Why we stand behind it
The Meringue Melt Regenerating, Skin-Softening Cleanser uses Smart-Cleansing Technology™, which deploys a Triple Exfoliation Complex (chemical, enzymatic, and physical) with skin-repairing hydrators and barrier-strengthening actives. This gentle yet high-performance formula pairs Mandelic Acid and a Five-Fruit AHA Complex with Fermented Sake Extract and ultra-fine rice powder microspheres to visibly smooth, brighten, and resurface the skin without disrupting the skin barrier.
In a two- week consumer usage study amongst 25 participants between the ages of 29 and 67, participants reported the following:
95% My skin has a better texture and softer after using this cleanser
90% My skin felt smoother and more radiant after the first use
90% My skin feels nourished and hydrated after using this cleanser
90% My skin does not feel stripped and tight after using this cleanser
90% My skin looks refreshed after using this cleanser
Key ingredients
Chemical exfoliation is powered by Mandelic Acid (an AHA with a larger molecular size, ideal for sensitive skin), which gently loosens the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin with minimal irritation.
Enzymatic exfoliation comes from Fermented Sake Extract, rich in kojic acid and natural enzymes that help dissolve dull surface buildup while promoting an even tone.
Physical exfoliation is delivered through ultra-fine, rounded rice powder particles, which gently polish the surface without causing microtears or inflammation, even on delicate or reactive skin.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage
Apply to dry or damp skin and massage gently in circular motions for 30–60 seconds. Add water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly. Use daily, morning or evening. Ideal as the second step in a double cleanse or on its own.
Pro-tip
Aside from using as a daily cleanser, you can leave on your skin for a 5 minutes, as it can work as a flash mask.
