An Enzyme Exfoliator For All Skin Types
Mekha Exfoliating Cleanser presents two variations.
The Mekha 2.0 ( this product page) does not contain any manual exfoliating beads, but instead possesses a higher concentration of enzymes. It is specifically designed for those who are experiencing active breakouts or have sensitivity towards physical exfoliation.
The Original Mekha (click here) incorporates manual exfoliating beads made from bamboo stems and jojoba beads, delivering optimal skin smoothing benefits. This version is ideal for individuals with normal to dry and lackluster skin.
Mekha Exfoliating Cleanser serves as a second cleanse, exfoliator, and mask. The formula effectively eliminates flakiness on the surface and exfoliates the inner lining of your pores with queen bee’s royal jelly, fruit enzymes, and natural salicylic acid to reveal your clear and radiant complexion.

Experience: A unique blend of mango butter, plant oils, and propolis-infused raw honey creates a rich, honey-like texture that deeply moisturizes. Its smooth consistency glides effortlessly, providing gentle exfoliation. Infused with antiseptic and antibacterial plant properties, the cleanser transforms into a milky texture upon contact with water, activating the fruit enzymes to gently tingle and slough off dull, dead skin cells.
Character: A reminiscent of an invigorating culinary aroma from a Southeast Asian kitchen, embodying scents of lemongrass and rosemary.
Texture: Evoking the essence of honey, it imparts a gentle and plush sensation. Its superb spreadability allows it to glide across the skin with the ease of smooth silk.
Results : Reveal a smoother, softer, and radiant complexion instantly with Mekha, leaving it perfectly primed to absorb the actives in your next step.
Ritual and Tips
Ritual and Tips
Ritual:
- Mekha is the perfect second cleanse in your routine. While it can remove light makeup, it works best on pre-cleansed skin. Apply a dime-sized amount to damp skin and gently massage in circular motions for a deep yet soothing cleanse
For a normal to dry skin or oily and no sensitivities:
- Apply the cleanser to wet, freshly cleansed skin, massaging in circular motions to awaken its exfoliating magic. For a deeper exfoliation, let it sit as a mask for 15-30 minutes or enjoy its benefits in a steamy shower.
For a sensitive skin or active breakouts:
- Apply Mekha to dry, freshly cleansed skin without massaging. If comfortable, activate the enzymes by misting The Reservoir and gently massaging. Leave on for 5–10 minutes, then wipe away with a warm, damp towel
* You may experience a tingling sensation as a result of the presence of fruit acids in the product.
Formula Insights
Formula Insights
Ancient Beauty Knowledge
- For centuries, women in Southeast Asia have relied on the synergy powers of herbs like Thanaka, Turmeric, Ginger, and fruit enzymes to combat inflammation and shield their skin from sun damage. Through regular use of Thanaka bark extract, many have observed a noticeable improvement in the tone and texture of their skin.
Modern Beauty Technology
- Through the process of hydrolysis and neutralization, we have the capability to separate the element found in wintergreen extract oil and obtain salicylic acid. This particular form of natural salicylic acid has been extensively researched and is considered a safer substitute for synthetic salicylic acid.

spotlights
Aspen Bark Extract
Natural salicylates act as a microbial preservative, exfoliating deep within the pores to control acne and minimize their appearance, revealing a smoother, clearer complexion.
Pineapple Extract
Pineapple contains bromelain, a natural enzyme that gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and promoting a brighter complexion. This process not only minimizes fine lines but also enhances skin texture and tone. Additionally, bromelain's anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce redness and swelling, contributing to a clearer and more tone appearance.
Papaya Enzymes Extract
Papaya fruit enzymes, particularly papain, exfoliate, decongest, and promote cell renewal. They help fade dark spots, improve skin tone, and have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making them effective in treating acne and achieving a smoother, brighter complexion.
From Our Founder's Journal
"I created Mekha Exfoliating Cleanser as a response to the need I noticed among many of us with more sensitive skin—those who wanted the benefits of exfoliation without the harshness of physical scrubbing. This honey-like texture is a joy to use in your cleansing routine. It’s so easy to apply and feels incredibly soothing. I personally love the gentle tingle it gives when I leave it on during a steam shower, as the warmth allows the enzymes to really get to work.While the formulation remains the same as the original, I’ve increased the enzyme content to replace the exfoliating beads that are often too abrasive for sensitive skin. And, of course, it still smells like my grandmother’s kitchen in Thailand—something that never fails to bring me back to those moments in her warm, fragrant home.I’m excited to share this with you, as it embodies my journey of learning from the past while working with modern skincare wisdom. Here’s to healthy, radiant skin that feels just as it should: supported and cared for, no matter what stage we’re at" - Supadra Geronimo
FAQs
I Feel a Bit of Tingling Without the Exfoliating Beads—Is That Normal?
Yes, a gentle tingling sensation is completely normal—especially with Mekha 2.0. This version is formulated with a higher concentration of AHA and BHA acids to compensate for the absence of physical exfoliating beads.
These natural acids work deeply to dissolve stubborn, built-up layers of keratin on the skin’s surface, encouraging smoother texture and enhanced radiance—without the need for manual scrubbing.
As always, listen to your skin. A mild tingle is a sign the enzymes and acids are activating, but if you ever experience discomfort or irritation, rinse off and reduce frequency.
Can Mekha Be Used as an Everyday Cleanser?
Mekha is an exfoliating treatment, not a daily cleanser—so we don’t recommend using it every day. While it’s crafted to be gentle, using it too often can over-exfoliate your skin, leading to sensitivity, dryness, or imbalance.
For most skin types, 1–3 times per week is the perfect rhythm to maintain smooth, radiant skin without overwhelming its natural barrier.
Your skin knows when enough is enough—treat it with care, and it will reward you with balance and clarity.
What Skin Types Can Use Mekha 2.0?
Mekha 2.0 is suitable for all skin types—from sensitive to oily, dry, or combination skin. Its strength lies in its adaptability and intuitive nature.
Crafted with a rich, honey-like texture, Mekha’s enzymes are lovingly wrapped in fatty acids and natural sugars. This unique formulation allows you to tailor the exfoliation experience based on your skin’s needs:
- For sensitive skin: Apply Mekha on dry skin for a gentler exfoliation. The enzymes stay more subdued, offering a softer touch.
- For dull, oily, or congested skin: Apply on damp or wet skin. The water activates and emulsifies the formula, encouraging deeper exfoliation and renewal.
Mekha meets your skin where it’s at—every time.
Can I Use Mekha After a Facial or Skin Treatment Like Lasers or Peels?
We recommend pausing Mekha after intensive treatments like chemical peels or lasers. These procedures already trigger your skin’s natural exfoliation and renewal process, often leaving it more vulnerable and sensitive. Adding more exfoliation during this time can overwhelm your skin and slow down recovery.
Be gentle with your beautiful skin—this is a time for nourishment, not stimulation.
Instead, we wholeheartedly recommend The Guardian during your healing phase. It’s our go-to for calming post-treatment skin, helping to ease redness, reduce heat, and soothe irritation. Let your skin rest, restore, and be deeply cared for.
Which step is this going in my ritual?
Just like the original Mekha, Mekha 2.0 is an exfoliating treatment and should be used as your second step, after your initial cleanse.
Use it 2–3 times a week, depending on your skin's needs. Begin with a gentle cleanse using Morning Delight, then follow with Mekha 2.0 to deeply exfoliate and renew your skin.
It’s not meant for daily use—but as part of your weekly ritual, it helps your skin shed what no longer serves it, revealing a brighter, smoother, and more balanced complexion.
