Worth knowing
A closer look at your skin, your routine and what goes into the formula.
Skinbetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser is an exfoliating facial cleanser for normal to oily skin. Its soft, velvety foam brings together glycolic, lactic and malic acids with salicylic acid, so cleansing and gentle exfoliation happen in one step.
The acids help loosen dull surface buildup and lift away excess oil, while an amino acid-based cleansing complex creates a cushiony lather. Glycerin, beta-glucan and bisabolol keep the skin feeling soft and comfortable after rinsing.
With regular use, shine looks more balanced, pores look less congested and the complexion appears brighter and more even in texture. Formulated without parabens, fragrance or dyes, and free of soap and sulfates.
Oily, congested-looking skin often needs exfoliation, yet harsh cleansers can leave it tight and reactive. This foam answers both needs with a soft lather and a balanced blend of AHAs and salicylic acid. It rinses clean and never feels stripping. We like it for anyone who wants a fresher, more refined-looking complexion from the very first step of their routine.
Normal, combination or oily skin
Let the foam sit on the T-zone for a slow count of ten before rinsing, so the acids have a moment to work where shine and congestion gather most.
