Pore-Cleansing Exfoliating Gel
Code: NC.00.024
Product detailed description
Cleansing your skin in the evening calls for a different approach than a quick morning rinse. Throughout the day, oxidised sebum, dust and SPF residue build up in the pores. These impurities block the skin's natural cell renewal. If you don't remove them thoroughly at night, you risk inflammation and blackheads. Searches for the term “acne” have risen by 33 % year on year. Yet many women avoid acids for fear of a tight, reddened face. This cleansing gel with AHA and BHA acids delivers gentle exfoliation with no stinging — it removes dead cells, unclogs congested pores and fully respects the skin barrier.
How it works
The secret of its gentleness lies in the patented Skinperf® LWG complex. The lamellar gel form of AHA acids (glycolic, lactic, citric) ensures their controlled release. According to the ingredient manufacturer's clinical tests, cell renewal begins within approximately two weeks — without the typical irritation. Glycolic acid has the smallest molecule (2 carbons) — it penetrates the deepest and the fastest. Lactic acid works as a humectant and stimulates ceramide synthesis in the stratum corneum.
The formula is complemented by lipophilic salicylic acid (BHA). It penetrates the lipid barrier directly into the pores, comedolytically dissolves plugs of oxidised sebum (blackheads) and has an anti-inflammatory effect. A study for the FDA (Kornhauser, 2009) confirms that BHA does not increase the skin's phototoxicity.
Soothing and regeneration are handled by Reforcyl-AION, an extract from the oil pumpkin. According to the ingredient manufacturer's clinical tests, it improves skin barrier function by 10 %, increases hydration by 15 %, boosts skin firmness by 8 %, reduces redness and minimises pores.
Who it's for
The gel suits women with oily or combination skin troubled by congested pores and blemishes. The formula is especially helpful for those wary of aggressive products who still remember an unpleasant stinging sensation from the past. The texture, free of abrasive particles, doesn't disturb the skin's surface. It offers a safe way to reduce blemishes, even out texture and restore clear pores.
How to use
The order of your skincare steps matters more for the result than the brand on the bottle. Acids belong in your evening routine. Apply a small amount of gel to damp skin, massage in gently and then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For the first two weeks, we recommend using it 2–3 times a week. Once your skin has adjusted, you can move on to daily evening cleansing. If you alternate the gel with retinol or Bakuchiol, apply each on a different evening.
The correct order of your evening routine:
- Make-up Remover (removes make-up and SPF)
- Pore-Cleansing Exfoliating Gel
- Optionally the AHA/BHA/PHA Face Toner from the nanoSPACE Cosmetics line — the ideal addition for more intensive care
- Serums
- Night cream
When using AHA acids, applying SPF protection every morning is an absolute must — the newly revealed skin needs protection from UV radiation. Our mineral powdered sunscreen SPF 50 is the perfect match — the mineral filter won't irritate skin after acids, and you can easily top up protection even over make-up.
