What Dr. Baumann Says
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream safe for
sensitive skin?
Yes, this product is designed specifically for sensitive,reactive, rosacea-prone, or post-procedure skin. Its barrier-safe formula
soothes irritation without causing dryness and can be used even if your skin is stinging, red, breaking out, or if you have retinoid dermatitis. However, it
does contain Phenoxyethanol, which may irritate very reactive skin, and it should be avoided if you are allergic to soy (glycine soja sterol).
Can this cleanser be used after cosmetic treatments like laser or microneedling?
Yes, Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream is ideal for
post-procedure skin. Its gentle, non-ionic surfactants soothe and hydrate
without disrupting the skin barrier, reducing irritation and promoting healing
after treatments like laser or microneedling. The non-foaming formula ensures
that your skin remains calm and moisturized during the recovery process.
How does Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream differ from the Alastin Gentle
Cleanser?
The main difference lies in their surfactants and textures.
The Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream uses non-ionic surfactants, which are much
gentler and provide a creamy, milky lather that leaves a moisturizing finish.
This makes it more suited for dry or sensitive, inflamed, reactive skin. In
contrast, the Gentle Cleanser contains an anionic surfactant (Sodium C14-16
Olefin Sulfonate) and an amphoteric surfactant (Cocamidopropyl Betaine), which
foam more and provide a deeper cleanse, leaving a light, clean finish. The
Gentle Cleanser is better for oily skin types but can be more drying compared
to the Ultra Calm formula.
Does Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream clog pores?
No, it’s non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. Its
gentle ingredients, like glycerin and beta-glucan, make it safe for acne-prone
and sensitive skin, offering effective cleansing without risking breakouts.
Does it remove makeup well?
Yes, Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream is effective at
removing makeup, including sunscreen and mascara, without stripping the skin of
its natural oils. However, the Alastin Gentle Cleanser or the Pavise Gentle
Amino Powerwash, ISDIN Essential Cleansing Oil, and CeraVe Makeup Removing
Cleansing Balm are better at removing makeup than the Alastin Ultra Calm
Cleansing Cream.
Is Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream good for rosacea?
Yes, this cleanser is highly recommended for rosacea-prone
skin. Its calming ingredients, such as oat protein and licorice root extract,
help soothe redness and irritation, making it ideal for those with rosacea who
need a gentle, non-irritating cleanser that will not sting nor cause a rosacea
flare.
Is this calming face wash suitable for everyday use?
Definitely. Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream is formulated
for daily or twice daily use, providing a soothing, hydrating cleanse that
supports the skin’s barrier without over-stripping moisture. It’s perfect for
those with sensitive or reactive skin.Can I use this cleanser if my skin is irritated from retinol?
Yes, Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream is suitable for irritated skin,
including irritation from retinoid dermatitis (a condition caused by retinol or
retinoid use). Its calming and hydrating ingredients, like panthenol and oat
protein, can help soothe redness and discomfort. While it doesn’t directly
treat retinoid irritation, it’s gentle enough to be tolerated by sensitive,
reactive skin, making it an excellent option for those experiencing retinoid
side effects.
Does Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream foam?
No, it’s a non-foaming cleanser. Instead, it produces a
milky lather that gently cleanses without foam, offering a more hydrating and
soothing experience, particularly suited for dry and sensitive skin.
Is it oil-free?
Yes, Alastin Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream is oil-free, making
it an excellent choice for those who prefer to avoid oils in their skincare
routines, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
