Definitive Cleansing Complex

Definitive Cleansing Complex is a luxurious, regenerative gel cleanser designed to purify, hydrate, and strengthen the skin, making it the essential first step in any AUTEUR skincare ritual. This advanced formulation effortlessly dissolves pollution, impurities, makeup, and excess oils while delivering active ingredients that support the skin’s natural regenerative and protective abilities.

At the heart of the cleanser is a powerful botanical and biotech-driven complex featuring vegan stem cells, multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid, Amino Acids, and nourishing lipids. These actives work together to enhance cellular vitality, improve moisture retention, encourage longevity, and leave the skin smoother, calmer, and visibly refreshed after every cleanse. Gentle yet high-performing, the gel texture creates a cushion of hydration while purifying without stripping.

Ideal for twice-daily use, it prepares the skin to fully receive the benefits of your serums and creams while maintaining optimal balance and long-term resilience.
