Product Musts: Cleansers

Cleansing isn’t one size fits all. Skin has different needs at different times: acne flares, post-procedure sensitivity, hormonal shifts, seasonal dryness. Having a range of cleansers with different actives and delivery systems allows you to meet your skin where it is each day. Alpha and beta hydroxy acids decongest and smooth, antioxidants calm inflammation, and enzyme-based or micro-exfoliating formulas refine without stripping. Rotating between them keeps the barrier strong, the microbiome balanced, and your skin responsive to treatment. It is the dermatologist’s version of skin cross-training.
