FAQ

Q: Can I use Clarifying Foam if I have sensitive, blemish-prone skin?
A: Yes, Clarifying Foam has been specifically formulated with sensitive, blemish-prone skin in mind. The pH-balanced formula uses the L-form of mandelic acid, which is the most biologically compatible with skin for optimal results and minimal irritation. In independent studies, 96% of sensitive, blemish-prone skin types found the product gentle on their skin. However, we always recommend patch testing before first use and starting with once-daily application to assess your skin's response.

Q: Can I use Clarifying Foam alongside other active ingredients like vitamin C or retinol?
A: Absolutely. Clarifying Foam works beautifully as part of a comprehensive skincare routine. In the morning, follow with Press & Clear toner and your vitamin C serum before sunscreen. In the evening, after cleansing with Clarifying Foam, you can apply Crystal Retinal or other vitamin A treatments. The gentle exfoliation from Clarifying Foam actually helps enhance the absorption and efficacy of subsequent active ingredients. Speak to our experts for personalised layering advice.

Q: How quickly will I see results, and how long should I use it?
A: Many users notice improved skin clarity within the first week of use, with skin appearing visibly clearer and less congested. However, for optimal long-term results in preventing breakouts and improving overall skin texture, we recommend consistent use as part of your daily cleansing routine. The gentle, pH-balanced formula is designed for ongoing use, helping to maintain clear, balanced skin over time rather than providing only temporary improvement.

Q: Should I use Clarifying Foam once or twice daily?
A: Clarifying Foam can be used up to twice daily – once in the morning and once in the evening. If you're new to exfoliating cleansers or have particularly sensitive skin, start with once daily application (preferably in the evening) and gradually increase to twice daily as your skin adjusts. For those with very oily or resilient skin, twice-daily use typically delivers optimal results.

Q: Is this suitable for double cleansing, and what should I pair it with?
A: Clarifying Foam is perfect as a second cleanse in the evening after using an oil-based cleanser. Our experts particularly recommend pairing it with Lipid Balance Cleansing Oil for the ultimate purifying double cleanse. The oil cleanser effectively dissolves sunscreen, makeup and oil-based impurities, whilst Clarifying Foam then provides targeted exfoliation and pore-clarifying benefits. This combination ensures the most effective cleansing without over-stripping the skin.
