FAQ

Q: Is SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser suitable for use after professional treatments?
A: Yes, this cleanser is clinically tested and proven safe for post-procedure skin. It's an ideal complement to in-office treatments including chemical peels, laser procedures, microdermabrasion, microneedling, and injectables. The gentle, non-irritating formula helps support skin barrier recovery whilst maintaining optimal cleansing efficacy.

Q: Can this cleanser remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen?
A: Gentle Cleanser effectively removes long-wear face and eye makeup, including most waterproof formulations. For extremely tenacious waterproof products, you may benefit from allowing the cleanser to sit on skin for 30-60 seconds before rinsing, or using a pre-cleanse with micellar water for optimal removal.

Q: How does Gentle Cleanser differ from foaming cleansers?
A: Unlike foaming cleansers that rely on surfactants that can strip natural oils, Gentle Cleanser uses a cream-based, non-foaming formula with an emollient-rich surfactant system. This approach cleanses effectively whilst conditioning and hydrating the skin, making it particularly suitable for dry and sensitive skin types that may find foaming cleansers too stripping.

Q: Can I use this cleanser if I have combination or oily skin?
A: Whilst Gentle Cleanser is specifically formulated for dry, normal, and sensitive skin types, those with combination skin experiencing sensitivity may find it beneficial. For oily or blemish-prone skin, our experts typically recommend SkinCeuticals Simply Clean or Blemish + Age Cleanser for more targeted concerns. Speak to our skincare specialists for personalised recommendations.

Q: When can I expect to see results?
A: Immediate benefits include softer, more hydrated skin after each use. Progressive improvements in skin barrier function, reduced roughness, and enhanced skin comfort typically become apparent within 2-4 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. For post-procedure skin, soothing benefits are often noticeable from first application.
