With 10% L-lactic acid — a high percentage for a cleanser, and a concentration found in many classic serums — RX Clean works directly with every wash. Yet the formula is not the typical harsh exfoliating cleanser: 13% shea butter, aloe vera, and glucuronic acid compensate for the exfoliating action and ensure the skin feels comfortable and hydrated after rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCosmedix Elite RX Clean is formulated as a pre-procedure cleanser — part of the Cosmedix Elite Prep Program for the two weeks before a planned dermatological treatment. By exfoliating the skin daily during this period, old cell buildup is removed and the treatment can work more efficiently on a well-prepared skin. Outside the Elite context, RX Clean is also valuable as a regular cleanser for normal to oily skin seeking visible refreshment of texture and tone. A remarkable 'multi-use' feature: the product can also be left on the skin for three minutes as an exfoliating mask for a deeper effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.375rem] font-bold\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCleanses and exfoliates simultaneously with 10% L-lactic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRefines visible pores and improves skin texture after one use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHydrates thanks to 13% shea butter — exceptional for an exfoliating cleanser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSoothes during cleansing with aloe vera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUsable as both a cleanser and a 3-minute exfoliating mask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePart of the Cosmedix Elite Prep Program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eActive ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10% L-lactic acid (Lactic Acid):\u003c\/strong\u003e The core ingredient and a remarkably high concentration for a cleanser. L-lactic acid is a chirally correct alpha hydroxy acid in its naturally occurring form — the mirror variant that the body itself recognizes and uses. It exfoliates the skin surface and dissolves dead skin cells during cleansing.

RX Clean contains 10% L-lactic acid and focuses on exfoliation and improving skin texture — suitable for pre-procedure preparation and normal to oily skin. Gentle Clean is sulfate-free but without acids, aimed at soothing and hydration — suitable for post-procedure recovery and sensitive skin. In the Cosmedix Elite routine, it is often recommended to use RX Clean in the two weeks before a treatment and then switch to Gentle Clean for recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I use RX Clean daily?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor most normal to oily skin types, daily use is fine — once or twice a day. For those new to chemical exfoliation or with slightly sensitive skin, it is recommended to start every other day, gradually increasing. Reduce frequency or switch to Gentle Clean if irritation or burning occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes it also work as a mask?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, and that is one of the most appreciated features. Apply a thick layer of RX Clean on slightly damp skin and leave on for three minutes — no longer, as the high lactic acid concentration can cause irritation if left on too long. Then rinse thoroughly. The result: an immediate glow and visible refinement of skin texture. Use two to three times a month as a targeted 'reset' for skin texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy does the color of my RX Clean tube change?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe high concentration of L-lactic acid (10%) can lightly oxidize over time, which may result in a subtle color change of the formula. This is normal for authentic lactic acid formulas and does not affect the effectiveness. For best results: shake the bottle vigorously before use and pump six times to redistribute the lactic acid evenly. A browned formula remains fully functional — unlike vitamin C serums where oxidation is a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I use RX Clean during pregnancy or breastfeeding?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLactic acid in lower concentrations is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but 10% lactic acid in a cleanser is on the higher side. For maximum safety, Cosmedix recommends choosing the milder Gentle Clean during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always consult your midwife or skin therapist if in doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs RX Clean suitable for acne-prone skin?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, provided the skin is not too reactive. Lactic acid exfoliates and helps clean clogged pores — which can help reduce acne in the long term. The combination with shea butter and aloe vera makes RX Clean milder than classic acne cleansers. For very oily and impure skin, Cosmedix Clarify (BHA cleanser) or Purity Clean can also be valuable alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow do I use RX Clean in a Cosmedix Elite Prep Program?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Cosmedix Elite Prep Program is a 2-week preparation for a planned ablative treatment. It consists of RX Clean (exfoliating cleanser), X-Cell+ (brightening serum), REDuce (soothing serum), and Eye Doctor (eye serum). By following this routine daily for two weeks before the treatment, the skin is optimally prepared for the procedural effect and the chance of post-procedure pigmentation and redness is minimized. Consult your skin therapist or dermatologist for the exact schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow long does a 150ml bottle last?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWith daily use twice a day, a bottle usually lasts three to four months.
