However, it's worth noting here that I am also someone who fervently believes in honest and open conversations around skincare, and that is hard to come by when it comes to luxury products. When we part with a lot of cash for something, we become determined to make it work. And this is where I come into the conversation.

ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash, as part of the ELEMIS Anti-Ageing Resurfacing Programme, is a daily face wash that encourages the skin's natural cell renewal cycle, actively smoothing and refining whilst gently exfoliating away any dead skin cells that dull the complexion. Revolutionary Patented Tri-Enzyme technology acts as the catalyst in this innovative formulation for safe and effective resurfacing within the skin’s upper layers. Galactoarabinan, a Polysaccharide from the Larch Tree, enhances the non-abrasive exfoliation process, whilst Brazilian Babassu Oil, rich in fatty acids, replenishes moisture levels. The powerful anti-oxidant properties of Moringa help to protect skin against environmental damage, and White Truffle Poria Cocos helps to soothe and support the microflora of the skin. Skin appears smooth and radiant as a newly cleansed complexion is revealed, preparing skin for maximum efficacy of your Resurfacing Programme.Aqua/Water/Eau, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Acrylates Copolymer, Polysorbate 20, Coco-Glucoside, Glycol Distearate, Glyceryl Oleate, Sodium Lactate, Dicaprylyl Ether, Phenoxyethanol, Lauryl Alcohol, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Chloride, Orbignya Oleifera (Babassu) Seed Oil, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hydroxide, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Glyceryl Stearate, Galactoarabinan*, Papain, Disodium EDTA, Behenyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Benzoic Acid, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium Phosphate, Stearyl Alcohol, Protease, Subtilisin, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate, Tocopherol, Poria Cocos Extract. *Extracted from larch tree. Formulated with the patented tri-enzyme technology, this product safely resurfaces thanks to its non-abrasive exfoliation process. Fatty acids help to replenish moisture levels, while antioxidants soothe and protect against environmental damage. Texture is key when it comes to choosing an effective cleanser for oily skin, and experts tend to agree that a foaming formulation makes the best choice. “Oily skin naturally produces an excess of sebum, our skin’s natural oil. While this is essential for skin health, an excess can make the skin more prone to congestion. Foaming cleansers work by dissolving the excess sebum on the skin, which is then rinsed away with water,” explains Pippa Harman, Cosmetic Scientist and Formulator and Co-Founder of Renude. However, unlike the harsh and astringent cleansers of my teenage years, Pippa points out that the aim isn’t to entirely strip the skin of all its natural oils, so a cleanser with a gentle texture and ingredients is best. Which ingredients should you seek out in a cleanser for oily skin?

Formulated with patented tri-enzyme technology, this daily face wash deeply cleanses and gently exfoliates to restore a smooth, clear and radiant complexion.
