Face washes are often cast aside as an afterthought or a supporting act — but in reality, they’re the stars of the skin-care show. Without a proper cleanse, excess oil, dirt, pollution, and makeup clogs pores, dulls skin, and ultimately prevents your face treatments from doing much of anything at all. That’s why a good face wash formula that’s cleansing enough to break down grime, but not so stripping that it’ll leave your face dry and tight, is key. Biossance’s new Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser checks all those boxes and more. Here’s why it’s the best cleanser with benefits for every skin type —and for the environment, too.
Amino Acids Clean Out Pores
Has your face ever felt tight after washing it? If so, it’s because many cleansers use harsh surfactants to clean, which disrupts the outer protective layer of your skin that keeps it glowing. However, this formula uses a gentle touch with a mild, but super effective amino acid complex that swoops deep into your pores to break down and dissolve gunk and makeup. Amino acids also condition, so your complexion is going to feel super soft and supple right after rinsing.
