Why this cleanser works for sensitive skin
The Ultra-Gentle Cleanser is formulated to maintain the skin's natural barrier while cleansing. This is crucial for sensitive skin, which is often prone to irritation from harsh surfactants. The product includes ingredients that support the skin's microbiome, helping to keep the skin balanced and less reactive over time.
What it does not do
This cleanser does not contain common irritants like sulfates, fragrances, or alcohol, which are frequent triggers for sensitive skin. However, individual reactions can still occur due to personal allergies. Always patch test a new product, even if it is labeled for sensitive skin.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Ultra-Gentle Cleanser remove makeup?
Yes, it gently removes makeup and impurities while preserving the skin's barrier. It is effective for light to moderate makeup but may not fully remove heavy or waterproof makeup. For stubborn eye makeup, a dedicated gentle eye makeup remover might be needed. Use a separate eye makeup remover if you wear heavy or waterproof eye makeup.
Will this cleanser worsen my redness?
No, it is designed to ease redness and soothe the skin. The formula is non-irritating and helps calm reactive skin. However, if you have a specific allergy to any ingredient, redness may still occur. Always check the ingredient list. Check the full ingredient list for known personal allergens before use.
How often should I use it?
It is safe for daily use, both morning and evening. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin that cannot tolerate frequent cleansing with harsher products. Use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing. Use twice daily for best results, but adjust if your skin feels dry.
