What HEXAM does
Vivier lists three benefits: it gently removes dirt, excess oil and makeup, helps purify pores without stripping the skin, and leaves skin feeling soft, clean and refreshed. The brand describes hexamidine as an antimicrobial and antibacterial agent and credits the formula’s emollient properties with leaving skin soft and supple.
Key ingredients
Vivier names hexamidine as the active point of difference. It is the same ingredient the brand uses in LEXXEL and Redness Solution Complex.
