O'clearien Cleared Enzyme Cleanser 60g
the Soap-Based Stripping.
What It Is
O'Clearien Cleared Enzyme Cleanser is a fine-particle powder cleanser that transforms into a soft foam on contact with water, designed to deep clean and gently exfoliate in a single step. Manufactured by Cosmecca Korea, it's built as a 2-in-1 formula strong enough to lift eyeliner and glitter makeup, yet mild enough for daily (use 1-2x a week before going daily) use thanks to its mildly acidic, low-irritation profile. Where most powder cleansers rely on a single enzyme, this formula layers Papain, Succinic Acid, a patented Schisandra-derived ingredient called Sweetone, and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) to handle exfoliation, sebum control, and skin tone in one wash.
Why This Powder Cleanser Is Different
- It's formulated as a mildly acidic, low-irritation cleanser rather than the traditional soap-based alkaline powder wash most competing brands use, which is part of why it's positioned for sensitive, reactive skin.
- Four active ingredients work together, not just one — Papain handles gentle exfoliation, Succinic Acid targets sebum and pore congestion, the patented Sweetone soothes and evens tone, and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) offers a milder alternative to standard salicylic acid exfoliation.
- It's certified through a skin patch primary irritation test, a formal low-irritancy screening step that not every competing powder cleanser discloses.
- The packaging is FSC-certified and printed with soy ink, an eco-conscious detail rarely highlighted by comparable enzyme powder cleansers on the market.

Key Ingredients
A proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya that gently breaks down dead skin cell buildup on the surface, supporting smoother texture while also contributing to the formula's moisturizing feel.
An amino acid-derived, mild surfactant that cleanses without the harshness of traditional sulfate-based systems, supporting the formula's low-irritation profile.
A naturally derived acid that supports gentle exfoliation while helping regulate excess sebum, making the formula useful for reducing the appearance of pores and supporting clearer-looking skin.
A patented ingredient derived from Omija (Schisandra berry) included specifically to soothe skin and help improve the appearance of redness and uneven tone during the cleansing step itself.
A gentle humectant that helps the formula retain a moisturizing feel even during deep cleansing, working against the tight, stripped sensation common with powder-based washes.
A well-established calming ingredient that helps condition and soothe skin during cleansing, rounding out the formula's gentle, sensitive-skin-friendly profile.
A lipophilic hydroxy acid derivative of salicylic acid, known for offering a milder, slower-acting exfoliation profile compared to traditional salicylic acid — supporting pore clarity without the sting some BHAs cause.

How To Use
- Keep the container dry between uses. Since this is a powder formula, avoid letting water sit inside the jar to prevent premature clumping.
- Use morning or night, or both, depending on your skin's tolerance — sensitive skin types may prefer starting with once-a-week and expand based on skin's sensitivity.
- Discontinue if irritation occurs. As with any exfoliating cleanser, stop use and consult a specialist if redness, swelling, or itching develops.
- Avoid use on broken or injured skin and keep the product out of direct sunlight during storage.
- Store away from moisture and children's reach to preserve the powder texture and formula integrity.
