How To Use

Application: Dispense 1-2 pumps into the palm of your hand. Add a small amount of lukewarm water and mix gently to activate the light lather. Press and massage the cleanser into your face, neck, and décolleté using circular motions, paying particular attention to areas of congestion or concern.

Frequency: Can be used once or twice daily depending on skin needs. For optimal results, our experts recommend once in the morning for refreshing cleansing, and twice in the evening (first cleanse to remove makeup and daily accumulation, second cleanse for treatment benefits).

Timing: Suitable for morning and evening use. Morning application provides antioxidant protection to start your day, whilst evening use delivers corrective exfoliation and cellular renewal overnight.

Removal: Rinse thoroughly with warm water using a clean, soft face cloth. Pat skin dry gently and follow immediately with your treatment products whilst skin is still slightly damp for enhanced absorption.

Expert Tips: For an intensive weekly treatment, apply the cleanser in the shower and allow it to remain on the skin for up to 5 minutes before rinsing. This "flash mask" technique delivers enhanced AHA and BHA benefits. If you experience tingling, this is normal and indicates the active ingredients are working. Speak to our skincare specialists for personalised guidance on incorporating this cleanser into your specific treatment protocol.

Can I use this cleanser if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, the Q+SOD fx210 Active Cleanser is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin when introduced gradually. Begin with once-daily evening use and monitor your skin's response. The 12% Lactic Acid concentration is considered gentle compared to other AHAs like glycolic acid, whilst the soothing Cucumber Extract and hydrating ingredients help minimise potential irritation. However, if you have very reactive skin, we recommend consulting our experts for personalised guidance on phasing this cleanser into your routine.

How does this cleanser differ from your LCA fx110 Gentle Cleanser?

The Q+SOD fx210 Active Cleanser features a more advanced formulation with higher concentrations of active ingredients and the addition of the proprietary Q+SOD Complex (CoQ10 and SOD). It contains both AHA (12% Lactic Acid) and BHA (0.5% Salicylic Acid) for comprehensive exfoliation, making it more suitable for concerns including pigmentation, enlarged pores, and blemishes. The LCA fx110 is gentler with a lower acid concentration, making it ideal for very sensitive skin or as an introductory acid cleanser. Our skincare specialists can help determine which formulation best suits your specific concerns and tolerance level.

How quickly will I see results from using this cleanser?

Many clients notice improved skin texture and clarity within 1-2 weeks of consistent use, with enhanced radiance and smoother skin appearing first. Visible improvements in pore size and overall refinement typically become apparent within 4-6 weeks, whilst pigmentation concerns and fine lines show progressive improvement over 8-12 weeks of regular application. For optimal and accelerated results, our experts recommend using this cleanser as part of a comprehensive Priori skincare protocol tailored to your specific concerns.

Can I use this cleanser with my prescription retinoid treatment?

Exercise caution when combining this AHA/BHA cleanser with prescription retinoids, as this may lead to excessive irritation or sensitivity. We recommend consulting your prescribing clinician or speaking with our skincare specialists to develop an appropriate routine. Many clients successfully alternate usage, using the Active Cleanser on mornings only or on evenings when not applying their prescription treatment. Professional guidance ensures you receive maximum benefits without compromising skin comfort or barrier function.

Is the tingling sensation normal, and how can I minimise it?

A mild, temporary tingling sensation is completely normal and indicates the active acids are working effectively. This typically subsides within a few minutes and decreases with regular use as your skin acclimates. To minimise tingling, ensure you're thoroughly mixing the cleanser with water before application, avoid using very hot water for rinsing, and consider reducing contact time initially. If tingling persists beyond 5-10 minutes or is accompanied by persistent redness, reduce usage frequency and consult our experts for personalised guidance.

Can I use this cleanser as a mask treatment?

Yes, the Q+SOD fx210 Active Cleanser is versatile enough to be used as a 5-minute "flash mask" treatment for enhanced exfoliation benefits. Simply apply the product to cleansed skin and allow it to remain for up to 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. This technique is particularly effective when used in the shower. We recommend limiting mask application to 1-2 times weekly in addition to regular cleansing use, adjusting frequency based on your skin's tolerance and response. Speak to our specialists about incorporating this advanced technique into your treatment protocol.
