Feierabend’s Purifying Cleansing Crème was specifically designed for the needs of those with problem skin. Unlike our Breakout Buster Cleanser, it does not contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids, so it is mild enough to be used by all skin types.

It is an incredibly absorbent, refreshing one-step cleanser. It's packed with vitamins, oils & botanical extracts that will moisturize so as not to destroy your lipid barrier, while activated charcoal deeply cleans all the bacteria away. It works amazingly well for all skin types.

Aloe, green tea, white tea and rooibos tea combine to produce a soothing effect on the skin. Rooibos is a powerful player in the team of antioxidants this cleanser brings to your skin. Recently, Japanese scientists found that rooibos tea contains a mimic of the enzyme Super Oxide Dismutase (S.O.D.) which is an antioxidant that attacks the free radicals and limits their damaging effects on the skin. Green and white tea are both powerful antioxidants.

It does not contain the typical surfactants that most cleansers contain. It is composed of oils and fats which are mild and effective cleansing agents. All oils and fats are a mixture of triglycerides with a different fatty acid attached. To further explain, an oil molecule is formed from one glycerin molecule and three fatty acid molecules. All fatty acid molecules are lipophilic and hydrophilic. Lipophilic means that it has a great affinity for oil. Hydrophilic means that it has a great affinity for water.

The hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water which helps the water "wet" the surface to be cleaned, permitting the water to reach more of the surface. With out the "wetting" assistance of the hydrophilic molecules, the product would bead up on the skin and not soak the surface. The lipophilic molecules act like a magnet and are attracted to dirt and oils. They embed into the dirt and remove it. The lipophilic molecules show an affinity toward oil and the molecules squeeze together in an attempt to escape water. The action of the hydrophilic molecules and the lipophilic molecules allows the cleanser to break the surface tension and forces water into the skin, allowing it to and remove the dirt and oils beyond your skin surface.

Directions: Cleanse face in the morning and evening. Splash your face generously with tepid to slightly warm water. Apply a small amount of cleanser onto your clean fingertips. Lather it on your fingertips first and then gently wash face using circular and upward motions. Wash for approximately 30 seconds for dry or sensitive skin, 60 seconds for normal/combination skin and 90 seconds for oily skin. Rinse well with tepid to slightly warm water. Pat (do not rub) face dry with a clean towel. Feierabend’s Purifying Facial Cleansing Crème is ideal for combination, oily, acneic or blemished skin types.
