About this formula
CLARTÉ is the step with no learning curve. Massage it onto dry skin, add water to emulsify, rinse. That's the entire instruction. Formulated with argan oil, shea butter, and glycerin for normal skin, it removes the day, makeup, SPF, city air, while leaving skin feeling comfortable instead of stripped or tight. No foam that overcorrects. No fragrance-forward moment that stings.
CLARTÉ opens the ritual so the rest of it can work: Prep, then Treat, then Seal.

How to make it a ritual
Apply the cleanser to your face, massage gently, rinse off with water.
Work in the order the ritual sets out: prep first, then treat, then seal.
Patch test any new formula on the inside of your wrist or elbow before first use, and introduce one product at a time if your skin reacts easily.
Frequently asked questions
What should I notice the first time I use it?
What you should notice immediately is comfort — nothing tight, nothing stinging. A cleanser is judged on how skin feels the moment you have rinsed and dried it, not weeks later.
How do I use CLARTÉ?
Apply the cleanser to your face, massage gently, then rinse off with water. That is the whole instruction — there is no second step and nothing to leave on.
Does it remove makeup?
Yes. The manufacturer describes it as a mild facial cleanser that nourishes the skin while removing all traces of makeup and impurities.
Where does CLARTÉ go in my routine?
CLARTÉ is the Prep step and comes first. Cleanse and rinse, then move on to your Treat serum and finally your Seal cream. It is documented by the manufacturer for normal, dry and mature skin.
