WHO IT'S FOR:

Stubborn or persistent acne
Inflamed breakouts
Congested, breakout-prone skin
Face and body acne

If your skin still feels dull, congested, or dry after cleansing, you may not be removing everything. Smart Start™ is a pre-cleanse oil designed to be the first step in a double-cleansing routine, helping dissolve makeup, water-resistant sunscreen, excess sebum, and environmental buildup.

Unlike harsh removers that can leave skin feeling tight, this conditioning oil blend supports the skin barrier while cleansing. Jojoba and Sweet Almond Oils help soften and nourish the skin, while Sunflower Extract and Vitamin E provide antioxidant support. Bacillus Ferment helps promote a balanced-looking complexion.

By starting with Smart Start™, your treatment cleanser can work more effectively — leaving skin feeling fresh, comfortable, and truly clean.

If you’re searching for the best oil cleanser for double cleansing, a gentle makeup remover for sensitive skin, or a pre-cleanse oil that won’t strip your barrier, Smart Start™ is your ideal first step.

Thoughtfully formulated. Cruelty-free. Always.

BEST FOR

• Makeup and sunscreen removal

• Double cleansing routines

FAQ

What does Smart Start™ do?

Smart Start™ is a pre-cleanse oil designed to dissolve sunscreen, excess oil, makeup, and environmental buildup before your regular cleanser. It helps loosen impurities so the skin can be cleansed more thoroughly without harsh scrubbing.

Do I need a pre-cleanse oil if I don’t wear makeup?

Yes. Even without makeup, sunscreen, oil, sweat, and daily environmental buildup can remain on the skin. Using a pre-cleanse oil helps break these down gently so your regular cleanser can work more effectively.

Will Smart Start™ clog pores?

No. Smart Start™ is formulated to rinse clean and is suitable for all skin types, including oily, acne-prone, and congestion-prone skin. When used as the first step in cleansing, it helps remove excess oil rather than cause breakouts.

Is Smart Start™ safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. This formula cleanses without harsh stripping and contains nourishing oils that help support the skin barrier. It is ideal for dry, sensitive, or reactive skin when used as directed.

Do I need to use another cleanser after Smart Start™?

Yes. Smart Start™ is the first step of a double cleanse. Follow with your regular cleanser to fully remove residue and leave the skin clean, fresh, and balanced.

Can I use Smart Start™ around the eyes?

Yes, it can be used to help remove eye makeup and sunscreen. Keep eyes closed while cleansing and rinse thoroughly. Avoid getting the product directly inside the eyes.

When should I use Smart Start™?

Smart Start™ is most beneficial in the evening to remove sunscreen, makeup, and daily buildup, but it can be used anytime a deeper cleanse is needed.
