the opening

one evening a week, pause takes the place of everything after the cleanse. aloe leaf juice is first on its list, then kaolin and montmorillonite, two clays, with charcoal powder and black tea, cucumber and sage further down. no perfume is on the list.

on clean skin, then rinsed away. pause or refine, never both.

what it replaces

what leaves the shelf.

the sheet masks. one clay mask, once a week.

the formulation

about pause.

once a week, in the evening.

pause is a clay mask: aloe leaf juice is first on its list, then kaolin and montmorillonite, two clays, with charcoal powder and black tea, cucumber and sage further down. no perfume is on the list.

a layer on clean skin, then rinsed away with water.

pause or refine, never both.

evening

where it sits in the practice.

once a week, in the evening, on clean skin and on its own: a layer, then rinsed away with water. in place of refine, never beside it.

the ingredients

what's inside.

open any ingredient to read its part.

who this is not for

not for everyone.

if your skin feels rough or dull rather than oily, refine is the weekly step — a practice keeps one, never both.

if you’d rather your weekly step stayed on overnight, refine is that one. pause is rinsed away.

if your skin reddens easily, pause isn’t for you — begin keeps it out of a practice for reactive skin.

and if your skin is in medical territory — eczema, psoriasis, a diagnosed condition — a pharmacist or gp will serve you better than we can. we'd rather you were served well.

nothing comes back

if it isn’t right, it’s refunded.

within 30 days of arrival: a full refund, to the card that paid — and what you bought stays with you. keep it, or pass it on. nothing comes back. the refund policy →
