The Gentle Cleanser

The Gentle Cleanser is a next-generation facial cleanser, formulated as a cosmeceutical treatment that deeply respects the skin's physiology. It cleanses without stripping or aggravating, preserving the integrity of the skin barrier, the balance of the microbiome and essential hydration. Its sensory texture and clinical approach make it the essential first step of any advanced skincare ritual, especially for sensitive, reactive skin or skin undergoing intensive treatments.

Designed to support skin affected by inflammation, redness, acne, rosacea, dermatitis, psoriasis or eczema, The Gentle Cleanser is equally effective and comfortable on dry, combination or oily skin, as well as photoaged or mature skin. A cleanser that goes beyond basic hygiene: it rebalances, strengthens and prepares the skin to receive the rest of the active ingredients in your routine.

Key benefits

• Effective cleansing without a harsh detergent effect: removes impurities, sweat, sebum residue and pollution while respecting the skin's physiological pH and hydrolipidic film.
• Preserves and reinforces the skin barrier: supports epidermal lipids and reduces transepidermal water loss, improving the feeling of comfort.
• Microbiome balance: fosters a stable skin environment, more resistant to irritation and inflammation.
• High tolerance: carefully selected formula for sensitive, reactive skin or skin prone to inflammatory dermatoses.
• Optimal skin preparation: improves receptiveness to subsequent treatments, boosting the penetration and effectiveness of topical actives.
• Clinically evaluated results after 8 weeks: decrease in impurities, improved barrier function, reduction of visible pores, sebum regulation and a notable increase in radiance.

How it works on the skin

Each cleanse with The Gentle Cleanser is designed as an act of restoration. Its gentle surfactant system emulsifies and removes dirt, grease and product residue without disrupting the stratum corneum. At the same time, it incorporates treatment actives uncommon in a cleanser, which act on hydration, inflammation, elasticity and protection against the environment, transforming a daily step into a high-performance treatment.

The result is clean, supple, calmed skin, with less tightness, better texture and a greater capacity to defend against daily aggressors (climate, UV radiation, temperature changes, pollution or continuous makeup use).

Star ingredients

Active Water from Mediterranean citrus

The water base of the formula becomes an active ingredient in itself here. Instead of using inert demineralised or distilled water, The Gentle Cleanser incorporates active water from the upcycling of inedible parts of Mediterranean citrus fruits, such as red orange. This microbiologically pure water provides:

• Protection against oxidation, UV rays and environmental pollution.
• Anti-inflammatory action that helps soothe redness and irritation.
• Formation of a protective film that reinforces the skin barrier.
• Biocompatible salts that promote the absorption and bioavailability of the other ingredients.

Biomimetic hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a key molecule in skin hydration, capable of retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water. The formula incorporates a biomimetic form, in a spectrum of molecular sizes that mimics what the skin naturally produces:

• The larger molecules act on the surface, providing immediate hydration and a smoothing effect.
• The smaller ones penetrate more deeply, contributing to longer-lasting hydration.
• Reinforces the skin barrier and improves elasticity and softness.
• Promotes the synthesis of collagen and elastin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ectoin from advanced biotechnology

Ectoin is an amino acid derivative discovered in microorganisms capable of surviving in extreme desert conditions. In cosmetics, it acts as a powerful cellular shield:

• Helps restore skin homeostasis and strengthen microbiota defences against environmental stress (radiation, wind, sudden temperature changes, pollution).
• Promotes the synthesis of peptides that reinforce the skin's structure and resilience.
• Increases cellular viability and the efficiency of skin cell metabolism.
• Improves skin texture and elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The ectoin used comes from biotechnological fermentation of a non-genetically-modified bacterial strain and is carefully characterised from a chemical and biological standpoint, ensuring purity and reproducibility.

Biomimetic triglycerides of plant origin

The triglycerides present in the formula replicate the properties of the skin's natural lipids:

• They serve as an energy source for skin cells, supporting their basic functions.
• They help preserve the protective barrier, reducing irritation and redness thanks to their anti-inflammatory action.
• They take part in forming the lipids that keep skin hydrated, preventing water loss.
• They improve the spreadability and sensoriality of the formula, enabling a smooth, enveloping and comfortable application.

These triglycerides are sourced exclusively from non-genetically-modified (non-GMO) Italian olives, through purification, extraction and isolation processes that reduce the carbon footprint and ensure high biocompatibility.

Texture, sensoriality and skin type

The Gentle Cleanser has a creamy, enveloping texture that blends with damp skin to offer a gentle, effective massage. It is suitable for:

• Sensitive, reactive skin or skin prone to redness.
• Skin with acne, rosacea, dermatitis, psoriasis or eczema (as cosmetic support within a comprehensive strategy).
• Dry, normal, combination or oily skin seeking effective cleansing without a feeling of tightness.
• Photoaged or mature skin that requires formulas respectful of the skin barrier.

How to use

Use morning and night as the first step of your facial routine:

• Lightly dampen the skin of the face and neck.
• Apply an amount equivalent to the size of a small coin to the palm of your hand.
• Gently massage over the face and neck using circular movements, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• Rinse off with plenty of lukewarm water.

It can be used alone as a daily cleanser or integrated into broader protocols with advanced systemic and topical treatments to maximise results on skin with specific needs.

Notable clinical results

In 8-week clinical studies conducted following recognised cosmetic methodologies and standardised procedures, significant improvements were observed in key parameters:

• Reduction of skin impurities.
• Improved barrier function and capacity to defend against external aggressors.
• Decrease in pore size and visibility.
• Sebum balance, with better regulated, more even skin.
• Notable increase in radiance and a brighter complexion.
