iS Clinical Cream Cleanser | Moisturising Cream Cleanser | 120ml

Product Overview - iS Clinical Cream Cleanser. A cream cleanser for skin that finds foaming washes leave it tight. Rather than surfactants doing all the work, iS Clinical build this one around emollients — Safflower Seed Oil (6%), Coconut Oil (2%), Squalane and Glycerin — so make-up and SPF lift away while the skin's own lipids largely stay put. It suits dry, normal, sensitive and combination skin, and is a common choice after in-clinic treatments. Unusually, it works with or without water.. Key Benefits at a Glance:. Immediate Benefits:. Removes make-up, SPF and the day's build-up without the tight, squeaky finish. Leaves skin comfortable enough that a heavy moisturiser often isn't needed straight after. Mild enough around the eyes to take eye make-up off in the same step. Can be wiped away with a cloth when rinsing isn't practical — travel, illness, immediately post-procedure. No fragrance in the formula, so nothing to sting reactive skin. Long-Term Benefits:. Cleansing is the step most likely to quietly undermine everything applied after it. A cleanser that strips lipids twice a day leaves the barrier playing catch-up, which shows up as tightness, flaking and reactivity to actives that were previously fine. Used consistently, a lipid-replenishing cleanser removes that daily setback — most people find their skin tolerates retinoids and acids more comfortably within a few weeks, simply because it isn't being stripped first.. How will it feel on my Skin?. Thick, white and genuinely creamy — closer to a light moisturiser than a wash. It doesn't foam, which catches people out at first: there's no lather to tell you it's working, so give it a slow minute over dry or damp skin. Rinsed off with lukewarm water it leaves no film. Wiped off with a flannel it leaves a very light emollient veil, which is what makes it comfortable for tight, post-treatment skin. Non-greasy either way, and it doesn't interfere with what goes on next.. Who is it Suitable For?. Dry, dehydrated, rough or flaking skin. Sensitive and reactive skin, including rosacea-prone. Skin recovering from peels, microneedling or laser, where anything foaming feels harsh. Anyone using retinoids or acids whose skin has become easily irritated. Normal and combination skin that simply prefers a cream texture. Less suited to: oily or congested skin that wants a deeper clean — the gel Cleansing Complex in the same range is the better fit. Also worth avoiding if you react to coconut derivatives, and note the formula contains dimethicone and PEG/Ceteareth emulsifiers if you prefer to avoid silicones.. Why choose iS Clinical Cream Cleanser?. Within the iS Clinical range this is the gentle option: Cleansing Complex is the gel that suits oilier, congested skin, and this is its counterpart for skin that's dry, sensitive or temporarily compromised. The no-water option is the genuinely unusual part — few cleansers at this level are formulated to be wiped away, which is why it turns up so often in post-treatment aftercare and in travel bags.
