Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash.

Dry skin

Face feeling tight? Your skin will love the combo of our Vitamin E Cream Cleanser followed by Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash. Their formulas are enriched with vitamin E and are perfect for all skin types, including dry skin as they avoid leaving skin feeling stripped of its natural moisture.

Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash

Oily skin

Facial skin can become oily and blemish prone when it overproduces sebum in a bid to keep you hydrated. Our Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash and Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser address that by leaving skin feeling fresh and less oily, without feeling dried out.

Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser

Sensitive skin

Skin on the face is much thinner than the rest of the body, so is it any wonder sensitive skin types need even more attention? Our Aloe Calming Foaming Wash and Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser are just for you. They are formulated to be gentle, helping to leave skin feeling soft and not tight.

The difference between a cleanser and a face wash

Let’s not overcomplicate this – both do clean your face. But for the most thorough routine, you’ll want to start with a cleanser and follow it with a face wash. That’s what they call a ‘double cleanse’.

But why? What’s the difference between a face wash and a cleanser? Both ‘cleanse’, but work in subtly different ways.

Cleansers tend to have a creamy, milky or gel consistency are made to purify, hydrate and soothe your skin. Ultimately leaving you feeling (yep, you’ve guessed it) - cleansed.

Face washes often contain soap, which is why they can get a bit more lathery. Their main purpose is to give your face a good clean and will often go deeper into your pores.

But as for which ones are right for you? Why not take a look.
