iS Clinical Cleansing Complex

Most exfoliating cleansers use free acids at concentrations that can cause dryness, tightness, or irritation, especially with daily use. iS Clinical Cleansing Complex uses willow bark and sugarcane extracts, which supply natural precursors to salicylic and glycolic acids, so the exfoliation is effective but far gentler on the barrier. Centella asiatica actives and chamomile flower extract round out the formula so your skin finishes each cleanse feeling genuinely comfortable, not reactive.

Yes. The botanical exfoliants work at the skin's natural pH and are supported by chamomile flower extract and the centella asiatica actives asiaticoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid, all of which help reduce redness and calm reactive skin during cleansing. Many clients with rosacea find this cleanser helps manage congestion without triggering flare-ups. If you're starting out, use it once daily in the evening and increase frequency as your skin adjusts.

Pores appear larger when they're packed with oil, dead skin cells, and debris. The willow bark and sugarcane extracts gently dissolve that buildup from inside the pore, while the two-minute massage technique helps physically dislodge congestion before it has a chance to oxidize and become visible. With consistent use, pores stay clearer and look noticeably smaller over time.

Start on completely dry skin. This allows the botanical extracts to bind directly to oil and impurities before water dilutes them. As you massage, dampen your fingertips with warm water to build a light lather and help rinse everything away. This technique gets the most out of both the exfoliating and cleansing properties of the formula.

Yes. The balanced 5.6 pH and gentle surfactant system make twice-daily use appropriate for most skin types, including skin that typically doesn't tolerate daily exfoliation. If you're new to this cleanser or have very sensitive skin, starting with once-daily evening use is a reasonable way to let your skin adapt before moving to morning and evening.

No. Glycerin helps maintain hydration during cleansing, and the mild surfactants are chosen specifically to avoid disrupting the moisture barrier. The centella asiatica actives, asiaticoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid, also work to limit transepidermal water loss so your skin holds onto hydration even as the formula removes oil and buildup. Most clients rinse off and find their skin feels soft and balanced rather than tight or stripped.

Yes. The gentle exfoliants help lift hair for a closer shave, and the creamy lather provides enough slip to protect the skin during shaving. The chamomile and centella asiatica actives help minimize post-shave redness and irritation, making this a practical acne-safe alternative to conventional shaving creams that can clog pores.
