Description

  • Rapid Response Detox Cleanser by Renée Rouleau is formulated with a gentle yet powerful blend of antibacterial and oil-minimizing ingredients. This cleanser targets breakouts in their early stages, whether they are caused by hormonal imbalances, pollution, stress or any other occurrence. Unlike most acne-fighting cleansers, this one won't dry out your skin. The result? Skin will be reset and perfectly balanced, and blemishes and oil activity will be decreased.

    For maximum results, leave this cleanser on the skin for up to five minutes. The longer a product with antimicrobial ingredients is left on the skin, the more pronounced the effects will be.

    Pair with Rapid Response Detox Toner for even more acne-fighting benefits. You can also take this to the next level and add the Rapid Response Detox Masque, the product that started the whole line. The Rapid Response Detox Masque is very effective for preventing the appearance of all types breakouts, including cysts, pustules, papules, and monthly hormonal blemishes. All three are included in our Rapid Response Detox Kit.

    Size: 6 fl oz

    • Tea Tree Oil - Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil - eliminates surface bacteria within five minutes of application to discourage the formation of blemishes.
    •  Tea Tree Oil - Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka) Branch/Leaf Oil - reduces microbial activity on the skin’s surface to minimize breakouts.
    •  Glycerin - moisture-binding humectant that prevents flaking and allows skin to remain hydrated and moist for its proper function.

    Perfect for dehydrated acne prone skin

    I love this cleanser! I noticed it reducing my breakouts right away, but I noticed a bigger difference when I left it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. I never feel dry after using it and its very effective.

    Love, love, love!

    Couldn't love this creamy cleanser more! In the process of using it for about six months, my 46 year old skin is as clean and clog free as it has ever been. The cleanser smells good, removes make-up well and doesn't leave any residue. I couldn't recommend it more for acne prone, aging skin!

    Blew my mind

    I've been using this cleanser at night. Usually I would get 3 or 4 whiteheads on my cheeks and forehead. Now after only a week, I have gotten 2 over the course of the week. This is just amazing.

    Surprising that a cleanser can make such a difference!

    I have acne-prone skin that’s a type 3 or 4, but I take inspiration from the routine for type 1 skin, too. I first realized earlier this year that 1) the specific cleanser you use and 2) how you cleanse can make a big difference in your skin. I thought I’d probably gotten all the cleansing-related benefits that could be gotten by starting to use an AHA/BHA cleanser…but then I went ahead and bought this cleanser out of curiosity because I still had some breakouts I was dealing with. Maybe it’s a coincidence, but my skin has been looking even healthier and clearer (i.e., fewer acne spots) since adding this into my routine—I am spot-concealing less during the day when I want to look nice. It doesn’t look like any cleanser I’ve ever used before (it’s bright yellow), but that doesn’t matter. I use this in the AM and the AHA/BHA cleanser in the evening. I make sure to really take my time with both cleanses, massaging the cleanser over my whole face, focusing on spots that could be short-changed and trouble areas, and making sure that ultimately the cleanser is getting to be on my face for a minute or longer. If you are looking for something to help your acne, give this cleanser a shot. If you have acne, I also recommend her AHA/BHA cleanser, BHA clarifying serum, anti-bump treatment, and skin correcting serum.
