How It Works
This specialised cleanser addresses a critical pre-treatment need; complete fake tan removal. Laser energy is attracted to pigment, and fake tan can cause burns, uneven results, or treatment complications. Pineapple enzymes (bromelain) and papaya enzymes (papain) work synergistically to break down the proteins binding dead, tanned skin cells. Sodium PCA maintains moisture during this intensive removal process. Allantoin soothes and conditions, preventing irritation from the exfoliation. The result is completely clean, tan-free skin that’s safe for laser treatment.

Why Fake Tan is Dangerous with Laser
Laser targets pigment. Fake tan adds artificial pigment that can cause burns, scarring, or uneven results. Complete removal is essential.
The 48-Hour Rule
Remove tan at least 48 hours before treatment to ensure complete clearance and allow skin to normalise.
Can’t I just exfoliate with a regular scrub?
Physical scrubbing may not remove tan completely. Enzymes dissolve the tanned cells more effectively.
How do I know all tan is removed?
Skin should return to natural colour with no patches or streaking visible.
Can I use this regularly?
No, this is specifically for tan removal before treatments, not daily use. It could be used weekly to remove patchy tan prior to fresh tan application.
