Cleanse without compromise — especially when you're clearing acne. One of the most overlooked steps in any acne clearing protocol is the cleanser — and most acne cleansers get it completely wrong. Harsh, stripping formulas disrupt the skin barrier and microbiome, triggering more oil production, more sensitivity, and ultimately more breakouts. The Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser takes the opposite approach — a gentle, indulgent creamy formula that thoroughly cleanses while simultaneously supporting the very things your skin needs to achieve and maintain lasting clarity.
Clean skin. Calm skin. Clear skin. In that order.
Key Actives & What They Do:
-
Amino Acid Cleansing Agent — a skin-respectful cleansing system that sweeps away dirt, oil, everyday makeup, and impurities without drying or disrupting the skin barrier — leaving skin genuinely clean without the tight, stripped feeling that triggers reactive oil production
-
Prebiotics — supports and maintains a healthy, balanced skin microbiome — the living ecosystem of beneficial bacteria that plays a critical role in keeping acne-prone skin clear, calm, and resilient
-
Bisabolol — a soothing botanical derived from chamomile that calms redness, reduces inflammation, and keeps reactive skin comfortable throughout the cleansing process
-
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — a deeply moisturizing active that strengthens the skin barrier and leaves skin feeling soft, conditioned, and hydrated after every wash
-
Centella Asiatica (Cica) — the gold standard of skin calming, reducing inflammation, supporting barrier repair, and promoting overall skin healing and resilience
-
Jojoba — a skin-identical oil that nourishes and conditions without clogging pores, supporting barrier health while keeping skin balanced and comfortable
Key Benefits:

6 oz
Best For: Acne-prone, sensitized, or barrier-compromised skin — and anyone on an active acne clearing protocol who needs a cleanser that supports rather than sabotages their skin's ability to clear and stay clear
✨ Pro tip: The microbiome-supporting prebiotics in this cleanser make it especially important not to rush the cleanse — work it into the skin for at least 30 seconds before rinsing to give the barrier-supporting ingredients time to do their job. Your clearing protocol is only as strong as the foundation you build it on.
