pineapple refresh

Rhode Pineapple Refresh is the cleanser the rhode routine starts with. It arrives as a balm and turns to a lather in wet hands, built around polyglutamic acid, green tea extract and pineapple enzyme. Rhode says skin is left clean, soft and bouncy once you've rinsed, and that it's gentle enough for twice a day.

What it actually does

• Changes texture as you use it. A balm in the jar, a foam on wet skin — the lather builds as you work it in.
• Three ingredients doing the work. Polyglutamic acid (PGA), green tea extract and pineapple enzyme are the formula Rhode names.
• Doesn't leave skin stripped. The brand's claim is clean, soft and bouncy skin after rinsing rather than that tight squeaky feeling.
• Morning and night. Rhode positions it as gentle enough for both, and states it is safe for sensitive skin.
• Step one of the routine. It's explicitly framed as the first step before the rest of the rhode line-up.
• 150ml / 5 fl oz, and Rhode notes a little goes a long way.

How to use

1. Wet your hands first. Take a dime-sized amount — or less — into wet palms.
2. Lather on the skin. Work it gently over the face as the foam develops.
3. Rinse with warm water. Wash it off thoroughly.
4. If you're wearing waterproof makeup or a full face, use an oil-based cleanser first and let this be your second cleanse.

Questions

Is there actual pineapple in it?

Yes. Rhode flags that the formula contains real pineapple fruit extract, and explicitly does not recommend it to anyone with a pineapple allergy. If that's you, skip this one.

Will it take off makeup?

For everyday makeup, yes. For waterproof products or a full glam face, Rhode's own instruction is to start with an oil-based cleanser and then follow up with this one.

How much should I use?

A dime-sized amount or less, into wet hands. The 150ml tube lasts because the formula is concentrated — overloading it just means more rinsing.

Can I use it twice a day?

That's how it's designed. Rhode describes it as gentle enough for morning and evening use and safe for sensitive skin.
