A Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser for Brighter, Clearer Skin
Ever feel like regular cleansers just skim the surface while your skin still looks dull, clogged, or uneven? If you’ve tried to refresh your skin with basic washes and seen little change, it might be time for a smarter approach. The Cleansing Gel with Mandelic Acid brings a light-but-active exfoliation right to your daily routine, helping your skin look clearer and feel smoother — without heavy scrub or irritation.
What Circadia Says About It
This cleanser is described as an active foaming gel that both brightens and exfoliates while tackling pigmentation, acne, and signs of aging. It’s formulated for nearly all skin types — though especially helpful if your skin is acne-prone or you’re dealing with uneven tone.

Key Ingredients and How They Work
If your skin texture feels uneven, you’re noticing dark spots, or your pores seem more visible than you’d like, this formula is built to support those needs with specific actives.
| Ingredient | What It Does | How It Helps Your Skin |
|---|---|---|
| Mandelic Acid (4%) | A gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) | Exfoliates surface layer, unclogs pores, diminishes fine lines & dark spots. |
| Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis Leaf) | Free radical scavenger, soothing botanical | Helps protect skin from environmental stress and calms after exfoliation. |
| Panthenol | Pro-vitamin B5 moisturizer & humectant | Adds hydration and reduces the potential for over-stripping during cleansing. |
In short: This cleanser gently resurfaces your skin while helping keep your barrier comfortable — meaning smoother texture, fewer visible pores, and more even tone.
Why Our Clients Love it
Clients frequently tell us how their skin feels lighter and more even after using this gel. Many who struggle with occasional breakouts or uneven skin tone appreciate that it doesn’t feel harsh — instead it cleans and refreshes without the tight “squeaky clean” feeling. Those dealing with pigmentation often notice improved clarity after a few weeks of consistent use. In-studio and virtual clients alike mention that when they swap from a basic cleanser to this one, they finally see the “underneath” skin come forward — calm, refreshed, and more responsive to their serums and treatments.
How to Use It Safely & Effectively
- Use morning and/or evening. Start by wetting your face and apply about an almond-size amount of the gel onto fingertips.
- Gently lather and massage over the face (avoiding the eye area), then rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry.
- Continue with your usual serum and moisturizer (or treatment) while skin is still slightly damp.
Pro Tip: If your skin is feeling especially sensitive or just coming off a treatment, use the cleanser in the evening only and follow with a soothing barrier-supporting moisturizer. This helps maintain the benefit of exfoliation without overdoing things.
