- Q
Will my skin go through a purge state before seeing results?
- Asked by Alo
- Official Answer By ExuvianceTypically when using products that contain active ingredients, your skin will draw bacteria to the surface resulting in a "breakout". however, Purifying gel Cleanser contains PHA's and glycolic acid, focusing on lifting away makeup and surface impurities without drying. This cleanser also helps improve skin texture and leaves skin feeling clean, pristine and purified. Since this isn't a targeted treatment, there should be a noticeable "purge state".

- Q
I bought the Purifying Cleansing Gel at the recommendation of an Ulta employee. She said that I could use this all over, even my eyes to remove makeup. I just noticed that the disclaimer on the website states to keep away from eye area. Is it ok to use for removing makeup and cleaning eye area?
- Asked by Makeup Junkie
- Official Answer By ExuvianceExuviance Purifying Cleansing Gel is dermatologist and allergy tested, but is not ophthalmologist-tested. We recommend avoiding the eye area. Moisten hands and face. Apply product onto fingertips and massage onto face and neck using an upward circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, and pat dry. Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Creme is a creamy cleanser more suitable for sensitive skin.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this safe to use during pregnancy?
- Asked by Kelly
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertThere are no known safety concerns with using cosmetic products during pregnancy. However, Exuviance recommends that all pregnant and lactating women, or those currently planning to become pregnant, seek the advice of their physician if there are specific concerns regarding use of skin care products.

- Q
I have really bad acne,congested pores. should I use the Purifying cleanser or the clarifying cleanser
- Asked by Oddie
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertFor your skin concerns, we'd recommend Exuviance Clarifying Facial Cleanser. It's a soap-free cleanser, specifically created for problematic skin. This foaming formula dissolves impurities such as makeup, dirt and excess oil and reduces bacteria that can trigger a breakout. A blend of Salicylic and Mandelic Acids exfoliates pores to clarify and help control oiliness, while the antiaging Polyhydroxy Acid formulation helps maintain skin's natural pH balance.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I recently bought this product and I'm wondering if I should switch to the gentle cleansing cream. For about two weeks , twice a day morning and night I've washed my face with the purifying gel then use the soothing toner followed by the protective day cream during the day and hydrogel night cream at night. At first my face broke out which I think was the purging because it seems to clear day by day and my skin has a glow to it but my skin is peeling horrible it's like a desert . Not sure which product is causing the dryness . Should I switch to the gentle cleansing cream? Will switching just that product in my regimine aid with the dry flakey skin I'm having ? Please help . My skin seems to be improving but the dryness is terrible
- Asked by Mary
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertTo address the dryness you're experiencing, we recommend reducing the frequency of use. Try using Exuviance Soothing Toning Lotion once per day, or every other day. If your dryness persists, try reducing usage of Exuviance Purifying Cleansing Gel to once a day or incorporating Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Cream.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Is this line as a whole cruelty free?
- Asked by Angelique
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertExuviance does not use raw materials derived from "specified risk materials" of animals, including cows (bovine) or other ruminants and, therefore, there is no Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) risk. In addition, Exuviance does not use any ingredients derived from sheep (ovine), pigs (porcine), or goats (caprine). Exuviance may use certain ingredients that are produced by animals, for example, beeswax (produced by bees), lanolin (found in the wool of sheep), lactobionic acid (oxidized form of cow's milk sugar/lactose), silk (from the cocoon of the silkworm) and N-acetyl glucosamine, (an ingredient derived from the shells of marine animals) which are a bi-product of the food industry. There is no risk of BSE transmission from these materials as well. Exuviance does not conduct animal testing or solicit animal testing on our behalf, except where required by law, for its marketed skin care products including the Exuviance and CoverBlend brands. All routine product safety and claim support testing is carried out on human volunteers or using in vitro models.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will this product help prevent whiteheads
- Asked by lily
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertExuviance Purifying Cleansing Gel does offer a deep clean to remove impurities but we would recommend Exuviance Moisturizing Antibacterial Facial Cleanser for help with more oily/acne-prone skin. Our Antiabacterial Cleanser reaches deep into pores to dissolve impurities and help reduce problematic bacteria.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
What's the difference between this and the moisturizing antibacterial wash?
- Asked by Ash
- Verified Reply - Staff ExpertThe two cleansers are similar. Both feature a foaming gel formula that is suitable for all skin types and are formulated with AHAs to brighten skin, improve skin texture, and combat the signs of aging. Exuviance Purifying Cleansing Gel is formulated with Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Gluconolactone (PHA), while Moisturizing Antibacterial Wash is formulated with Gluconolactone (PHA) alone. Moisturizing Antibacterial Wash is especially ideal for acne-prone skin, as it helps reduce problematic bacteria.Was this answer helpful to you

Love it!
I started using this product about 2 years ago and really liked it - it felt good, worked well, and lasted for a long time. For some reason that I cannot remember (maybe the store was out of this at the time, maybe curiosity took over) I decided to try out the Exuviance moisturizing antibacterial fa...

Not impressed
I used this product until it was almost out and I've got to say, for the price margin, I was not impressed. My skin stayed relatively the same (acne prone, hyperpigmentation) and I found it a bit drying. It is supposed to be natural but I didnt like the smell. I found the gel texture to be some what...

best cleanser I've tried
I usually have normal to.oily skin prone to breakouts and I have enlarged pores from not taking the right care of them for years. this cleanser is so good for clearing, preventing breakouts, non gritty exfoliation does the trick to minimize pores and even skin. it's a must have for me!
Very drying to skin
I have combination/oily skin. It has a clean cucumber scent however, it really dries my akin and left it feeling less than totally clean and made my akin have a rough texture
Highly Recommend!!
I have combination skin, and a nice associate at Ulta recommended this product to me. I have very confused skin, and all products I have used in the past strip my skin and make it flaky. Since I have been using this continuously for four months, my skin texture has improved so much and cleared tremendously.
Did not work and was drying
I was using the Exuviance's face wash for oily skin, which I liked, but switched to this. I have acne-prone dry skin and wanted something less drying. This made my face breakout in small red bumps/pimples and they've only gotten worse. My skin is drier too! It does however feel cleansing to use and gets off any makeup. This could work for other people but it didn't for me!
Best cleanser I have ever used
I love this cleanser! This stuff works like nobodys business! My skin texture and tone has improved tremendously. I will be repurchasing when i run out.
