Cleansers

Effective cleansing for every skin type — without stripping your barrier.

Cleansers that respect your skin barrier

A great routine starts with a cleanser that removes the day without stripping what protects you. Shop by skin type across every brand we carry: enzyme-powered Revision Papaya Enzyme Cleanser, SkinMedica's AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser for texture, SkinCeuticals Gentle and Replenishing cleansers for dry skin, and Obagi CLENZIderm's foam for oily, breakout-prone complexions.

How do I know my cleanser is too harsh?

The squeaky-tight feeling isn't clean — it's a stripped barrier. If skin feels tight for more than a minute after rinsing, step down to a cream or lotion cleanser and save exfoliating washes for a few times a week.

“I initially used this product after my first microneedling procedure and I loved how my skin reacted to it - I have quite sensitive skin and this didn’t irritate it at all! I’ve started using this...”
