Facial cleanser / gel face wash

Description

Gentle, soap-free, fragrance-free gel facial cleanser with 4% Polyhydroxy Acid (Gluconolactone) designed to cleanse and lightly exfoliate without drying or stripping the skin. Formulated for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin, and particularly suitable as part of therapeutic or post-procedure skincare regimens. The non-foaming PHA formula helps support the skin’s moisture barrier while removing makeup, excess oil and impurities.
