What is SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser?
SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser is a soap-free foaming facial cleanser made for skin that needs to be handled carefully. It dispenses as a dense foam and turns into a comforting emulsion on contact with wet skin, built on an amino acid surfactant base with calming orchis mascula and cucumber extracts and sorbitol to hold moisture. SkinCeuticals describes it as gentle enough for compromised, reactive and post-procedure skin, yet able to remove long-wear and waterproof makeup. It suits all skin types, including sensitive. Use it twice daily on a wet face and neck, then rinse thoroughly. Available at SkinCrew in 150 ml ($39).
Sourced direct from SkinCeuticals: guaranteed authentic, batch-fresh, fast US shipping.
The problem
Skin that is sensitive, reactive or recovering from an in-office procedure still has to be washed, and most foaming cleansers make that harder. Soap and sulfate surfactants can leave the face tight and stripped, while very mild cream cleansers often struggle with sunscreen and long-wear makeup. The result is a daily choice between skin that feels clean and skin that feels comfortable.
A real foam that is still gentle on skin.
Soothing Cleanser swaps soap and sulfates for an amino acid based surfactant system that foams densely, lifts makeup and debris, and rinses without leaving skin feeling dry. Sorbitol and glycerin draw water to the surface while orchid and cucumber extracts calm the feel of the skin. SkinCeuticals positions it as a complement to chemical peels, IPL, non-ablative laser, microdermabrasion, microneedling and injectables.

SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser: a calming foam for sensitive and post-procedure skin
SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser is the brand's cleanser for skin in a delicate state: sensitive, reactive, compromised or freshly out of an in-office procedure. The pump delivers a dense, cushiony foam that becomes a soft emulsion as you work it over wet skin, dissolving impurities and long-wear and waterproof makeup without the tight, squeaky feeling that soap-based foams leave behind.
The formula is short and deliberate: an amino acid surfactant base, sorbitol and glycerin for moisture, and orchis mascula and cucumber extracts for comfort. SkinCeuticals states it is non-comedogenic and free of parabens, alcohol, dyes, fragrance, sulfates, soap and gluten, and suitable for every skin type, including sensitive skin. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why Soothing Cleanser Stands Out
- Soap-free and sulfate-free, but still a true foam. The cleansing base is an amino acid surfactant system derived from glycine and coconut fatty acids, which SkinCeuticals says creates a rich foam that lifts debris and makeup without causing skin to feel dry.
- Built around post-procedure care. SkinCeuticals describes Soothing Cleanser as an ideal complement to chemical peels, intense pulsed light, non-ablative laser, microdermabrasion, microneedling and injectables. Follow your provider's aftercare instructions on when to start.
- Removes long-wear makeup. Unlike many cleansers made for sensitive skin, it is formulated to take off long-wear and waterproof makeup, so a separate remover is often unnecessary.
- A high share of comforting ingredients. SkinCeuticals reports a 22% concentration of sorbitol, glycerin, orchid extract and cucumber extract in the formula, which is why skin feels soft rather than stripped after rinsing.
| Feature | Soothing Cleanser | Typical foaming face washes | Typical cream cleansers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleansing base | Amino acid surfactants, soap-free and sulfate-free | Often soap or sulfate surfactants | Mild emulsifiers, little or no foam |
| Texture | Dense foam that turns into an emulsion | Airy lather | Lotion or cream |
| Long-wear makeup | Formulated to remove long-wear and waterproof makeup | Usually effective | Often needs a second cleanse |
| After-feel | Soft and comfortable | Can feel tight or dry | Comfortable, may leave residue |
| Post-procedure use | Positioned by SkinCeuticals as a procedure complement | Rarely designed for it | Varies by formula |

SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser FAQ
What does SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser do?
Soothing Cleanser is a soap-free foaming face wash that dissolves impurities, sunscreen and long-wear makeup while soothing sensitive, compromised or post-procedure skin. Its amino acid surfactant base cleans without leaving skin feeling dry, and sorbitol, orchid extract and cucumber extract keep the skin feeling comfortable.
How do you use SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser?
Use it twice daily. Apply a small amount, about one pump of foam, to a wet face and neck and massage with a light circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry, then continue with toner, serums and moisturizer, plus sunscreen in the morning.
Can I use Soothing Cleanser after a chemical peel or laser?
SkinCeuticals describes Soothing Cleanser as an ideal complement to in-office procedures such as chemical peels, intense pulsed light, non-ablative laser, microdermabrasion, microneedling and injectables. Every procedure is different, so follow the aftercare instructions from your own provider on when to start cleansing.
Does Soothing Cleanser remove makeup?
Yes. Although it is gentle enough for reactive and post-procedure skin, SkinCeuticals states that Soothing Cleanser thoroughly removes long-wear and waterproof makeup. The dense foam turns into an emulsion on wet skin, which helps lift makeup before you rinse.
Is SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser good for sensitive skin?
Yes. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. SkinCeuticals lists the formula as non-comedogenic and free of parabens, alcohol, dyes, fragrance, sulfates, soap and gluten, and it is designed for daily use morning and evening.
What is the difference between Soothing Cleanser and Gentle Cleanser?
Both are made for skin that needs a mild wash. Soothing Cleanser is a pump foam with an amino acid surfactant base and calming botanical extracts, positioned for sensitive and post-procedure skin. Gentle Cleanser is SkinCeuticals' cream cleanser, a good fit if you prefer a non-foaming texture.
What should I use after Soothing Cleanser?
SkinCeuticals pairs it with Equalizing Toner, then C E Ferulic in the morning, a hydrating corrective serum such as H.A. Intensifier, Emollience moisturizer and a broad-spectrum sunscreen. At night, cleanse and tone, then apply your corrective serum and moisturizer.
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 Soothing Cleanser arrives fresh, authentic and in current packaging, with fast US shipping.
