PURE CHEMISTRY

What is a pH-balanced cleanser, and why does it matter?

Healthy skin sits at a slightly acidic pH, usually around 4.7 to 5.7, which keeps the acid mantle and barrier working well. Many foaming cleansers are far more alkaline, which can leave skin tight and disrupt that balance. A pH-balanced cleanser cleans while staying close to skin's natural level. Cleansing Complex is balanced at pH 5.6, so it cleanses and tones in one step while protecting the barrier.

HOW IT WORKS

Clean skin, intact barrier

When a cleanser is too alkaline, skin has to work to restore its natural pH, and that is often when tightness, sensitivity and dryness creep in. Balanced at 5.6, this gel cleanses thoroughly without that disruption. Gentle glycolic and salicylic acids keep skin smooth and pores clear, while the barrier stays supported.

pH-Balanced Cleanser FAQs

What pH is this cleanser?

It is balanced at pH 5.6, close to the skin's own slightly acidic level, so it cleanses thoroughly while keeping the protective barrier intact.

Why does cleanser pH matter?

Skin's barrier and acid mantle work best at a slightly acidic pH. Cleansers that are too alkaline can leave skin tight and disrupt that balance, which over time can show up as dryness and sensitivity. A pH-balanced cleanser avoids that.

Will a pH-balanced cleanser still clean properly?

Yes. Being pH-balanced is about how it cleanses, not how little. It removes make-up, SPF and excess oil fully, then leaves skin soft and comfortable rather than stripped.

Does it cleanse and tone in one step?

It does. Because it is already balanced at pH 5.6, it tones as it cleanses, so you can move straight on to your serum without a separate toner.

Will it suit sensitive or compromised skin?

For most people, yes. Protecting the barrier is exactly what sensitive and compromised skin needs, and the gentle, fragrance-free formula suits reactive and rosacea-prone skin. Patch test first if unsure.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. A barrier-friendly pH is what makes daily cleansing comfortable, so use it morning and night.

Does it contain active acids?

Yes, gentle glycolic and salicylic acids for light resurfacing and pore clearing. They sit within the balanced formula, so you get smoothing benefits without barrier disruption.

Is it good for all skin types?

Yes. Protecting skin's natural pH benefits every skin type, from oily and combination to dry and sensitive.

Your skin. Our science. Pure chemistry.

Cleanse thoroughly, protect your barrier. The pH-balanced cleanser your skin can rely on daily.
