Why does 50 ml cost this much?<\/h3>\n

It costs more than a cleansing gel, yes. The price reflects the formula, a demanding, partly manual production process (we fill every jar by hand) and a series of instrumental studies. Each one measured a single parameter: pores, skin tone, smoothness, sebum. We ran them on oily, combination and dry skin, once with Cleanser alone and once paired with Cream. You’re paying for something that works, and works fast: \u221239% visible pores after 7 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour products really do work. My skin is properly clean and the inflammation is calming down.\u201d \u2013 Justyna B.<\/p>\n

Is it suitable for dry skin?<\/h3>\n

Yes. We tested it on dry skin together with Cream. After 7 days, hydration rose by 15% and wrinkles were reduced by 17%.<\/p>\n

I have oily skin. Won’t an oil cleanser make it oilier?<\/h3>\n

In the study with Cream on oily and combination skin, sebum dropped by 10% in 7 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first I was a bit wary of the texture, as my skin is fairly oily (\u2026). After just a week (\u2026) my skin is much less oily, (\u2026) pores are less visible. (\u2026) my make-up looks better and lasts longer.\u201d \u2013 Zuza<\/p>\n

Does it remove make-up?<\/h3>\n

Yes, all of it, including around the eyes.<\/p>\n

Why a balm and not a gel?<\/h3>\n

A gel is water-based. There’s no water here, just concentrate. That’s why a small jar lasts four weeks and takes up little room in your make-up bag. The balm melts into an oil under your fingers. The texture may surprise you at first.<\/p>\n

During pregnancy and breastfeeding?<\/h3>\n

Yes. More: Which ingredients to avoid in pregnancy<\/a> and Skincare while breastfeeding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After a treatment?<\/h3>\n

Follow your specialist’s advice. After treatments that break the skin, the person who carried out the treatment decides when you can return to your routine.<\/p>\n

Can it replace a professional deep-cleansing facial?<\/h3>\n

The mechanism is different. In a salon, a device cleans the skin. Here, rice and bamboo micro-particles and oils do it, every day at home. The goal is the same. After 7 days of Smoothing Cleanser alone: \u221239% visible pores, +21% even skin tone, +17% smoothness. With Cream on oily and combination skin, also \u221210% sebum and +15% hydration.<\/p>\n

Why is there a preservative if there’s no water?<\/h3>\n

Rice and bamboo micro-particles bind moisture from the air. The preservative protects the product from it. It’s the only ingredient that doesn’t work directly on the skin.<\/p>\n

I have acne or skin lesions. Can I use it?<\/h3>\n

If your skin is affected by a skin condition, or you’re following a treatment prescribed by a doctor, email Aleksandra first.<\/p>\n

Not sure it’s right for me.<\/h3>\n
