Alba Botanica Exfoliating Facial Cleanser with Pineapple & Aloe, 8 oz — Enzyme Exfoliant, Gentle Hydration

Alba Botanica Exfoliating Facial Cleanser blends pineapple and papaya enzymes with soothing aloe to cleanse, gently exfoliate and refresh the skin.

This 8 oz cleanser is formulated to lift away makeup, surface impurities and dull skin cells while delivering botanical nourishment. The plant-derived enzyme system and mild exfoliants help reveal a brighter texture without abrasive beads, while hibiscus and passionflower extract work alongside aloe to hydrate and calm. The formula is 100% vegetarian, free from parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances, and is cruelty-free.

How does this cleanser gently exfoliate without irritating skin?

The product uses fruit enzymes from pineapple and papaya that dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores instead of physically scraping the skin. This enzymatic action provides a smoothing effect while minimizing redness and microtears typical of harsh scrubs. The inclusion of aloe and botanical extracts helps maintain moisture and comfort during use.

• Pineapple and papaya enzymes to loosen and lift dull surface cells
• Mild surfactants remove oil and makeup without stripping
• Aloe vera and hibiscus soothe and support hydration
• No harsh physical exfoliants that can abrade sensitive skin

Will it remove makeup and sunscreen effectively?

This cleanser is designed to remove everyday makeup, light sunscreen and surface grime in a single wash. While it handles most daily residues, heavier makeup or waterproof formulas may need a dedicated oil or balm first for a full double-cleanse. Rinses cleanly and leaves skin ready for serums or moisturizers.

• Formulated to lift light to medium makeup and environmental buildup
• Works well as a second-step in a double-cleanse routine
• Rinses away cleanly without sticky residue
• Helps prepare skin for treatment products by clearing surface debris

Is this product suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The gentle enzyme-based exfoliation and aloe support make it suitable for many sensitive and acne-prone skin types, provided irritation does not occur from individual sensitivities. Because it avoids parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances, it reduces common irritant sources. Patch testing is recommended if you have very reactive skin or are using strong topical treatments.

• Free of common synthetic irritants to lower sensitization risk
• Soothing botanicals help calm redness after cleansing
• Use 2–3 times weekly if your skin is reactive, or daily if tolerated
• Consult a dermatologist if you are using prescription acne medications

How should I use the cleanser for best results?

Dispense a small amount into damp hands, massage gently onto wet skin in circular motions for 30–60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For makeup removal, follow with an oil cleanser first or use a double-cleanse method. Pat skin dry and follow with toner, serum and moisturizer suited to your routine.

• Apply to damp skin and massage gently — avoid aggressive scrubbing
• Rinse with lukewarm water and towel dry with a soft cloth
• Use morning and/or evening based on tolerance and skin needs
• Follow with hydrating products to seal in moisture
