Antu Refreshing Gel Cleanser

The Codex Antu Refreshing Gel Cleanser gently cleans the skin and controls oil production, without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Additionally, the cleanser uses mild natural surfactants, quillay, and sodium cocoyl glutamate, to effectively clean and balance the skin.

AntuComplex (M3 antioxidant & hydrolysed hyaluronic acid) provides an antioxidant shield and relief of redness.

The Antu Gel Cleanser is MyMicrobiome certified, but also has a significant cleansing capacity with the ability to remove PM2.5 pollution. Furthermore, it is clinically proven to:

• Improve oiliness by 30%
• Decrease skin flaking by 15%
• Reduce transepidermal water loss by 14% in 4 weeks

Codex Beauty Labs is a bioscience company that combines the science of plant biology with biotech innovations. This results in a range of state-of-the-art skincare.

Working with plant scientists and ethno-botanists, Codex Beauty take pride in formulating their products with the highest quality ingredients.

The brand features two collections: Bia and Antu. The Bia hydrating collection blends native Irish botanicals and BiaComplex. This improves skin hydration and moisture retention. Furthermore, it also enhances cleansing without stripping moisture, and thus protecting the skin barrier. This collection is especially ideal for those who have sensitive skin, including psoriasis, excema and rosacea. The BiaComplex featured in this hydrating line is a patented bio-active blend which not only nourishes the skin but forms a protective, water-retaining film.

On the other hand, the Antu brightening collection harnesses the power of bio-actives from Patagonian plants. This protects and heals the skin. This collection includes a powerful antioxidant range and is beneficial for anti-aging. The featured AntuComplex was developed to soothe irritation and calm inflammation. The protective formula comprises a unique blend of M3 (matico, maqui & murtilla), and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid. Additionally, also present are plant and fruit extracts from South America, recognised for their immuno-stimulant and analgesic properties.

Codex Beauty founder Dr. Barbara Paldus created the brand in response to her concerns towards the safety, transparency, and sustainability of the skincare industry. Rather than solely thinking about ‘cosmetics’, Dr Paldus takes a, scientific, data-driven approach to skincare. All Codex skin care products are micro-biome certified which means they wont harm your microbiome, or cause inflammatory disorders.

Should Cleanser Be Used In The Morning Or Night?

Cleansers, including the Codex Gel Cleanser, should be used both in the morning and at night.

Bacteria can accumulate throughout the night and any leftover traces of night cream should also be removed by cleansing in the morning. It's also essential to use a cleanser, such as the Codex Gel Cleanser, in the evening as the skin accumulates toxins, excess oil and excess makeup. Failure to properly remove these can lead to breakouts, inflammation and acne.
