Dr. Loretta
Gentle Hydrating Cleanser (100ml)
About
The Gentle Hydrating Cleanser is a dermatologist-formulated daily face cleanser that removes dirt, makeup, pollution, and impurities while preserving the skin’s natural moisture. It’s ideal for clients with dry, sensitive or easily irritated skin — or anyone who wants a reliable, barrier-safe cleanse that doesn’t strip the skin.
What It Is
This is a sulfate-free, gentle gel-to-cream cleanser built to clean your skin effectively yet softly. It uses mild surfactants, humectants, and botanical extracts to lift away impurities while maintaining hydration, instead of leaving skin tight or stripped.
Key Benefits
-
Gentle but effective cleansing — removes makeup, pollution, residual SPF, dirt, and surface debris without aggressing the skin barrier.
-
Maintains hydration & support barrier health — humectants and soothing components help skin retain moisture and prevent dryness or tightness post-wash.
-
Soothes redness / reduces irritation — botanical oils and extracts help calm sensitive or reactive skin, leaving complexion comfortable after cleansing.
-
Preps skin for treatment and product absorption — by cleansing without stripping, skin is left balanced and ready to absorb serums, moisturizers, and treatments effectively. (Good preparatory step for a routine including actives.)
-
Suitable for all skin types — especially dry, sensitive, or compromised skin — thanks to its gentle formulation and barrier-respecting ingredients.
Key Ingredients
| Ingredient | Function / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Mild surfactants (e.g. Sodium Cocoyl Wheat Amino Acids, Cocamidopropyl Betaine) | Gently lift dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities without harsh stripping or sulfate-induced dryness. |
| Glycerin | A humectant that attracts and retains moisture, helping skin stay hydrated and soft after cleansing. |
| Marine Peptides / Hydrolyzed Algin / Red Algae Extract | Provide nourishing and conditioning properties, support skin comfort post-cleanse, and may contribute antioxidants and barrier support. |
| Botanical Soothers (e.g. Chamomile Flower Oil, Ginger Root Oil) | Calm irritation, soothe redness or sensitivity, and add gentle antioxidant or anti-inflammatory support for sensitive or reactive skin. |
Why It Stands Out
Dr. Loretta’s Gentle Hydrating Cleanser stands out because it combines effective cleansing with barrier respect and hydration — rather than the “clean and strip” approach many face washes use. It’s sulfate-free, uses mild surfactants, and includes humectants and botanical soothing agents to prevent dryness, redness, and irritation.
