The Sothys Iconic Cleansers: Three Legendary Formulas, Now Enhanced

There’s something rather special about a skincare product that stands the test of time. While the beauty industry races through trends at breakneck speed, certain formulas prove their worth decade after decade. Sothys’ iconic cleansers are exactly that. They’re heritage products that have earned their cult status through sheer performance.

Now, these three legendary formulas have been reimagined with pomegranate enzymes, bringing modern innovation to time-tested excellence.

The Morning Cleanser: Your Daily Essential Since 1988

Some cleansers strip. Some merely rinse. This one actually nourishes.

The Morning Cleanser has built its reputation on being that rare thing: a daily cleanser your clients will actually look forward to using. The new formulation combines exfoliating pomegranate enzymes with chamomile extract and sweet almond oil, creating an unctuous cream that removes impurities without compromising the skin barrier.

What makes it genuinely versatile is its suitability for both morning and evening use—no need for your clients to juggle multiple products. The results speak volumes: 90% of users reported softer, more supple skin from the very first use, with benefits that compound over time.

Why your clients will love it: It’s that perfect balance of effective cleansing and skin-conditioning luxury. The citrus-floral-woody scent adds a sensorial element that transforms a basic routine step into a moment of self-care.

Best for: All skin types, particularly clients seeking a single, reliable cleanser that works morning and night.

Desquacrem: The Deep Cleanser with 76 Years of Heritage

Since 1950, Desquacrem has been Sothys’ answer to truly deep cleansing—the kind that leaves skin feeling reset rather than stripped.

This isn’t your standard cleansing paste. The unique soapy texture emulsifies beautifully, working through a distinctive double-cleanse technique that ensures thorough removal of impurities, makeup residue, and daily environmental build-up. The reformulation with pomegranate enzymes and phytosqualane delivers both deep cleansing and suppleness, two qualities that rarely coexist.

The clinical results are impressive: 95% of users experienced immediate deep cleansing and a noticeably brighter complexion.

The technique matters here. Applied to damp skin, left for one minute, then lathered and rinsed—twice. It’s a ritual that clients will appreciate for its thoroughness, especially those who wear makeup daily or live in urban environments.

Why your clients will love it: That deeply cleansed, radiant feeling without the tightness. It’s particularly brilliant for clients who find standard cleansers leave their skin feeling… incomplete.

Best for: All skin types, especially those needing thorough cleansing without compromise. Excellent for makeup wearers and urban dwellers.

Biological Skin Peeling: Dual-Action Exfoliation Since 1992

Exfoliation has evolved considerably, and Sothys was ahead of the curve with this granule-free formula that combines enzymatic and physical exfoliation.

The genius lies in the dual approach: pomegranate enzymes dissolve dead skin cells while kaolin, rice starch, and oat flour powders provide gentle physical buffing. Jasmine extract adds a soothing element, making this suitable even for sensitive complexions that typically shy away from exfoliators.

The results are clinically proven: +44% improvement in complexion radiance, with 95% of users reporting immediate smoothing effects that continue with regular use.

Application is key: Apply to clean, dry skin, leave for three minutes, then massage in circular motions starting with the T-zone before rinsing. Once or twice weekly is sufficient. This is powerful yet refined exfoliation.

Why your clients will love it: Visible smoothness and glow without irritation or that over-scrubbed feeling. The granule-free formula means no risk of microtears or sensitivity.

Best for: All skin types seeking brighter, smoother skin. Particularly effective for dull, congested, or uneven skin tones.

Why These Reformulations Matter 

For salons, spas, and skincare professionals, these reformulated cleansers represent more than just updated products. They’re proven performers with heritage credibility that clients trust.

The pomegranate enzyme enhancement brings these classics into the current skincare conversation around gentle yet effective exfoliation. Your clients are increasingly informed about ingredients and seeking products that deliver results without aggression. These tick both boxes.

Moreover, the versatility across skin types means simplified stock management while still offering tailored solutions. Whether your client needs daily maintenance, deep cleansing, or weekly renewal, there’s an iconic Sothys cleanser that fits.

In an industry obsessed with the next new thing, there’s profound confidence in recommending products that have been perfecting skin for decades. The Morning Cleanser, Desquacrem, and Biological Skin Peeling aren’t trying to reinvent cleansing—they’ve already done that. This reformulation simply enhances what already worked beautifully.

For your clients, that means tried-and-tested formulas now turbocharged with modern innovation. For your business, it means stocking products with genuine heritage, proven results, and the kind of repeat purchase loyalty that builds sustainable success.
