How To Use AUTEUR Definitive Enzyme Cleanser

1. Dispense 6–8 shakes of powder into the palm of one hand, then slowly add water to emulsify into a liquid. 
2. Massage the resulting foam over damp face and neck for 30 – 60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. 
3. Sensitive skin: begin using for 30 seconds every other day. Daily use is recommended for most skin types. 

Pro Tip (from estheticians): Use on clean skin after removing makeup/ SPF (and consider a gentle pre-cleanse if makeup or heavy sunscreen is present) to unlock the full resurfacing benefit.

FAQs

Can I use this while pregnant or nursing?
The brand does not provide specific guidance; please consult your physician.

How long until I see results?
Visible smoother texture and clarity may be noticeable within a few uses; significant tone improvement shown in brand testing by around 12 weeks of consistent use.
