This one is gentle enough for rosacea-prone or reactive skin, but it actually removes SPF and makeup properly — which is non-negotiable. I recommend it as the evening first-cleanse for anyone whose barrier needs rebuilding." — Nurse Rachel Storey, NMC-registered What to expect Day 1: Soft, nourished, calm finish Week 1: Less reactivity, fewer "tight after cleansing" days Week 4: Barrier feels more resilient — less reactive to actives later in routine Week 8: Most patients say it's the gentlest balm they've used that still removes SPF properly Build your routine Use as your evening first cleanse, follow with Bog Myrtle & Lime Cleanser for a second cleanse if you wear heavy SPF or makeup. Or pair with Prep Mist for a calm, hydrating finish. How to use As a cleanser: Scoop a small amount with clean dry hands. Warm between fingertips until silky. Massage onto dry skin in circular motions. Add a splash of warm water to emulsify into a milky texture. Rinse thoroughly or remove with the cloth. As a 10-minute mask: Apply generously, leave for 10 minutes, rinse with warm water or remove with the cloth. Perfect for Rosacea-prone skin, reactive or sensitive skin, breakout-prone skin needing a gentler first cleanse, anyone struggling to remove SPF without irritation.
