A clean, comfortable face, morning and night.

Your skin feels tight or sensitive after washing, especially when it is reactive or recovering. You want makeup and the day gone without that stripped feeling.

Cleansing Gel lifts away makeup, oil and the day in a soft lather and leaves skin feeling calm and comfortable. It is made with mild, sulfate free and soap free cleansers plus aloe, chamomile and cucumber, and SkinBetter designed it for sensitive and compromised skin, even testing it on skin right after a professional peel.

Who It Is For

Every skin type, including sensitive skin and skin post procedure.

Not Acne Safe

What You Will See, and When

Skin feels clean and comfortable from the first wash. SkinBetter evaluated its tolerability on fifteen people after a professional peel.

How to Use

Use morning and night as the first step of your routine. Massage a generous amount onto damp skin with your fingertips for a full minute, over your face, neck and ears, then rinse with warm water. Pat dry and go straight on to the rest of your routine.

The Science

The cleansing agents here are taurate, isethionate and betaine types, a mild family of surfactants chosen to lift oil and makeup while being gentle on the skin's own lipids. The formula contains no soap and no sulfates.

Aloe, chamomile and cucumber make up the soothing blend. SkinBetter evaluated the gel for tolerability in fifteen people directly after a professional chemical peel, when skin is at its most delicate.

Questions

Can I use it twice a day?Yes. It is made for daily morning and evening use.
Does it remove makeup?Yes. Massage a little longer where you wear more makeup, then rinse.
How is it different from Refining Foam Cleanser?Cleansing Gel is a pure, gentle cleanse for every skin type, including sensitive skin. Refining Foam Cleanser adds exfoliating acids for normal to oily skin that wants refining as it cleans.
What does it feel like?A gel that lathers into a soft foam and rinses clean. Fragrance free and soap free.

Why a Routine Made for You Works Better

General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.

Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.

Where that point sits depends on:

  • Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
  • Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
  • Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
  • Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
  • Your goals: what you most want to change
  • Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
  • Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
  • Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned

A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
