Clear Skin Creams

What it is:
An ultramoisturizing, pearlized wash that gently exfoliates to restore radiance and protect skin’s natural moisture barrier.

What it is formulated to do:
Renewing Cleansing Cream is a highly-concentrated, ultramoisturizing cleanser formulated to rejuvenate and rebalance hormonally aging skin. Papaya enzymes provide non-abrasive exfoliation while algae extract hydrates, soothes, and firms skin. Apricot and starflower oils work to provide intense hydration and improve skin resilience while essential fatty acids help maintain skin’s barrier function. Renewing Cleansing Cream is recommended as a step one cleanser in any Murad resurgence regimen and restores skin’s youthful glow as part of Dr. Murad’s Inclusive Health® system of care.

Drunk Elephant is committed to using only ingredients that either directly benefit the health of the skin or support the integrity of their formulations. The brand focuses on healthy pH levels, formulations the skin recognizes, small molecular structure that’s easily absorbed, and effective active ingredients that also support the skin’s acid mantle. All of their products are designed to be mixed together—that’s what Drunk Elephant calls making a smoothie. (This is true for all of their products except their sunscreen, Umbra, which sits on top of the skin, protecting it from UV damage.) The result is skin that is reset to its happiest, healthiest state.
