Bridging the gap between skincare and men, the powerful peppermint face cleanser is causing guys everywhere to ditch the use of bar soap for face care. The secret behind this movement and the cleanser's success is in its pharmacist-built lipid-rich formulation that acts as a powerful topical supplement and facial wash for acne.

With the MOX Skincare Peppermint Cleanser shaking up the way people view men’s skincare and acne, the hashtag #banthebar has appeared. This campaign was created to champion real-life men who are ditching their bar soap after realizing that it can actually cause acne and inflammation. (Plus, your face deserves better than a bar soap beating!)

The Peppermint Cleanser is proven in clinical testing to remove surface dirt and oil. But – here’s the kicker – it apparently won’t strip away the skin’s moisture and natural oils like many harsh bar soaps and cleansers can. Clinical testing also shows that due to this, the MOX cleanser will leave the skin feeling ( and looking) clean, hydrated, and clear.

According to the product's mass five-star reviews, many men are mentioning the cleanser’s amazing capabilities when it comes to banishing acne. Some are even claiming that it doubles as an incredible shaving cream that leaves their skin clear and young-looking. Others say that the cleanser acts as an alarm clock by waking their skin up and promoting clarity. 

But with so many claims that the MOX Skincare Peppermint Cleanser works way better and more efficiently than bar soap for acne-susceptible skin – could it really be that much more soap-erior?

According to Pharmacist Ben, “Cleansing is the hardest thing people do to their skin. This is because dirt and natural skin oils are in the same place,” he explains. “To get rid of dirt, you have to get rid of natural skin oils. The challenge with a cleanser is to create a formulation that cleans the skin without disturbing these oils.”

Pharmacist Ben went into the cleanser’s creation process knowing that the skin's natural oils are crucial to promoting skin health and keeping acne at bay, so ridding the skin of them wasn’t an option. His decision to formulate the cleanser to be lipid-rich is the reason it’s able to maintain the skin’s natural oils while also cleansing thoroughly to help manage acne.

Cleansers and lipids don’t mesh well. In fact, mixing a lipid with a surfactant (the cleansing agent) usually stops the surfactant from being able to clean. MOX was able to find a solution by mixing a high concentration of lipids with a gentle surfactant – which instead of disturbing the cleansing action of the surfactant – enhances it.

“With the Invigorating Peppermint Cleanser, you get a cleanser that’s almost like a moisturizing lotion because it’s so lipid-rich. If you’ve ever noticed, many cleansers are watery,” Pharmacist Ben states. “Ours has a unique consistency due to the lipids that not only thoroughly cleanse without disturbing the skin’s natural oils, but also moisturize. It works as an incredible shaving cream, too.”

While the skin’s natural oils get a bad rep, it’s not entirely deserved. Natural oils like sebum are actually why the skin is so self-sufficient. In fact, studies have shown that sebum possesses antibacterial properties that can stop the growth of acne-triggering bacteria.

If too much sebum is produced, it can combine with dead skin cells to block the skin’s pores, ultimately nourishing acne-causing bacteria. This process triggers inflammation, resulting in the typical symptoms of a pimple, such as redness, swelling, and tenderness. 

By regularly cleansing your skin with the MOX Invigorating Peppermint Cleanser, you can eliminate excess sebum and dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of your skin, while retaining the right amount of natural oils required for a healthy, acne-free complexion.

Did you know that large pores can be an indication of huge oil glands, and people with oily skin tend to have more acne than those with normal or dry skin? Luckily, participants that took part in the MOX Invigorating Peppermint Cleanser Clinical Study found their pores shrinking by up to 10% after four weeks of daily use. :

While bar soap has been a staple in bathrooms for centuries, the slippery little guys are seemingly being casted out with the #banthebar movement in relation to the MOX Invigorating Peppermint Cleanser. But with this movement, comes a few questions: Why is using bar soap not the best thing for your face? Do bar soaps cause acne?

Pharmacist Ben has a lot to say on the subject: “Bar soap is very alkaline by nature and by definition, but the skin is acid. Since bar soaps are alkaline, they are going to be drying and leave a film on the skin,” he explains. “And alkaline sticks to acid, which means that the soap is going to leave a residue behind.”

It’s been well-documented throughout the history of bar soaps that when you use one in the shower, you commonly end up with soap residue in your shower. That same residue is on the skin, too! The alkaline nature of bar soap has also been associated with acne, irritation, dryness, and a disturbance in the skin’s naturally acidic pH.

“With the MOX Invigorating Peppermint Cleanser, we’ve solved the problem of cleansers stripping the skin of its natural oils, ultimately causing dryness and acne,” Pharmacist Ben says. “But we also neutralized the issue with bar soaps by creating an acid cleanser that has a low pH to be more skin-friendly. It doesn’t leave a residue and makes your skin feel clean, soft, and clear.” 

While the pharmacist-created MOX invigorating Peppermint Cleanser is formulated to clean the skin without disrupting its natural oils, many men have reported additional benefits and other uses within their satisfied reviews:
