AGE active and POST recovery cream is a dream trio. I really love that it is suck a simple regimen but super effective.

    Really love this cleanser. It has a light creamy texture that is lovely to use and leaves the skin feeling fresh and soft afterwards but not at all dry. Really enjoy using this product and will definitely repurchase.

    I have used quite a number of cleansers over the years and this one is by the far the most satisfying. It cleanses the skin properly, where you feel the product removing all dirt and makeup but at the same time, does not dry the skin out. The texture is heavenly and feels like you are applying a smooth lotion on your skin. Non-drying and does the job. Will definitely repurchase!

    This really is an amazing cleanser…skin feels clean, refreshed AND soft! Very effective, yet gentle. I agree with Dr Webster that cleansing is the most important part of your skincare routine…and therefore it should be vital to choose a good cleanser…and this one is most definitely one of them!

    Really great cleanser.
    I like foaming cleansers but this one acts as an exfoliator as well and doesnt dry my skin.
    Quite an interesting product.
