- gently removes dead skin cells
- penetrates pores and cleanses them from within
- reduces the frequency of breakouts
- preserves the skin's natural protective barrier
Skin type
For normal, combination and oily skin and skin prone to acne and enlarged pores.
Key ingredients
- Jojoba Esters – round, biodegradable beads gently remove dead cells that can clog pores (physical exfoliation)
- Salicylic acid – an oil-soluble BHA that penetrates pores and helps loosen impurities and excess oil
- Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) in beads – released during application for a nourishing antioxidant effect
How to use
Gently massage a dime-sized amount onto wet skin in circular motions for 30–60 seconds and rinse thoroughly. Use daily, morning and evening, as step 1 of the Getting Skin Ready routine. For deeper exfoliation, additionally use a ZO exfoliating product 2–3 times a week. Do not apply to broken, irritated, inflamed or sensitive skin.

FAQ
Is Exfoliating Cleanser suitable for oily skin?
Yes, it is designed for normal to oily skin. Oil-soluble salicylic acid works inside the pores and helps dissolve excess oil.
Does it help with blackheads?
Salicylic acid dissolves the dead cells and oil that cause blackheads and, with regular use, can reduce visible pore congestion.
Should I exfoliate before or after cleansing?
This gel combines cleansing and gentle exfoliation in one step. It is used as step 1 of Getting Skin Ready; for deeper exfoliation, follow with ZO Exfoliating Polish as a separate step.
