Refining Cleanser

Marie Veronique’s Refining Cleanser is a thoughtfully formulated exfoliating cleanser that gently refines skin texture, brightens tone, and supports barrier integrity - making it an essential ritual for those experiencing congestion, dullness, or early signs of aging. A synergy of lactic acid, phloretin, and willow bark offers strategic exfoliation to clear pores, even tone, and stimulate ceramide production, while apple cider vinegar restores pH balance and provides antimicrobial support. Physical exfoliants like adzuki bean powder, colloidal oat flour, and rice bran offer a gentle polish, lifting keratinized debris while respecting the skin’s lipid barrier. This cleanser not only minimizes the appearance of pores and softens skin but also supports microbial diversity: helping to reduce inflammation, prevent future breakouts, and prepare the skin for deeper absorption of serums and actives. Ideal for both symptomatic and maturing skin, it’s a botanical-forward reset for radiant, resilient skin in harmony with its natural rhythms.

Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002, Marie Veronique is a pioneering voice in clean, microbiome-friendly skincare: crafting small-batch, science-forward formulas that honor the skin’s innate intelligence. With a deep respect for biology, their ethos is rooted in the belief that skin doesn’t need fixing...it needs support. Each creation is the result of rigorous research and cross-disciplinary wisdom, drawing from biomedicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and holistic health to create topicals that are not only effective but profoundly thoughtful. Co-founded by chemist Marie Veronique Nadeau and guided by a mission to tell the truth in an industry riddled with misinformation, the brand has become a trusted leader among estheticians, practitioners, and conscious consumers alike. Sustainability and integrity are central to their practice - from glass bottles and reduced packaging to long-standing partnerships with like-minded suppliers. Every product reflects their dedication to the health of both skin and planet. Female-founded and led, the team behind Marie Veronique includes skin health educator Kristina Holey and visionary co-founder Kristy-Moore Jeffress, who together continue to shift the paradigm toward skincare that is ethical, effective, and radically honest.
