"I pair this cleanser with a benzoyl peroxide face wash (“yay” for adult acne!). Along with Dermalogica’s Stabilizing Repair Cream, it does an amazing job of balancing and calming my skin, combatting the irritation and flakiness I’ve experienced with topical acne medications in the past. It also seems to bolster my skin’s ability to tolerate retinol. Good stuff!"
"This is my favorite cleanser for my sensitive, sometimes red skin. It’s so gentle that my mom used it while doing a cancer cream on her face for pre-cancerous spots and also fell in love with it. It’s all she will use now."
"This is a staple for me. It is very gentle- never leaves my skin red or irritated. Yet my face always feels completely clean after using it."
"This cleanser has a rich cream texture that feels good on my face. It doesn’t dry my skin out and no irritation. If you have mature sensitive and delicate skin you might want to try it."
"This cleanser definitely calms and cools and that’s exactly why I purchased it after trying a drug store brand for a year. It’s also great for gently removing lightly applied eye makeup"
"Great for my skin! I have been having problems with partial breakouts around my nose and irritation and this product is amazing and gentle"
"I love this cleanser. It’s hydrating and calming. I use it in my skin care routine day and night. I feel like it balances out my redness and calms my skin just as it says it will."
"Always one of my favorite non-foaming cleansers! Does the job well - with no over stripping or irritation. So many foaming cleaners are way too harsh. Great cleanser!🥳"
"I use this daily. It has really helped with my routine to maintain great clear skin. Recommended by my esthetician."
"This cleanser is amazing. It's really gentle, but cleans my skin well."
