FAQ

  • Can I use this to remove eye makeup and SPF?

    This gel-to-foam cleanser gently removes everyday makeup, SPF, and excess oil without stripping your skin. It’s safe to use around the eyes and leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.

  • Is this fungal acne safe?

    Fungal acne (or Malassezia folliculitis) can be triggered by fatty acid-rich oils, and Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser uses our Triple Lipid Complex of fatty acids, ceramides, and sterols to protect the moisture barrier through deep cleansing. If you’re breakout-prone or concerned about that, you might prefer our 2% BHA Cleanser, which is fungal acne safe and proven to help clear breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.

  • Is this safe for sensitive skin?

    Yes, our Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser was clinically tested and shown to be safe for sensitive skin. The formula is fragrance-free, non-stripping, and developed with barrier health in mind to cleanse thoroughly—yet gently.

  • Is this safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

    Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser has been reviewed and tested for safety on a panel of people who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding. It does not include any ingredients known to be unsafe while pregnant or breastfeeding, but as with any new product, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider if you're concerned.

Reviews

Turning 45 at the end

"Turning 45 at the end of the month. I have sensitive, reactive and acne prone skin. The natural aging process is taking over so now my skin is getting dryer in certain spots. Can’t live without this cleanser. Washes my face clean without drying my skin. Doesn’t break me out. This cleanser does exactly what it claims to do - washes off the day which includes sunscreen and full coverage foundation."

— Renee L. (5/5)

My favorite cleanser that is

"My favorite cleanser that is gentle enough to soothe my damaged skin yet strong enough to take off sunscreen! Makes my skin feel squeaky clean without drying out. The only thing I don’t really like is the dispenser. It gets messy when I try to close it after squeezing out the product. It’s also hard to control how much product comes out (usually too much and I feel like it’s a waste)."

— Katrina C. (5/5)

This cleanser is incredibly gentle

"This cleanser is incredibly gentle and perfect for sensitive skin. It creates a soft lather, removes dirt and excess oil effectively, and leaves my skin feeling clean without any tightness or dryness."

— Anastasiya S. (5/5)

This is such a great

"This is such a great face wash! While it is a little runny, so easy to squeeze out too much, it doesn't dry out my skin or make it feel uncomfortably tight post wash."

— Sarah H. (5/5)

I really like this product.

"I really like this product. It leaves the skin on my face feeling clean but never dry, and the scent is mild (not 'perfumy' at all). And it doesn't irritate my skin (I have rosacea). The price for the volume is a good value. My only complaint is with the design for closure of the bottle. It's awkward/messy to turn when you have cleanser on your fingers. You can't leave it open while you wash your face because it opens from the bottom and, therefore, leaks (and it leaks even if you only lay it on its side when it's still quite full). That could be improved. But the product itself is nice."

— Jennifer B. (4/5)

"LOVE this cleanser!! It is indeed gentle, but cleanses deeply. I am prone to dry skin, but I never feel it to be harsh or “stripping. ” It is actually hydrating and perfect for my skin. My face feels so soft after using it. Also…one bottle lasts a very long time, over 8 months for me. And I use it daily!"

— Remy (5/5)

Easy recommendation

"Gentil on my sensitive skin and leaves it clean without feeling stripped."

— Erica (5/5)

Gel cleanser

"Good gel cleanser. Gentle as far as gels go, but not as gentle as a cream or milk cleanser. Effective and not too drying."

— Adi (4/5)

LOVE this cleanser!!! Currently on

"LOVE this cleanser!!! Currently on my 4th bottle? Cleans effectively without drying my skin."

— Alice K. (5/5)

Great cleanser, skin feels refreshed

"Great cleanser, skin feels refreshed but not stripped. Only issue is how quickly the cleanser comes out of the container."

— Susan T. (5/5)

Q&A

What's the difference between this and the Foaming Oil Cleanser?
Hi C N The main differences come down to texture, ingredients, and makeup removal. The Foaming Oil Cleanser has a thicker gel texture and feels extra comforting—making it a great choice for dry or sensitive skin. The Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser is lighter, foamier, and more refreshing. It’s safe for all skin types and includes a little of our Triple Lipid Complex to help support your skin barrier while removing tough makeup and SPF. Both are gentle and hydrating. If your skin needs extra comfort, the Foaming Oil Cleanser is a soothing option. For a fresh, everyday cleanse that handles makeup and SPF with ease, go with the Gentle Gel Cleanser. We hope this helps!
Can this be used to remove eye makeup?
Hi Kelly, Thank you for reaching out. Yes, this can be used to remove eye make up! Use twice daily: in the morning to gently refresh skin and reinfoce skin's barrier, and in the evening massage into wet skin for 60 seconds (dermatologist tip!) to dissolve makeup, impurities, and SPF. Rinse well with lukewarm water and pat dry, follow with serum, moisturizer, and SPF in the morning. We hope this helps! 💙
