How Curatory Credit works

Why I chose it

It earns its place because one carefully used product can cover both cleansing and occasional exfoliation. That can be more useful than adding a separate scrub or peel that duplicates the same job.

The formula is still an active cleanser, so its versatility is only valuable when the skin is comfortable with acids and the extra exfoliation is genuinely needed.

How to introduce it

On damp skin, massage and rinse for a gentler cleanse.

For a stronger exfoliating cleanse, apply it to dry skin, massage and rinse.

To use it as a FastMask, apply it to dry skin, massage, leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use it this way no more than three times a week.

The ingredients that make this special

A closer look at the ingredients doing the most meaningful work in this formula—and what the evidence can reasonably tell us.

Glycolic Acid

An exfoliating acid that helps smooth the look of rough texture and uneven tone.

Read the clinical context

Glycolic acid loosens the bonds between dead skin cells, helping improve the look of rough texture and uneven tone. In a rinse-off cleanser, expect a gentler effect than you would from a leave-on acid.

Lactic Acid

A gently exfoliating AHA that also acts as a hydrator.

Read the clinical context

Lactic Acid isn’t just another alphahydroxy acid (AHA). Although it does also help to gently exfoliate dead skin cells away, it’s also a moisturising ingredient. Depending on the pH and concentration it can improve how well the skin holds onto water and keep the top layers of the skin soft and hydrated.

Organic Rice Beads

Fine rice-derived particles used for gentle physical exfoliation.

Read the clinical context

These very fine rice beads provide gentle physical exfoliation at a relatively low concentration. If your skin is irritated or very sensitive, you may be better off with a cleanser without physical exfoliation.

Sodium PCA

A humectant moisturiser that helps the skin hold onto water.

Read the clinical context

Sodium PCA forms part of the skin’s natural moisturising factor. It helps the surface of the skin hold onto water and can leave it feeling less dry or tight after cleansing.

More about Dr. LEVY Switzerland

Dr. LEVY Switzerland is a family-owned, doctor-led brand co-founded by Geneva dermatologist Dr Phillip Levy. The brand describes its approach as Swiss-made, clinically informed skincare built around purposeful, multifunctional formulas rather than a long routine.

The 3DEEP cleanser sits outside the brand’s stem-cell treatment line. Its role is more straightforward: a cream cleanser that can be used with different contact times to vary the level of exfoliation.
