With the help of patent-pending XDF™ (Transdermal Flavosomes) encapsulated technology, ingredients target inflammation, irritation, and flare-ups at the source.
- Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG): A green tea–derived flavonoid proven to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress associated with redness and breakouts.
- Quercetin: A potent antioxidant that stabilizes skin’s response to mechanical exfoliation.
- Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder: Finely milled for controlled exfoliation without micro-tearing and irritation.
- Squalane: A biomimetic lipid that replenishes moisture without clogging pores or leaving residue.
Full Ingredients List: Water (Aqua), Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Glyceryl Laurate, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Ethoxydiglycol, Xanthan Gum, Squalane, Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate, Phenoxyethanol, Epigallocatechin Gallate, Quercetin
Powered by patent-pending XDF™ (Transdermal Flavosomes), our pharmaceutical-grade delivery system designed to transport bioactive flavonoids into living skin tissue, rather than leaving them on the surface.
- 75% Transdermal delivery: Franz Cell studies confirm 75% of applied flavonoids reach viable skin tissue
- 400× Better than conventional skincare: Independent flux measurements vs. published literature baseline demonstrate 400x better penetration
In stressed human dermal fibroblasts, XDF™-delivered flavonoids reduced key inflammatory markers by 87–99%, directly interrupting the biological signals that drive redness, irritation, and flare activity.
In independent testing, XDF™-delivered flavonoids demonstrated:
- 87–88% reduction in IL-6
- 98–99% reduction in IL-8
- 91% reduction in TNF-α
- Complete normalization of CRP to baseline levels
Together, these markers represent the core drivers of visible inflammation, flare severity, delayed healing, and barrier disruption. The result is immediate interruption of active irritation and durable protection against future flare cycles.
In a clinical trial evaluating the EQ Clear Skin Collection:
- Results were comparable to traditional harsh OTC acne treatments
- Formulas were gentle enough for daily use
- No barrier damage or irritation was observed
Demonstrating therapeutic-level outcomes without relying on irritation-driven mechanisms.
Use 2–4 times per week. Apply to damp skin, massage gently using light pressure, and rinse thoroughly. Follow with serum and moisturizer.
E.Q. Exfoliating Cleanser
I really love the Mark Los Angeles Exfoliating Cleanser.
This cleanser makes my skin feel great, and very clean.
Cleans well without being too harsh.
I'm really impressed and in love with this cleanser - the bottle is chic and beautiful and feels so nice to use and the product itself feels so good: it's gentle yet feels like a deep clean and my face is left looking so refreshed after. I can't wait to try more products!
This EQ Exfoliating Cleanser by Mark Los Angeles is a high quality cleanser that is plant based with squalane, EGCG, quercetin and other antioxidants. I love that it is basically unscented and that it is made in the USA! The exfoliant that is used in this product are walnut shells instead of plastic beads which is so much better for the environment. The exfoliant is mild but feels very effective. My face feels very clean and not too dried out after using. I like that the consistency of this is more of a cleanser versus an exfoliant as I feel I could use this twice a day with no issues. Sometimes exfoliants are too thick and gritty and you only can use it every few days because of that. Not with this product! The glass bottle makes this cleanser feel very high end and the pump is easy to use and close for travel with the included safety cap. My husband and teen daughter has also tried this cleanser out and loved how clean it made their skin. Now I just need to hide it from them so they don’t keep using it. Highly recommended!
From the bottle, I assumed it would a chemical exfoliant. This pumped out on the physical side so don't use it on tret mornings but any other day is great. I like the color and it worked best on my jawline, forehead and neck. My husband said it worked well on his entire face except upper lip area. Behind our head/neck along the hairline it was amazing. We liked it for ourselves and recommend it to people that want a softer physical exfoliant. It's pricey but you can make it worth it by leaving it on your face for an extra 30-40 sec to act as a mask.
