How to use

Brightening Cream Cleanser

Dispense 4 pumps of cream cleanser into clean hands. Apply to damp skin and gently massage in circular motions, allowing the active botanicals to work as you go. Leave on for up to 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use morning and night for best results.

This is Step 2 of Prep — follow with Probiotic Toner to balance and prep your skin for hydration, completing the stage. Once Prep is done, move into Nourish (1–2x weekly) and Treat (daily) — then Boost if you want to go further.

Esthetician Tip: Also great on the back of arms, thighs, and butt for texture and bumps (KP). Apply, leave on 2–5 minutes, then rinse off in the shower or remove with a warm towel.

Our clinicals prove it

Formulated with organic, food-grade ingredients and backed by scientific research drawn from aeronautics, wound care, and nutritional supplementation, KPS Essentials was built to outperform — not just claim to.

We tested our formulas against the best actives and top products on the market. Here's what happened.

  • Collagen & Elastin — up over 130%, for visibly firmer, more youthful skin.
  • Hydration — up over 185%, for your healthiest skin yet.
  • Volume — a first for the industry, for fuller, more youthful skin.
  • Hyperpigmentation — a root-cause approach that fades discoloration faster and more effectively, without compromising your skin barrier.

Proven in our clinicals: 96% saw fewer blemishes, 92% reported firmer skin, 85% saw more volume, 75% a brighter complexion, and 39% fewer wrinkles — with hydration storage nearly doubled and Collagen-1 up more than 3x.

Reviews

It lives up to its name! 😃

"Love this brightening cream! The other day after taking a selfie of us while we were out on a date night, I noticed my face complexion. It's much brighter, smoother, and clearer. Absolutely love KPS and love my daily face routine. This brightening cream lives up to its name. It brightens all right!"

— OLIVIA A. (5/5)

Brightening cleaning cleanser

"Best cleanser I’ve ever used"

— Anne (5/5)

Super gentle cleanser

"So initially, I wasn’t sold on this cleanser. I’m used to cleansers that lather, and that aren’t creamy. Historically, creamy cleansers leave me with breakouts but I decided to try this because I’ve been loving all the other products. I have to say, it’s been pretty great. No breakouts and my skin is left not feeling dry at all. I leave the cleanser on for 2 minutes as directed which definitely recommend doing. The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is because it takes about 5 pumps per use and the bottle is small — so it just won’t last very long."

— alia b. (4/5)

Loving the Brightening Cream Cleanser

"I am on my 3rd bottle, along with the system. My skin just keeps getting better!"
