How to use

Any time of day, as the first step. Wet the face with lukewarm water, lather between your palms, massage in gentle circles, rinse well and pat dry. Follow with a hydrating moisturizer.

Pros
  • Cream cleanser with ceramides and hyaluronic acid that does not leave skin tight, per the brand
  • Holds the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance
Cons
  • No treatment active, so it cleans but does not address acne or dark marks
  • Made for normal to dry skin; oily skin may prefer a foaming cleanser
