The way to a clear unblemished skin - free from any spots, pimples and acne starts with a clean skin. Although a good facial cleanser must be used to ensure that all excess oil (sebum) is removed, as well as any dirt and impurities, it must still be gentle enough
so as not to irritate your skin, or to damage the acid balance (also called the acid mantle) of your skin.

There are several reasons why pimples and acne form, and a way to cut out some of the
reasons would be to ensure a perfectly clean skin. Although some people think that they have to use very strong facial cleansers or soaps
for problem skin, this may actually contribute to the problem - as a face wash that is too acid or too alkaline can disrupt the natural protection of the skin.
We have formulated a mild, yet super-effective cleanser that will not only clean your face properly, but
will also work pro-actively in preventing skin problems, as well as help to sort out any spots, pimples and acne that may be present.
When looking at the summary of the ingredients below, you will notice that salicylic acid - from natural willow bark - has been included,
as it has the ability to clean inside the pores as well.
The rest of the ingredients are selected to soothe
the skin and reduce
inflammation and skin redness, boosting general skin health.
Another myth that some people still believe in is that a cleanser / wash / soap must be drying, since they believe that the drying action will dry out the pimples and acne. This is a misconception - as a too dry skin will not only be uncomfortable, but may easily get inflamed, irritated and red. For this reason we have ensured that our facial wash will not dry the skin, but help balance moisture and hydration,
to help prevent discomfort and more skin problems.
These ingredients are from natural sources, and the different botanical extracts are
combined so as to present you with the best possible facial cleanser to win the battle against spots, acne and pimples.
