Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSHoney (Mel/Miel) ~40%Proven
The star ingredient — raw, sustainably sourced honey provides powerful antibacterial, antifungal, and humectant properties. Packed with amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that help visibly improve blemish-prone skin and maintain hydration.
- Antibacterial: Natural hydrogen peroxide production helps combat acne-causing bacteria on the skin surface.
- Humectant: Draws and retains moisture in the skin, preventing post-cleanse tightness and dryness.
- Wound Healing: Studies show honey accelerates skin cell healing processes and reduces inflammation in blemish and eczema outbreaks.
Papain (Papaya Enzyme)Proven
A proteolytic enzyme extracted from papaya fruit that provides gentle chemical exfoliation. Dissolves the protein bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be sloughed off without harsh scrubbing or irritation.
- Exfoliation: Breaks down keratin protein on the skin surface for smoother, more refined texture.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Helps calm redness and irritation while promoting even skin tone.
- Wound Healing: Contains natural glycine and Vitamin A that support skin repair processes.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green Tea)Proven
Japanese green tea extract rich in polyphenol antioxidants (EGCG, ECG, GCG, EGC) that help protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage while calming inflammation.
- Antioxidant: Polyphenols neutralize free radicals that contribute to premature aging and skin damage.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Helps soothe redness and calm reactive or stressed skin.
- Antibacterial: Catechins in green tea may help reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
Royal JellyPromising
A nutrient-rich secretion produced by worker honeybees, containing amino acids, B vitamins, minerals (calcium, zinc, iron), and powerful antioxidants including ferulic acid and quercetin.
- Anti-Aging: Ferulic acid and quercetin provide antioxidant protection against photoaging.
- Antibacterial: Helps support wound healing and skin barrier repair.
- Nourishing: Rich in sulfur, calcium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins essential for skin health.
Propolis ExtractProven
Also known as bee glue, propolis offers potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and antioxidant properties. The flavonoids found in propolis are especially effective at fighting bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
- Antimicrobial: Studies show propolis fights bacteria, viruses, and fungi — beneficial for acne-prone skin.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Helps reduce redness and calm inflamed breakouts.
- UV Defense: A 2020 study found propolis may help reverse UV-induced skin damage.
GlycerinProven
One of the most effective humectant ingredients, naturally present in healthy skin. Attracts and retains moisture in the upper skin layers, strengthening the skin barrier and providing long-lasting hydration.
- Humectant Power: A 2016 study found glycerin to be more effective than AHAs and hyaluronic acid as a humectant.

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse as your primary cleanser or as a second cleanse in a double-cleansing routine. Can also be left on for 3–5 minutes as a treatment mask for deeper exfoliation. Best used on damp skin, AM and/or PM.
How to use
HOW TO USEMoisten Your Face
Lightly dampen your face with warm water. For a stronger warming effect and better lather, you can also apply to dry skin and add water to your fingertips.
Apply a Small Amount
Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto your fingertips. A little goes a long way — the thick honey texture spreads easily once warmed between your hands.
Massage Gently
Massage evenly over face and neck in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. The warming sensation will increase with time and friction.
Leave On or Rinse
For daily cleansing, massage for 1–2 minutes then rinse. For a deeper treatment, leave on for 3–5 minutes as a mask before rinsing thoroughly with warm water.
Pat Dry & Continue
Gently pat skin dry with a clean towel. Follow with your toner, serum, and moisturizer. Skin should feel soft, clean, and hydrated — never tight or stripped.

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPESAlso uses honey, propolis, and royal jelly with hyaluronic acid. Foaming gel texture is easier to rinse. Larger size (5 oz) at a lower price. Lacks the warming effect and enzyme exfoliation, and contains essential oil-based fragrance.
Propolis-focused K-beauty cleanser with gentle cleansing and antibacterial benefits. Much more affordable but lacks the warming sensation, high honey concentration (40%), and papaya enzyme exfoliation. Lighter gel texture.
French pharmacy honey-based cleansing gel. Gentle, non-stripping, and affordable. No warming effect, no enzyme exfoliation, and no propolis or royal jelly. Doubles as a body wash for travel convenience.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. The Warming Honey Cleanser is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, benzoyl peroxide, or chemical sunscreen filters — the ingredients most commonly flagged as unsafe during pregnancy. Its clean formula of 14 ingredients relies on honey, glycerin, and papaya enzymes, all of which are pregnancy-compatible. However, as with any skincare product, consult your obstetrician or midwife before use for personalized guidance.
No. This cleanser is not considered fungal acne safe. It contains Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters and Polysorbate 80, both of which can feed Malassezia yeast and potentially worsen fungal acne. Myristic Acid, a fatty acid, is also present and may be a trigger for some individuals. If you are dealing with fungal acne (malassezia folliculitis), look for a cleanser without esters, polysorbates, and fatty acids.
Yes, with some caution. Since this cleanser contains papain (a mild enzyme exfoliant), layering it with strong AHAs or BHAs in the same routine may cause over-exfoliation. It pairs well with retinol and vitamin C serums applied after cleansing. If you use prescription-strength retinoids or high-percentage acids, consider alternating nights or using the Warming Honey Cleanser on non-exfoliation days to avoid irritation.
This cleanser is best suited for combination and acne-prone skin types, but it works well across all skin types. The antibacterial properties of honey and propolis make it particularly effective for blemish-prone skin, while glycerin and honey keep it hydrating enough for dry skin. Sensitive skin users report excellent tolerance thanks to the clean, fragrance-free formula. Oily skin benefits from the pore-refining enzyme exfoliation.
Most users notice softer, smoother skin immediately after the first use. Within 1–2 weeks of consistent use, you should see reduced flaking, smoother texture, and cleaner-looking pores. By weeks 3–4, visible pore refinement, fewer breakouts, and a brighter, more even skin tone become apparent. Full benefits — including balanced oil production and a consistently clear complexion — typically develop over 2–3 months of regular use.
Use it as your primary cleanser (Step 1) or as the second step in a double-cleansing routine after an oil or balm cleanser removes makeup and sunscreen. Apply to damp face, massage for 1–2 minutes, then rinse. Follow with toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (AM). It can also be used as a 3–5 minute treatment mask for deeper exfoliation 2–3 times per week.
The comedogenic rating is approximately 2 out of 5 (low risk). While ingredients like Myristic Acid and Polysorbate 80 have some comedogenic potential in leave-on products, this is a rinse-off cleanser with very short skin contact time, which significantly reduces any pore-clogging risk. Most acne-prone users report no increase in breakouts, and many see improvement in pore congestion thanks to the enzyme exfoliation.
The product has a 12-month Period After Opening (PAO). In terms of how long the tube lasts with regular use, many users report that a pea-sized amount per use makes the 4 oz tube last 6–9 months with once-daily use. Some reviewers who use it more sparingly (2–3 times per week) have reported their tube lasting up to a year. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly sealed.
Verdict: The iS Clinical Warming Honey Cleanser is a standout treatment cleanser that combines a truly luxurious sensory experience with real clinical results. Its unique self-warming formula, 40% raw honey concentration, and gentle papaya enzyme exfoliation deliver a deep cleanse that leaves skin soft, bright, and hydrated — not stripped. The ultra-clean 14-ingredient formula is a refreshing departure from complex, overly formulated cleansers. It excels for combination and acne-prone skin types and is pregnancy safe, making it a versatile choice. The premium price point is the main drawback, but the small amount needed per use means one tube lasts far longer than expected. Not suitable for fungal acne sufferers or those with bee product allergies.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
