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

    • Kaolin - mineral clay that absorbs and minimizes excess oiliness to prevent breakouts caused by travel, hormonal imbalances, increased exposure to traffic pollution, stress or any other occurrence that causes our oil glands to become overactive.
    • Tea Tree Oil - Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil - eliminates surface bacteria within five minutes of application to discourage the formation of blemishes.
    •  Manuka 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.

      This cleanser is very effective in keeping my skin clear. I have always had oily skin with acne, but this has helped my hormonal acne a lot!

      Great for comodones!!!!!!

      This product really helped me through my acne journey. I started using it in December 2023 and my skin started seeing a transformation by month 3 around April. I stopped having new breakouts and what I already had started clearing. I started using this with azelaic acid prescribed around the same time as well. So the combination must have helped. I will say give it a shot especially if you have these tiny closed comodones like I did. I’m adding this to my cleansing line up for ever. Here is a before and after pictures of my results
