No mystery blends
What is actually in it, and what each part does
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionateon the tube as SCIA very mild coconut-derived surfactant. It cleans without the tight, stripped feeling.
Centella Asiatica Leaf ExtractFor skin that goes red easily and stays red.
Bisabololfrom chamomileA calming ingredient used to settle irritation rather than mask it.
Sodium Hyaluronate and GlycerinHold water in the skin, so cleansing does not leave it parched.
NiacinamideSupports the barrier over weeks. This is not a brightening promise.
Gluconolactonea PHAThe mildest of the acids. Light surface renewal without the sting.
Morning and night
How to use it
It will not foam much. That is the formula, not a fault.
- Wet your faceLukewarm water. Hot water undoes the point of a gentle cleanser.
- One pump, massage gentlyNo scrubbing. Let the formula do the work for about thirty seconds.
- Rinse and pat dryLeave skin slightly damp rather than bone dry.
- Moisturise while dampThis traps the water the cleanser left behind. Sunscreen after, in the morning.
What to expect, honestly
A gentle cleanser works by not causing problems. That is harder to notice.
Week 1No tightness after washing. That is the whole point of this one.
Week 3Less redness in the minutes after cleansing.
Week 6Barrier feels steadier, and skin tolerates the rest of your routine better.
Straight talk
Who this is for, and who it is not
We would rather you buy the other one than be disappointed by this one.
Reach for it if
- Your skin feels tight or squeaky after washing
- You are reactive and go red easily
- You are using actives and need a cleanser that does not add to the load
- Your skin is dry, especially through winter
Give it a miss if
- Your skin is properly oily and you want a deep clean - Clean Slate is the one you want
- You want a big, foaming lather
- You need heavy makeup gone in a single pass
- You expect a face wash to treat a skin condition
