Josie Maran Pineapple Enzyme Foaming Cleanser — 5 fl oz gentle lactic acid daily face wash for smoother, brighter skin

This lightweight daily cleanser from Josie Maran combines fruit-derived enzymes and mild acids to clarify pores, remove dead skin cells, and leave the complexion looking refreshed and more even. Designed for routine use, the formula foams to break down surface buildup while remaining gentle enough for most skin types seeking smoother texture and a brighter look.

How does this cleanser renew skin without irritating it?

The formula uses pineapple-derived enzymes plus lactic acid to loosen dead skin and dissolve surface debris, rather than relying on abrasive particles. The foaming base rinses clean, minimizing residue that can cause congestion, so skin feels refreshed rather than stripped.

• Pineapple enzymes help break down dead skin cells for gentler exfoliation
• Lactic acid provides mild chemical exfoliation and hydration support
• Foaming texture removes oil and impurities without aggressive friction
• Balanced pH-friendly approach reduces risk of over-drying

When and how should I use the Pineapple Enzyme Foaming Cleanser?

Use it morning and/or evening as part of your skincare routine. Apply a small amount to damp skin, work into a light lather, gently massage across the face concentrating on T-zone or textured areas, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

• Apply to damp skin for best lather and distribution
• Massage for 30–60 seconds to allow enzymes to work
• Rinse well and follow with toner or serum as desired
• Use regularly; adjust frequency if skin becomes sensitive

What skin concerns does this product address?

It’s aimed at improving surface texture, clearing pore-clogging buildup, and giving the skin a more polished appearance. The formulation targets dullness and rough patches while helping reduce the look of congested pores when used consistently.

• Smooths rough or flaky skin for a softer finish
• Helps dissolve environmental residue and makeup traces
• Supports a clearer-looking complexion with gentle exfoliation
• Suitable for combination, normal, and some oily skin types

Will this cleanser work with other actives like retinoids or vitamin C?

Because it contains lactic acid, pair it thoughtfully with potent actives to avoid irritation. You can use it in the morning or evening while spacing stronger actives (retinoids, high-concentration AHAs/BHAs) on alternate nights or layering with a barrier-repair moisturizer.

• Use on alternate nights with retinoids if sensitivity appears
• Follow with hydrating serums or creams to reinforce skin barrier
• Patch-test when combining with other exfoliating products
• Not intended as a chemical peel—gentle daily resurfacing instead

Who is this for: Josie Maran Pineapple Enzyme Foaming Cleanser is best for people seeking a non-abrasive daily wash that refines texture and clears surface buildup. It fits routines for those wanting mild enzymatic and lactic exfoliation without manual scrubs, especially if you have normal, combination, or oil-prone skin looking for a brighter, smoother appearance. If you have very sensitive or highly reactive skin, introduce the product slowly and monitor tolerance.
