←Dr. Grandel Cleansing

DR. GRANDEL is a German high-end professional cosmetics brand whose philosophy can be summed up in a promise as simple as it is demanding: to deeply understand the skin in order to transform it. With more than 75 years of research behind it, this family-owned brand has built its prestige on the union of optimised nature, advanced biotechnology and manufacturing quality comparable to pharmaceutical standards. All its products are made at its plant in Augsburg (Germany) using carefully selected raw materials—including active ingredients derived from wheat germ made in-house—and its formulas undergo strict hygiene and process controls that help minimise the use of preservatives. The result is luxury cosmetics with proven efficacy, found in beauty salons, spas and specialised clinics in more than 50 countries.

The Cleansing line by DR. GRANDEL starts from an unwavering conviction: an effective beauty routine always begins with proper cleansing. This isn't just about removing impurities or make-up, but about preparing the skin's canvas so that subsequent treatment actives can penetrate with maximum effectiveness. To this end, this range offers a complete selection of products designed for every need and skin type, from the oiliest and most blemish-prone to the most sensitive and reactive, as well as normal or combination skin seeking daily balance and comfort. Every texture, every formula, follows a dermocosmetic logic: cleansing effectively without compromising the skin barrier, and doing so with the sensorial pleasure that a high-end cosmetics ritual deserves.

The range of products that make up this DR. GRANDEL line covers every step of professional facial cleansing. The Gentle Foam Cleanser uses naturally derived apple surfactants and tamarind extract to cleanse with extreme gentleness while respecting the skin's barrier function, leaving skin hydrated and calm even for the most reactive skin types. The Micellar Cleansing Water offers a highly convenient 2-in-1 solution: its micellar technology captures impurities, sebum and make-up—including eye make-up—in a single step, with a watery, ultra-sensorial texture that requires no rinsing. For the toning step, the line offers two clearly differentiated options: the Fresh Tonic, with fruit acids and a touch of alcohol, refines the skin's texture, minimises the appearance of pores and controls shine on combination and oily skin; while the Soft Tonic, alcohol-free, envelops dry and sensitive skin with hydration, light freshness and a silky feel that turns the final cleansing step into a moment of true relaxation.

Completing the range, DR. GRANDEL's peeling offering elevates your skincare routine to salon-treatment level. The Alpha Effect AHA-Peeling 20 is a chemical exfoliating gel with fruit acids that refines the skin's texture, smooths minor irregularities and restores radiance with a comfortable, gradual-use formula; the recommended protocol involves daily application for 28 days—in line with the skin's natural cell renewal cycle—and can be repeated three or four times a year for optimal results. The Triple Acid Peeling, formulated with a 10 % pH-controlled multi-salicylic complex between 3.5 and 4.0, combines the synergistic action of AHA, PHA and succinic acid to precisely and safely activate renewal processes, visibly refining texture, minimising the appearance of pores, smoothing fine lines and boosting facial radiance.

The hero ingredients of the DR. GRANDEL Cleansing line reflect the brand's commitment to science-backed efficacy. Apple-derived surfactants ensure deep cleansing without aggression; tamarind extract, recognised for its moisturising and soothing properties, preserves skin comfort after cleansing; micellar technology acts as a selective magnet that captures impurities without disrupting the skin's pH or microbiota; and the complex of AHA, PHA and succinic acid offers a new generation of chemical exfoliation, gentler and more complete than conventional single-acid peels. This rigour in the selection of active ingredients, combined with a controlled pH in the exfoliating products, is the technological signature that sets DR. GRANDEL apart within luxury professional cosmetics.

Incorporating the DR. GRANDEL Cleansing line into your daily routine means adopting the same hygiene protocol used by beauty professionals in-salon. The ideal sequence begins with the cleanser suited to your skin type — the Gentle Foam Cleanser for delicate skin, the Micellar Cleansing Water for a quick and thorough cleanse — and finishes with the corresponding toner: the Fresh Tonic to balance and refine oily or combination skin, or the Soft Tonic to restore comfort to sensitive or dry skin. One or two days a week, depending on your skin's needs and your experience with acids, you can add the Triple Acid Peeling or the Alpha Effect AHA-Peeling 20 as a treatment step to boost cell renewal. The visible result over the weeks is cleaner, more even-toned skin that is more receptive to treatment actives and, above all, healthier from the very first days of use.
