It is dependent on the type of exfoliant and how it is formulated. Strong acids or abrasive scrubs may be too intense for everyday use, but Daily Exfoliating Cleanser was specifically developed for gentle daily exfoliation. It combines spherical, biodegradable jojoba beads with skin-refining enzymes to help lift away buildup, while glycerin and squalane help maintain skin’s moisture balance.

Physical exfoliation uses texture to gently lift dead surface cells and buildup, while chemical exfoliation uses acids such as AHAs or BHAs to loosen dead skin cells. Enzymatic exfoliation uses enzymes to help refine the skin’s surface. Daily Exfoliating Cleanser combines gentle physical exfoliation from spherical jojoba beads with skin-refining enzymes for a balanced, rinse-off approach.

Unlike rough or irregular scrub particles, the biodegradable jojoba beads have a smooth, spherical shape that gently polishes the skin’s surface. This helps refine the look and feel of uneven texture without relying on an overly abrasive scrubbing action.

Daily Exfoliating Cleanser is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, everyone’s skin is different. If your skin is sensitive or new to exfoliation, begin by using it a few times per week and gradually increase use based on how your skin responds. In an independent consumer study that included participants with sensitive skin, 96% agreed the cleanser was gentle enough for daily use after seven days.

Signs of over-exfoliation may include persistent redness, tightness, dryness, sensitivity, or stinging when applying other products. If you notice any of these signs, pause or reduce the frequency of exfoliation and focus on gentle, hydrating products until your skin feels balanced again.

Yes, but it is important to pay attention to your skin’s tolerance. If you have sensitive skin, avoid using Daily Exfoliating Cleanser in the same routine as stronger actives such as retinol, exfoliating acids, or vitamin C. Instead, alternate them between morning and evening or use them on different days to keep your routine balanced. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency.

Skin can feel smoother and more refreshed immediately after cleansing. In an independent consumer study, 90% of participants agreed that their skin felt smoother after one day of use. With continued use, the cleanser helps support smoother-looking texture and a more refined, radiant appearance.

Our Master Esthetician & Founder recommends using Daily Exfoliating Cleanser as the second step in a double-cleansing routine. Start with an oil or balm cleanser, such as Nourishing Cleansing Oil, to remove makeup and daily buildup. Follow with Daily Exfoliating Cleanser to thoroughly cleanse and gently refine the skin.

Because Daily Exfoliating Cleanser already provides physical and enzymatic exfoliation, you may not need an additional exfoliant in the same routine. Layering multiple exfoliating products can increase the chance of sensitivity. If you use an exfoliating toner, serum, peel, or scrub, alternate usage based on your skin’s needs.

Yes. Daily Exfoliating Cleanser cleanses and exfoliates in one simple step, helping remove dirt, excess oil, and surface buildup while smoothing and refining the skin. There is no need to use a separate face scrub afterward.
