Created by an experienced cosmetologist who has battled long-term with chronic acne, eczema, psoriasis, and personally understands struggles with skin issues.

Let customers speak for us
from 27 reviewsA little goes a long way, and this Cleaning Potion is my favorite face wash. I never feel tight or too dry after washing. This, coupled with the Day Potion and Night Potion, makes for an easy, uncomplicated skin care routine. My face is breaking out less and feels fresh. Sadly, my husband knocked the bottle over and spilled it - I have to order more! It calms my skin and makes it feel smooth and clean.

I've been using Lex + Jong Day Potion in the morning, and Night Potion before I go to bed, for about a month now. My skin is getting softer and clearer each week! My face never feels tight or itchy. I love that the Day Potion includes sun screen. The product is a light oil, and never feels greasy or oily. It just feels like I'm giving my skin a treat each day! I trust Brendan's products and know that I am always getting the best of the best. It lasts a long time and is worth the price. The small batch way he makes his products always insure that his products are fresh and effective. I'm a fan!

I have a really stressful job working unconventional long hours, and this Night Potion makes me look like I’ve just come back from a long relaxing vacation every day. Every night I mist on a hydrating toner, then gently press in a dropper full of Night Potion into my face and décolletage, I put on some eye cream and then go to bed. Even with not enough restful sleep, my skin still looks gorgeous when I wake up. I have been using Night Potion for 2 months. This stuff couldn’t be simpler, and it really works. My skin is sensitive, with occasional acne and signs of aging and prone to hyperpigmentation (age: mid-40s). This does not irritate my sensitive skin, and I think the Night Potion has helped my skin become more resilient to stressors and irritants while also making it more even and smooth.

I have been using Day Potion for 2 months, and I love this product. Every day I mist on a hydrating toner, press a dropper of Day Potion onto my face and décolletage, then close with moisturizer and SPF. It is so simple and effective. My skin is sensitive, with occasional acne and signs of aging and prone to hyperpigmentation (age: mid-40s). The Day Potion makes my skin glow but not oily, skin texture is so even and supple and bouncy. I wish the day will come when I can go out without a mask so people can see how great my skin looks. Lex & Jong is a wonderful and ethical company, I’m looking forward to trying more products from Lex & Jong.

This is not an ad. This is an honest review from a real person, who really uses these products.
1. I am 54 years old.
2. The pictures were taken without a filter, in natural light. ... I wish I could figure out how to attach a picture ... then you could see the truth!
3. I am not wearing any makeup.
I have been using lex + jong products since their creation a few years ago, and before that a variety of different high-end skincare lines carefully curated by Brendan Vartan for my needs ... oil+dry+acne-rosacea prone skin.
The lex + jong line is simply the best.
I use the Clean Potion to wash my face in the morning and evening, and the sensation of massaging the silky oil into my skin is meditative and soothing for skin and mind. I follow up with the Day or Night Potion, and finish my skincare routine with Optimal Response Firming Repair Moisturizer. My skin looks and feels like I've had a facial ... every single day.
Brendan is a true master of his craft, and his skill and devotion to excellence shine through every pore of my skin.
I would give each of these products 5 stars, however, that would imply that lex+jong is on a comparable level with other products and that is simply not true. Lex+Jong is in a class by itself, and the new gold standard in skincare.

This winter has been especially hard on my 71 year old face. Dry indoor air and cold, windy outdoor conditions have exacerbated already existing rosacea and sensitivities, creating a perfect storm of red, itchy, blotchy, rough, almost painfully uncomfortable skin. I tried numerous moisturizing products and cleansers that were supposed to help, but they only made matters worse. Sunscreen, and even the lightest application of make-up, resulted in more problems. I was really at my wits end. Then, three weeks ago (not quite out of the blue), I received an e-mail from Brendan. The e-mail included the review of Lex + Jong Clean Potion below. After considering this review and others on the site, and a week of indecision and study of the ingredients in the formula, I ordered the cleanser. At $68, Clean Potion was on the pricey side for me (for a cleanser), but the 100 ml bottle looked like it could be a good value, considering the ingredients and expertise that went into creating it. After just a week of using one dropper of Clean Potion twice a day, my skin is almost completely clear. The rosacea is calmed, the sore, rough patches are gone and my face has a clarity and glow I have not seen in many years. Even the wrinkles are diminishing! Of course this is my anecdotal experience and personal opinion, and in no way scientific - but after so many expensive bottles and jars of skin care disappointments, Clean Potion is a true miracle (and a bargain) that really works to calm my sensitive skin. Brendan you are a wizard!

