Dr. esthé Enzyme Deep Clear Powder Wash

Dr. esthé Enzyme Deep Clear Powder Wash is a powdered enzyme cleanser that transforms into a creamy foam at the point of contact with water, delivering a thorough cleanse without stripping the skin's moisture barrier. It combines dual plant-based enzymes with brightening and soothing botanicals to clear congestion, refine pores, and even skin tone with every wash. It carries a light natural fragrance.

Key Benefits

Dissolves surface buildup without abrasion Papain (from papaya) and bromelain (from pineapple) are proteolytic enzymes that break down the bonds holding dead skin cells and debris to the surface, clearing congestion without the friction of a physical scrub.

Visibly tightens and clarifies pores Corn starch and rice powder absorb excess oil at the skin's surface, helping pores appear tighter and skin look less congested after each use.

Brightens and evens skin tone Licorice root powder contains glabridin, a naturally derived compound shown to inhibit melanin production, making it a reliable ingredient for fading discoloration and promoting a more uniform complexion over time.

Supports the skin's moisture levels while it cleanses Sodium hyaluronate draws moisture into the skin, while allantoin soothes and softens, so the skin feels comfortable and balanced rather than tight after rinsing.

Calms while it clears Aloe barbadensis leaf powder and camellia sinensis leaf powder deliver antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, making this cleanser a good fit for skin that is reactive or prone to redness.

If your skin tends toward congestion, enlarged pores, or uneven texture, this powdered enzyme cleanser was built with your skin type in mind. It is particularly well suited for oily and combination skin that accumulates excess oil throughout the day, as well as acne-prone skin that needs a thorough cleanse without the irritation that comes with harsher exfoliating methods.

Dry skin types that experience surface flaking will also benefit from the enzymatic exfoliation, which lifts dead cells without the drying effect of foaming cleansers formulated with sulfates. The addition of sodium hyaluronate and allantoin keeps the skin balanced even with regular use.

If you are working on hyperpigmentation, post-acne marks, or dullness, the licorice root powder and dual-enzyme action make this an effective daily step for gradually brightening the complexion while keeping the pores clean.

For a more intensive treatment, mix the powder with a small amount of water in your palm to form a slightly thicker paste and leave it on the skin for 60 seconds before massaging and rinsing. This gives the papain and bromelain enzymes more contact time to break down buildup, which is especially useful if you are dealing with congested or textured areas.

Prepare: Dispense a small amount of powder into a dry palm.

Apply: Wet your other hand and rub both hands together to activate the powder into a creamy foam.

Technique: Gently massage onto the face in circular motions for two full minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Frequency: Use daily, morning or evening. Follow with your toner, serum, and moisturizer. If using in the morning, finish with an SPF.
