Powder Cleanser

Because we wanted a cleanser ultra-concentrated in active ingredients, without compromising on gentleness or respect for the skin's ecosystem.

A gel or foam is 70 to 80% water. And the more water there is, the less room there is for active ingredients. By removing it, we free up that space, so everything in the jar benefits the skin: oats, aloe, clays, the Mediterranean phytocomplex, corn, and even our surfactant that prevents skin dehydration.

No, not at all!

For a long time, "clean skin" was confused with that squeaky-clean feeling after rinsing. In reality, that tightness means the cleanser has removed more than just dirt: it has damaged the skin barrier. And weakened skin compensates by producing more sebum.

Our powder contains highly purifying ingredients, such as clays and corn, balanced by others that hydrate, soothe irritation, and keep the barrier protected: oats, aloe, and even the surfactant itself.

Our powder is not strictly a makeup remover. It can help cleanse light foundation or blush. For more stubborn makeup (mascara, waterproof products, eyeliner), you will first need to remove your makeup, then follow up with our Pow(d)er Cleanser.

In any case, we always recommend double cleansing, even without makeup: it's the only way to remove certain residues, such as pollution or SPF. Use an oil-based or balm product first, followed by a water-based cleanser, like Pow(d)er Cleanser.

Regarding the formula, none of its ingredients interfere with treatments usually prescribed for pimples.

Pow(d)er Cleanser is even the ideal cleanser to accompany these treatments and counteract their effects on the skin (dryness, weakened and reactive skin). Precisely because it has been formulated with ingredients that purify and deeply cleanse, balanced by active ingredients that limit irritation, moisturize, and protect the skin.

If you are undergoing treatment and:

• your skin is doing rather well:use it morning and evening, as we normally recommend.
• your skin is extremely reactive:use it only in the evening.

Yes, that's even what we recommend. In the evening to wash off the day, in the morning to start with clean skin.

If your skin is particularly reactive right now, keep it for the evening and just rinse with water in the morning.

Yes. That's precisely why we've balanced the formula: clays purify, while oat and aloe soothe and moisturize at the same time.

Skin that is dry in some areas is often skin that has been over-cleansed. A cleanser that no longer aggresses it is the first step to calming these areas.

Yes, and it's even a great idea!

Acne on the back and décolleté are also hormonal breakouts, and these are areas we usually wash with shower gels that have a much higher pH than a facial cleanser.

Simply prepare a little more powder than you would for your face in the palm of your hand, and apply by massaging as you would on your face. And if you want to go further, replace your usual body cream with a few drops of Night Skin Recharge on these areas.

It lathers less than a classic gel, yes. And that's intentional.

Our powder does not contain sulfates: these are what create abundant foam, and these are what strip the skin. Instead, we chose a very mild surfactant, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, which is used in baby products. It lathers, but it doesn't put on a show 😉

And if you get a grainy texture rather than a smooth foam, it's not a formula problem: you need a little more water. Add a few drops.
