# Deep-Cleansing Skincare Powders Tropic Skincare's Clear Slate Supports Oily Skin & Enlarged Pores By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-10-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleansing-skincare-powder References: [cosmeticsbusiness](https://www.cosmeticsbusiness.com/news/article_page/Clear_the_slate_Tropic_welcomes_second_waterfree_cleansing_powder/170889) & [tropicskincare](https://tropicskincare.com/products/clear-slate-deep-cleansing-powder) After creating Clear Skies, Tropic [Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seadrop-skincare) made an adapted version of the cleansing skincare powder called Clear Slate that's ideal for those with oily skin or enlarged pores. The [water-activated powder cleanser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hand-body-powder-wash) is useful for clearing away excess sebum and impurities with encapsulated plant enzymes. Like Clear Skies, Clear Slate uses lipase and protease to break down both fat-based impurities and protein-based impurities, which makes it an all-around solution for clearing away excess oil and dead skin cells. The water-free skincare product is exfoliating, blemish-fighting and pore-refining thanks to its simple yet powerful ingredients. The product boasts a gray tint thanks to the inclusion of [detoxifying bamboo charcoal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/detox-face-cleanser) and sulphur-rich volcanic ash, which appear in the product alongside other plant enzymes that react with water.
