Oriva Scientific Assessment
This cleanser works by using mild cleansing agents and emollients to effectively remove dirt, oil, and makeup without disrupting the skin's natural pH or stripping away essential moisture. Its non-foaming, creamy texture ensures a gentle cleanse, leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
Target User: Ideal for individuals with normal, dry, combination, or sensitive skin who need a gentle, non-irritating cleanser for daily use. It's particularly suitable for those prone to dryness, redness, or a compromised skin barrier, and can be used by all ages.
Avoid If: Those with very oily skin who prefer a stronger, foaming cleanse might find it too mild. Individuals with known allergies or sensitivities to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or parabens should also consider alternative cleansers, or opt for newer formulations of Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser available in some regions that are free of these ingredients.
Avoid / caution
- individuals with known sensitivity to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or parabens
- those who prefer a strong foaming action
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
