How It Works
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is naturally produced by white blood cells as part of the body’s immune response. In skincare, it provides powerful antimicrobial action without disrupting the skin’s natural microbiome. This gentle yet effective molecule neutralises acne-causing bacteria whilst calming inflammation. The gel-to-foam transformation ensures thorough coverage without aggressive surfactants. Vitamin B5 maintains moisture balance, preventing the rebound oil production often triggered by harsh acne cleansers, while HylaTech™ ensures skin stays hydrated and comfortable.
Application Method
- Dispense 1-2 pumps into damp palms
- Create foam by rubbing hands together
- Apply to face, focusing on T-zone and congested areas
- Massage for 60 seconds
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water
Frequency
- Morning: To remove overnight sebum production
- Evening: To remove daily impurities and makeup
- Can be used twice daily even on active breakouts
Pro Tips
- Use as second cleanse after Thirstee Hydrating Cleanser for thorough purification
- Focus on areas prone to congestion (but don’t neglect dry areas)

The Balense® Philosophy
This cleanser exemplifies our balanced approach – powerful enough to purify problematic skin, gentle enough to maintain barrier integrity. It’s intelligent skincare that works with your skin, not against it.
Hypochlorous Acid Explained
Your body makes this molecule naturally to fight infection. We’ve harnessed this same technology to fight breakouts without the harshness of traditional acne ingredients.
The Microbiome Balance
Unlike harsh antimicrobials that destroy all bacteria, HOCl selectively targets harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial microbes essential for healthy skin.
Is this too drying for combination skin?
No, the formula is designed to balance, not strip. It controls oil in the T-zone whilst maintaining comfort in drier areas.
Can I use this to remove eye makeup?
Yes, this cleanser is gentle enough for the eye area. However, we recommend using Thirstee Hydrating Cleanser (our micellar water) as your first cleanse for eye makeup removal, followed by this as your second cleanse.
Can I use this with retinol?
Yes, the gentle formula works well with active treatments. The calming properties actually help reduce retinol irritation.
