Decongest & Smooth Bundle

Dealing with skin texture, bumpy skin or clogged pores? Purify and decongest your skin with the ultimate cleansing duo The Cleanser & The Powder.

Bacteria, pollution, and dirt easily cling onto your skin throughout the day, and if the proper steps aren’t taken to remove them, it could lead to premature ageing, hyperpigmentation, and acne. Our soft milky gel cleanser helps rebalance and purify your skin whilst our enzyme exfoliating powder-to-cream cleanser removes dead skin cell buildup, minimises congestion & skin texture whilst leaving the skin feeling brighter and smoother.

Ideal for: congested skin, oily/combination or dull/flaky skin.

Pro-tip: Mix together and leave on for 3 minutes as a flash mask for instant soft & smooth skin.

Facialist-Recommended

"Exfoliation is a staple in any complete skin routine to improve skin texture. The Powder is my favourite method of exfoliation because it uses enzymes to gently break down any dead skin cells without affecting the skin cells underneath."

Love everything

I honestly just wish I’d found Monday Muse sooner! I rate everything I’ve tried so highly, just want to try more. I have sensitive skin and everything has been amazing

Great products but too soon to tell

I’ve been using the decongest and smooth duo for a couple of weeks now and I do think it is helping with the breakouts I’ve been experiencing for the last couple of years.
Parts of my skin have really cleared up, whilst parts of it have actually got worse. I’m going through a process though and think it’s too soon to tell how good these products will be for me in the long term. I’ve seen enough positives to want to keep going through so fingers crossed!!

calm but effective!

I got the decongest bundle and really impressed with both products, my skin feels clear and not irritated which is a problem I have had with other exfoliating products! Will definitely repurchase both

No more clogged pores

I was already obsessed with the cleanser but this the best natural enzyme exfoliant I have come across! I have oily skin so it't prone to clogged pores but this just gets rid of my blackheads on my nose and makes my skin sooo soft - 10/10 worth the hype!

I have combination skin with large pores and can be pretty bumpy. I find balm cleansers don't leave my skin feeling clean and I am prone to eczema. I love The Cleanser, it feels lovely to apply and leaves my skin clean and soft. The Powder is a revelation, again lovely to use but gentle and leaves my skin clean and glowing. Thank you!

FAQs

Why do I need an exfoliant like The Powder in my routine?

The shedding of the dead cells is vital to our skin health. Factors like ageing and the environment can cause this process to slow down.

When this happens, it causes a build-up of dead skin cells; this appears in the form of dullness, textured skin and uneven skin tone. So it's important to exfoliate the skin and ensure we are aiding this process. It will also help your other products absorb better into the skin.

My skin is sensitive and I am worried about using exfoliants - can I use this? 

If your skin is prone to sensitivity, enzymes are a great option!

Enzymes work without disrupting your skin’s microbiome, which means they’re unlikely to irritate or sensitise the skin compared to traditional exfoliants, like acids (AHAs, BHAs etc). Enzymes act like little pac men on the skin; they break down the bonds between dead cells, allowing them to be easily slewed off, leaving the skin feeling smoother. This product targets texture, congestion, flaking, dead skin cell build-up, dryness and early signs of ageing.

It is also a wash-off product, so you have more control over the application process and makes it a better alternative to those with reactive skin.

If you are still worried, you can dilute a bit of the powder with your favourite cleanser, mix it together and experience an even milder exfoliation.

How is The Powder a more gentle alternative to other exfoliants?

The Powder has a unique base of tapioca starch and colloidal oatmeal which are included ultra-fine ingredients to ensure a non-abrasive feel on the skin to minimise the risk of irritation. In addition, enzymes are known to be one of the most gentle forms of exfoliation.

If you have a history of sensitivity to exfoliants, we recommend patch testing and starting slowly. Start by mixing it in with your favourite cleanser to dilute the enzymatic action.

Can I use this alongside AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids?

You can use The Powder if you use a retinoid or similar treatment, however, we recommend that they are used on alternative nights and not on the same day. Though exfoliation is very beneficial to the skin; it promotes cell turnover, allowing dead skin to shed and new healthy skin to come toward the surface, over-exfoliating is easily done and negatively impacts the skin. Over-exfoliation can strip the barrier, leaving it sensitive and vulnerable to inflammation and redness.
