For acne-prone, congested and oily skin, the cleansing step can do more than remove impurities. An AHA and BHA combination cleanser exfoliates at the pore level, clears the sebum and dead skin cell accumulation that leads to comedones, and begins the clarifying process before any treatment products are applied. NOON CosmoClear Cleanser builds chemical exfoliation into the first step of the acne programme routine.An AHA and BHA exfoliating cleanser with DermShield Technology for acne-prone, oily and congested skin. Glycolic or Lactic Acid exfoliates at the skin surface. Salicylic Acid penetrates oil-filled pores to dissolve sebum congestion from inside. Together they provide dual-mechanism chemical exfoliation at the cleansing step, setting up every subsequent acne treatment product for better penetration and efficacy.Who Is It For? Acne-prone, oily and congested skin wanting chemical exfoliation built into their daily cleansing routine Those with blackheads, comedones and enlarged pores alongside active breakouts Patients in NOON acne programmes wanting maximum programme involvement at every routine step Those wanting to improve active treatment product penetration through daily AHA and BHA pre-treatment Those on GLP-1 medications with oily, congested skin wanting daily chemical exfoliation at the cleansing step How Does It Work?AHA (Glycolic or Lactic Acid) exfoliates at the skin surface, loosening dead skin cell bonds and improving the clarity and texture of the epidermis. BHA (Salicylic Acid) penetrates into oil-filled pores, dissolving the sebum and dead skin cell accumulation that forms comedones from inside the follicle. Together they address surface congestion and pore-level congestion simultaneously in a single cleansing step. DermShield Technology enables consistent daily use without the dryness and barrier disruption that standard AHA/BHA cleansers cause, preserving the barrier integrity that active treatment products require.Key Ingredients AHA (Glycolic or Lactic Acid): Surface exfoliation that removes accumulated dead skin cells, improves skin clarity and improves penetration of active treatment products applied after cleansing. BHA (Salicylic Acid): Oil-soluble acid that penetrates into pores and dissolves the sebum and debris accumulation that forms comedones and blackheads from inside the follicle. DermShield Technology (patented, NOON Aesthetics): Suppresses neurogenic inflammation to enable daily AHA/BHA cleansing without the dryness and barrier disruption that standard acid cleansers cause.

Daily AHA/BHA exfoliation at the cleansing step means the treatment products applied after it penetrate more effectively and work in a less congested environment.How to UseApply to damp skin, massage gently and rinse thoroughly. Use morning and evening as the first step of your NOON acne programme. Allow to rinse completely before applying treatment serums and moisturiser. Always apply SPF 50 every morning. Note: daily AHA/BHA exfoliation increases photosensitivity. SPF 50 compliance is mandatory.Frequently Asked QuestionsIs it too harsh for daily use?DermShield Technology specifically addresses the barrier disruption and irritation that standard AHA/BHA cleansers cause with daily use. For most acne-prone patients, daily use with CosmoClear is more appropriate than the dryness cycle of intermittent harsh acid cleansing.Is it pregnancy safe?Salicylic Acid is generally not recommended during pregnancy. We do not recommend AHA/BHA products during pregnancy. Please consult your midwife or obstetrician.Can I use it with BenzoAzeline or Azelaic-S treatment products?Yes.
