Most cleansers clean by force — sulfates that strip everything, including your barrier. We matched skin’s pH and let a coconut-derived surfactant do the work.

Straight answers

Questions, answered.

Will my skin feel tight after washing?

No — that tight, squeaky feeling is your skin stripped of its natural oils. This is a low-foaming, pH-balanced cleansing milk: it clears oil, grime, and sunscreen while glycerin and squalane keep moisture in, so skin finishes soft and comfortable.

Can I really shave with it?

Yes. The milky texture creates a smooth protective layer for your razor, squalane gives the blade glide, and panthenol works like a built-in aftershave that calms post-shave redness. One bottle, two jobs — no extra can on the shelf.

Does it work for oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Harsh cleansers strip skin, which triggers rebound oil by midday. The pH-balanced formula helps regulate oil over time, and betaine salicylate — a gentle BHA — helps keep pores clear without harsh scrubbing. It rinses clean with no film left behind.

How do I use it?

Wet your face with warm water, work 2–3 pumps over your whole face, rinse, and towel dry. About 30 seconds, morning and night. The formula is concentrated, so you need less than a typical cleanser.

Cleanser alone or the Core Set?

If stripped, oily, or breakout-prone skin is your main concern, the cleanser covers it. If you want the full face upgrade, the Core Set adds the moisturizer to hydrate and soften visible wrinkles and the eye cream to target tired-looking eyes — and it is the better deal per product.

What if it does not work for me?

Every order is backed by our 90-day money-back guarantee. If you do not get more compliments in 90 days, we refund you. No hoops.

Can I change or cancel a subscription?

Yes. Pick a 45, 60, or 75-day refill schedule, then change the frequency, skip a shipment, or cancel anytime from your account. The subscription discount stays locked in for life.
