FAQ

City Detox is an Environmental Defense Powder Cleanser from Aloette’s Platinum collection that activates on contact with water, transforming into a soft, cloud-like foam that gently yet effectively purifies the skin, lightly exfoliates, and helps revive dull, congested complexions.


Powered by charcoal powder to draw out impurities, papain enzyme to gently resurface and renew, aloe vera to soothe and balance, and corn starch to help absorb excess oil, this clean Platinum formula leaves skin feeling fresh, comforted, and visibly refined—never stripped, never tight.


Ideal for all skin types, City Detox is designed for:

  • Purifying and deeply cleansing congested, dull-looking skin
  • Brightening and resurfacing for a more radiant complexion
  • Defending against urban pollution and environmental stressors
  • A gentle foam cleanse that never over-dries

Size: 1.7 fl oz/50 ml bottle. 
Packaging may vary. 

  • Powderto-Foam Deep Cleanse

  • Activates with water to create a soft, cushiony foam that lifts away impurities, excess oil, and daily environmental buildup for a refreshed, purified complexion.

  • Charcoal Powder for Clearer Skin

  • Draws out poreclogging impurities and pollution particles to help leave skin looking clearer, smoother, and more refined.

  • Papain Enzyme Brightening

  • A gentle papayaderived enzyme that helps resurface skin by dissolving dull, dead skin cells—revealing a brighter, more polished-looking complexion.

  • Soothing Aloe Vera

  • Helps calm and balance the skin during cleansing, leaving it feeling refreshed, soft, and comfortable.

  • Corn Starch Oil Control

  • Helps absorb excess surface oil and refine the look of skin texture for a smoother, more balanced finish.

  • Platinum Environmental Defense

  • A daily cleansing step designed to help remove buildup from pollution and urban stressors while supporting a visibly clearer, healthierlooking complexion.

Shake a quarter-size amount into the palm of moistened hands. Rub hands together to produce a lather. Work into skin using circular motions. Can also be mixed with your favorite cleanser for an extra boost against urban pollution. Rinse and pat dry. Follow with serums and moisturizers.

Love City Detox

I use alone as a cleanser, add to my cleansers, and to my shampoo. Once I finish using on my face and rub all over my hands and rinse.
It is great for travelling, since it is powder.
A small amount goes a long way.

At 58 I love this product. I wash my face . It lathers up just beautifully . I used it on my hands when they feel dry. And I put it in my shampoo to strip away all the residue from hair products. It is a rich lather where you only need the size of a quarter. One bottle will last me six months. Great value for your money.

Best night time cleanser

I love this cleanser for night time use. It’s so soft and light on the skin but takes all the dirt and sweat off my face. I pair it with the essential cleansing oil to double cleanse my
Face. Cleansing oil takes all the makeup off and the city detox gets everything out of my pours.

Best Cleanser!

I just started using this cleanser about six weeks ago! I absolutely love it!! First of all, I love the way you can just sprinkle the amount that you want in your palm and how it instantly lathers when you rub your hands together with just a few drops of water. Secondly, I can already tell that it will last at least for another six weeks minimum, as I have more than half left in my bottle. That’s amazing! 12 weeks for one cleanser!! Now that’s cost effective!!
Thirdly, it works amazingly well mixed with my Essential cleansing oil at night when removing my makeup!! And lastly, it makes my skin feel clean!! It opens my pores to remove excess oils and I know it works well when my cotton ball comes out clean when I use my oil control toner!!
If you have not purchased your City Detox cleanser yet, please order yours today!!

Love my City Detox. Just a little bit goes a long way. Splash a few drops of water into a dimes worth and it turns into a light foam. My face feels so fresh and clean with it. I also put a wee bit into my shampoo when i wash my hair. It leaves my hair feeling so soft and clean.

City Detox is a winner!

I can’t say enough about this cleanser. I admit I was a little skeptic of a powder cleanser but after trying it an using it for some months now, I’m a believer in this one. My skin feels so clean without any residue and it has helped to keep acne under control!

Love it

Ever since I heard that city detox can be used in my shampoo for a deeper wash that's exactly what I've been doing. I have extremely long hair so basically anything I can do to get it all clean, I'm gonna do it! I'm so glad I heard about city detox, because I dont need nearly as much of the product as I do regular shampoo!

Perfect For people who are scent sensitive

Writing this on behalf of my mother who suffers from an allergy of anything with a perfume in it. This is the only cleanser she has tried and loves. it's scentless and she has no reaction to it. She's over the moon in love with it!! Says its the best product she ever used!!

City Detox is AMAZING!

I absolutely LOVE City Detox! When I originally bought this, I thought it was just a regular charcoal cleanser. Boy, was I wrong! I have found other ways that this product can be used. Once a week or so, I mix a bit in with my shampoo and my hair comes out SO clean! It's like all the build-up from the products I used during the week (hairspray, mousse, etc...) just disappear. I also mix a bit in with my Pure Radiance and lather it up to do a deep clean on my face. You can also adjust the amount of water you use so you can get a really good lather or use less water and get a mask-like consistency. It's also great for getting paint/grease off your skin. I can't wait to find more exciting ways to use this.

I now look forward to cleansing

I first received the City Detox cleanser using my hostess rewards because I was curious and I am very pleased that I did.

The powder formula when mixed with the Pure Radiance Cleanser creates the most luxurious lather and I actually look forward to cleansing morning and night. Previously, I would dread it. The bamboo powder is a gentle but powerful exfoliant as my face never "hurts" like some exfoliants do, but instead I feel refreshed, clean and honestly, feel like my skin is much brighter. BONUS - it lasts so long, I am absolutely in love with it!!

LOVE LOVE this!!!

This product is totally under rated. I started to use this as a hair treatment for when I was getting my hair color touched up to help remove product build up. My hair dresser couldn't believe how quick the dye took compared to the past. So then I started to use it a cleanser for my face as well and I love how luxurious this feels on and it is a different type of clean. I almost want to completely switch to just using this cleanser but I love the others as well.
