Epicutis Cleansing Essentials Set
Two-Step Cleanse. Gentle Exfoliation. Balanced, Healthy Skin.
The Cleansing Essentials Set from Epicutis brings together an oil-based cleanser and a powder exfoliant to transform your cleansing ritual. Together, they remove impurities, makeup, excess oils, and dead skin cells—without harsh scrubs or stripping your skin.
- The Oil Cleanser melts makeup, sunscreen, and sebum while preserving the skin barrier.
- The Enzyme Exfoliating Powder uses fruit-derived enzymes to gently loosen dead cells, refine texture, and brighten the skin—without microbeads or harsh acids.

- Deep yet gentle cleansing that doesn’t leave skin tight or stripped
- Soft, smooth texture by removing dulling surface cells
- Balanced formulation supports barrier integrity and hydration
