What are Cleansers?

A cleanser is a topical product used to wash the skin and remove daily buildup like oil, debris, makeup, and impurities. Within an Osmosis routine, cleansing is the first step, done before serums and moisturizers, so the skin is fresh and ready for the rest of the routine.

Purify is the Osmosis enzyme cleanser. Enzyme cleansers use natural enzymes to gently remove dead surface skin cells without aggressive scrubbing, so Purify cleanses and lightly exfoliates while helping maintain a comfortable skin feel. It's designed for morning and evening use as the cleansing step in a routine.

Cleansing is a temporary step that clears the surface, while serums carry concentrated ingredients deeper into the skin for more targeted, longer-term support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cleanser should I use if I wear makeup every day?

Lift Away is built for it, a balm that dissolves makeup and impurities without scrubbing, and it won Best Makeup Remover at the 2025 Skin Anarchy Awards. Follow it with Purify or Cleanse if you want a second, lighter wash to finish.

How often should I use a gentle face wash?

Twice a day suits most people, once in the morning and once at night to take the day off. If your skin feels tight or looks red afterwards, drop the morning wash and simply rinse with water. Washing more often rarely helps and usually makes dryness worse.

What is the difference between Purify, Cleanse and Deep Clean?

Purify is a gentle enzymatic cleanser with a rich lather, named Best Cleanser at the 2024 Dermascope Awards. Cleanse is the mildest gel option, with copper gluconate and fatty acids for sensitive skin. Deep Clean is the most invigorating, using citrus essential oils for congested skin.

Will a non-toxic cleanser strip the skin's natural barrier?

No. Every non-toxic cleanser here is built around nourishing botanicals, so skin feels clean rather than tight and the lipid barrier stays intact. If your face feels squeaky after washing, that points to a formula being too harsh, which is exactly what these are designed to avoid.

Should I double cleanse at night?

It helps if you wear makeup or sunscreen. Start with Lift Away to break everything down, then follow with Purify or Cleanse to wash the skin itself. On days you have worn nothing, a single gentle cleanse at night is entirely enough.

What is an enzyme cleanser and how does it work?

An enzyme cleanser uses fruit enzymes to loosen dead cells rather than grinding them off. Purify is a gentle face wash that exfoliates this way, built on kumquat, kiwi and neem fruit, so it can be used daily where a gritty scrub cannot. It took Best Cleanser at the 2024 Dermascope Awards.

What's the difference between a cleansing balm and a gel cleanser?

A cleansing balm dissolves what is sitting on the skin. Lift Away melts makeup and sunscreen, then rinses away leaving skin cushioned rather than stripped. Cleanse is a gel cleanser that washes the skin itself, with copper gluconate and fatty acids. Balm first, gel second, if you are using both.
