If you've ever tried to treat stubborn congestion or breakouts, I have no doubt you'll be familiar with all the acne-fighting ingredients on the market - including the ones that leave your skin flaky, dry and feeling awfully uncomfortable.
Turns out, a lot acne sufferers out there are turning to drying out their blemishes, instead of nurturing their skin with the right ingredients. I get it, skincare is pretty complex - but so is your skin's barrier. By stripping all moisture from the skin, this barrier can become impaired, which impacts the healthy function of the skin.
This often leads to irritation, dryness, flakiness and potentially an increase in breakouts (a cycle which you may be all too familiar with). But
Cosmedix Clarify Foaming Cleanser is a congestion-clearing product with a difference - I promise.

What's In It?
I'm glad you asked - this cleanser features quite a few hero ingredients, accompanied by a huge amount of nourishing botanical extracts (like Cucumber, Apple and Jasmine Flower Extract) all wrapped up in a high-performing cosmeceutical product.
Salicylic Acid (BHA): an ingredient that's known for its blemish-busting properties, the oil soluble nature of this ingredient means it reaches deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and eliminate breakouts before they begin.
Aloe Vera & Panthenol: a hydrating and soothing duo, these two ingredients combine to offer relief to uncomfortable, irritated and angry skin (often associated with acne-prone skin types). Aloe Vera and Panthenol also have anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties to support the repair of the skin.
Probiotics: we know they're good for our gut, but they're also beneficial for the skin! Lactococcus Ferment Lysate and Saccharide Isomerate help to rebalance the skin with healthy bacteria, leading to a better surface protection against the “bad” bacteria, and improved barrier function.
Green Tea Extract: touted for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, this ingredient helps to reduce redness and inflammation, while offering protection against environmental damage.

This is equally as effective as an oil-based cleanser
I like how this is just as effective as an oil-based cleanser without leaving the annoying residue behind! I feel like it really cleanses my skin and isn’t overly drying.
