Any questions?
Our experts have the answer
Our face cleansers help skin become balanced, purified, and ready for subsequent treatments.

Why should I use a facial cleanser?
Clarins’ range of facial cleansers is formulated to help maintain the skin's natural balance, preventing the build-up of oils and debris that can lead to breakouts and redness. Try double cleansing by using an oil-based cleanser, such as a cleansing oil, first, followed by a water-based cleanser to ensure all makeup and dirt are removed.
Are facial cleansers and face wash the same?
What facial cleanser should I use?
- For Oily/Combination Skin: Look for a purifying foaming face wash or gel cleanser that helps regulate sebum and minimise shine without stripping the skin. Try our Purifying Gentle Foaming Cleanser or My Clarins RE-MOVE Purifying Cleansing Gel, which offers a pristine cleanse, perfect for both morning and evening routines.
- For Dry/Sensitive Skin: Opt for a comforting cleansing milk or a rich cream cleanser that cleanses while helping to maintain the skin’s hydration barrier. You might prefer Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk, which glides over your skin. Its formula is enriched with the Clarins [Gentle Complex] with organic yellow gentian and lemon balm extracts to soothe and soften the skin. The Soothing Gentle Foaming Cleanser is also another great choice, which removes makeup, soothes dry skin, and rids it of impurities while maintaining a balanced complexion.
- All Skin Types: Micellar water is an excellent, gentle choice for a quick cleanse, especially in the morning, or as a pre-cleanse step to remove makeup. A two-in-one cleanser and exfoliator toner like Clarins’ One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with Orange Extract purifies your skin while enhancing its natural softness and glow, preparing you for a radiant start the next day.
What is Micellar Water, and is it a complete cleanser?
After using Cleansing Micellar Water to remove makeup and dirt, we recommend using a foaming cleanser like Hydrating Gentle Cleanser to eliminate remaining impurities while maintaining a balanced complexion.
Do you apply cleanser to wet or dry skin?
Oil-based products like Total Cleansing Oil need to be warmed and applied to dry skin to remove make-up and impurities.
