I am literally obsessed with Cody Montarbo skin care! Everything is fabulous, to the point!!! I specifically love, how he uses the acids! Amazing! And, all his team soo amazing and knowledgeable! I totally recommend it!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Nate Y.
Its like a mini facial at home! Every Sunday I treat myself to an at home facial, and it starts with the advanced cleanser, followed by the Salicylic acid, a few drops of vitamin B&C, peptides then the hydrating mask.
You will totally wake up looking refreshed and better than ever!
Luisa
Such a great exfoliating cleanser! I noticed improvement in my skin’s texture and clarity soon after incorporating this product into my routine.
Neema
I always have this cleanser in rotation.
It foams up beautifully and super potent.
Little goes a long way!
Love ❤️
Alisa W.
This is a must have for me, and to get two, for the price of one, is amazing!!!!!
Georgina
This product stings a bit after you apply it, but it does freshen the skin. I'll be able to use it several days a week.
Irina L.
I use Cody’s Advanced Exfoliation Cleanser forever! Love it! The best cleanser ever!
Irina
The best of the best product! Using it for soo many years!
Maria
Montarbo skincare is by far the best! Love this part of my regimen! Great exfoliant
Alisa
I absolutely love this cleaner, a little bit goes a long way, this is a must have for me.
Maria
Exfoliating Dream this wash is for me. It’s so helpful in the skincare regimen

This cleanser is insanely good & I’d say necessary for brown-skinned girlies. It’s almost like a short contact therapy mask that will effectively clear up ANYTHING you have going on. I use it almost nightly, and I especially use it if I have a breakout, allergic reaction or if I’ve accidentally scratched my face. It basically super-speeds up the time it takes for bumps & scars to heal. For me, my facial bumps and cuts dry up/scab up, and as I continue using the cleanser, any scabs eventually dry up & fall off in a matter of days, leaving behind perfect skin. I’m a fitzpatrick V, so when I scar, the marks stay around for YEARS. Not with this cleanser (in addition to the vitamin Cs in this line). I could go on & on, great value for the product since one bottle lasts forever. This is my favorite acid product from Montarbo, hands down. Period, the end.
Neema M.
Best cleanser!!!! It really gets into the pores. Not to mention this cleanser will improve tone and texture. This cleanser even gets rid of my Milia!!!
Highly recommend for combination and oily skin.
Amelia C.
I use this for fine lines and texture with actual noticeable results, and my teenage use it for and prone skin as well. Somehow it's gentle and also effective. I only need to use 1-2x week.
Lynda R.
Product is a great exfoliant cleanser! Never run out of it...
Kesha S.
Makes my skin feel extra clean and soft really love this cleanser. Very strong only use once a week it’s a facial in a bottle.
Merlande J.
amazing product
Carolyn T.
Love the way it makes my skin feel clean and moist.
Kesha
Too strong for me burnt my face. Scared to use it again caused me to have hyperpigmentation
Debra J.
This Exfoliating Cleanser rocks all over the place. I adore it. I alternate days with the Exfoliating Cleanser and the Gentle Glow Cream Cleanser and it works like a charm. Forget all the other crap out there and just buy this. Thank you Crystal and Cody.
Amalie A.
If I had to pick one product I just can not live without, it would have to be this amazing cleanser! <3
Not only does the product help with my breakouts, but it also leave my skin so fresh and more youthful + it is also the best product to use if you struggle with ingrown hairs.
Thank you so much, Cody for making this product <3
Jenn B.
This is the best, most active cleanser I've ever used! Cuts thru makeup, thick moisturizer, sunscreen, sebum to leave my skin clean & exfoliated! I'll never be without this cleanser! Even bought a backup!
Michelle B.
My pic is a before and after. It says it all.
The before pic is me this summer when I was swimming everyday, working outside in the garden and yes- I wore 40 spf. My skin felt soft but looked like a blotchy brown mess.
The after is of me having used this exfoliating cleanser for a week, every other day. It literally faded all my blotchy areas, smoothed out texture that I didn’t even realize was there until it was gone. My pores are less noticeable and I’m not wearing any makeup in the pic.
Montarbo skin care has followed through with the claims each product makes.
The price point is in my budget ( Skinceuticals is not) and actually does what it says. If I had to pick only one product from this line it would be a close call between this cleanser and the vitamin C. But if you want to eradicate summer damage and can only get one thing- get this. It’s amazing.
