Highlights
Suitable for
All skin types, including dry, mature, sensitive, blemish-prone, combination, and normal.
Why we stand behind it
This lightly foaming daily cleanser removes dirt and excess oil and preps the skin for a close, comfortable shave. Willow bark penetrates deeply to soften hair follicles, while lactic acid exfoliates to counteract congestion and dull texture. The result is deep cleansing and smooth shaving without stripping or drying the skin.
Key ingredients
Lactic acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates while increasing the production of natural ceramides to hold in moisture.
Pro-vitamin B5: Promotes wound healing, helps restore damaged epithelium, reduces itching and inflammation, improves skin hydration, reduces transepidermal water loss and improves rough texture.
Algae extract: Micronutrients and trace minerals soothe the skin and nourish the root of the hair follicle.
Cocamidoprophyl hydroxysultaine: An amphoteric surfactant that increases viscosity without irritating skin.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.
