Why it works

What this formula actually does

Built around centella asiatica (cica) complex and screened ingredient by ingredient — here is what earns its place.

01

Low-pH, non-stripping wash

A weakly-acidic gel that cleanses without the post-wash tightness of high-pH foaming soaps.

02

Full Cica and ceramide support

Madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic acid and centella plus Ceramide NP soothe and support the barrier as you cleanse.

03

Gentle surfactant system

Amino-acid, glucoside and betaine cleansers lead, with only a light BHA to help keep pores clear.

Our take

Many gel cleansers still lean on sulfates or a soap base that leaves skin tight. This one takes the barrier-friendly route, pairing a gentle amino-acid surfactant system with a full cica complex, ceramide and ferments at a low pH. Best as a morning cleanse or a second cleanse after an oil or cleansing water; fragrance-sensitive skin should patch test. On gentleness and barrier support it clearly outdoes stripping foams, which is why it is our pick among gel cleansers.

Worth knowing

  • Not for heavy or waterproof makeupIt is a low-foam gentle gel, so it works best as a morning or second cleanse and won't remove long-wear or waterproof makeup alone.
  • Added fragrance and light BHAIt contains Fragrance and a little salicylic acid, so fragrance-sensitive or very reactive skin should patch test first.