Maria G.
Absolutely love the exfoliating cleanser! It’s a must have for your skincare regimen. Love how it leaves the skin, it’s the best exfoliating cleanser out there!
Michael W.
I ❤️ love the products I’ve tried! ( ✨Sorry, photos are just not my thing) and I don’t do ! Reviews !

This is amazing- it closes my pores so it looks as though I have none, instantly when I wash with it(at night). It’s also not too harsh, not too weak, I love this product!!!
Daphney F.

Literally first day used I seen and felt a huge difference. My pore where smaller and face smoother. These products have brought back my confidence to the point where no ome can tell me nothing. Thank you Montarbo for working hard on keeping us beautiful.
Migdalia A.
This stuff is the holy grail to my face. The amount of change in such short period of time is crazy
Ginger P.
This cleanser is my favorite! My skin feels clean and refreshed without feeling tight or stripped! It's my go to a few times a week. My skin is so much clearer now!
Jennifer M.
I can’t live without it!
Page B.
Listen up! You got big pores?!
Got black heads? Tiny white heads? Not. Any. More. This product is your saving grace!
best secret ever- try it on DRY skin first. Voilà! Clear skin for 2022! Add the Salicylic acid product after the wash. Feel the perfectly cleansed texture. Now your skin is perfectly prepped for your skin will drink your moisturizer or serum! Always finish with sunblock.
I swear by my 55 years old face and decades of skin products and lasers….these are my two every day products!
Do your face a favor, try it!
Rachel G.
I love this cleanser! I use this before bed every night and I actually did a hydrofacial after using it consistently for a month and I had barely any dirt/anything in the water after my hydrofacial which means this SERIOUSLY WORKS!! Even the spa techs were impressed and sold on the product after they saw how clean my skin actually was from this product. Will be the only cleanser I use from now on. Thank you!
Jenny Hillman
I usually have stubborn acne that refuses to go away and when it does, it leaves a scar. I started using the facial cleanser from Montarbo Skincare and wow! Cleared my acne right up. After years of using CerVe I’ve stopped and I’m only using Montarbo Skincare products.
Page
I’ve been treating my skin to amazing products and laser treatments for 25 years now. This is hands down THE BEST product I have ever bought for cleaning my skin (prepping it for deep-penetrating night serums).
I use this daily. I also use the Gentle Cleanser on days when I want my skin cleaned and a break from this strong treatment. They work great as an alternating team.
Do yourself a favor and try the VitC Serum after. Either cleanser and the VitC serum is a serious game changer in skin care.
Plus, watch Cody’s videos. They’re priceless with advice and just a down-to-earth kindness. He’s a skin guru who makes thing so common sense that the mystery to skin care becomes easy as long as you follow his advice.
Rupal B
if you get just one thing from the Montarbo arsenal... GET THIS! I never paid too much attention to cleaners and would save my money and splurge on serums, but besides having high quality Vit C serums, Cody has created a beyond amazing cleanser! I use this 3 times/weekly and alternate with the other gentler cleansers, but with this advanced cleanser ALONE... my face is clearer and brighter IMMEDIATELY! my skin journey has taken me to many highs and many lows... THIS is the ultimate weapon to have in your routine... I promise!
Marlen
Amazing face cleanser! It removes layers of dirt and clogged pores. I will re purchase for sure.
Jennifer
In my opinion, this is a great first option from Montarbo Skincare’s selection. I can’t live without it and the bottle last me months! This wash is imperative to see results from your other skincare products I think
Alisa Washington
I love â¤ï¸ this cleanser, I pray that it will always be available to purchase. It does exactly what it's suppose to do. I'm so glad I found Montarbo skincare products, I'm hooked. Finally, products that work.
Tricia
I started using this 5 months ago and loved using this with the salicylic acid serum. The exfoliation i get makes my skin really shine and glowing! Although my bumps are still there it somehow reduces it when i use these products! I only do this like every 10 days because my skin becomes sensitive esp as i am using retinol and glycolic cream too.
Jana Stewart
I am very pleased with this product. Take it easy at first because it is professional grade and follow the directions. It did cause redness and drying when I first started using, but your skin will adjust. Great product and will purchase again. Thanks for making great skincare!
