Gentle Skin Cleanser
across 4 reviews
3.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Genuinely gentle formulation with no sulfates, no fragrance, and a pH close to the skin's natural level, making it well-tolerated by sensitive, eczema-prone, or reactive skin
  • Milky, lotion-like texture leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated rather than tight or squeaky clean after rinsing
  • Can be wiped off with a damp cloth without water, useful when water access is limited
Reviewers push back
  • Cleansing power is limited — oily skin types and those wearing heavy makeup often find it insufficient on its own, requiring double-cleansing
  • Does not foam, which some users find unsatisfying as a standalone face wash
  • Citric acid in the formula can cause redness or irritation in highly sensitive or inflamed skin
This is like a moisturizer in a cleanser bottle really, it's a very hydrating cleanser.
Dr. Daniel Sugai · best for People with dry, sensitive, or barrier-compromised skin — including those using retinoids or other active treatments — who need a non-irritating, hydration-preserving daily cleanser.
Reviewers disagree · Gentle Skin Cleanser?
Dr. Daniel Sugai 4.5/5
Everything to Z 3.0/5

Dr. Daniel Sugai considers this his most-recommended cleanser for dry and sensitive skin without reservation; Dr. Somji Skin notes it felt insufficiently cleansing on her own oily skin, suggesting suitability is strongly skin-type dependent

Love this gentle refreshing delicious face soap been using daily it for years! Recently I had a rash on my legs that my body soap was too strong and used the fantastic face soap on these areas until the rash disappeared. Worked great to clean area with no irritation. Such a great product! This is my first bottle with the new packaging couldn't be happier. The new packaging and design only elevate Aubin C. · ursamajorvt.com
