Unlike many generic drugstore washes, this is dermatologist-recommended, hypoallergenic, and free of common irritants, making it a more thoughtful gift.

Wet your face with lukewarm water, dispense a small amount of the foaming gel into your hands, massage gently onto your skin, and rinse thoroughly. Use morning and evening for best results.
How often should I use this face wash each day?
It is designed for twice-daily use, once in the morning and once at night, on sensitive, combination-to-oily skin.
