iS Clinical Cleansing Complex

Yes, iS Clinical Cleansing Complex is excellent for acne-prone skin. The formula contains willow bark extract (a natural form of salicylic acid) which helps refine pores and control breakouts, whilst sugarcane-derived glycolic acid gently exfoliates to prevent congestion. The cleanser thoroughly purifies without over-drying, making it ideal for blemish-prone complexions.

iS Clinical Cleansing Complex is formulated to be gentle enough for even hypersensitive skin types. The botanical-based AHAs and BHAs provide mild exfoliation without irritation, whilst chamomile and Centella Asiatica soothe and comfort the skin. Many users with sensitive, reactive skin find it's one of the few cleansers that effectively cleanses without causing redness or discomfort.

Yes, this cleanser is very effective at removing makeup, including foundation and daily SPF. For heavy-duty waterproof eye makeup, you may wish to use a dedicated eye makeup remover first, then follow with Cleansing Complex. The gel formula thoroughly cleanses without leaving any residue.

The 180ml bottle typically lasts several months with twice-daily use. A small amount goes a long way—you only need a pea-sized amount for each cleanse. This makes it excellent value despite the premium price point.

Yes, Cleansing Complex works well as part of a routine that includes active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, or prescription treatments. Because it's a rinse-off product that doesn't stay on the skin, the gentle exfoliating acids won't interfere with your other products. It actually helps prepare skin to better absorb subsequent serums and treatments.

The willow bark extract helps control excess oil and refine pores, whilst the thorough cleansing action removes impurities without triggering additional oil production. Many users notice their skin appears less shiny and more balanced with regular use.

Yes, Cleansing Complex is safe for use with eyelash extensions. The gentle formula won't break down the adhesive used for extensions. Many users appreciate that they can thoroughly cleanse around their eye area without damaging their lash investments.

This versatile cleanser addresses multiple skin concerns including enlarged pores, uneven texture, dullness, congestion, and excess oil. The gentle exfoliating action helps improve skin clarity and radiance over time, whilst the antioxidant-rich formula supports overall skin health. It's also effective for those dealing with blackheads and surface impurities.

According to iS Clinical, their products are non-systemic, meaning they are not absorbed into the bloodstream. The brand states that their products (with the exception of Prodigy Peels) are considered safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The willow bark in this cleanser is a very gentle, botanical form of salicylic acid at low concentrations. However, as with any skincare product, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using new products during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding.
