Details & care
What it is: Squalane Cleanser is designed to effectively cleanse the skin by removing makeup, dirt, and impurities, while also supporting the skin’s moisture barrier through hydration.
Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types.
What it does: Formulated with plant-derived squalane, a well-known moisturizing agent, this cleanser leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated. The addition of lipophilic esters helps dissolve makeup without stripping the skin. This gentle cleanser formulation is non-comedogenic, soap-free, ideal for daily use across all skin types and is suitable for combining with other skincare products.
How to use: Dispense the cleanser into your hands then rub your hands together to warm the product until it melts into an oil. Massage well onto a dry face and rinse with warm water.

Clean Face
If you want a clean face and not left over residue start here. I also use another great line to clean my face because l think you need to change things up and alternate some products to get the best results for your skin. I am new to this line and so far l am highly impressed.

formula changed
they definitely changed the formula unfortunately which really sucks for me because it was the ONLY cleanser that worked with my extremely sensitive skin. ran out of this cleanser a couple of months ago so naturally i bought a new one as i usually do, and i immediately knew they changed the formula. the texture and smell was different and it made my skin super inflamed and red. such a shame.

Amazing
I bought this about a month ago and it works wonders! I have sensitive, dehydrated skin with a weak skin barrier and this cleanser is so gentle and removes dirt, sunscreen, oils etc so gently but effectively.

Gentle cleanser I keep repurchasing
I’ve been loving this cleanser because it gets my skin clean without leaving it stripped or tight. A lot of cleansers can feel harsh on my skin, but this one feels gentle while still doing the job. It fits really well into a simple routine and has become one of those products I keep reaching for. Great for anyone who wants an effective cleanser without overcomplicating skincare.

10/10 cleanser
re purchased again and again, very effective cleanser, non foaming, not oily. Has enough slip to be able to cleanse and do a facial massage at the same time. Great price on this too. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Will say if yu wear contact lenses to be careful around the eyes.
