I learned early on in my skin-care journey that your cleanser really makes a difference. It’s my first step after brushing my teeth in the morning and ideally, it’s my last step at night. However, I have to admit, there have been days when I’ve gone to bed with my makeup on—cardinal makeup sin number-one, I know. When you have sensitive skin, washing your face can be a recipe for disaster, but I finally found an answer.

I was recently introduced to the perfect take-everything-off-in-one-go cleanser: SkinFix’s Barrier+ Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser. It has made me much more consistent in my skin-care routine. Not only is it a pleasure to wash everything off in one go, including mascara and eyeliner, but it also feels amazing on my skin, almost like I’m getting the benefits of a serum.

Highly Hydrating

As someone with really dry skin, I need a cleanser that’s powerful enough to remove everything while still being moisturizing. After trying countless cleansers that either stripped my skin or barely removed makeup, I can confidently say this one is a game-changer. When I say it removes “everything,” I mean everything. It takes off SPF, primer, foundation, eye makeup and the remains of the day without stripping my skin of its natural oils.

I’ve been using it all spring and saw its wonders early on—it’s now an essential part of my daily routine. I can’t imagine my skin-care regimen without it. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. It genuinely brings me joy to see how clean and refreshed my skin looks and feels. Trust me, you’ll feel the same.

The Ingredients

To elevate the formula beyond simple cleansing, SkinFix has incorporated a patented B-L3 Complex that helps repair the skin’s moisture barrier. Ectoin, a natural lipid binder, helps preserve the skin’s essential oils, while polyglutamic acid, a hydration superstar, gives hyaluronic acid a run for its money by keeping your skin moisturized four times longer. And for sensitive skin types like mine, the addition of chamomile extract calms any post-cleanse sensitivity.

How to Use It

One squeeze of this formula is all you need twice a day to start and end the day with cleaner, healthier-looking skin. It’s helped me break my cleansing-wipe addiction, which was the only way I thought I could get all of my makeup off. Now, I don’t have to feel guilty anymore or use three or four products to both remove my makeup and give my skin a fresh, clean feel. Most importantly, I’m staying consistent with washing off my makeup before bed, which is a miracle in and of itself.
