iS Clinical Cleansing Complex | Multi-Action Gel Cleanser for All Skin Types
Most cleansers do one thing well. The iS Clinical Cleansing Complex does five simultaneously. At a pH of 5.6, this lightweight gel cleanser deep-cleans pores, gently exfoliates, soothes inflammation, delivers antioxidant protection and strengthens the skin barrier with every single use. It is powerful enough for oily and acne-prone skin and gentle enough for hypersensitive and reactive skin, making it one of the most genuinely universal cleansers in professional skincare.
Who is Cleansing Complex best for?
- All skin types wanting a single daily cleanser that does meaningful skincare work beyond cleaning
- Oily, congested and acne-prone skin needing deep pore cleansing with anti-inflammatory support
- Sensitive and reactive skin that cannot tolerate most cleansers
- Post-procedure skin wanting a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser that does not disrupt recovery
- Those on GLP-1 medications experiencing skin sensitivity changes wanting a reliable, barrier-supportive daily cleanser
- The foundation cleanser for any iS Clinical routine
Key ingredients and why they matter
- Willow Bark Extract (natural Salicylic Acid BHA): Penetrates pores to exfoliate from within, refine pore appearance and calm the inflammation that drives both acne and skin sensitivity
- Sugar Cane Extract (natural Glycolic Acid AHA): Gently resurfaces the skin's surface with each cleanse for progressively smoother, more radiant skin without dedicated exfoliation steps
- Centella Asiatica (Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid): One of the most clinically studied wound-healing and anti-inflammatory botanicals. Strengthens and repairs the skin barrier while calming redness and inflammation with every use
- Chamomile Extract: Soothes, reduces redness and provides antiseptic and antimicrobial benefits throughout cleansing
- Vitamins A, C and E: Antioxidant complex that protects against free radical damage and supports skin renewal
- Green Tea Extract: Additional antioxidant and antimicrobial support
How we use Cleansing Complex at Face for Soul
As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, Cleansing Complex is the iS Clinical product I recommend to almost every patient as their daily cleanser regardless of skin type. Its pH of 5.6 is skin-compatible, it does not strip the barrier, and the botanical AHA and BHA content means the cleansing step contributes to resurfacing and pore clarity rather than just removing dirt. I also recommend it as the first post-procedure cleanser once the skin is ready to return to normal routine, as the Centella Asiatica content provides meaningful barrier and healing support during recovery.
Build your iS Clinical routine around it
Use Cleansing Complex morning and evening as the first step. The leave-on 1 to 2 minute mini-mask technique before rinsing provides additional gentle exfoliation for congested skin. Follow with your iS Clinical treatment serum, moisturiser and SPF in the morning. For oily skin wanting more intensive exfoliating cleansing, the Cleansing Complex Polish alternated in the evening provides dual physical and chemical exfoliation.
