What is SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser?
SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser is a creamy, non-foaming cleanser for normal, dry and sensitive skin. It pairs an emollient-rich surfactant system with allantoin, glycerin and orange peel oil to lift impurities and long-wear face and eye makeup while leaving skin soft and conditioned, with no trace of residue. SkinCeuticals positions it for daily use and as a complement to professional treatments such as chemical peels, lasers, microneedling and injectables. Massage a small amount onto a wet face and neck twice daily, then rinse or tissue off. It is free of soap, sulfates, parabens, alcohol and dyes. Available at SkinCrew in 190 ml ($39).

The problem
Dry and sensitive skin often feels worse after washing than before. Foaming cleansers can leave it tight, squeaky and uncomfortable, and removing long-wear makeup usually means more rubbing or a second product. After an in-office treatment the problem gets sharper: skin needs to be clean, but it has very little patience for anything harsh or stripping.
Clean skin that still feels like skin.
Gentle Cleanser is a cream, so it does not foam and it does not rely on soap or sulfates. Its emollient-rich surfactant system emulsifies makeup and debris so they rinse or tissue away easily, while allantoin and glycerin condition as you cleanse. The result is skin that feels soft and comfortable, which is why SkinCeuticals recommends it alongside professional treatments.

SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser: a cream cleanser that comforts dry, tight skin
SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser is the cream cleanser in the SkinCeuticals range, made for normal, dry and sensitive skin and for skin that feels sensitized or dehydrated. It is non-foaming and soap-free, and it removes impurities and long-wear face and eye makeup without leaving a film behind. You can rinse it with water or simply tissue it off.
SkinCeuticals describes the formula as non-comedogenic and free of parabens, sulfates, alcohol, dyes, soy and gluten, with no synthetic fragrance. It lists Gentle Cleanser as ideal for daily use and as a complement to chemical peels, intense pulsed light, non-ablative lasers, microdermabrasion, microneedling and injectables. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why Gentle Cleanser Stands Out
- A cream, not a foam. Gentle Cleanser does not lather. Its emollient-rich surfactant system emulsifies makeup and debris so skin is cleansed without the tight feel that foaming formulas can leave on dry skin.
- Rinse it or tissue it off. SkinCeuticals states the cleanser can be rinsed with water or tissued off, which is useful when skin feels too reactive for a lot of splashing and rubbing.
- Takes off long-wear makeup. It removes long-wear face and eye makeup with no trace of residue, so most people do not need a separate makeup remover first.
- Built around professional treatments. SkinCeuticals lists it as a complement to chemical peels, IPL, non-ablative lasers, microdermabrasion, microneedling and injectables.

SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser FAQ
What does SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser do?
Gentle Cleanser removes impurities and long-wear face and eye makeup while softening the skin. It is a non-foaming cream with an emollient-rich surfactant system, allantoin and glycerin, designed to comfort dry, tight-feeling skin and leave no residue behind.
How do I use SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser?
Use it twice daily. Apply a small amount to a wet face and neck with a light circular motion, then tissue it off or rinse thoroughly with water. Follow with toner, an antioxidant serum and sunscreen in the morning, or a corrective product and moisturizer at night.
Who should use Gentle Cleanser?
SkinCeuticals recommends Gentle Cleanser for normal, dry and sensitive skin, including skin that feels dehydrated or sensitized. It is also the cleanser SkinCeuticals suggests for sensitive skin in place of its exfoliating cleansers, which are aimed at oilier or more resilient skin.
Does Gentle Cleanser remove makeup?
Yes. SkinCeuticals states that Gentle Cleanser efficiently removes impurities and long-wear face and eye makeup without any trace of residue. Massage it over wet skin, then rinse with water or tissue it off.
Can I use Gentle Cleanser after a professional treatment?
SkinCeuticals lists Gentle Cleanser as a complement to professional treatments such as chemical peels, intense pulsed light, non-ablative lasers, microdermabrasion, microneedling and injectables. Aftercare is individual, so follow the instructions your provider gives you for post-procedure skin.
What is the difference between Gentle Cleanser and Simply Clean?
Gentle Cleanser is a non-foaming cream for normal, dry and sensitive skin and it does not exfoliate. Simply Clean is a foaming gel for normal, oily and combination skin that uses HEPES to support the natural exfoliation of the skin and removes excess oil and waterproof makeup.
Is SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser fragrance-free?
SkinCeuticals describes Gentle Cleanser as free of synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulfates, soap, alcohol and dyes. The formula does contain orange peel oil, an essential oil, and limonene appears on the ingredient list, so it has a light natural citrus character.
Is SkinCrew an authorized SkinCeuticals retailer in the US?
Yes. SkinCrew is an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer and sources every unit directly from SkinCeuticals, so Gentle Cleanser arrives fresh, authentic and in current packaging, with fast US shipping.
