All questions

How does an "Anti-Aging" cleanser differ from a regular cleanser?

As skin ages, its natural exfoliation process slows down, which can lead to a dull, rough texture. This cleanser is specifically formulated with Mandelic Acid (a gentle AHA) and Papain (papaya enzymes) to help dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together. This preps your skin to better absorb the anti-aging serums and moisturizers that follow, while revealing a smoother, more youthful-looking glow.

Is this product safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. We chose Mandelic Acid because it has a larger molecular size than other acids (like Glycolic), meaning it penetrates the skin more slowly and is much less likely to cause irritation. Combined with soothing Tasmannia Lanceolata and Green Tea, this formula provides a professional-grade exfoliation that is gentle enough for sensitive skin types.

How is this different from my personalized PROVEN Cleanser (PROVEN Pro)?

PROVEN Pro Cleanser: Is a 3-in-1 formula (cleanser, toner, and gentle exfoliator) custom-blended by AI to address your unique environment and a wide range of concerns simultaneously. SkinSpecific Anti-Aging Cleanser: Is a targeted treatment specifically engineered to focus on texture, surface smoothing, and skin vitality. It utilizes a blend of Mandelic Acid and Ginseng to specifically address skin texture and tone during the cleansing step.

Should I switch from my PROVEN Pro Cleanser to this one?

If your current personalized routine is maintaining your skin’s balance, there is no need to switch. However, if you feel your skin has become more "sluggish," looks dull, or feels rough to the touch, switching to the Anti-Aging Cleanser can provide the enzymatic and acid-based "resurfacing" needed to restore a smoother appearance.

Can I use this cleanser with my Retinol products?

Yes. Because Mandelic Acid is so gentle, this cleanser can be used in the same routine as Retinol for most skin types. In fact, by removing surface buildup, it helps your Retinol work more effectively. If you have very reactive skin, we recommend using this cleanser in the morning and your Retinol product at night.

What are the benefits of Ginseng and Pomegranate in this formula?

Panax Ginseng Root is a powerful skin energizer that helps improve the appearance of skin tone and texture. Pomegranate Extract is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the skin from environmental stressors that contribute to the visible signs of aging.

Is this cleanser safe to use around the eyes?

As with any product containing exfoliating acids or enzymes, you should avoid the immediate eye area. If the product comes into contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with cool water.

Is this cleanser pregnancy-safe?

Mandelic Acid and Papain are generally considered safe for use during pregnancy. However, we always recommend consulting with your physician before introducing new active skincare into your routine while pregnant or breastfeeding.
