Powered by oil-regulating and soothing ingredients, this dermatologist-tested cleanser helps reduce shine, calm visible irritation, and leave skin feeling clean, fresh, and comfortably balanced after every wash.

Key ingredients
Thermal Spring Water
From French city La Roche Posay. Contains soothing minerals like selenium that decrease inflammation.
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil
Castor oil, derived from Ricinus communis seeds, is an occlusive ingredient rich in unsaturated fatty acids, with about 90% being ricinoleic acid, which provides potent anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. It also contains oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids, contributing to its emollient, moisturizing, and mildly comedogenic properties. Castor oil has antioxidant and antimicrobial abilities, making it popular in acne treatments, though its mild comedogenicity may clog pores if not used properly in your skin care routine. It can increase the penetration of other skin care ingredients in the skin care routine.
