Exfoliating Cleanser 135 ml
Exfoliating Cleanser - Scientifically formulated for acne-prone teen skin.
A gentle, dermatologically tested gel cleanser that exfoliates without stripping the skin. Scientifically tested to exfoliate and help reduce the look of blackheads, leaving skin feeling fresh, smooth and clarified.
Powered by fruit acids and plant-based surfactants to cleanse effectively, with prebiotic Inulin and Aloe Ferox to support a balanced microbiome, and Marula oil for lightweight, barrier-supporting comfort.
- Lactic Acid: Gently lifts dead skin cells for a smoother texture
- Malic Acid: Helps refine the skin surface and the look of clearer pores
- Aloe Ferox Leaf Extract & Inulin: Prebiotics that support microbiome balance
- Marula Oil & Hydrolysed Jojoba Esters: Hydration and barrier-supporting comfort
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Antioxidant support against external stressors
Scientifically tested: In an instrumental study over 28 days, the Exfoliating Cleanser was shown to exfoliate and help reduce the appearance of blackheads, with 80% of participants noticing an improvement in their skin condition (self-reported, 10 participants).
How to Use: Step 1 in the simple Upenya 3-Step Routine. Apply to wet hands, lather, and massage gently over the face in circular motions with eyes closed. Rinse well and pat dry.
For best results, use twice daily. Visible results typically appear after 4–8 weeks of consistent use. For persistent concerns, consult a skincare professional.

Reviews
I bought the 3 step routine for my teenage daughter (who loves the products) and starting using the cleanser myself. It is by far the best cleanser I have ever used. My skin (and my daughter's!) is glowing.
After years of using Cetaphil, we found Upenya's Exfoliating Cleanser. It is a stunning product that really works. Excellent for sensitive skin.
My teen daughters love this cleanser. They refuse to use anything else. Really great value for money.
A great cleanser. My teens have used it for over a year with excellent results. I started using it myself when my skin flared up, and I couldn’t be happier.
A great cleanser for congested skin with black and white heads. My skin texture improved since starting this cleanser.
