A gentle AHA that softly exfoliates your skin, while deeply hydrating for a nourished complexion.

Salicylic Acid

Decongesting and exfoliating from within the pore, this BHA breaks down the clogged oil and skin cells that can contribute to enlarged pores and blemishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Surface Radiance Cleanse and Pore Cleanse Gel Intense?
Both gel cleansers have features in common, with both containing active AHA and BHA ingredients. These ingredients are best suited for normal to oily skin types up to twice a day or, for sensitive to dry skins, up to once a day - or whenever a deeper cleanse is required. The core difference is related to the type of benefits each cleanser brings to your skin. While Surface Radiance Cleanse is designed for skin smoothing and brightening benefits as well as targeted action on dullness and uneven skin texture, Pore Cleanse Gel Intense is specifically designed with oilier skin types in mind. It works on reducing unwanted shine caused by excess oil while visibly minimising pores.
Can I use Surface Radiance Cleanse during pregnancy?

As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy. We would recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use. As general guidance, this product does not contain any ingredients which we would recommend to avoid during pregnancy, unless advised by your doctor.

Can I use my vitamin C serum after Surface Radiance Cleanse?
Absolutely. In fact, we recommend you do so to enhance the smoothing and brightening results of this formula as much as possible.
When can I use Surface Radiance Cleanse?
You can use Surface Radiance cleanse up to twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening. We recommend twice-a-day use for normal to oily skin types. For dry or sensitive skin, we suggest using up to 2 times per week.
