Cleanser is where I start when someone comes in with reactive skin, because it is the product that touches every part of the face twice a day and it is the one people spend least on. A fragrance-free cream cleanser with a mild surfactant fixes more problems than any serum does, and it costs less than most of them.

Key actives
| Active | What it does | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Decyl glucosideDecyl Glucoside | A mild sugar-derived cleansing agent that lifts oil and makeup without stripping the skin. | The surfactant is what decides whether a cleanser is gentle. This is one of the mildest available. |
| Sunflower and oat oilsHelianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Avena Sativa (Oat Kernel) Oil | Two conditioning oils that keep the skin comfortable while it is being cleansed. | Oat is long-established on irritable skin, and it is why this leaves no tightness afterwards. |
| Sea buckthorn and pomegranateHippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, Punica Granatum Seed Extract | Two fruit extracts that add antioxidant support to an otherwise plain formula. | Small additions, but they are the difference between a basic cleanser and a considered one. |

05 · Questions
Common questions
It is the change we suggest first for reactive skin, and it is usually the cheapest one available. A cleanser touches your whole face twice a day. If it carries fragrance or a harsh surfactant, it undoes what everything else is trying to do.
Everyday makeup and sunscreen, yes. For heavy or waterproof eye makeup, use a dedicated remover or a micellar wipe first, then cleanse. Do not scrub at the eye area trying to make one product do both jobs.
Yes. Foam comes from surfactants that are generally harsher than the one used here, and it is a sensation rather than a measure of cleanliness. A cream cleanser that leaves skin comfortable has done the job.
Yes, and it is what we would put you on while your skin recovers. Follow whatever specific aftercare we gave you, but as a general rule a plain fragrance-free cream cleanser is the safe choice in the days after any procedure.
