Refining Cleanser

Description

Marie Veronique Treatment Remedy Refining Cleanser is a daily exfoliating cleanser designed to refine skin texture while supporting the skin’s natural barrier. This gentle yet effective formula works to remove buildup and debris without stripping, making it suitable for skin experiencing congestion, breakouts, or dullness—as well as mature skin with irregular texture or reduced barrier function.

Formulated with lactic acid and phloretin for thoughtful exfoliation, plus beta hydroxy acids to decongest and smooth, this cleanser also features polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) to help maintain moisture and promote a balanced skin environment. Regular use encourages a more even-looking tone and texture, while preparing skin for optimal absorption of follow-up products.

HOW TO USE IT

Shake well. Dispense one pump and warm between palms. Using first three fingers, draw small circles over face/neck/chest for 1-2 minutes, adding water to create slip. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
