Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cleanser good for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is a mild, non-foaming cream cleanser created with sensitive and dry skin in mind. Allantoin and glycerin help soothe and soften, so it cleanses gently without harshness.
Does it remove makeup?
It effectively removes impurities and long-wear face and eye makeup while leaving no residue behind. Its creamy texture makes it comfortable to use around the eye area.
How do I use it, and will it lather?
It is a non-foaming formula, so massage a small amount onto skin and rinse thoroughly, twice daily. Because it does not foam, it can feel more nourishing and less drying than typical gel washes.
Is it a good match after in-office treatments?
Its gentle, soothing nature makes it a comfortable choice for skin that needs extra care, and it primes skin for other treatments. Always follow your provider's specific post-procedure instructions.
How is it different from the Replenishing Cleanser?
Gentle Cleanser is a non-foaming cream best for sensitive and dry skin, while Replenishing Cleanser foams and is aimed at combination skin. Your choice depends on whether you prefer a lather and how reactive your skin is.
This is a good product which I have used for years but I was disappointed because I noticed my container was not completely full. I did shake container down to see how much I really got and it was 3/4 full. I did take photo but no way to submit.

For me, this is the perfect cleanser. It is super gentle on the skin and hydrating - which is crucial for me as I have very dry skin. It also is really good at removing makeup, which typically isn’t the norm for gentler cleansers. Have a feeling I’ll be sticking with this one for a while!
