A soft, non-foaming cream cleanser that removes makeup without leaving skin tight
SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser is a gentle, non-foaming cream cleanser for dry, sensitive or easily irritated skin that removes makeup and impurities from the face and eyes. Its emollient base cleans while softening the skin, and allantoin soothes, so the complexion feels fresh and comfortable rather than stripped. Glycerin helps keep skin hydrated during cleansing. Its non-irritating, emollient formula makes it suitable even for fragile or sensitised skin, and it is gentle enough for daily use morning and evening. It works as the first step of a routine, before serums and moisturiser.
The texture
A soft, milky cream that glides over damp skin without foaming and rinses off easily with lukewarm water. Because it does not foam, skin is left comfortable and supple rather than dry. It has a light citrus scent from orange peel oil.
Who it suits
- Dry, sensitive or reactive skin
- Skin that feels tight after foaming cleansers
- Removing everyday makeup, including around the eyes
- Mature skin that needs a comforting cleanse
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains orange peel oil and limonene, a fragrance allergen, so it is not fragrance-free. It is not designed to remove heavy waterproof makeup in one step.
How long one bottle lasts
Used morning and evening with one pump, the 190ml bottle lasts around three months.
