Love this cleanser!

"I began using this to help my acne and I’ve since re-bought and subscribed. It has a tingling feel, a refreshing peppermint smell and it suds up nicely. I genuinely look forward to using this everyday and it has helped my hormonal breakouts immensely."

Perfect Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin!

"I love this cleanser for my oily/acne prone skin. It suds up really well, and I feel it cleansing my skin. It does not overstrip my skin and dry it out. It is an amazing part of my daily routine!"

Melissa (5/5)

Buy it!!

"Will never use another face wash - this one is the best!! I struggle with either oily skin or dry skin and this face wash keeps my skin balanced and has completely cleared up my acne. Highly recommend!!"

Kelly (5/5)

Gentle and effective

"This is amazing! The cooling feeling is amazing. It is gentle and also effective! I started with breakouts on my forehead and dermatitis on my chin. I was nervous to try something new. I’ve never struggled with acne or breakouts really, but recently I have and this has been amazing. I don’t need much to wash my face and it feels amazing. My redness and breakouts have calmed a lot."

Amanda S. (5/5)

"My hisband loves this!"

MARTHA (5/5)

Hormonal acne

"This face wash has been a life saver! I needed something that would help my face fast after I had my first daughter 5 years ago. My hormonal acne was out of control and nothing was helping. Once I started a routine with Bareface my complexion became SO much better! It took some time and patience but it’s paid off! This is the only face wash I use and I won’t be changing anytime soon!"

Westley-Ann (5/5)

Q&A

Is this product safe during pregnancy?
Hi Lauren! Thank you for reaching out! All of our products are considered pregnancy friendly except for the Glow Peel Pads and RetinAL Skin (RST). Retinoids (found in RetinAL Skin Therapy) and glycolic acid (found in Glow Peel Pads) are poorly absorbed after topical application, and therefore considered a low risk to the nursing infant. We always recommend consulting with your OB prior to use! You can shop all of our pregnancy/nursing friendly products, here and we have a great blog post you can checkout too, Skincare During Pregnancy and Skincare While Breastfeeding. Please email us at hello@barefaced.com with any additional questions, we're happy to help!
I purchased this product in hopes to help my acne. But after reading the ingredient list I’m feel skeptical as I see it contains 2 sulfates which actually strip the good oils from skin and can CAUSE acne. Jordans thoughts?
Hi Danielle! Thank you for your question! Both of the sulfates found in the CLENZIderm Foaming Cleanser are surfactants which are used in a lot of different products. They help reduce surface tension and helps the product to foam nicely. The combination of the surfactants in this cleanser are very effective at treating breakout prone skin while still having moisturizing ingredients to combat dryness and stripping. We still recommend using a hydrating moisturizer daily. Please reach out to us if you have any other questions, we're happy to help!
Can you use this with liquid gold and overachiever?
Hi Stephanie, Thank you for reaching out to us! You can use the Clenziderm Foaming Cleanser with the Liquid Gold and Overachiever. When first introducing products into your routine we recommend doing so gradually. Start using the product 3x per week on alternating days. Do this for 2 weeks. If your skin is tolerating the product well, with limited to no reaction, increase to 4x per week. Do this for 2 weeks. Follow this method, increasing usage up to 5-7x per week if desired. Our primary tip: Slow and steady wins the race! Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@barefaced.com with any additional questions, we're happy to help!
Is this safe for teenagers to use? Does this products ingredients make our skin more sensitive to sun?
Hi Tari! Thank you for reaching out. We are unable to conduct a Skincare Consult with anyone under the age of 18. We have had some success with teens using Toning Pads and this cleanser a few days a week, but we do recommend your son/daughter consults with a dermatologist. For additional questions please email hello@barefaced.com.
Is this OK / gentle enough to use with dapsone gel and tretinoin?
Clenziderm Foaming Cleanser can cause initial dryness; therefore, we recommend starting the product three mornings a week on alternating mornings and gradually increase as tolerated. We recommend consulting with your prescribing physician to determine if they are okay with you using this product in addition to prescription strength topicals.
