Size: 5 fl oz / 150 ml
Scent: Unscented
Good for: All skin types, especially sensitive and acne-prone skin
Made in the US

Most cleansers force a choice: strip your skin clean or leave it feeling filmy.

PrettyBoy Fresh Start refuses that tradeoff. This cream-gel cleanser uses ultra-gentle surfactants and a four-weight hyaluronic acid system to remove dirt, oil, and buildup without disrupting your barrier. Niacinamide controls oil and prevents breakouts. Gluconolactone (a PHA) gently exfoliates to unclog pores without irritation. Amino acids lock in moisture while you cleanse.

The result: skin that feels clean, calm, and hydrated—not tight. Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and safe for acne-prone skin. Built for the PrettyBoy 2-step system.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Removes sweat, oil, and daily buildup without stripping your skin—leaving it clean, balanced, and ready for Revival Moisturizer to do its work.

BUILT FOR

Daily cleansing that won't trigger breakouts, irritation, or that tight post-wash feeling that makes you skip moisturizer.

The Henkey's Standard

Built with solid ingredients:
Fresh Start uses ultra-gentle surfactants (sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate and sodium cocoyl glycinate) that cleanse without stripping lipids—these are mild enough for baby products. The four-weight hyaluronic acid system (sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, and sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer) delivers hydration at multiple skin depths while you cleanse. Niacinamide supports barrier function and controls oil. Gluconolactone (a polyhydroxy acid) provides gentle chemical exfoliation without the redness or sensitivity of AHAs. Allantoin and amino acids (sodium PCA) calm and protect throughout the washing process.

Proven to perform:
The surfactant system creates a creamy lather that lifts dirt and oil without damaging the skin barrier—this is why it doesn't leave that squeaky-clean tightness that signals over-cleansing. Gluconolactone works like glycolic acid but with a larger molecular size, meaning gentler exfoliation that doesn't penetrate as deeply or cause irritation. The multi-weight HA system ensures you're not just removing moisture when you cleanse—you're actively adding it back. Niacinamide regulates sebum production over time, which is why consistent use reduces oiliness without triggering rebound oil. This formula balances cleansing efficacy with barrier protection.

Made to help men look sharp and feel confident:
Clean skin is the foundation, but harsh cleansing undermines everything else in your routine. Fresh Start sets you up for success—it preps your skin to absorb Revival Moisturizer properly, prevents the barrier damage that leads to breakouts, and keeps your face feeling comfortable all day. That's the difference between a routine you'll stick with and products that sit unused in your bathroom.

Who This is For

This system is for you if:

  • Your skin feels tight, dry, or irritated after washing your face
  • You have acne-prone or sensitive skin that reacts to most cleansers
  • You're using Revival Moisturizer and need a cleanser that won't undo its work
  • You deal with eczema, rosacea, or chronic redness
  • You want a fragrance-free formula that won't trigger reactions
  • You need something gentle enough for twice-daily use
  • You can use it as a 5-minute hydrating mask on dry skin for extra moisture

Skip if: You prefer foaming cleansers with a "squeaky clean" feel—this is intentionally gentle and won't strip your skin.

Benefits
  • Removes dirt, oil, sweat, and daily buildup without stripping skin
  • Maintains skin barrier integrity during cleansing
  • Provides gentle exfoliation without irritation or redness
  • Hydrates skin while cleansing through multi-weight HA system
  • Calms inflammation and reduces redness
  • Controls oil production over time with consistent use
  • Prepares skin for optimal product absorption
How to Use

Apply 1-2 pumps to dry or damp skin and massage gently to emulsify. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use morning and night for best results.

Pro tip: Apply to dry skin and leave on for 5 minutes as a hydrating mask before rinsing. This works especially well before shaving or when skin feels extra dry.

PrettyBoy 2-Step System: Fresh Start → Revival Moisturizer. That's it. 60 seconds or less, twice a day. Consistency beats complexity.

Ingredients

INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT:

Gluconolactone (PHA): Think of this as glycolic acid's gentler cousin. Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid that exfoliates dead skin cells and boosts hydration, but its larger molecular size means it doesn't penetrate as deeply as AHAs—so you get the smoothing and brightening benefits without the redness, peeling, or sensitivity. It's particularly effective for reactive skin that can't tolerate traditional chemical exfoliants. This is why Fresh Start delivers that "fresh" feeling without the post-cleanse tightness.
