FAQ

  • Can I use this to remove eye makeup and SPF?

    This gel-to-foam cleanser gently removes everyday makeup, SPF, and excess oil without stripping your skin. It’s safe to use around the eyes and leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.

  • Is this fungal acne safe?

    Fungal acne (or Malassezia folliculitis) can be triggered by fatty acid-rich oils, and Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser uses our Triple Lipid Complex of fatty acids, ceramides, and sterols to protect the moisture barrier through deep cleansing. If you’re breakout-prone or concerned about that, you might prefer our 2% BHA Cleanser, which is fungal acne safe and proven to help clear breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.

  • Is this safe for sensitive skin?

    Yes, our Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser was clinically tested and shown to be safe for sensitive skin. The formula is fragrance-free, non-stripping, and developed with barrier health in mind to cleanse thoroughly—yet gently.

  • Is this safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

    Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser has been reviewed and tested for safety on a panel of people who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding. It does not include any ingredients known to be unsafe while pregnant or breastfeeding, but as with any new product, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider if you're concerned.

Reviews

My favorite cleanser that is

"My favorite cleanser that is gentle enough to soothe my damaged skin yet strong enough to take off sunscreen! Makes my skin feel squeaky clean without drying out. The only thing I don’t really like is the dispenser. It gets messy when I try to close it after squeezing out the product. It’s also hard to control how much product comes out (usually too much and I feel like it’s a waste)."

Katrina C. (5/5)

I really like this product.

"I really like this product. It leaves the skin on my face feeling clean but never dry, and the scent is mild (not 'perfumy' at all). And it doesn't irritate my skin (I have rosacea). The price for the volume is a good value. My only complaint is with the design for closure of the bottle. It's awkward/messy to turn when you have cleanser on your fingers. You can't leave it open while you wash your face because it opens from the bottom and, therefore, leaks (and it leaks even if you only lay it on its side when it's still quite full). That could be improved. But the product itself is nice."

Jennifer B. (4/5)

My new all-in-one cleanser that

"My new all-in-one cleanser that has been so nourishing for my skin barrier as my skin adjusts to Tretinoin! If the packaging weren’t so annoying I’d give it 5-stars."

Hope F. (4/5)

"I have been searching for products that would work for my hormonal acne and wrinkles! Love this cleanser and buy it on repeat"

Amber (5/5)

I enjoyed using this cleanser.

"I enjoyed using this cleanser. It felt like my face felt clean and my skin tightened. It was also gentle enough that it didn't dry out my face or cause irritation which my skin is prone to do."

Tasha W. (5/5)

Amazing cleanser. Won't use anything

"Amazing cleanser. Won't use anything else!"

Janeah O. (5/5)

Amazing cleanser

"This cleanser is amazing. It cleans the skin really well while leaving it soft, smooth, and hydrated at the same time."

Sherowg (5/5)

It's fine. 5oz cap sucks

"It's a fine cleanser, not really anything amazing. I switched to it because my go-to got discontinued. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin, and it doesn't completely prevent acne from forming, but at least my skin doesn't negatively react to it so it's an overall win. I also bought the acne face wash to switch off with when my skin is getting too unruly, but even then results are meh. The consistency is very runny, and it foams nicely. My skin doesn't feel stretched or dry afterwards. I tried the 1oz version first and switched to 5oz when it didn't seem like my skin would hate it. The 1oz bottle is a regular squeeze bottle with a cap, but the 5oz is terribly designed and it drives me nuts. The "cap" is just a screw top you turn to open and close that has a hole in the middle. Absolutely fucking disaster, like I'm drinking propel rather than trying to get face wash out. It leaks when I just leave it on the counter in the "closed" position, so I definitely won't be able to take it when traveling since it would just explode in my checked bag. It's bad enough to where I might not buy it again since it only performs like an average face wash anyway."

Excellent product. Nice, soft, moisture

"Excellent product. Nice, soft, moisture while cleaning. No drying out skin. The balance of moisture is excellent."

LaVern C. (5/5)

I really like this ectoin

"I really like this ectoin cleanser. I use it in the evening and I use the oil based foaming cleaner in AM. I have sensitive, reactive and combination (oily on forehead and dry on cheeks) skin. I’ve tried so many products over the years but skinfix is the most gentle and effective for me."

Q&A

What's the difference between this and the Foaming Oil Cleanser?
Hi C N The main differences come down to texture, ingredients, and makeup removal. The Foaming Oil Cleanser has a thicker gel texture and feels extra comforting—making it a great choice for dry or sensitive skin. The Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser is lighter, foamier, and more refreshing. It’s safe for all skin types and includes a little of our Triple Lipid Complex to help support your skin barrier while removing tough makeup and SPF. Both are gentle and hydrating. If your skin needs extra comfort, the Foaming Oil Cleanser is a soothing option. For a fresh, everyday cleanse that handles makeup and SPF with ease, go with the Gentle Gel Cleanser. We hope this helps!
Can this be used to remove eye makeup?
Hi Kelly, Thank you for reaching out. Yes, this can be used to remove eye make up! Use twice daily: in the morning to gently refresh skin and reinfoce skin's barrier, and in the evening massage into wet skin for 60 seconds (dermatologist tip!) to dissolve makeup, impurities, and SPF. Rinse well with lukewarm water and pat dry, follow with serum, moisturizer, and SPF in the morning. We hope this helps! 💙
