Formulated with tear-like chemistry and bioactive superfood actives for gentle, yet powerful and thorough performance that whisks away impurities, reconditions the skin, and leaves it comfortably prepped for treatments that follow.

$68Size: 100 ml / 3.4 fl oz

Halcyon is formulated to have all the qualities that make it the perfect daily cleanser. Our high-tech botanical gel emulsion is engineered from a base of soothing aloe vera and bioactive organic flower waters to mimic natural tear chemistry, at an optimal pH. A bioactive and therapeutic blend of enriching nutritive superfoods packed with vitamins, antioxidants and phytonutrients work with fruit enzymes, plant peptides, and gentle botanical amino acid-based biosurfactants to effectively cleanse the skin of impurities, debris, pollution, grime, and daily build-up; while fortifying the skin barrier, delivering a soft, smooth, renewed and radiant foundational clean slate.

Founder's Note

Halcyon Cleanser, we had to get right. So we'll keep it short and sweet with what we did:

You loved Halcyon's Limited Rose Edition, this is that, but better. How? It has a fuller gel emulsion texture that feels much more luxurious. The lather experience has been upgraded too, it's fuller yet produced with less surfactants for an even gentler yet more effective cleansing experience.

We also incorporated new peptides in here that work best when skin is most receptive, which happens to be during the cleansing ritual. So while we've always considered Halcyon a serum-as-a-cleanser, now it truly is one.

How to Use

Use daily AM and PM.

Our cleansing emulsion is a conduit of therapeutic bio-actives that best benefits skin as the final treatment cleansing step.

•Shake bottle before use.

• Start with dispensing 1 pump onto moistened skin. (Adjust to suit your preference)

• Sweep over damp skin in upward motions.

• Perform gentle massage in upward circular motion, along the facial contours and crevices around the lips and nose, paying special attention to areas prone to congestion, enlarged pores, extra make-up/sunscreen and where dead skin cells tend to accumulate.

• For longer massage, add water to keep cleansing emulsion active.

• Rinse with tepid water.

• Lightly pat dry.

Use within 9 months of opening for optimal freshness.

Very gentle on the skin!

A favorite

Love this cleanser. I use it everyday. It's very gentle on the skin, while powerful at cleansing, leaving my skin really happy and relaxed afterward. The smell is heavenly, the feel and lather are both the perfect composition. I could not be more pleased.

Addicted

Is it strange that a cleanser can make one feel addicted? That's exactly how I feel about Halcyon. It's so pleasing from the botanical gel feel to the subtle little baby lather to the refreshing clean skin feel afterward. I look forward to using this every day.

Makes my skin better

For cleansing, this is as top notch as I had hoped. However, what really makes Halcyon special is all the things it does outside of cleansing where my skin is less blemish prone, more even in color, reduced pore size, removed dry patches, softened my skin. And it really does make my skin feel fresh immediately after cleansing even if it's late at night and my skin looks like a greasy wreak beforehand. This is great!

Enjoyable, effective, would repurchase

Having finished my cleanser, I do find it quite a pleasing and enjoyable cleanser. I definitely see why everyone loves it. It's a little expensive for what I typically spend on skincare (I'm not typically a luxury skincare girl), but I would repurchase as a nice treat because it is a great product.
