Cleansing - Refining Enzyme and Vitamine C Cleanser 2.64oz
The Babor Cleansing - Enzyme Cleanser (also known as the Babor Refining Enzyme & Vitamin C Cleanser in its newer formulation) is a fine-grained powder that transforms into a creamy, lightweight foam when mixed with water. This dual-action product is designed to deeply cleanse and gently exfoliate the skin, leaving it visibly brighter, smoother, and revitalized.
Key Benefits
- 2-in-1 Action: It functions as both a daily facial cleanser and a gentle exfoliant, effectively removing dirt particles, excess sebum, and dead skin cells.
- Brightening: Infused with Vitamin C, the formula helps to boost skin radiance, reduce the appearance of dullness and fatigue, and promote a more even skin tone.
- Refined Texture: The enzymatic action (keratolytic effect) gently breaks down and removes dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing, leading to a softer, smoother complexion.
- Antioxidant Protection: According to us.babor.com, protein extracts from moringa seeds help protect the skin from negative urban environmental factors and free radical damage.
- Optimal Absorption: By providing a deep cleanse, it prepares the skin to better absorb subsequent skincare products like serums and moisturizers.
Suitable for All Skin Types: Reviewers and product descriptions indicate it is suitable for a wide range of skin types, including normal, dry, combination, oily, and even sensitive skin.
The cleanser can be used daily, morning and evening, or less frequently as a targeted scrub depending on skin type. Place a small amount (about a half-teaspoon) of the powder into the palm of your hand.
- Add a little warm water and work it into a gentle, creamy lather with your hands.
- Apply the foam generously to your dry face, neck, and décolleté, avoiding the eye and mouth areas.
- Moisten your fingertips with cool water and work the foam into the skin in circular motions.
- Rinse thoroughly with plenty of warm water.
