A purifying face wash that cuts shine without leaving skin tight
Respire Gel Nettoyant Purifiant is a purifying cleansing gel for oily and combination skin prone to shine, blackheads and enlarged pores. Salicylic acid (2%) helps exfoliate and regulate sebum while prebiotics support a balanced skin microbiome, so the gel cleanses thoroughly without stripping the skin. The brand reports 7 times less visible sebum after a single use.
The texture
A light gel that builds an enveloping lather on damp skin and rinses off cleanly, leaving no tight or dry feeling.
Who it suits
- Oily to combination skin
- Blackheads, enlarged pores and shine
- Skin exposed to make-up, sport or pollution
- Teens and adults wanting a non-drying cleanser
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains fragrance. Use once or twice a day; over-cleansing oily skin can trigger more oil production.
