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

Excellent cleanser, please fix packaging

"Love love the cleanser, non drying or stripping. The packaging however has very sharp corner edges and it is so easy to cut yourself as when the tube is wet it is slippery. Will give it props for being completely empty once finished and cut open - but would like to see a softer container with rounded edges. The cleanser itself is excellent."

— Monica (4/5)

My sensitive skin’s perfect cleanser

"I’m absolutely obsessed with this cleanser! 🤍 My ultra-sensitive, acne-prone skin feels clean, calm, and hydrated after every use. It doesn’t strip my skin or irritate it, it feels like a gentle hug for my skin barrier. A new skincare essential for me! ✨"

— Sofia O. (5/5)

I loved this the first

"I loved this the first time I purchased it, but it has been reformulated. The first bottle I bought was a clear cleanser, the most recent one is a similar consistency but cloudy. The packaging has also been changed. I don't think that it cleanses as effectively now."

— Madeline R. (2/5)

Excellent for acne

"My teen daughters favourite cleanser, it doesn’t dry out her skin and helps her acne clear."

— Dana (5/5)

I have been using this

"I have been using this product for almost two weeks and it really is starting to help my skin problems. I am seeing a difference already. It is early to give a full review but I can say that I love this product."

— Lise J. (5/5)

I love this Skinfix Gentle

"I love this Skinfix Gentle Gel Ectoin cleanser, a little goes a long way, it suds up to a soft foam without any perfume smell, very gentle on the skin and doesn't leave a dry feeling. Hydrates and leaves the skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated!"

— TONI B. (5/5)

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! 💙
