Fruity Exfo 3% Cleanser
A *gentle exfoliating cleanser using a 3% strength Beta-hydroxy Acid. Along with exfoliation, this cleanser helps to adjust the pH of the skin, as well as Zemea offers a film-forming barrier to help protect the skin.
Method of Application
Dispense about a dime to nickel size amount of cleanser into the palm of your hand, drip warm/hot water into your palm then rub hands together to emulsify. Pat into skin, wipe off gently with a wet, warm cotton or bamboo clean washcloth.
Do not massage into your skin. Only cleanse in the A.M. if necessary.
*While this cleanser is much more gentle than other cleansers on the market in this same category, we do not suggest this for Sensitive or Rosacea Prone Skin Profiles.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator.
Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place.
Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated.
Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove
what you need and keep the rest in the fridge.
Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years.
Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location.
Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place.
Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc.
will all have a different shelf life.

I use this cleanser most evening! It has nice clean ingredients and does a great job. I like that it is a mild exfoliant. I have not had any sensitivity.
We are glad to hear this! Do consider taking a break a couple
of nights a week as it does exfoliate so your skin will appreciate the break.

I have super sensitive skin that gets irritated much too easily; there are some cosmetic ingredients that I can't even look at it without erupting in hives, or turning red like a sunburnt tomato. I liked the ingredients here, especially the BHA and PHA combo, and the low pH, and took a chance on a small size of this cleanser thinking it might irritate my skin a bit but do a good job in terms of gentle exfoliation. I was thrilled with how well this does the job and how somehow it does not irritate my skin at all! I can't tell if all by itself it can remove the mineral sunscreen I wear, since I usually use cleansing oil first, but it definitively leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth, and not pinched and dry like most cleaners I ever used. I have repurchased it in larger size and plan to keep buying it. I hope this never gets disconnected or drastically reformulated. This is a stellar product and now a must have item in the line up of products in my skincare routine.
Glad you are liking this! thank you :)
I love to use the cleanser in the mornings a few times a week to keep my skin nice and exfoliated. It can remove makeup though. I’ve used it a few times with a full face of makeup on and it’s removed all of easily. This cleanser is extremely gentle and has a very slight lavender scent. I don’t get any stinging or burning from the fruit acids. My skin is very smooth after using this cleanser. I rotate this with the GoW Gentle Cleansing Gel.
Thank you so much for this review!
