DR Levy Switzerland 3 Deep Cell Renewal Micro Resurfacing Cleanser
£39.00 Quick ViewDR Levy Switzerland 3 Deep Cell Renewal Micro Resurfacing Cleanser

The Lowdown: The best cleanser I’ve tried to date, this gel wash contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids to gently ‘unglue’ the bonds of surface dead skin cells and brown rice particles, which help to mechanically get rid of dirt, pollutants and makeup. The micro-particles are incredibly soft and dissolve on skin so don’t aggravate sensitivities like broken capillaries. After just one wash, you’ll notice softer, brighter skin. Also if you use this, you don’t need a separate exfoliator as it does that job for you.

This particular product is one of the most effective I have tried to date and smells great too (quite citrusy). It contains Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a super stable form of vitamin C plus soothing Vitamin E – it helps boost cell turnover for younger-looking skin and is completely non-comedogenic,( meaning it won’t clog pores). It sinks into skin effortlessly, layers seamlessly under any moisturizers or make up you want to put on top, leaving a radiant glow.
