Facial Cleansers

Is a facial wash the same as a cleanser?

Not exactly. While both are used to clean the skin, a facial cleanser is typically gentler and more nourishing. It’s designed to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping the skin. A facial wash may be more foaming or intense, which can sometimes disrupt sensitive skin. Our collection of facial cleansers includes gel, balm, and micellar options suitable for all skin types.

Do you wash off cleanser?

Most cleansers are designed to be rinsed off with water. However, our Micellar Cleansing Treatment offers a rinse-free option that removes impurities and makeup without disrupting the skin barrier. If you sometimes prefer a deeper cleanse or wear heavier makeup, you can learn more about the double cleansing method here: What Is Double Cleansing and Do You Really Need to Do It?

What is cleanser used for?

A facial cleanser removes dirt, oil, makeup, and environmental pollutants from the skin. It preps the skin for serums and moisturisers, helping improve absorption and effectiveness. Choosing the right cleanser supports healthy skin and prevents clogged pores and breakouts.

Should I wash my face in the morning?

Yes. Cleansing in the morning helps remove overnight oil, sweat, and any residue from nighttime products. A gentle morning cleanse with a Perricone MD face cleanser refreshes the skin and creates a clean base for your daytime skincare routine.