Myra Urquidez
My skin is looking so much better after using this cleanser. I feel the tingling which tells me it’s working and preparing my skin for the vitamin C and skin lightener. All your products work really well together. Thank you Cody for creating an excellent product!
Christopher
Purchased this cleanser by mistake, but pleasantly surprised at how well it works. May be a bit too strong for my skin type though. Will probably stick to the original version.
Rosalind Mcdade
Excellent product. Do feel that my skin is very clean
Donna Cone
Oh I'm extremely happy with CLEANSER
Cicely
This cleanser is awesome! Cody mentioned that this cleanser doesn't tingle, but it gently bites. Those bubbles are biting away allthat discoloration and unevenness! I leave it on my problem dark areas for a few seconds longer and it goes to work! Great product! Thank you, Cody!
Anne Armitage
My daughter turned me onto this line of products and I will be continuing my use of them! Can't wait to try more!
Jan
Fabulous product - use also on my legs and sun spots are getting lighter!
Heidi
This is a another wonderful product. Its a great starter for Codys exfoliaters. The minute you apply this to your face you feel it. I had a little purging but that's a good thing! But def start slow, its strong! Glowing skin after!
Kim Dornan
This is an amazing product !!! Since using it for the last year i have fallen in love . I can't be without it . I don't know how it does what it does ,but i can say it has helped even out my complexion , helped with my acne prone skin , and been a game changer . I am so happy i found this company. I only use their products !
Brian H.
This cleanser is a game changer for me. An active exfoliant that is the right balance without sensitizing. Love this cleanser!
Michael
Best cleanser I have used to clear my breakouts even my dermatologist wanted to know what I was using.
Jill Kennison
I love this cleanser. I am not able to use it daily yet, but hoping to build up to daily exfoliation. I can already see a huge difference, combined with the Vitamin C 20% Serum applied after …..will never use anything else.
Jan
This does an excellent job of removing flakes from Retin A or peels. I have even used on my lower legs on sun spots and they are getting lighter!
Normita Dela pena
Since i used advanced exfoliating cleanser my skin looked differentn and flawless.
Mhilet
Love it!! I hope though it removes my 1 big brown spot. Really bothers me.
Kelly A.
Wow! The tingling sensation is wow! Be sure to follow the specific instructions when first using the product. IT IS POTENT! The results are great. Seeing changes
Normita Dela pena
Since they recommended this product to me i start using it i never try any other product for me this is the best
Michelle (Moe)
I've tried this for about a month now and I love it. I'm able to use it every other night as I have been using Montarbo exfoliating products for a few years. This does not burn or irritate. It stays foamy longer than it’s predecessor and has no scent. After I use this my skin feels VERY deep cleaned but not stripped. There is no reason to spend my money on any other products anymore. This is proven to work to deep clean, brighten and soften my face. All I need to keep my melasma to a bare minimum is this cleanser, the Vit c serum and retinol. I highly recommend this trio. These products do exactly what they say. No hype. No scams.
Cicely
This Advanced Exfoliating Cleanser is amazing! I use about four pumps and those bubbles go to work; my discoloration and other skin imperfections off! I think Cody said it...no way! Those bubbles help you have a fantastic glow! I have to use a great moisturizer afterwards. And I have built up a tolerance so now I can use it four days a week! Great product, Cody! Thank you for this greatness in a bottle! XOXO
Ruth Fry
This product absolutely work even for my very sensitive skin. At first I was skeptical to use it as it say “Advanced exfoliating†I thought it would be very strong product and it might be very harsh for my sensitive thin skin. There’s a little bit itsy-bitsy tingling sensation on your skin but don’t panic it’s the active ingredient that is working! Just wash with water quickly and the tingling will simply go away. After I cleansed my face I immediately felt the smoothness of my skin and I just love touching and feeling the smoothness of it. The powerful ingredients will go deeply to your skin and cleanse it. no strong scents or perfume which I love about it, it kinda reminds me of a scent of a baby and this product has no added or filler ingredients, it exactly gives you what’s on the label. To some people who has a very sensitive skin like mine I advice to work on your skin. Allow the product to build and work on your skin slowly. When it’s too much just give it a break for awhile and build it up again, when your skin get use to the product you will really feel good about this skincare and you can't live without it anymore! Over all this skincare is a bombshellâ¤ï¸
Debra Jean
OMG I think I died and went to heaven with the new formula. I don't wear much makeup and just use RetinA or Retinol at night (I like to alternate things for fun lol) and this cleanser is the best cleanser in the universe. With the new formula I noticed a beautiful difference in my skin the first time I used it at night. Cody you Rock . Thank you so much for making this amazing cleanser for us. XOXOXOXOXOX
Joy
Cody you are the best! I love your products! I am on Retin A looking for a product to take me to that next level and I found it with your Exfoliating cleanser. I noticed a brightness to my face quickly. Your products are fantastic, please continue taking skincare to the next level. Your amazing, I watch you on YouTube, I have learned so much! Sending Much love .
