Skin ChemistsskinChemists Vitamin C & Peptide Anti-Ageing Gel Cleanser 200ml

skinChemists is the award-winning, British skincare company. Our Best Selling, top rated Gel Cleanser works to brighten skin tone, fade dark spots, and improve firmness. Gentle yet effective, it leaves skin looking brighter, more even, and gives you the confidence to go bare-faced with pride.

What it does for you: • Brightens and evens skin tone • Fades dark spots • Helps firm and lift the skin

Key Ingredients (Why it works): • SYN-AKE (Snake Venom Peptide): A synthetic peptide that mimics the relaxing effect of snake venom, helping to visibly smooth expression lines and wrinkles. • Allantoin: A gentle, soothing ingredient that helps calm the skin and smooth rough patches. • Snake Peptide (Syn-Ake): a biomimetic peptide inspired by snake venom that helps relax the look of expression lines and smooth fine lines.

Ideal for: Ideal for skincare lovers who want a brightening cleanser that does more than cleanse, and want to start every routine with a more radiant, even complexion.

For the best results: • Week 1: Skin may start to feel clean, fresh, and balanced from the first few uses. • Week 4: With regular cleansing, pores may begin to look refined and blemishes can appear less frequent. • Week 8: Over time, skin may look and feel clearer and more comfortable - though results can vary.

How to use: Wet your face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of cleanser to your fingertips and work into a lather. Gently massage over the face and neck in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Follow with your usual serum and moisturiser. Use morning and evening.

Concerns addressed: Brightening, Dark Spots, Loss of Firmness

Skin Type: All skin types

Pairs well with: Pairs well with a hydrating toner or essence to use after cleansing, followed by a targeted serum and your regular moisturiser for a complete routine.

Best time of use: Morning and Evening

Pro Tips: Take at least 60 seconds when cleansing rather than a quick rinse - the active ingredients need time to work and a thorough cleanse makes everything you apply afterwards absorb much better.

Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Does a gel cleanser with vitamin C actually deliver brightening benefits? A: Yes, even in a rinse-off cleanser, vitamin C can make a noticeable difference. It helps gently brighten the skin during cleansing, and consistent use supports a more even, radiant-looking complexion over time.

Q: What does peptide do in a cleanser? A: Peptides are skin-conditioning proteins that help support the skin's repair and firmness mechanisms. In a cleanser, they help skin feel more comfortable and resilient after every wash, rather than tight or stripped.
