Ekseption Salicylic Powder Cleanse & Peel 45 g

Ekseption Salicylic Powder Cleanse & Peel is a concentrated cleansing powder with exfoliating action. When mixed with water, it transforms into a rich, creamy foam that cleanses the skin and helps remove accumulated surface cells, excess oil and superficial impurities.

The formula contains 0.5% salicylic acid, an oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that can work inside sebum-rich pores. It helps reduce congested pores, blackheads, shine and blemishes. Papain, an enzyme derived from papaya, supports surface exfoliation and helps rough or dull skin look smoother and fresher.

Sorbitol helps retain moisture and reduce the tight feeling that can follow intensive cleansing. The water-free powder formula is concentrated, fragrance-free and contains no preservatives, sulphates or PEGs.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Salicylic acid 0.5%

An oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that helps loosen oil and accumulated skin cells inside the pores. It supports the care of blackheads, blemishes and oily skin.

Papain 0.7%

A natural exfoliating enzyme derived from papaya. It helps loosen dry and dull surface cells without the need for abrasive scrub particles.

Sorbitol

A humectant sugar alcohol that helps retain water in the skin and supports a softer, more comfortable feeling after cleansing.

Gentle cleansing agents

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate produce a creamy foam with water and cleanse without traditional sulphates.

SUITABLE FOR

• Acne-prone and blemish-prone skin.

• Normal skin with congested pores.
• Blackheads.
• Enlarged-looking pores.
• Excess oil production.
• Rough or irregular texture.

It is less suitable for daily use on very dry, highly sensitive or reactive skin. Do not use on broken skin or in cases of a known salicylate allergy.

DIRECTIONS

1. Wet the hands.

2. Pour a small amount of powder into the palm.

3. Rub the hands together and add a few drops of water if required.

4. Work the powder into a creamy foam.

5. Apply the foam to a damp face.

6. Massage gently in circular movements for no longer than one minute.

7. Avoid the eyes, lips and broken skin.

8. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

9. Pat the skin dry.

10. Follow with serum and moisturiser.

11. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.

Do not rub the dry powder directly over the skin as a granular scrub.

RECOMMENDED FREQUENCY

Begin two or three times per week. For oily or acne-prone skin, gradually increase to once daily if well tolerated.

Twice-daily use is unnecessary for most skin types. Reduce the frequency if redness, dryness, tightness or flaking develops.

REMOVING MAKEUP AND SUNSCREEN

When wearing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, first use a gentle makeup remover or cleansing balm. Follow with Salicylic Powder Cleanse & Peel as the second, exfoliating cleanse.

Do not use it to remove eye makeup. Use Ultim-Eyes & Lips Cleanser instead.

MORNING ROUTINE

1. Salicylic Powder Cleanse & Peel when daily use is tolerated.

2. Matcha Tea Mist or a gentle toner.

3. Hyaluronic ZnPCA Mixlab Serum or a suitable hydrating serum.

4. Lightweight moisturiser.

5. All-Day Shield SPF 50.

EVENING ROUTINE

1. Remove makeup and sunscreen.

2. Cleanse and exfoliate with Salicylic Powder Cleanse & Peel.

3. Apply a hydrating or sebum-balancing serum.

4. Finish with a lightweight, non-drying moisturiser.

COMBINES WELL WITH

• Ultim-Eyes & Lips Cleanser for eye makeup.
• Matcha Tea Mist for oily or combination skin.
• Monsoon Mist for dehydration.
• Hyaluronic ZnPCA Mixlab Serum for excess oil and visible pores.
• Glacier Repair or a lightweight moisturiser.
• All-Day Shield SPF 50.

USE CAUTION WHEN COMBINING WITH

• Super Salicylic Fluid.
• Retin-Oil Booster.
• Super Retinol Fluid.
• Ferulic, PHA, Pure Skin or Caviar Activator.
• Triple Acid Peeling Mask.
• Other AHA, BHA or PHA products.
• Benzoyl peroxide.
• Abrasive scrubs and professional peels.

Avoid using several exfoliating products in the same routine when the skin is sensitive. Alternate the powder cleanser, retinol, acids and intensive acne products where necessary.

SALICYLIC POWDER OR ENZYME POWDER?

Choose Salicylic Powder for oily or acne-prone skin affected by blackheads, shine and congested pores. Salicylic acid works particularly well on oil and pore congestion.

Choose Enzyme Powder for milder surface exfoliation, dullness and smoother-looking skin without salicylic acid.

Do not use both powders consecutively in the same cleansing routine.

USE AROUND THE EYES

Do not apply to the eyelids, lash line or directly underneath the eyes. Salicylic acid and enzymes may irritate the delicate eye contour.

Rinse immediately and thoroughly with water following direct eye contact.

USE AFTER COSMETIC PROCEDURES

Do not use immediately after microneedling, nanoneedling, laser, IPL, dermabrasion, intensive extractions or a professional peel.

Wait until the skin is fully closed and calm and follow the practitioner’s aftercare instructions. Use a gentle cleanser without exfoliating acids or enzymes during the initial recovery period.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use in cases of salicylate allergy.
• Seek medical advice if unsure about use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Do not apply to open, recently squeezed or bleeding blemishes.
• Discontinue use following severe redness, swelling, itching or persistent burning.
• Keep the powder and bottle opening completely dry.
• Close the container immediately after use.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Preferably use within six months after opening.

EXPECTED RESULTS

After cleansing, the skin may feel cleaner, smoother and less oily. With regular but moderate use, blackheads, visible pores, shine and superficial blemishes may gradually appear less noticeable.

This is a cosmetic skincare product and not a medicine for acne. Severe, painful, cystic or scarring acne should be assessed by a doctor or dermatologist.
