Cleansing Gel | Oily Sk

When the skin is oily or prone to acne, it’s not enough to remove excess sebum: it needs precise, consistent, and skin-respecting cleansing that purifies without harshness or a rebound effect. This gel turns into a soft foam that deeply cleans, helps regulate sebum secretion, and maintains the skin’s hydrolipid balance, leaving the face feeling fresh, comfortable, and ready to receive the subsequent treatments.

Its formula combines sebum-regulating, keratolytic, and soothing actives widely used in cosmetic dermatology, creating a hygiene ritual that cleanses pores, reduces shine, and helps prevent the formation of comedones and blemishes, while also preserving the health of the skin barrier.

Benefits for oily and acne-prone skin

This gel has been designed as the essential first step in targeted routines for oily, combination, or acne-prone skin, addressing the most common concerns for this skin type from the cleansing phase.

• Deep cleansing: the gel texture emulsifies into foam, effectively removing excess sebum, traces of makeup, and impurities accumulated on the surface and inside the pore.
• Sebum-regulating action: helps normalize sebum production, contributing to mattify the skin and reduce the feeling of persistent shine.
• Prevention of blemishes: the combination of salicylic acid and cleansing agents supports pore decongestion and helps prevent the appearance of comedones, acne breakouts, and small inflamed lesions.
• Respect for skin balance: cleans without excessively stripping essential lipids, avoiding tightness and imbalances that can trigger a rebound effect.
• Soothing and comforting effect: specific actives soften the skin and help reduce the sensation of irritation associated with many anti-acne routines.
• Fresh, purified finish: the presence of selected essential oils provides a lasting feeling of freshness and cleanliness, with no sticky sensation or greasy film.
• Non-comedogenic: it is formulated to not clog pores, integrating safely into skincare routines for problem skin.

Key actives and formula technology

The formula is built on a selection of ingredients recognized for the care of oily skin, working in synergy to deliver effective cleansing and a long-term treatment from the very first step of the routine.

Salicylic Acid

A benchmark, liposoluble beta hydroxy acid for oily, acne-prone skin. It penetrates the fatty phase of the pore, helping to dissolve excess sebum and dead cells that promote clogging. Its keratolytic action contributes to improving the renewal of the stratum corneum layer, softening the skin texture, and reducing the formation of blackheads and associated imperfections.

Zinc PCA

A zinc derivative with sebum-regulating and purifying properties. Helps modulate sebum production, limit the proliferation of microorganisms involved in acne-prone skin, and improve the overall appearance of shiny areas. Its action promotes a more matte finish and visibly more balanced skin.

Chlorhexidine digluconate

A widely used hygienizing agent in dermocosmetics, which helps maintain proper hygiene of the skin surface. Its presence reinforces the feeling of deep cleansing and supports routines designed to minimize the appearance of imperfections linked to bacterial proliferation.

Menthyl Lactate and essential oils of lemon and mint

This aromatic combination provides an immediate sensation of freshness, lightness, and prolonged cleanliness. Menthyl lactate offers a delicate, comfortable coolness, while the essential oils of lemon and mint accompany the purifying action, leaving the skin with a clean feel and a perception of clearer pores.

Allantoin

An active ingredient with well-known soothing and softening action, especially interesting for skin subjected to sebum-regulating treatments. It helps improve comfort, reduce the feeling of irritation, and promote a more uniform and healthy appearance.

Who is it especially intended for?

This cleansing and regulating gel is a strategic part of facial routines aimed at controlling sebum and imperfections.

• Oily skin with intense shine, enlarged pores, and an uneven texture.
• Combination skin with a congested T-zone and a tendency to the appearance of clogged pores and occasional breakouts.
• Acne-prone skin that needs an effective daily cleanser yet gentle enough to support specific topical treatments.
• Faces that seek hygiene beyond simple cleansing, integrating sebum-regulating action and prevention of imperfections from the very first step.

How to use

Consistency in cleansing is essential to optimize results for oily skin or skin prone to acne. Incorporated into a daily ritual, this gel becomes the essential starting point for the rest of the routine.

• Use morning and night on previously moistened facial skin, as a second step after a specific makeup remover in case of long-lasting makeup or high-coverage sunscreen filters.
• Dispense a small amount of gel into the palm of your hand and emulsify with water until a soft foam forms.
• Apply to the face using gentle circular motions, focusing on the forehead, nose, and chin, and avoiding the immediate eye contour.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the product is completely removed.
• Dry the face by gently patting with a clean towel, without rubbing, and continue with the toner and specific treatments for oily or acne-prone skin.
• In advanced routines, it is recommended to use it before treatments with salicylic acid, niacinamide, retinoids, or other regulating actives, to maximize its effectiveness.
