Clear Pores. Smooth Skin. Healthy Balance.

Breakouts don't begin on the surface.

They begin when excess oil, dead skin cells and impurities become trapped inside the pore.

Sweet Orange Exfoliating Cleanser gently removes that buildup with perfectly smooth jojoba beads while a refreshing botanical cleansing system washes away excess oil without stripping your skin. The result is a complexion that feels clean, smooth and balanced—not dry or tight.

✔ Gently exfoliates without scratching

✔ Helps remove dead skin that can contribute to congestion

✔ Leaves pores feeling cleaner

✔ Smooths rough texture

✔ Helps balance oily and combination skin

✔ Fresh citrus aroma from pure essential oil

✔ COSMOS Natural Certified

The Perfect Facial Exfoliant

Your face deserves more than a body scrub in disguise. That's why we use perfectly spherical jojoba beads instead of crushed nut shells or fruit pits. Their smooth, rounded surface glides across the skin, gently lifting away dull surface cells without scratching delicate facial tissue. Because the beads are biodegradable and melt away naturally over time, they're also kinder to the environment.

What's Inside

  • Jojoba Beads

    Unlike crushed nut shells, fruit pits or other irregular particles that can have sharp edges, jojoba beads are perfectly smooth and spherical. As they glide across the skin, they gently lift away dry surface cells without scratching or creating unnecessary friction.

  • Aloe Vera

    Naturally rich in polysaccharides that help replenish moisture while soothing the skin. Its lightweight hydration leaves the complexion feeling calm, refreshed and comfortable, helping prevent the tight, dry feeling often associated with exfoliating cleansers.

  • Witch Hazel Hydrosol

    Naturally rich in tannins and antioxidant plant compounds, it helps refine the appearance of pores, leave the complexion feeling balanced, and support clearer-looking skin—all without the drying effects of traditional alcohol-based toners.

  • Sweet Orange Essential Oil

    Naturally rich in limonene, it helps dissolve excess surface oils while leaving the skin feeling exceptionally fresh and clean. Its bright citrus aroma transforms cleansing into an energizing ritual that awakens both your skin and your senses.

How To Use

Apply to wet skin (face and neck), gently lather. Massage 30–60 seconds (avoid eye area). Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use 3–4× per week or nightly if your skin tolerates it. Follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer.

FAQs

Q: Will this scratch or irritate my skin?
A: No — the formula uses smooth jojoba beads that won't cause microtears or compromise your skin's barrier. If your skin is reactive, patch test and reduce frequency.

Q: Will it be too strong to use daily?
A: Start with 3–4 times per week. If skin shows no irritation, you may increase frequency. Always monitor and adjust.

Q: Can it help with uneven tone or texture?
A: Yes — over time, gentle exfoliation and citrus actives help reveal smoother, brighter skin.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes, it's a gentle formula.

Q: Does it foam heavily?
A: It produces a light gel lather — not heavy foam, which matches its gentle profile.

Best exfoliating cleanser!

I absolutely love this product! It is definitely my go to exfoliating cleaner. It has great exfoliating power while still being super gentle on my sensitive skin. The smell is also lovely which is a bonus!

Great Stuff

I bought mine at an online pharmacy well.ca, here is that review: except I forgot to mention I ordered two more! Title: Great stuff (user bradleyyyz) Cleanses without that tight dry feeling, smells good enough to eat ( this doesn't mean you do or try), and just feels good to use a more natural product. I'd recommend to anyone.

Pump

I love the product itself but this is the second pump in a row that is clogged from the exfoliant.

Love the sweet orange exfoliant cleanser

I love the smell and feel of the product. It’s been great. I have had issues with the pump clogging due to the exfoliant beads. As a result, I have had to unwind the top.

Love Love Love

This is a great cleanser. Especially for the summer months you feel so clean after but not stripped of natural oils. The jojoba beads that act as an exfoliant are perfect and great for every day use I don’t feel that my skin is over exfoliated or irritated in anyway.

So fresh and so clean (clean)

First of all...the SMELL of the sweet orange line is so fresh! I LOVE waking up to this cleanser. The exfoliants are just enough that you get a good scrub, but gentle enough for my sensitive skin. Have I mentioned the smell?!

Amazing cleanser for combo/oily skin

I just recently tried this product prior to it I was just using the regular sweet orange cleaning gel. I figured I would try this because of my combination skin. I do tend to get oily at the end of the day. Sometimes I wear makeup, or sunscreen so at the end of the day I like that really deep clean. My skin is sensitive and the beads don't irritate my skin at all. I absolutely love this cleanser the only down side is that it's such a small bottle so it doesn't last me very long.

Fresh and Clean

This cleanser is perfect, especially for summer. It has a gentle but effective exfoliating effect. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and ready for my Rosey cheeks cream and oil. The smell of this cleanser is an added bonus but may be my favourite part. It’s so fresh!

So refreshing!

I love the Sweet Orange Exfoliating Gel Cleanser! I have oily skin that is also prone to acne and breakouts. Previously, I was using the non exfoliating orange gel cleaner and while I did really like it, I do think the exfoliating version is better suited for my skin - it really helps clear up my breakouts! It doesn't feel like it's going to exfoliate well, though it honestly does. I've used rougher exfoliating cleansers that feel really gritty on your face and leave your skin kind of red for a bit after (for me at least) and this one does not feel like that at all. AND my skin feels soft and clear after, no more dead and rough skin patches!
