Cleanse. Polish. Rebalance.

Balancing Exfoliating Cleanser is a versatile 2-in-1 cleanser and facial polish created for skin that feels out of balance. Its distinctive blend of fine exfoliating minerals, Kaolin Clay, Blue Tansy, seaweed-derived hydrolysed collagen and lightweight botanical oils cleanses while gently lifting away surface build-up and dead skin cells, leaving skin feeling fresh, smooth and refined.

Designed for combination, oily, sensitive and breakout-prone skin, the water-activated formula lets you adjust the experience from a softer cleanse to a more concentrated polish.

Why you'll love it

  • 2-in-1 formula cleanses and physically exfoliates in one step.
  • Helps lift away surface build-up and dead skin cells for smoother, clearer-looking skin.
  • Adjustable texture lets you control the intensity by adding more or less water.
  • Kaolin Clay helps cleanse the skin while lightweight botanical oils help leave it feeling calm and comfortable.
  • Features rare Blue Tansy as part of the signature botanical profile of the Balancing range.

Best for

Combination, oily, sensitive and breakout-prone skin, particularly when skin feels textured, congested or out of balance.

Why it works

Fine Sugar + Mineral Salts provide physical exfoliation to help lift away surface build-up and leave skin feeling smoother and more polished.

Kaolin Clay supports the cleansing action of the formula and helps remove excess surface oil and impurities.

Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) is a rare Moroccan botanical prized for its naturally occurring chamazulene, the compound behind its extraordinary deep-blue colour. Chamazulene has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory research, making Blue Tansy especially interesting in cosmetic formulations for skin that looks red, reactive or out of balance.

Seaweed-derived Hydrolysed Collagen helps condition the skin and support a smooth, hydrated feel.

Grapeseed, Jojoba + Fractionated Coconut Oils provide lightweight emollience to balance the exfoliating cleanse and leave skin feeling soft.

Texture & ritual

The concentrated texture transforms with water, allowing you to customise each cleanse. Add more water for a softer cleansing experience, or use less water and a very light touch when you want a more concentrated facial polish.

How to use

Wet the face and hands. Take a small amount of cleanser and add water between your palms before gently massaging over the skin in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

For a more concentrated exfoliating cleanse, use less water and massage very gently. Avoid over-exfoliating and reduce frequency if your skin feels sensitive.

Within the Balancing + Clarifying routine, follow with Blue Tansy Balancing B5 + Collagen Toner, then your treatment and moisturising steps.

Before & After

Omg it cleared up my face in only 12 days!

"I suffered from this mystery skin rash that was inflamed, itchy & painful for 11 months. I tried so many lotions & creams but zero change. Even a dermatologist could not pinpoint was it was, just gave me cortisone cream and sent me on my way (the before photos show me with a layer of cortisone on it just to stop the itching). I used Samson & Charlies the gift facial oil in the mornings and the famous 24k facial oil in the evenings underneath a plain neutral moisturiser and omg it cleared up my face in only 12 days!! The itchiness has greatly subsided and my face is nowhere as angry looking and looks normal. Whatever is in those bottles is magic. My skin is smooth and hydrated too which is a great bonus and the oil absorbs in easily. I'm even using the gift oil on my mild eczema which appears on my arms and it greatly hydrated it. I highly recommend those products for skin acting crazy and to hydrate it."
