How To Use

Application: Begin by moistening your face and neck with lukewarm water. Dispense a small, pea-sized amount of Cleansing Complex into the palm of your hand. Rub hands together to activate the formula, then massage gently over the face and neck using circular motions. Pay particular attention to areas of congestion or makeup concentration. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Frequency: Use morning and evening as part of your daily skincare regime for optimal results.

Timing: Morning: Use after cleansing to prepare skin for treatment products and SPF. Evening: Use to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities before applying night-time treatments.

Layering: As the first step in your skincare regime, follow with appropriate serums, treatments, and moisturisers. The balanced pH prepares skin to optimally absorb subsequent products.

Expert Tips: For enhanced treatment benefits, leave the cleanser on skin for 10-15 minutes as a mini masque before rinsing. The formula is gentle enough for use around the orbital area, making it effective for removing eye makeup. A small amount provides excellent coverage, making the product highly economical. For best results, use as guided by your aesthetic practitioner or as part of an iS Clinical skincare regime.

FAQ

Q: Can I use the Cleansing Complex if I have very sensitive or hypersensitive skin?
A: Absolutely. The Cleansing Complex is specifically formulated with a balanced pH of 5.6 and gentle botanical ingredients, making it suitable for even hypersensitive skin. The mild resurfacing ingredients work gently without causing irritation, and the formula has been clinically tested for safety. However, we recommend performing a patch test before first use, particularly if you have reactive skin or known sensitivities.

Q: How does this cleanser differ from other cleansers, and why is it worth the investment?
A: The Cleansing Complex is a pharmaceutical-grade, award-winning formula that serves as a 3-in-1 solution (cleanser, toner, and makeup remover), streamlining your routine. It contains 95-98% botanical ingredients at therapeutic concentrations, including naturally derived AHA and BHA, along with powerful antioxidants. The balanced pH of 5.6 ensures it won't disrupt your skin's natural barrier, and the formula is trusted by dermatologists and used in professional facials worldwide. A little goes a long way—a pea-sized amount is sufficient, making the product highly economical despite the premium price point.

Q: Will this cleanser help with my breakouts and congested pores?
A: Yes, the Cleansing Complex is particularly effective for blemish-prone skin. The natural BHA from Willow Bark Extract (0.5%) penetrates pores to help clear debris and prevent breakout formation, whilst the natural AHA from Sugar Cane Extract (0.43%) gently exfoliates the surface to prevent pore congestion. The anti-inflammatory botanicals, including Centella Asiatica and Chamomile, help calm existing inflammation whilst the gentle yet thorough cleansing action removes impurities without triggering excess oil production.

Q: Can I use this cleanser to remove eye makeup?
A: Yes, the Cleansing Complex is gentle enough for use around the orbital area and effectively removes eye makeup, including waterproof formulations. The mild formula won't irritate the delicate eye area, making it an excellent all-in-one solution for facial and eye makeup removal.

Q: How long will a bottle last with regular use?
A: With twice-daily use, the 180ml size typically lasts 2-4 months, depending on the amount used per application. As only a pea-sized amount is needed for the entire face and neck, the product is highly economical. The 60ml travel size is perfect for holidays or trial purposes.

Q: Can I use this cleanser if I have dry skin? Won't the acids be too drying?
A: Despite containing gentle exfoliating acids, the Cleansing Complex is suitable for dry skin. The formula includes humectants like Glycerin and Phospholipids that help maintain moisture levels, and the mild surfactants cleanse without stripping the skin's natural lipid barrier. The balanced pH of 5.6 ensures the formula doesn't compromise skin barrier function. Many users with dry skin report that unlike other cleansers, this one doesn't leave their skin feeling tight or uncomfortable.

Q: Is this product suitable for use after professional treatments like peels or laser?
A: Yes, the Cleansing Complex is excellent for post-procedure care. The gentle, non-irritating formula with healing botanicals like Centella Asiatica supports the skin's recovery process. Many dermatologists and aestheticians recommend this cleanser for use immediately following professional treatments. However, always follow your practitioner's specific post-treatment guidance.

Q: Do I need to use a toner after using this cleanser?
A: No, a toner is not necessary when using the Cleansing Complex. The product is formulated as a 3-in-1 cleanser, toner, and makeup remover. The balanced pH of 5.6 matches healthy skin, helping to restore and maintain skin balance without the need for an additional toning step. In fact, using a toner may upset the skin's balance and cause either excess oil production or dryness.
