sensitiveDamaged Barrier

The original pharmacy micellar water — gentle enough for reactive skin, effective at dissolving daily makeup and sunscreen. Not a standalone cleanser if you wear heavy makeup; excellent as a first cleanse or a no-water morning refresh.

Youth to the People
Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser
CleanserPremiumMorning or evening
DullnessSensitive skin

A gel cleanser with kale, spinach and green tea extracts. Vitamin-rich, non-stripping, pleasant pH — though the evidence that vegetable extracts do anything meaningful in a rinse-off is thin. Good everyday wash at a slightly premium price.
