Face Wash & Cleansers

How to Choose a Face Wash for Your Skin

A good face cleanser should leave your face clean and comfortable, never squeaky or tight. In the UAE that balance is harder than it sounds: heat and sunscreen call for a proper clean, while air-conditioning dries skin out between washes. Match the face wash to how your skin behaves by the afternoon:

• Dry, tight or sensitive skin: choose the mildest, most moisturizing cleanser you can find. Our amino acid cleanser uses gentle amino-acid-based cleansing agents with glycerin, betaine and allantoin, and has no fragrance or sulphates.
• Oily or breakout-prone skin: a gel wash that removes oil without stripping. Our turmeric face wash combines turmeric, tea tree oil, aloe and a little hyaluronic acid. It is a daily wash, not an acne treatment.
• Normal or oily skin that wants a deep clean: the Beauty Face Wash gives a rich foam that lifts heavy sunscreen and sweat. It contains strong foaming agents (SLS) and fragrance, so it is not the one for dry or sensitive skin. Many men like it after the gym or a long day outdoors.
• Combination skin: the amino acid cleanser in the morning, the turmeric wash at night, or whichever suits the season. See our combination skin page for the full routine.

Our Three Cleansers at a Glance

Amino Acid Gentle Bubble Cleanser (100 ml): the softest of the three. A soft foaming cleanser that rinses clean, with honey extract and camellia flower extract. Fragrance-free and sulphate-free, a good first choice if you are unsure.

Turmeric Face Wash (100 ml): a gel cleanser for oily and combination skin. No sulphates and no added perfume; tea tree oil gives it a natural herbal scent, so patch test if you react to essential oils.

Beauty Face Wash (60 ml): the deepest clean, with a rich lather and a fresh fragrance. Best for oily or normal skin, used once a day.

How to Use a Face Wash

Wet your face with lukewarm water, never hot. Work a small amount of cleanser between your hands, massage it over the face for 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse well and pat dry with a clean towel. Wash morning and night, and after heavy sweating. Follow straight away with serum and moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp. Washing three or four times a day usually makes oily skin worse, because the skin answers dryness with more oil.

Face Wash Questions We Get Asked

Which face wash is best for my skin type?

Dry or sensitive skin: the Amino Acid Gentle Bubble Cleanser. Oily or acne-prone skin: the Turmeric Face Wash. Normal or oily skin that needs a stronger clean: the Beauty Face Wash. If you are between two, choose the gentler one.

Is there a face wash for women and one for men?

Skin doesn't really care about gender. All three cleansers are unisex. Men with oily skin often prefer the Beauty Face Wash, and women with dry skin usually prefer the amino acid cleanser, but it is skin type, not gender, that decides.

Are your cleansers sulphate-free, alcohol-free and fragrance-free?

The Amino Acid Gentle Bubble Cleanser has no sulphates, no fragrance and no drying alcohol. The Turmeric Face Wash has no sulphates and no added perfume. The Beauty Face Wash contains SLS and fragrance. Full ingredient lists are on each product page.

Is a "medical" face wash better?

Our cleansers are cosmetics, not medicines. A cleanser stays on the skin for under a minute, so its main job is to clean without irritating. If you have severe acne, eczema or rosacea, ask a doctor which wash to use alongside your treatment.

Do you have a face wash with salicylic acid (BHA)?

No, none of our three cleansers contains salicylic acid. For blackheads, a leave-on BHA works better than a wash that is rinsed off. Our guide to salicylic acid explains how to use it.

Can a face wash remove dark spots?

Not really. A cleanser is rinsed away too quickly to fade pigmentation. Clean skin helps your serum work, but for marks look at our dark spot products and daily sunscreen.

Do I need to double cleanse after sunscreen?

For everyday sunscreen, one thorough wash at night is usually enough; massage for a full minute. If you wear waterproof sunscreen or heavy makeup, remove it first with a cleansing balm or micellar water, then use your face wash.

Are your face washes natural or organic?

They contain plant extracts such as turmeric, aloe, honey and camellia, but none of them is certified natural, organic or vegan (the amino acid cleanser contains honey extract).
