Most exfoliators make you choose between doing nothing and taking the top layer off. This one lets you decide. Massage it in lightly for a gentle cleanse, or work it harder when skin feels congested and dull.
The grains are hydrogenated jojoba and bamboo stem, so they lift dead skin without the scratchy feel of a harsh scrub. Underneath them the base is a proper cream cleanser, with castor oil to lift away impurities and shea butter, so skin comes out soft rather than tight.
Matcha runs through the whole Doctrine range. It is known for its natural antioxidant profile, which is why it turns up in all three of these formulas.
How to use
Dampen the skin and massage the cleanser in light circular motions, keeping clear of the eye area. For a deeper exfoliation, rub more vigorously. Rinse thoroughly with water. Use two to three times a week.

Why We Love This Brand
Doctrine is a small Irish skincare brand out of Cork, formulated in-house by co-founder and cosmetic chemist Tracey Ryan. The formulations are led by what the ingredients actually do rather than what sells, and the range is built to work together rather than as a set of unrelated products.
