Aveda Botanical Kinetics Exfoliating Cleanser 150ml is a daily creme cleanser that combines gentle physical exfoliation with the conditioning richness of mango butter and botanical oils. Jojoba ester beads polish away surface impurities and dull, dead cells, while a touch of salicylic acid supports a smoother, more refined-looking surface — all without leaving the skin feeling tight or stripped.
About Aveda
Aveda was founded in 1978 in Minneapolis by hair-care pioneer Horst Rechelbacher, and today is part of the Estée Lauder Companies. The brand is celebrated for its plant-derived, responsibly sourced ingredients and pioneering approach to sustainable beauty. Botanical Kinetics is Aveda's daily-skincare backbone, with the Exfoliating Cleanser as its gentle physical-exfoliation step.
Key ingredients
- Jojoba Esters: rounded, gentle exfoliating beads that polish without scratching the skin.
- Mango Seed Butter: a luxurious natural emollient that conditions while you cleanse.
- Babassu, Meadowfoam and Tomato Seed Oils: a blend of botanical oils that nourish and protect the skin barrier.
- Salicylic Acid: a low percentage helps refine the surface and gently exfoliate pores.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E): antioxidant support during cleansing.
Key benefits
- Polishes away dulling surface cells for a fresher, brighter-looking complexion.
- Conditions and softens the skin thanks to mango butter and botanical oils.
- Combines physical (jojoba bead) and gentle chemical (salicylic) exfoliation.
- Dermatologist-tested and non-acnegenic.
- Pleasant aromatic experience from the brand's signature plant-derived scent profile.
Who it's for
This cleanser is suited to anyone wanting to brighten dull, congested or uneven skin without the heaviness of a separate scrub. It works well for normal and combination skin types, and is gentle enough for daily use. Particularly useful for people who like the immediate "polished" feel of a physical exfoliant but want the support of a soothing creme base rather than a stripping foam.
How to use
- Dampen the face with warm water.
- Dispense a small amount into the palms and warm slightly.
- Massage gently over the face and neck in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Use morning and/or evening; pair with your usual Aveda or daily routine afterwards.
