A creamy, non-foaming cleanser with ceramide-3, niacinamide and prebiotic thermal water. One of the most-recommended sensitive-skin cleansers — it removes grime without disturbing the barrier, though it won't fully remove heavy makeup alone.

What's actually doing the work

Ceramides
Ceramide NP
Lipid
Barrier lipids that make up much of the stratum corneum's protective matrix. Replenishing them reduces water loss and reinforces resilience — central to barrier repair and to calming dry, reactive skin.
Niacinamide
Vitamin B3
Vitamin
Vitamin B3. Regulates sebum, strengthens the barrier by boosting ceramide synthesis, evens tone by limiting pigment transfer, and calms inflammation. Well-tolerated at 2–10%; one of the most versatile, evidence-backed actives.
Glycerin
Humectant
Solvent
A key active in this formula. See the glossary for the full breakdown of how Glycerin works, the evidence behind it, and how to use it.