Please see my initial review below 9/9/20. Beauty junkies out there know that often, repurchase is rare (due to that compulsion to try every darn thing out there!) and a testament to just how great a product is. I am on the site now to repurchase the Cleansing Potion. I will likely be using this product forever... it is that wonderful!
I have had pretty awful rosacea for about a decade now. Additionally, I work 12-16 hour overnight shifts in an enclosed space with dry, not-so-fresh air and juuuust about every bacterium known to science... not the most optimal environment for already-aggravated skin! From the onset of using Clean Potion, the facial redness, dryness and painful pustules have decreased significantly. It soothes immediately upon application. After using CP, my skin feels thoroughly cleansed, but never stripped. It is very soft and glowing, creating the perfect canvas for moisturizer and serum (both of which I have to use less of due to the retained moisture after cleansing with CP.) Bonus- it smells delicious. Another reviewer said it smells like cookies and they were spot on!
I would like to comment too on just how economical this cleanser is as well. I bought this back in September, use it almost daily-often twice (I have a few cleansers I’m trying to finish up and not waste- though CP is superior to them) and use probably more than I should because it looks, smells and feels so exquisite. I still have a little bit left and am repurchasing now before I run out. A $68 price point definitely can, at first glance, come across as high, especially when many of us are struggling right now. I grew up without a lot of means so I still have that mentality of requiring a good bargain and the most “bang for my buck.” This bottle has lasted me almost 5.5 months, even with excessive use. For the top-level quality of the ingredients, believe me... this cleanser is a bargain. As I said before, YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!
Plus, the two times I have interacted with Brendan (once in person and the other with my online purchase of this product) he has been one of the most gracious, helpful, and genuinely kind business owners I have ever encountered- it’s very rare these days unfortunately. Kindness means so much and will keep me as a loyal customer.
This is like the third review I’ve ever written in my life for anything but I had to get this all out there. I’m not a beauty blogger or expert- just a huge huge fan! Hope everyone out there realizes how strong and beautiful they are and that you are absolutely worth self-care and self-kindness! TREAT YOSELF!🥰

Clean Potion feels luxurious as you apply it to dry skin. It foams up beautifully when you wet your face. It leaves my skin feeling clean, invigorated, and balanced. I love this product.

I have always had sensitive skin and as I have gotten older my rosacea was getting worse and my skin more sensitive. Then, Brendan suggested I try Clean Potion. I noticed a difference immediately. And after using this product for 2-months, my skin has never looked better. I like the way it feels when I am done washing my face and I like how clean my skin looks. This cleanser is terrific!

Love it, such excellent quality. Finally, I've found what I was looking for..thanks Brendan!

Luxurious, that's how this cleanser feels on my skin! I love how it cleans without stripping my skin. When I had questions about how much to use, Brendan reached out immediately to answer and advise me. I am confident in the quality and science behind this product because Brendan had devoted his life to improving skincare products. Thank you for providing high quality skincare!

This is my new favorite cleanser... I have rosacea and washing with this soothes it instantly. My skin LOVES this potion- it feels soft, looks plump, and GLOWS after each use... and never feels dried out or stripped. I am a nurse and this is helping so much with the maskne I've been getting during COVID. And the handwritten thank-you card from Brendan meant so much. Ladies and gentlemen you are worth this- buy it ASAP!

Been using this potion for about a month now. My face is super soft, doesn’t feel tight or dry, and I’m not experiencing any redness - huge relief for my sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Cleansing and nourishing at the same time.
I really put it through the wringer when I wore a full face of makeup this week (lots of eyeshadow, liner, and mascara). All melted away after one wash - no extra eye makeup remover or towel wiping needed!
Bonus: smells like a nutty vegan cookie and I am HERE FOR IT.
Lex & Jong always gets it right.

I have to admit I was skeptical but I love love love this product. I have rosacea and it has diminished significantly over just a few weeks, actually from the first time I used it . The fine lines around my eyes, forehead and lips have diminished quite a bit as well. Frankly I had given up on that ever happening 😊 I am still experimenting with how much to use and have concluded that it is dependent on multiple factors, such as how much I am outside and how warm the day is and if I have worn sunscreen or makeup. Love waking up with soft, clean skin.

I have been having issues with dry damaged skin for almost a year. I've tried several products, including several from House of Vartan that have worked to a degree. Now, I have found THE cleanser that works for me. It's step 2 in my daily regimen. First, I use HD Smoothing Scrub followed by Clean Potion. The last step is to apply Optimal Response Firming Repair Moisturizer. As a 50 year old who still gets compliments on my skin, I swear by these products!
