Glucoside Foaming Cleanser

Product Overview

Experience a deep yet delicate clean with The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser. This innovative gel-like formula transforms into a soft, airy foam that effectively lifts away dirt and environmental impurities without compromising your skin's vital moisture barrier. Formulated with plant-derived surfactants, this cleanser is so gentle it has been clinically proven suitable for babies, making it the ultimate choice for those with delicate or reactive skin. Beyond simple cleansing, it works over time to improve the look of skin clarity, texture, and radiance, leaving your face feeling supple and refreshed.

Key Benefits

• Gentle Foaming Action: Effectively removes dirt and pollutants with a soft, non-stripping foam.
• Barrier-Respecting: Clinically designed to maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier during the wash.
• Improves Skin Clarity: Regular use leads to a clearer-looking complexion and reduced visible congestion.
• Enhances Radiance: Leaves skin looking bright and luminous rather than dull or "flat" after cleansing.
• Refines Skin Texture: Helps smooth out textural irregularities for a softer, more uniform skin feel.
• Baby-Safe Formula: Proven gentle enough for even the most delicate skin, including infants.
• Plant-Derived Surfactants: Utilizes high-quality Decyl Glucoside and Coco-Glucoside for a natural clean.
• Non-Stripping: Maintains skin suppleness, ensuring your face never feels "tight" or dry post-wash.
• Oily Skin Optimized: While gentle, it is exceptionally effective at managing excess sebum for oily-prone types.
• Dermatologically Tested: Formulated at a skin-friendly pH to ensure maximum compatibility.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• Decyl Glucoside & Coco-Glucoside: These are non-ionic, plant-derived surfactants known for their exceptional mildness and biodegradability. Unlike harsh sulfates, these glucosides effectively emulsify oils and lift debris while maintaining the integrity of the skin's lipid layer. They provide a satisfying foam without the irritation or "squeaky clean" stripping effect common in traditional foaming washes.

FAQ

Q: Is this better for oily skin than the Squalane Cleanser?
A: Oily skin types often prefer the Glucoside Foaming Cleanser because of its water-based, foaming action which helps remove excess sebum more effectively than a balm-to-oil cleanser.

Q: Can I use this for my baby?
A: Yes! This product has been clinically tested and proven suitable for babies, making it a very safe choice for infant skin care.

Q: Does it remove heavy makeup?
A: It is effective at removing daily light makeup and impurities. For heavy or waterproof makeup, we recommend a double-cleanse starting with our Squalane Cleanser or Glycolipid Cream Cleanser.
