Here’s the short version: the ICD Cleansing Powder Wash is a water-activated powder cleanser powered by a plant-derived papain enzyme — it gently dissolves built-up dead skin without the grit of a physical scrub. It’s a nice weekly-to-twice-weekly exfoliation step for dull, rough-feeling skin. If you’re already exfoliating heavily with acids or retinoids, you can skip adding another one.

What it is

What is the Cleansing Powder Wash?

It’s a fine powder that activates into a gentle lather when mixed with water. A plant-derived papain enzyme softens and dissolves surface buildup without the physical friction of scrub beads, while the formula is designed at a skin-similar pH to avoid over-stripping.

Papain Enzyme

A plant-derived enzyme that gently dissolves dead skin cell buildup without physical scrubbing.

Skin-Similar pH

Formulated close to skin’s own pH to protect the barrier and avoid post-wash tightness.

Water-Activated Powder

A fine powder texture that turns into a light foam only once mixed with water — easy to dose and travel-friendly.

The method

How to use it

1
Prep
Dispense a small amount of powder into a lukewarm, wet palm.
2
Lather and massage
Rub your hands together until the powder fully dissolves into a foam, then massage gently over the face.
3
Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water for a refreshed, residue-free finish.

Pairs well with

RIMAN suggests pairing this with the Moisture Cleansing Oil as a two-step cleanse — oil first to break down makeup and buildup, then this powder wash 1–2× a week for exfoliation.

The honest part

What it realistically does — and doesn’t

What you can expect: a gentler alternative to physical scrubs, with a real short-term boost in glow and smoothness right after washing. That’s a solid, well-scoped job for an enzyme powder cleanser. The honest limitation: this is a surface-level, immediate-use effect, not a substitute for a full exfoliation routine if you have deeper texture concerns. Use it a few times a week, not as a daily cleanser, to avoid over-exfoliating. Educational content, not medical advice — results vary.

The decision

Buy or skip: who this cleanser is for

Buy it if

  • Your skin looks dull or feels rough
  • You want a gentle, enzyme-based exfoliant
  • You like a travel-friendly powder format

Skip it if

  • You already exfoliate regularly with acids or retinoids
  • You want a daily-use, non-exfoliating cleanser
  • Your skin is very reactive to exfoliation

Bottom line: the ICD Cleansing Powder Wash is a gentle, effective enzyme exfoliant with real short-term gains in glow and smoothness. A great weekly step for dull, rough skin; easy to skip if your exfoliation routine is already full.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How often should I use it?

A. As an exfoliating step, not a daily cleanser — a few times a week is a reasonable starting point, adjusted to how your skin responds.

Q. Can I use it with retinoids or acids?

A. Be cautious about stacking exfoliation methods. If you already use acids or retinoids regularly, you likely don’t need this as well — or use it less often to avoid over-exfoliating.

Q. Does the powder feel gritty?

A. It’s designed to dissolve into a foam via the papain enzyme rather than relying on physical scrub particles, so it should feel smoother than a bead-based scrub.

Q. Why is there a surcharge at checkout?

A. A 3.6% surcharge currently applies at checkout due to import tariffs. The $36 price is before that surcharge; confirm the final total at the retailer.
