Facial Cleansers

Cleansing is the most important step of a routine: on clean skin a serum and cream absorb properly, and if the cleanser is too harsh, even the best care cannot make up for it. The right cleanser removes make-up, sunscreen and excess oil without leaving the skin tight.

PURE LAB stocks professional facial cleansers from Juliette Armand, Image Skincare, pHformula, Janssen Cosmetics, Medik8 and HydroPeptide: gels, foams, milks, oils and balms.

How to choose a cleanser:

• Oily and acne-prone skin – a gel or foam with salicylic acid or tea tree oil.
• Dry skin – a cleansing milk, creamy gel or cleansing oil.
• Sensitive skin – a gentle fragrance-free gel or micellar mousse.
• Make-up and SPF – double cleansing: an oil or balm first, then a gel.

Use lukewarm water – hot water dries the skin and can increase redness.
