HydroPeptide® Purifying Cleanser is a professional-grade peptide cleanser specifically formulated for oily, congested, and acne-prone skin. This advanced cream-to-foam cleanser combines 0.5% salicylic acid, Granactive™ Acne Peptide, kaolin and bentonite clays, and soothing botanical extracts to deeply cleanse pores, reduce excess oil, and help minimize blemishes—all while supporting a healthy skin barrier and addressing early signs of aging.

Unlike many acne cleansers that can leave the skin feeling tight, dry, or irritated, Purifying Cleanser delivers a balanced approach by pairing pore-clearing ingredients with calming and hydrating actives. It helps promote healthy cell turnover, reduce acne-causing bacteria, and absorb excess oil while maintaining skin comfort, leaving the complexion feeling clean, refreshed, and balanced rather than stripped.

Its sulfate-free formula creates a rich, creamy lather that effectively removes makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and environmental impurities while helping refine pores and improve overall skin clarity. Suitable for daily use, Purifying Cleanser provides an excellent foundation for professional acne and anti-aging skincare routines.

Professional Insight

Managing oily and acne-prone skin requires more than simply removing excess oil. Over-cleansing or using harsh acne products can compromise the skin barrier, leading to irritation, dehydration, and even increased oil production. HydroPeptide® Purifying Cleanser was developed to deliver professional-level blemish control while maintaining skin balance and supporting long-term skin health.

The combination of 0.5% salicylic acid and Granactive™ Acne Peptide targets congestion and acne-causing bacteria, while kaolin and bentonite clays help absorb excess oil and draw impurities from the pores. To offset the drying effects often associated with acne treatments, the formula incorporates German chamomile and beta-glucan, which help soothe irritation and support the skin's natural barrier.

What sets this cleanser apart is its ability to address both acne and early signs of aging simultaneously. By promoting healthy cell turnover and maintaining a balanced complexion, it helps improve overall skin clarity without sacrificing comfort. The result is skin that feels thoroughly cleansed, smoother, and healthier with continued daily use.
