Most foaming cleansers only remove surface debris. The Rhonda Allison Pumpkin Lactic Cleanse goes further by incorporating lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that gently loosens dead skin cells while you cleanse, so you are exfoliating and cleaning at the same time. The addition of pumpkin seed oil and beta-carotene also means you are delivering antioxidants to the skin rather than stripping it.

Because this is a rinse-off formula, the lactic acid has limited contact time, which makes it gentler than a leave-on AHA treatment. That said, if your skin is reactive or you are new to acid-containing products, start by using it once daily and monitor how your skin responds before moving to twice-daily use. If you have active redness or a compromised barrier, a free skincare consultation with one of our estheticians can help you decide if this is the right fit.

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that works by breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together on the surface of the skin. In a cleanser format, it provides a meaningful but controlled level of exfoliation with each wash, gradually improving skin texture and evening out tone over time.

Beta-carotene is the plant-derived form of provitamin A, meaning the skin can convert it into a usable form of vitamin A. In this cleanser, it contributes antioxidant protection against environmental damage and supports the skin's natural renewal process, which helps maintain a firmer, more even complexion with regular use.

Yes, it is formulated for daily use morning and evening. The surfactant system is built from gentle, plant-derived ingredients like coco-glucoside and sodium cocoyl glutamate, which clean effectively without over-stripping the skin. The key is to complete the full two-minute massage each time so the lactic acid can work properly before rinsing.

Yes, this cleanser has a warm, spiced aroma that comes from its active botanical ingredients: ginger root oil, clove leaf oil, and cinnamon cassia leaf oil. These are functional ingredients included for their skin benefits, so the scent is a natural byproduct of the formulation rather than added fragrance.

It can be, but layering multiple exfoliating actives requires some care. If you are using a retinol or a leave-on AHA or BHA treatment, consider using this cleanser on alternating days or only in the morning while reserving your stronger actives for the evening. A free skincare consultation with one of our estheticians is the easiest way to sequence your routine safely.
