FAQs

I have dry and sensitive skin that most face washes irritate, why will this be different?

The Clean Slate’s unique pH-balanced formula uses breakthrough gentle, plant-based ingredients instead of harsh surfactants and will refresh your skin without drying it out like many conventional face washes.

Why should I use The Clean Slate twice a day?

Washing your face at night removes any oil and build-up from your day and is necessary to prevent clogged pores. In addition, washing your face in the morning will remove dead skin cells as your skin undergoes a lot of changes while you sleep.

I recently learned how much pollution in the air can affect our skin health and that made me want to invest in a better face wash. I use The Clean Slate every night and most mornings. My skin feels better instantly. I'm convinced it's making all the difference especially with the air quality in a big city.

I used to just use water or generic fac washes and didn't think it made a difference. After trying The Clean Slate, I'm never looking back. My face feels cleaner and looks smoother than it has in a long time. Love the packaging too!

I love how The Clean Slate uses gentle plant-based ingredients to refresh my skin without overly drying it. SO much better than cheaper face washes used to use.
