Facial Cleansers

Clean skin is only the beginning. Experience deep cleansing, soothing, balancing, and skin barrier restoration with our scientifically formulated cleansers that contain the exceptional ingredient: East Cape Mānuka Oil. Thanks to the many mānuka oil benefits for skin, our facial cleansers go beyond the surface - they have skin transformative properties.

Which is the right cleanser for me?

Picking the perfect cleanser is an essential part of building a good skincare routine. Stuck deciding between gel cleansers, oil cleansers, or foaming cleansers? Not sure which face cleansers make the best makeup removers or skin brighteners? Here are our top cleanser recommendations for different skin types and concerns.

Our Gentle Oil Cleanser is an excellent choice if you have normal, mature or dry skin. Designed to support your skin barrier, this antioxidant-rich oil-based cleanser becomes a creamy cleansing milk when applied to wet skin. Lift away impurities and remove makeup without stripping or drying.

The Soothing Cream Cleanser is also a great fit for dry, mature, or normal skin - use on its own, or with the Gentle Oil Cleanser for a double cleansing routine. Formulated with aloe vera to lock in moisture and build your skin barrier, and rosehip oil to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Our Foaming Face Wash matches well with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. With powerful antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, this foaming cleanser works to remove dirt, excess oil and other impurities, while keeping the bad bacteria that cause blemishes at bay.

Try our Vitamin C Gel Cleanser if you have dark spots or uneven skin tone. This skin brightening cleanser is enriched with kakadu plum extract, the world's most potent natural source of vitamin C, and sodium hyaluronate, a super hydrating form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates deeply into skin.

The Rejuvenating Mānuka Oil Exfoliant is suitable for any skin type. Formulated with mānuka oil and jojoba beads, this natural physical and chemical exfoliant gently removes dead skin cells to reveal younger looking skin. Lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), promotes cell turnover and rejuvenation.

What about skin sensitivity?

If you have sensitive skin, cleanse without concern - all ManukaRx cleansers are tested as safe for sensitive skin types.

What we leave out

Our face wash and cleansers are free from ingredients shown to have drying or otherwise harmful effects on skin. For example, sodium lauryl sulfate, which damages the skin barrier by stripping away vital oils. Another ingredient we leave out is the benzoyl peroxide, a chemical which can cause severe dryness, redness, or flakiness.

We also avoid ingredients that are harmful to the environment.
