ANTI-TOXIN CLEANSER - EXFOLIATING

Sale price$75.00
Surgeon-formulated to cleanse without disturbing the barrier skin needs to age well.
WHAT IT DOES Dead cells accumulate faster than your skin can shed them — dulling your complexion and making every product afterward less effective. This cleanser foams into a full cleanse while skin-kind AHAs dissolve what no longer belongs. Coconut oil provides gentle slip so the exfoliation never irritates.
CREATED FOR Skin that has lost its glow — dull, textured, and hiding under layers of dead cells.

Why It Exfoliates Smarter

A cleanse that goes further without going too far. Exfoliation calibrated to clear congestion while the barrier stays intact.

From Dr. Koo

Most exfoliating cleansers are blunt instruments — they dissolve the barrier along with the dead cells. I formulated this with the same principle I apply in surgery: the minimum effective intervention. Dual AHAs at the concentration skin responds to. Coconut oil creating slip so exfoliation glides instead of drags. Precision where it matters. Restraint where the barrier depends on it.

— Dr. Michele Koo

<strong>Lactic + Glycolic Acid</strong> — Dual AHAs that dissolve dead cells and refine texture at the concentration tissue responds to — without the damage of harsh physical scrubs.

<strong>Coconut Oil</strong> — Creates gentle slip during the cleanse. Exfoliation with protection instead of friction.

<strong>Free Amino Acids</strong> — A registered blend of glycine, arginine, alanine, and eight other amino acids. Repair and strengthen the barrier during the cleansing process.

<strong>Eucalyptus + Spearmint + Peppermint</strong> — Dr. Koo’s signature botanical blend. Inspired by Aspen. Never synthetic fragrance.

FAQ

The Polishing Cleanser uses lava pumice plus AHAs — mechanical and chemical together. The Exfoliating Cleanser uses dual AHAs alone with coconut oil for slip. Choose Polishing for texture and dullness. Choose Exfoliating for congestion and cell turnover.

Lactic acid and glycolic acid, dosed at the concentration where clinical studies show tissue response — the concentration where skin shows meaningful response — not a decorative trace amount.

In this formula, no. The coconut oil provides slip during the cleansing process — it rinses completely. It is not left on skin. Its role is protective: reducing friction so the AHAs exfoliate without irritation.

Yes, with spacing. Use the Exfoliating Cleanser in the evening, retinol on alternate nights. Both are active — layering them simultaneously can over-sensitize. Dr. Koo’s protocol separates them for maximum benefit without barrier compromise.

Dr. Koo formulated this with the same principle she applies in surgery: the minimum effective intervention. Every active is dosed where tissue responds — not more, not less. The result is exfoliation that clears what it should and stops where it should not.
