The Circadia Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser is a honey-based facial cleanser that combines gentle physical exfoliation with hydrating and antioxidant-rich ingredients. Ultra-fine microbeads made from beeswax and carnauba wax smooth rough texture and absorb excess oil, while honey soothes and supports the skin barrier. Mild coconut-derived surfactants deliver a light lather that cleanses without stripping. Skin finishes the cleanse feeling soft, balanced, and comfortable.

This cleanser is ideal for normal, combination, and oily skin types dealing with dull texture, roughness, or excess oil. It works especially well for anyone who wants the benefits of regular exfoliation built into their cleansing step rather than as a separate product. Because the microbeads are wax-based and non-abrasive, it is also a reasonable option for sensitive skin that tolerates mild physical exfoliation. Those with active inflammation or a compromised barrier should pause exfoliation until the skin has stabilized.

Yes, the Circadia Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser does contain fragrance. It also lists benzyl benzoate and coumarin, which are fragrance components required to be disclosed under EU cosmetic regulations. If your skin is sensitive to fragrance, patch test before incorporating it into your routine or consult one of our estheticians for an alternative recommendation via a free skincare consultation.

Most people see good results using the Circadia Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser 2 to 3 times per week, typically as a morning cleanse. This frequency keeps texture smooth and skin looking refreshed without the risk of over-exfoliating. If your skin feels tight or looks irritated, reduce frequency and allow the barrier to recover before resuming.

The microbeads in the Circadia Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser are made from beeswax and carnauba wax, which have a smooth, rounded structure that buffs the skin surface without the sharp edges associated with crushed mineral or walnut shell exfoliants. This makes them gentler on skin that tolerates mild physical exfoliation. Use light pressure and start at once per week to assess how your skin responds before increasing frequency.

Apply the Circadia Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser to dry skin first, then dampen your fingertips with warm water and massage in circular motions for a full two minutes before rinsing. Starting on dry skin gives the microbeads more contact with the surface before water dilutes the formula. Follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer, and apply SPF every morning.

Yes, the Circadia Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser is cruelty-free. Circadia does not test its products on animals. Note that this product does contain honey and beeswax, which are animal-derived ingredients, so it is not considered vegan.
