What Dr. Baumann Says
Frequently Asked Questions
How many times a day can I use Alastin Gentle Cleanser?
If your skin is dry or sensitive do not use it more than 2 times a day. Oily, resistant types can
use it 3 times a day if necessary.
Is Alastin Gentle Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, this cleanser is designed for sensitive skin types, including those prone to rosacea. Its formula includes soothing ingredients
like oat extract, beta-glucan, panthenol, and bisabolol, which help reduce redness and calm irritation.
Will this cleanser dry out my skin?
No, the Alastin Gentle Cleanser is a little drying. It has moderate strength anionic and amphoteric surfactants that do strip oils from the skin. It contains glycerin and panthenol to help prevent dryness. If you have extremely dry skin, the Alastin Ultra Calm Cleanser or the Zerafite Creamy Cleanser are a better choice.
Is this cleanser effective for removing makeup?
While it removes light makeup, it may not fully eliminate heavy makeup or sunscreen due to its gentle nature and lack of strong surfactants. For better results, a double cleansing method or a makeup remover.
Does it foam well despite being sulfate-free?
It has a mild foam that does not damage the skin barrier.
What skin types can use Alastin Gentle Cleanser?
All 16 skin types can use this cleanser, but it is best for combination and oily skin types.
Why do dermatologists recommend Alastin Gentle Cleanser for Sensitive Skin?
The gentleness of this cleanser comes from soothing ingredients like avenanthramides found in oat extract, which help reduce inflammation, and beta-glucan, panthenol, and bisabolol, which calm irritatedskin. These ingredients calm inflammation while the mild detergence cleanse
without causing barrier damage. However, the Alastin Ultra Calm Cleanser is a better choice for sensitive skin.
If I’m allergic to flowers in the daisy family, will I be allergic to Alastin
Gentle Cleanser?
There is a possibility of an allergic reaction if you're
sensitive to chamomile or ragweed, as this cleanser contains bisabolol, which
is derived from chamomile. However, allergic reactions to bisabolol in
rinse-off products are rare.
Is Alastin Gentle Cleanser suitable for very oily skin?
This cleanser may not be the best option for very oily skin because it lacks strong surfactants that deeply cleanse excess oil. It is
designed more for gentle cleansing, so those with very oily skin may need a
stronger face wash that removes sebum.
Is Alastin Gentle Cleanser good for removing sunscreen?
This cleanser is not formulated to remove heavy sunscreen due to its mild surfactants and lack of oils. It's best to use it as part of a
double cleanse, following an oil-based cleanser to effectively remove SPF. See
our blog on How
to Wash off Sunscreen.
Is this a good cleanser for rosacea?
Yes, it’s an excellent choice for rosacea-prone skin, as it
contains soothing ingredients like oat extract, bisabolol, panthenol, and
beta-glucan. To avoid irritation, use lukewarm water and gently pat your skin
dry after cleansing.
Is this cleanser fragrance-free?
No, Alastin Gentle Cleanser is not fragrance-free. It
contains natural essential oils, including lavender oil and orange peel oil that contains limonene.
Are the preservatives Alastin Gentle Cleanser in safe to use?
Yes, the preservatives used, Phenoxyethanol and
Ethylhexylglycerin, are considered safe in rinse-off products. Phenoxyethanol
can cause irritation in leave-on products but is safe in cleansers.
Ethylhexylglycerin helps reduce the needed amount of Phenoxyethanol, further
minimizing irritation.
Is Alastin Gentle Cleanser safe to use in pregnancy?
Yes, there are no ingredients in this face wash that are
known to cause problems in pregnancy. Plus, this product should be washed off
after use.
How does Alastin Gentle Cleanser differ from Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing
Cream?
The Gentle Cleanser uses stronger surfactants like Sodium
C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine, which create a foaming gel
that removes makeup and sunscreen more effectively, making it better for oily
skin types. In contrast, the Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream uses gentler, non-ionic
surfactants, offering a milky, non-foaming texture that’s ideal for dry,
reactive, or post-procedure skin. Gentle Cleanser leaves skin feeling “squeaky
clean,” while Ultra Calm is more hydrating.
Is Alastin Gentle Cleanser suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes, it's non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, which makes it
safe for acne-prone skin. It thoroughly cleanses without clogging pores and
helps balance oil production.
Where can I buy Alastin Face Wash Online?
The best place to purchase Alastin Gentle Cleanser is from Skin
Type Solutions. This platform is widely trusted by dermatologists because it
maintains high standards for product storage and freshness, such as
air-conditioned warehouses and fast product turnover, ensuring you get the best
quality skincare.