Joy Josits
I love, love, love your Exfoliating Cleanser! This is my second time ordering and I just can’t get enough!!! I am just over 50 and for 25 years . Being blonde and blue eyed I always wanted that deep California tan to highlight my beautiful blonde hair even more. I have found that the Exfoliating Cleanser brings just enough exfoliation to compliment my Retin A regiment. Thank you so much Cody. I find you very knowledgeable, you seem very sincere I could see us hanging out. Your beauty is inside and out. I appreciate your skin care advice .
Amanda
I've tried any and all facial cleansers. From drug store brands to really expensive ones from the high end medi-spa, and this, by far, is the best. With a price point right in the middle. It leaves my 45 year old skin glowing, supple, plump, fresh and clean, and is the very important 1st step to my skin care routine. Try it, you’ll never use another cleanser again!
Geri Z.
I start and end my day with this amazing product. I've noticed that using this product regularly neutralizes my skin--that's HUGE for me. I live in a very dry climate and my skin tends to be very oily because it's over compensating. My skin no longer ping pongs between oily and dry. I'd recommend this product to anyone-- It's a major game changer!
Lyne
First I would like to thank Cody for his awesome customer care. God bless you indeed. Second, this product is just awesome! At first I thought it won't work, but it surprised me big deal. It's a miracle worker
Della Stern
I have been using glycolic cleansers for years. By far this is the best
Brenda Ray
I am 58 yrs old and have been using this about 3 weeks now and I love it! My face is so much smoother and glowy. My fine lines and wrinkles are much less noticeable! I will definitely repurchase!
Kim
I really like this cleanser. It is a gentle giant. It feels so gentle going on but the next day I really exfoliate which is what I want
Elaine Richards
I love it. It makes my skin look great.
Lisa Nguyen
CODY IS PASSIONATE ABOUT SKINCARE. IT SHOWS IN HIS PRODUCTS. ILLUMINATING LIFT EXFOLIATING CLEANSER IS MY HOLY GRAIL TO LIGHTEN THE DARK SPOTS ON MY CHEEKS + FOREHEAD. I FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON USING TWICE A DAY. ONCE A WEEK I WILL APPLY WITHOUT RINSING. NOT ONLY HAS IT BROKEN UP MY NASTY SPOTS, IT TIGHTENS MY PORES, LEAVES MY SKIN GLOWING; HEALTHY. PLUS THE PACKAGING IS AWESOME, PUMP OUT A FEW PUMPS OF CLEANSER. THERES NO CROSS CONTAMINATION. BIG PLUS ILLUMINATING LIFT LIGHTLY FOAMS AND LAST A LONG TIME. NEVER DISCONTINUE THIS WINNER. ?? THANK YOU CODY
Nancy Sanders
I have purchased and re-purchased the illuminating skin lift Cleanser! The difference between my skin then and my skin now boggles the mind! My skin is so much smoother and brighter, and it seems to be helping me with a stubborn spot on my right cheek that I’ve been dealing with for a while now. Sale or no sale, I will never be without this product! This will stay in my arsenal on the main shelf. Thank you Cody, my gorgeous friend!
Diane Joa
This product is amazing! I am dealing with a lot of dry shedding skin due to starting tretinon.The old skin literally rolled off to reveal beautiful new skin.
Nancy Sanders
I saved and saved to be able to purchase this product! I am handicapped and live on a very fixed income. When I told my son how sad I was that it was taking too long for me to save the small amount, he purchased it for me! This is the best glycolic wash I have ever used! When used correctly, my face glows in the dark! Thank you Cody, my gorgeous friend! You have created a magnificent product that I hope I never have to live without!
