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

I didn’t expect to like

"I didn’t expect to like this product so much, especially since I already feel committed to the foaming oil cleanser. This stuff is brilliantly light and delicate, and has become my favourite in-shower cleanser in the morning, it tidies up any leftover heavy oily skincare from my night routine, and leaves me feeling clean and bright but not squeaky or dry. I can’t believe it but I would actually buy this again."

— Ella M. (5/5)

I have really enjoyed this

"I have really enjoyed this cleanser! My skin feels really fresh afterwards. My only criticism would be the consistency. It's very watery, so you just have to be careful as a lot more can come out than you intend. You only need a little but to get a good sud going!"

— Katherine W. (4/5)

I love it! It feels

"I love it! It feels gentle and refreshing on the skin without leaving it feeling dry or tight. My skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable after every use. It’s become a great addition to my daily skincare routine!"

— Lavern V. (5/5)

Holds up

"I have been using this for five months and it remains my tried-and-true. Super gentle, super effective. I am always happy to use it."

— Slee (5/5)

Wow this left my skin

"Wow this left my skin feeling clean after a hard day of construction work."

— Jackson T. (5/5)

Excellent cleanser, please fix packaging

"Love love the cleanser, non drying or stripping. The packaging however has very sharp corner edges and it is so easy to cut yourself as when the tube is wet it is slippery. Will give it props for being completely empty once finished and cut open - but would like to see a softer container with rounded edges. The cleanser itself is excellent."

— Monica (4/5)

I specifically use Gentle Gel

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! 💙
