Choosing the right cleanser is the most important step in any skincare routine. The right formula will leave your skin feeling clean, balanced, and perfectly prepped for the rest of your products. But with different options available, how do you know which one is the perfect match for your skin's specific needs?
Two of our most-loved cleansers are the Calm Cleanser and the Gentle Ceramide Gel Cleanser. While both are designed to be kind to your skin, they each offer unique benefits. Let’s break down the difference so you can find your perfect cleanse.
For Soothing & Pollution Protection: Calm Cleanser
Think of the Calm Cleanser as a comforting, nourishing hug for your skin. This is your go-to choice if your primary concerns are redness, irritation, or the daily stress your skin endures from environmental pollutants.
Who It's For:
This cleanser is ideal for those with normal to dry skin types, or anyone whose skin feels stressed, reactive, or looks red and irritated.
The Key Ingredients:
Its power comes from a blend of restorative botanicals. The "serum milky" formula uses a proprietary Calm Comfrey Liposome to reduce irritation, while Arnica and Gotu Kola provide deep soothing benefits. It also features Plant Glycoproteins, which provide crucial pollution protection by helping to strengthen the skin's defenses against environmental aggressors.
The Feel:
It has a soft, serum-milky texture that gently removes makeup and impurities while comforting the skin, leaving it feeling calm and hydrated.
For Barrier Repair & Sensitive Skin: Gentle Ceramide Gel Cleanser
Think of the Gentle Ceramide Gel Cleanser as your skin's daily reset button. This is your must-have if you have sensitive skin or a compromised skin barrier, and your main goal is to cleanse effectively without stripping away essential moisture.
Who It's For:
This cleanser is a dream for all skin types, but it is especially "suitable for dry or easily sensitized skin". If your skin often feels tight or dry after washing, this is the cleanser for you.
The Key Ingredients:
The hero of this formula is Plant Ceramides. These essential lipids work to "restore and protect the skin's barrier", preventing moisture loss and leaving skin feeling supple. We've also included Jerusalem Artichoke Inulin, a prebiotic that delivers a boost of hydration while promoting a healthy, balanced microbiome.
The Feel:
It has a refreshing, lightweight gel texture that lathers gently to remove impurities and makeup, rinsing completely clean and leaving skin feeling soft, balanced, and hydrated.
The Verdict: Which is Right for You?
- If your skin is feeling stressed, red, and needs extra comfort, reach for the Calm Cleanser.
- If your primary concern is strengthening your skin barrier and getting a gentle, hydrating cleanse for sensitive skin, choose the Gentle Ceramide Gel Cleanser.
