Gentle Skin Cleanser

The Gentle Skin Cleanser is a non-stripping daily wash for skin that does not need an active-loaded cleansing step. Many routines benefit from medicated cleansers - Salicylic Acid for acne, Vitamin C for dullness, Kojic Acid for pigmentation - but there are also many days when the right cleanser is simply one that removes dirt, sebum, and product without disrupting the skin barrier. This is that cleanser, built around mild amino acid surfactants and soothing D-Panthenol.

The formula carries supporting actives at low, non-irritating levels - Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, and Niacinamide for subtle brightening and barrier support. It is the recommended cleanser before Retinol 0.5% Face Serum and Hyaluronic Acid 2% Face Serum routines, where a gentle wash preserves barrier integrity. Browse the full face cleanser range for ingredient-specific options.

Barrier-Safe Cleanse: Mild amino acid surfactants remove dirt and sebum without stripping moisture.

Soothing Comfort: D-Panthenol and Aloe Vera calm the skin and prevent post-wash tightness.

Routine-Friendly: Low-level actives add subtle brightening without competing with your leave-on treatments.

This is the gentlest cleanser in the range, suited to all skin types and especially dry, sensitive, normal, and mature skin. It is ideal for daily non-stripping cleansing, for skin that is generally calm without active acne or major pigmentation, and for pre-Retinol or pre-Hyaluronic Acid routines where preserving the barrier matters.

It is a smart choice if you use leave-on actives and want a cleansing step that does not add cumulative irritation, if you have dry or sensitive skin year-round, or if you simply want a calm recovery-day wash. Supporting actives stay at trace levels for subtle brightening without competing with your treatments. It is suitable from 12 years and above, sits at a pH of 5.0 to 6.0, is safe during pregnancy and lactation, and is free from fragrance, paraben, SLS, and alcohol.

There is no need to go slow with this cleanser. Avoid relying on it alone if you have active severe acne - use the Salicylic Acid Face Wash instead - or if your skin is strongly oily and needs more than a gentle cleanser.

Tip: Stronger is not always better. For sensitive skin or routines built around leave-on actives, this gentle cleanser does the cleansing without adding irritation from a treatment-loaded wash.
