iS Clinical Cleansing Complex Polish | Dual-Action Exfoliating Cleanser
The exfoliating upgrade on iS Clinical's bestselling Cleansing Complex. Where the original provides mild biochemical exfoliation through botanical extracts, the Polish adds eco-friendly, biodegradable microparticles of Cellulose and Jojoba Esters for physical buffing alongside the botanical Salicylic Acid from White Willow Bark and Glycolic Acid from Sugarcane Extract. The result is dual physical and chemical exfoliation in a single daily cleanser that leaves skin visibly smoother, clearer and more refined after every use.
Who is Cleansing Complex Polish best for?
- Oily, congested and acne-prone skin needing thorough exfoliating cleansing daily
- Rough, uneven or dull skin wanting texture refinement as part of the cleansing step
- Those wanting dual physical and chemical exfoliation without separate products
- Those wanting more intensive cleansing than the standard Cleansing Complex provides
- Post-procedure maintenance once skin has fully recovered and daily exfoliation can resume
Key ingredients and why they matter
- Cellulose and Jojoba Esters: Eco-friendly, biodegradable physical exfoliants that smooth and polish without microplastics or environmental harm
- White Willow Bark (Salicylic Acid BHA): Penetrates pores to exfoliate from within, deeply cleanse congestion and reduce blemishes
- Sugarcane Extract (Glycolic Acid AHA): Resurfaces the skin's surface for a progressively more even and radiant complexion
- Centella Asiatica: Potent anti-inflammatory and wound-healing botanical that soothes and supports barrier integrity throughout the exfoliating process
- Chamomile Extract: Calms and soothes throughout
- Vitamins A, C and E: Antioxidant complex that protects and supports skin renewal
How we use Cleansing Complex Polish at Face for Soul
As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, Cleansing Complex Polish is the iS Clinical cleanser I recommend for patients with oily, congested or significantly texture-prone skin who want their daily cleansing step to contribute actively to exfoliation. The biodegradable physical exfoliants combined with botanical AHAs and BHAs mean this is a genuinely multitasking daily cleanser rather than a weekly scrub. For most patients, I recommend the standard Cleansing Complex as the daily cleanser and the Polish alternated in the evening for additional texture refinement.

Use as your morning or evening cleanser, or alternated with the iS Clinical Cleansing Complex for daily and enhanced-exfoliation days. Follow with your iS Clinical treatment serum, moisturiser and iS Clinical Extreme Protect SPF 40 or Eclipse SPF 50+ in the morning.
