Soft Wash

Complete Daily Cleanser | 5.2 fl oz

  • Consistency is key for results!
  • Tip: Dr. Shereene Idriss recommends that you use a cleanser only at night, unless you worked out in the morning or are on the oilier side.

This pH-balanced jelly cleanser is tough on sunscreen and light-wearing makeup, but gentle enough for sensitive skin. Plus, it is non-irritating for your eyes so you can finally take a peek when washing your face to ensure thorough cleansing.

Suitable for all skin types. Clinically tested, dermatologist tested, fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-irritating. pH balanced formula.

“I wanted to create a cleanser that didn't require double cleansing to effectively clean SPF and light everyday makeup, while still being gentle on the skin. I included poloxamer, an ingredient commonly found in contact solution, to ensure this would be suitable for the more sensitive eyes so you can keep your eyes open when removing eye makeup leaving no surprises left behind.”

- Dr. Shereene Idriss

Apply a dime to quarter-sized amount of cleanser onto dry skin, then gently add warm water and massage it all over your face to melt away your sunscreen and makeup. Rinse and pat dry.

Wearing makeup?

Light makeup: no need to double cleanse! Single step with Soft Wash is enough to remove light makeup, SPF and other impurities.

Heavy makeup: use Soft Wash as your second step in your double cleanse routine.

Tips from Dr. Idriss

  • Don’t expect this formula to foam up - it doesn’t contain traditional surfactants. Instead, this gentle yet effective formula helps skin to retain hydration.

  • Non-irritating to the eyes, so give a quick peek and ensure thorough cleansing without any surprises later on.

  • Most people only need to cleanse with Soft Wash at night, but if you’re on the oily side or have acne-prone skin, it’s gentle enough to use in the morning too.
