All questions

Is this product safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. We’ve specifically formulated this cleanser to be effective yet gentle. Unlike high-percentage AHA cleansers that can cause stinging, this formula uses Azelaic Acid and Papain, which provide a milder exfoliation. We’ve also included Allantoin and Glycerin to soothe and hydrate, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin looking to brighten their tone.

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. SkinSpecific Hyperpigmentation Cleanser: Is a targeted treatment specifically engineered to focus on surface pigment and dullness. It contains brightening actives like Azelaic Acid and Ginseng specifically for this purpose.

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

If your current personalized routine is maintaining your skin's health, there is no need to switch. However, if your primary focus has shifted to fading stubborn dark spots or sun damage, switching to the Hyperpigmentation Cleanser can provide the targeted "re-surfacing" needed to accelerate those results.

Can I use this cleanser with my Vitamin C or Retinol products?

Yes.

  • With Vitamin C: Using this in the morning can help enhance your Vitamin C’s efficacy by removing the dead skin cells that might block absorption.
  • With Retinol: This is an excellent evening companion to Retinol. The Azelaic Acid works in tandem with your Retinol to improve overall skin clarity.
What are the benefits of Tamanu Oil and Ginseng in this formula?

Tamanu Oil is prized for its skin-calming and nourishing properties. Panax Ginseng Root is known as a skin "energizer," helping to improve the look of skin vitality and brightness.

Is this cleanser pregnancy-safe?

Azelaic Acid is often a preferred ingredient for addressing pregnancy-related pigment (melasma). However, as with all active skincare, we recommend consulting with your physician before use while pregnant or breastfeeding.
