Balancing Cleansing Emulsion

$52.00

6.7 fl oz / 200 mL

A gentle first cleanse. Massaged onto dry skin, the gel dissolves makeup, sunscreen and impurities, then turns milky with water and rinses clean without residue. Light emollients and sugar-derived surfactants lift oil while leaving the lipid barrier intact, so it suits sensitized and post-procedure skin as a primary cleanser.

Why Dr. Howarth recommends it
The cleanser on the shelf for skin that is healing after a laser session or peel. It is non-foaming, free of fragrance, dye and sulfates, and carries the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.
  • Melts away makeup, sunscreen and impurities without stripping
  • Helps visibly calm redness and reactivity
  • Supports the skin barrier as it cleanses
  • Fragrance-, dye- and sulfate-free

Massage onto dry skin around the face and eyes for 1 minute, then add water to turn the gel into a milky emulsion and rinse thoroughly. Use morning and evening as the first cleansing step; on normal skin it works as a pre-cleanse before a water-soluble cleanser, and on sensitized or post-procedure skin it serves as the primary cleanser.

  • Light emollients: skin-mimetic blend that conditions and supports the lipid barrier
  • Sugar-derived surfactants: ultra-mild, non-foaming cleansers that lift oil without disrupting the barrier
  • Bisabolol and oat kernel extract: help visibly calm reddened, itchy skin
