Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser

With the heat we've been experiencing this summer, the face sweat has been insane. My favorite feeling recently has been washing my face after a long day with Tata Harper’s Regenerating Cleanser.

Its creamy formula combines gentle physical exfoliation from finely ground apricot microspheres with natural BHA derived from white willow bark to deeply cleanse, unclog pores, and smooth skin texture.

Ideal for all skin types, the cleanser is formulated with 100% naturally derived ingredients and delivers instant and long-term results—96% of users said their skin looked brighter and smoother after one use, and 90% reported a fresher, healthier, more radiant complexion after four weeks of use.
