Our botanical pre-cleansing oil dissolves makeup, water-resistant sunscreen and excess skin oils. Use it as your first cleanse, following the product’s directions.

I always finish a morning routine with sun protection. Our tinted mineral SPF 44 contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. Check the tint suits your skin tone; it may look light on deeper skin.

View customer reviewsNo reviews yetAdd to CartClean Canvas is a pre-cleansing oil; use it as directed when needed, then follow with your usual cleanser. If you’re adding Confidence Boost, apply it as directed before Activ Recovery. If you’re adding Pretty L’Oil, apply it after Activ Recovery, following its directions. Finish with Shady Business SPF 44, applied generously, and follow its label for reapplication.
Start with Clean Canvas to remove makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, following its directions, then follow with your usual cleanser. If you’re adding Confidence Boost, apply it as directed before Activ Recovery. Apply Pretty L’Oil after Activ Recovery as your nourishing addition; follow its directions and introduce it gradually.
I’d introduce one new product at a time and follow each product’s directions. If your skin is persistently itchy, sore, cracked or irritated, let’s look into what’s happening rather than keep adding products. After a procedure, follow your treating clinician’s instructions.