Liliana Sosa
The illuminating lift cleanser is one of the best and very active product that I have ever try for my melasma, I’m very impressed and I will recommend and buy again!! Thank you so much Cody!
Diane Joa
I bought the wash along with the lactic brightening treatment and all I can say is WOW! I am fifty and my skin looks amazing after 3 uses. I left the wash on for 3 minutes so the next day I had a fair amount of flaking but we’ll worth it.There is a video on utube that I suggest watching,has some great tips.
Claudia Sager
OH MY GOODNES!! I am a young 65 year old gal who prides herself in keeping myself fit inside and out!! This is not just another cleanser.....this product is absolutely my favorite I have used in many years~ I have combination skin and this product cleans and leaves my skin with a complete and balanced freshness!! My skin is thanking me everyday and the overall appearance has changed to that of a much younger gal~ I wish I could spoil myself right now with some of the other Montarbo skincare line......planning on it soon!
Joy
I love the Illuminating Lift Exfoliating Cleanser because it really helps to remove the acne blemishes that I have. I notice my skin tone is becoming more even as I use the product regularly. My skin texture is maintaining its firmness.
Laura
Love this exfoliating cleanser! The best from the most knowledgeable that I watch on YouTube. Love Cody and all the products that I have purchased from him!
Katie
Love it. After using several cleansers, I found Cody and his product line. Not only is the product amazing, but he's an amazing person whom truly cares about putting the best products out there - something rare when it comes to skincare! I was skeptical at first, and even for the first week or so, but after a few weeks of using this with the rest of the products I bought, my face has cleared incredibly.
Joy
Cleanses my face very well. I love how it helps exfoliate dead skin cells on my face. A little goes a long way. I love how you can layer it with other Montarbo skin product's and get a great peel.
Erica Hartwig
This is the absolute best cleanser I have found for my skin type. I have mature skin (53) that is very dry and dull. I have recently started using Retin A again and have added this cleanser along with Cody’s vitamin C serum to my skin care routine and my skin has never looked better. It is the perfect am exfoliator but it does take a while to see really good results so patience is key. My skin is definitely brighter and less crepey feeling. I am looking forward to trying more of your products Cody as they are top notch. Kudos on your success and keep the videos coming .... love them so much. Thanks for all your helpful tips and tricks. Erica Hartwig
Angela
This is a must have for any skin type! I love it because it starts your whole routine out with exfoliated clean skin. But is really gentle at same time... ????
Simone Gingras
I have been using this product for a little over a month and so far I am enjoying the results! I like the consistency of the formula, as it isn’t too sudsy and the odor is neutral. Also, when the foam dissipates, the cleanser is still doing the job of exfoliating my dead skin. A pump or two of this exfoliating cleanser goes a long way!
Kim Parrish
This cleanser is the best I have ever used. I use an off brand to get rid off the makeup and then I put this on and rub it into my skin. I leave it on for about 15 minutes and can really tell it is working on my pores and leaving my skin clearer and so refreshed. I have stepped up and have been leaving it on the last 2 times I’ve used it. It definitely tingles but it’s a good feeling. Has not been a drying effect for my skin. Love it.
Jennifer
I figured Codys products would be as amazing as he seems, but I'm surprised at how quickly I noticed a difference. Could be a combination of a peel I did a few days before received this product, but something is different about my skin in a very good, glowing way! I’m excited to explore the other products!!
Danielle Barth
I started using this because I stopped seeing results from retin-a. Within just a couple of days of using this, I noticed the retin-a glow starting to come back and the discoloration from some old breakouts has started to disappear. I'd imagine this would also work quite well on its own, even without retin-a. I'm hooked!
Christopher
This stuff is fantastic! Been using it for years and everyone comments that they can't believe how great my skin looks. Thanks to Montarbo Skincare line!
Lisa
I use this cleanser once a day. I love how it feels, sometimes I rinse but most of the time I leave it on my skin to work it’s magic. What a unique product! Love and will repurchase.
Unknown
After watching Codys YouTube videos, I couldn't wait to try this cleanser. My dermatologist suggested AHA cleanser that I've been using for years without much of a result. One use of the Illuminating Life and I'm hooked! My skin looked and felt amazing on Day 1 and it’s gotten better each day. I also use prescription Retin-A, so this cleanser is perfect to slough off any peeling. I’m a believer and can’t wait to try a few other products from this line.
