When it comes to maintaining smooth, healthy, and radiant skin, the products you use at home can make all the difference — especially during the winter months. At Ashburn Laser & Skincare MedSpa, one of our top recommendations for a deeper clean and a refreshed complexion is the Pumice Cleanser by Clinical Formula.
This powerhouse product has earned a dedicated following among our patients, and for good reason.
What Is the Clinical Formula Pumice Cleanser?
Clinical Formula’s Pumice Cleanser is a dermatologist-trusted exfoliating cleanser designed to gently polish the skin while removing buildup, impurities, and dead skin cells. Unlike harsh scrubs that can cause irritation, this formula uses finely milled pumice, allowing for effective exfoliation without damaging the skin barrier.
It’s perfect for anyone wanting:
- Smoother skin
- A brighter complexion
- Better product absorption
- Deep cleansing without over-stripping
Key Benefits
- Gently Exfoliates Without Irritation
The ultra-fine pumice particles buff away dry, dull skin, making the face feel incredibly smooth. It’s especially useful for combatting winter roughness and flakiness.
- Helps Prevent Clogged Pores
By clearing away dead skin and excess oil, the Pumice Cleanser minimizes congestion and reduces the likelihood of blackheads and acne flare-ups.
- Boosts Product Penetration
Exfoliated skin absorbs serums and moisturizers more effectively. Using the Pumice Cleanser can enhance the results of Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, moisturizers, and even prescription topicals like tretinoin.
- Supports a Brighter, More Even Skin Tone
Regular use promotes a smoother surface and encourages a naturally radiant glow — something we all love during dull winter months.
Why It’s Perfect for Winter
Winter brings:
- Dryness
- Flakiness
- Dehydration
- Rough texture
This cleanser helps slough away those dry skin cells, revealing a fresher, more radiant complexion underneath. However, because exfoliation and cold weather can both make skin more sensitive, it’s important to follow it with a nourishing moisturizer (like SkinCeuticals Emollience) and use it only 2–3 times per week unless otherwise directed by your provider.
If you are using active ingredients such as tretinoin, we recommend spacing out exfoliation to avoid irritation.
How to Use It
For best results:
- Use 2–3 times per week in the shower (or as directed by your provider).
- Massage gently in circular motions on damp skin, no pressure needed. Start with your fingertips, and for a bit more exfoliation, glide the palms of your hands over the same areas to enhance the polish.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Follow with hydrating products like serums and moisturizers.
Avoid using it on days when applying stronger actives like tretinoin or retinol, unless advised.
Who Is It Good For?
Most skin types can benefit from the Pumice Cleanser, especially:
- Normal to oily skin
- Congested or rough skin
- Dull or uneven texture
- Patients who want their skincare to work more effectively
Those with very sensitive skin may prefer to use it less frequently.
