In honor of St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, we want to add some green to our skincare routine. This week in the blog, we are sharing our favorite green skincare cleanser to help you feel extra lucky on this green-filled holiday.
Go Green with Purity Clean!
A green skincare product that we love for St. Patrick’s Day is Purity Clean. This Exfoliating Cleanser gently lifts away dirt, oil and impurities as it balances and clarifies the skin for a softer, more radiant-looking complexion. Purity Clean produces a rich lather with water to help unclog congested pores, minimize excess shine and improve the look of uneven texture and discoloration with each use.
Even though St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect moment to embrace green, your skincare routine should go beyond the surface. This is because true radiance doesn’t come from aggressive exfoliation, but from supporting the skin’s natural barrier, which enables it to better tolerate active ingredients over time.
Many people who say they have “sensitive skin” are actually experiencing a temporary imbalance as a result of over-exfoliation; a gentle exfoliating cleanser that works in harmony with the skin can help restore clarity without compromising comfort.
Chemical exfoliation for sensitive skin, when performed correctly, can be far more beneficial than abrasive scrubs, as instead of physically scrubbing the skin’s surface, ingredients like L-Lactic Acid work to loosen the bonds between dead skin cells. This enables a more even and controlled exfoliation. This helps minimize the look of congestion, uneven texture, and dullness, all without disrupting the skin barrier.
For many, this could be the best exfoliating cleanser for them, one that balances effectiveness with tolerance.
Purity Clean is formulated with a skin-loving blend of 5% L-Lactic Acid, Tea Tree Oil, and Peppermint Essential Oil to gently lift away dirt, oil and pore-clogging impurities without stripping the skin of essential moisture. As L-Lactic Acid helps exfoliate dead skin cells and pore-clogging impurities, Tea Tree Oil helps balance and clarify while Peppermint Essential Oil helps soothe the skin for the ultimate cleansing formula.
However, this formula is unique not just for its ingredients, but for how they are delivered. Cosmedix formulations are designed with skin compatibility in mind, which use high-purity, chirally correct actives compatible with the skin.
L-Lactic Acid offers gentle resurfacing while helping skin maintain hydration levels. This makes it suitable even for those working to rebuild their tolerance to actives. For instance, Tea Tree Oil supports clarity in breakout-prone areas, while Peppermint Essential Oil provides a refreshing, soothing sensation without disrupting the skin barrier.
If you are looking for a deep pore cleanser that does more than just cleanse, Purity Clean is ideal for you. It’s especially beneficial for:
Congested or breakout-prone skin
Uneven texture or dullness
Individuals transitioning to more active skincare routines
As it supports the skin’s natural renewal process without any harsh abrasion, it seamlessly blends into routines focused on long-term skin health.
This Exfoliating Cleanser can be used both morning and night. For the morning, shake Purity Clean well and moisten your hands and face. Next, using a dime-sized amount of cleanser, work the cleanser into a lather and cleanse the skin before rinsing with warm water.
For the daytime, we recommend pairing Purity Clean with Shineless Oil-Free Moisturizer for oily skin or Emulsion Intense Hydrator for dry skin. For nighttime, follow the same steps as the morning. We recommend pairing Purity Clean with Purity Balance Exfoliating Prep Toner and your favorite Cosmedix nighttime serum and moisturizer.
If a more complete barrier-supportive routine is what you want, pair Purity Clean with targeted treatments that reinforce hydration, such as:
Simply Brilliant 24/7 Brightening Serum to help improve tone and luminosity
Emulsion Intense Hydrator to replenish moisture using liquid crystal technology (mimics the skin’s natural lipid barrier)
If the goal is to incorporate exfoliation into more advanced routines, alternating nights with Define Age-Defying Treatment can help support smoother and more refined-looking skin.
Note: Active treatments should always be introduced gradually and avoided immediately post-procedure.
Pro Tip: Purity Clean can also be used as a face mask! Simply apply the Exfoliating Cleanser onto dry skin and leave on for up to ten minutes for additional exfoliation and cleansing.
Cosmedix formulas have long been trusted by skin professionals and aestheticians in treatment settings, especially where results and skin tolerance must go hand in hand.
This professional heritage is reflected in Purity Clean, designed not just to cleanse, but to prepare the skin for advanced treatments. The focus is on barrier health and ingredient integrity, where it supports skin to look clearer and more balanced over time.
