    Refining Cleanser

    4.8
    Rated 4.8 out of 5 stars

    Formerly Treatment Cleanser, now refreshed + reimagined with the same science-backed, efficacious formula.

    4 fl oz | 118 mL

    Minimizes pores and brightens skin with LACTIC ACID + PHLORETIN actives for strategic and thoughtful exfoliation.

    This cleanser addresses microbial dysbiosis and congestion while respecting lipid balance, making it beneficial for both symptomatic and mature skin. Beta hydroxy acids clear clogged pores and smoothes skin while PHA hydroxy acids boost ceramide production necessary to maintain good barrier function. Regular use promotes even texture + tone, enhanced skin function, and helps prevent visible signs of premature aging such as hyperpigmentation and fine lines.

    Who It’s For:

    Skin experiencing congestion, breakouts, uneven texture.

    Mature skin with reduced barrier function or irregular texture, dullness.

    Those seeking an exfoliating cleanser that preserves lipid integrity and microbial balance.

    Benefits

    Removes buildup and keratinized debris without over-stripping.

    Refines skin texture and normalizes desquamation.

    Supports microbial diversity and reduces vulnerability of dysbiosis.

    Addresses aging hallmarks: inflammation, barrier and microbiome dysfunction.

    Prepares skin for improved absorption of topical actives.

    Adzuki bean powder, colloidal oat flour and rice bran provide physical exfoliation as opposed to microplastic beads commonly used in traditional exfoliators.

    Ingredients

    WILLOW BARK contains salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that clears clogged pores by dissolving skin protein from the outside in. Our most effective acne-fighter.

    LACTIC ACID An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that effectively exfoliates, while providing anti-aging benefits such as increasing production of natural ceramides to hold in moisture. Lactic acid also helps lighten post-acne hyper pigmentation.

    APPLE CIDER VINEGAR A natural antimicrobial and antiseptic toner, also contains valuable alpha-hydroxy acids that balance your skin's natural pH levels. By restoring your skin's pH balance, it helps ward off bacteria so pores are unblocked and breakouts are prevented.

    PHLORETIN A bioflavonoid found mostly in apples (and apple cider vinegar) has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties that new studies show effectively fights acne.

      Perfect cleanser

      I love Marie's Refining Cleanser. This product will always be a keeper in my foundational regimen no matter what products I'm using at the moment. I recommend anyone try it if they truly want a product that works, and feels good to use.

      Great product, too much for my skin

      I am a big MV fan and use everything from the cleansers to the serums and moisturizing oils. And my skin is amazing. I was using another brand for a daily gentle, exfoliating cleanser and decided to give this one a try. Unfortunately, the lactic acid seems to be too much for my skin as it's leaving it red, dry, and irritated. It took me a few days to figure out it was the cleanser. It may be because I am using the retinol at night or just that I'm sensitive to the lactic acid. I do think it's a fine product and maybe it will be okay for me if I use once or twice a week versus daily. I have gifted the remaining to my daughter, so she is going to give it a try and see how she does with it. She is looking to refine her pores.

      First cleanser that I've seen results with

      This cleanser is reminicent of the Probiotic Mask and in this formulation gives my skin exfoliation and also so much brightness without feeling at all dry. Love it.

      I love it.

      It feels cleansing and nourishing at once. The exfoliation is refreshing, not stripping. I use it daily and love it so much!
