DS Laboratories Advanced Purifying Cleanser (200ml)

The Advanced Purifying Cleanser takes a more intelligent approach to cleansing. Rather than relying on physical scrubbing, it uses enzymatic exfoliation - Papain from papaya and Bromelain from pineapple - to dissolve dead skin cells, lift impurities, and clear excess sebum without disrupting the skin's lipid barrier. Sodium Hyaluronate and Niacinamide hydrate and support barrier function while antioxidants prevent lipid peroxidation, leaving skin clean, balanced, and genuinely protected. Soap-free, alcohol-free, essential oil-free, and paraben-free.

The Advanced Purifying Cleanser suits dry, normal, oily, and combination skin - and is particularly well suited to acne-prone skin that needs effective pore clearing without aggressive stripping. It's a strong daily cleanser for anyone who wants exfoliation built into their cleansing step without the irritation of physical scrubs or harsh acids.

• Enzymatic exfoliation via Papain and Bromelain dissolves impurities and dead skin cells without physical abrasion
• Targets excess sebum and helps prevent the formation of comedones and pimples in acne-prone skin
• Sodium Hyaluronate at 10% Hyaluronic Acid Complex concentration maintains hydration throughout the cleanse
• Niacinamide at 1.3% supports barrier function and reduces post-cleanse inflammation
• Antioxidants protect the lipid barrier by inhibiting lipid peroxidation
• Soap-free, alcohol-free, essential oil-free, and paraben-free - suitable for sensitive and reactive skin 

• Papain - A natural enzyme derived from papaya that dissolves the bonds holding dead skin cells together, delivering effective enzymatic exfoliation without the micro-tears associated with physical scrubs.
• Bromelain - A complementary enzyme derived from pineapple that works alongside Papain to lift impurities and excess sebum, supporting clearer pores and a smoother skin surface.
• Sodium Hyaluronate - The salt form of Hyaluronic Acid, present as part of a 10% Hyaluronic Acid Complex that draws moisture into the skin and helps maintain hydration levels throughout the cleansing process.
• Niacinamide - At 1.3% concentration, this Vitamin B3 derivative supports barrier integrity, helps regulate sebum production, and reduces post-cleanse redness and irritation.
• Cannabidiol (Full Spectrum Hemp CBD Extract) - Provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support at the barrier level, helping to inhibit lipid peroxidation and protect the skin's natural defence system.

Apply a small amount to wet face and neck. Massage gently in circular motions to activate the enzymatic exfoliation. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat dry and follow with your regular serum and moisturizer. Suitable for daily use morning and evening.

Enzymatic exfoliation is one of the most underrated tools in a skincare routine - effective enough to clear congestion and dead skin buildup, but gentle enough for daily use without compromising the barrier. The addition of CBD, Niacinamide, and Sodium Hyaluronate means this cleanser actively supports skin health rather than simply stripping it clean. A strong first step for any face routine.
