Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

A luxurious daily face wash that brings a spa-like cleanse to your own bathroom. Dermatologist-approved, this multi-award-winning cleanser suits all skin types; even sensitive or blemish-prone skin.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

This cream cleanser gently melts away dirt, SPF, and waterproof makeup while nourishing your skin. Jojoba oil dissolves impurities without disrupting your moisture barrier. Green tea extract fights free radicals for brighter, calmer skin. Aloe vera delivers a rush of hydration that leaves your complexion soft and balanced.

In an independent clinical study, skin showed an average 50% increase in hydration after one use.

Choose the scented version with eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils for an aromatherapeutic cleanse, or the unscented version for supersensitive skin.

Better still, buy Smoothing Cleanser as part of our Essential Collection and save £22.

Why We Made It

"When I first set out to create a cleanser, I knew it had to do more than just remove makeup. I wanted it to feel like a moment of calm at the start and end of your day; a gentle ritual that would leave your skin soft, balanced, and cared for, no matter your skin type.

That’s how Smoothing Cleanser was born. Powered by nourishing jojoba oil and soothing aloe vera, it’s been part of my daily routine for over a decade and it’s still the product I’m most proud of".

Susie Ma, Founder & CEO

How To Use

Apply 2-4 pumps onto your dry face and neck twice daily, treating yourself to a relaxing massage to reset your mind and stimulate your senses.

If you’re wearing makeup, rinse off with warm water and reapply for a second cleanse.

Then, soak your Bamboo Cloth in warm water and use it to gently steam and exfoliate your skin, removing any excess product. Finish with a refreshing splash of cold water.

Ingredients

Green Tea Extract

What can’t this do? Bursting with antioxidants that protect from UV and free radicals, it also boosts skin cell regeneration and balances sebum levels – perfect for those who suffer from breakouts.

Golden Jojoba Oil

Restoring the skin so it stays strong and fully functioning, jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax (rather than a traditional oil) which means it’s more like your skin’s own sebum. That’s why it won’t clog pores and makes it suitable for everyone – a real crowd pleaser.

Macadamia Oil

Not just delicious to eat, these Australian nuts are filled with oleic, linoleic and palmitoleic fatty acids which basically means that they boost your skin’s resilience and keep it super supple. They also contain a hefty portion of vitamin E to nourish and replenish any dry areas and because the oil is a similar concentration to our skin’s sebum, it soaks it up easily without clogging pores.

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

Does it remove waterproof makeup?

Yes! The nourishing oil-based formula breaks down even stubborn waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation. Smoothing Cleanser is gentle enough for the eye area and effectively removes most eye makeup. If you have particularly sensitive eyes, opt for the unscented version.

What skin types are suited to Smoothing Cleanser?

It’s dermatologist-approved for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily or acne-prone. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, opt for the unscented version for an extra-gentle cleanse.

Does Smoothing Cleanser help with acne or breakouts?

While it’s not specifically targeted for acne, its gentle formula helps prevent clogged pores and inflammation, making it ideal for blemish-prone skin when used consistently. For a more targeted cleanse, try our Clarifying Cleanser, formulated specifically for oily or blemish-prone skin.

Can I use this cleanser if I have eczema or rosacea?

Yes, the unscented version is specifically designed for ultra-sensitive skin and is free from common irritants, making it suitable for conditions like eczema or rosacea. Always patch test first.
