Formulated as a fresh gel that transforms into a creamy foam, the clarins exfoliating cleanser blends Alpine herb extracts, organic soapwort and kiwi extract to remove makeup, cleanse pores, and gently exfoliate without disturbing the skin’s natural balance. Clarins' Gentle Complex with yellow gentian and lemon balm soothes and softens while plant-based microbeads create a light peeling effect for a smooth, radiant finish. Suitable for all skin types, this 125ml tube acts as a daily pore scrub and brightening wash, leaving skin soft and clear after rinsing and simplifying cleansing, makeup removal, and gentle exfoliation in one step, daily routines.

How it works

The fresh gel contains plant-based microbeads that provide a delicate mechanical exfoliation while surfactants transform the gel into a light, creamy foam. The formula’s botanical extracts help lift makeup residues and excess oil from pores while Clarins Gentle Complex calms and softens the skin. Use the cleanser to combine cleansing, make-up removal, and a softening exfoliant step in one.
