What it is

Low-irritation, slightly acidic foaming cleanser formulated with minimal ingredients to cleanse while maintaining skin comfort.

Who it's for

  • Sensitive, redness-prone, or reactive skin needing a mild daily cleanser.
  • Oily or combination skin that prefers a foam but wants a non-stripping formula.
  • Those using actives (acids, retinoids) who need a gentle cleanse before treatments.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Mild surfactants — cleanse while aiming to minimize stripping.
  • Glycerin — humectant to attract water and reduce dryness feel.
  • Panthenol — soothes and supports barrier comfort.
  • Madecassoside — centella-derived ingredient for calming feel.

Free-from / texture

  • Fragrance-free and essential-oil-free base.
  • Cream-to-foam texture; slightly acidic pH targeting skin comfort.
  • Minimal-ingredient approach suited for sensitive routines.

How to use & order

  • Use morning and/or night. Apply to wet skin, lather gently, and rinse with lukewarm water.
  • Follow with toner and moisturizer; avoid very hot water to reduce dryness.
  • Double cleanse after sunscreen/makeup by using an oil cleanser first if needed.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most routines; keep frequency gentle when using strong actives to avoid over-cleansing.
  • Pat dry and apply hydrating toner within a minute to reduce moisture loss.
  • Patch test if you have very reactive or compromised skin.

Evidence & notes

  • Panthenol, glycerin, and madecassoside are cosmetic soothing and moisturizing ingredients; cleansing benefits are cosmetic in nature.
  • Maintaining a mildly acidic pH can support barrier resilience versus higher-pH cleansers.
  • Foam feel can vary with water hardness; adjust amount and water temperature for best lather.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if it occurs.
  • Patch test along the jawline if skin is highly reactive or post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
