Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser

Face Reality Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser is a rich, hydrating cream cleanser built to support and strengthen compromised skin barriers while keeping breakout-prone skin clean and calm. Rather than stripping skin the way many acne-focused cleansers do, this formula uses sodium stearoyl glutamate, an amino acid-based cleansing agent, to dissolve dirt, oil, and makeup without disrupting moisture levels. The result is skin that feels genuinely clean, comfortable, and ready to absorb what comes next.

Key Benefits

Gentle, Thorough Cleansing Without Stripping Sodium stearoyl glutamate, an amino acid-derived surfactant, lifts away impurities while preserving the skin's natural moisture so skin never feels tight or dry after washing.

Visible Barrier Repair and Hydration Hydrolyzed jojoba esters and panthenol work together to replenish lipids and lock in moisture, helping rebuild a resilient, well-hydrated skin barrier over time.

Calming Relief for Irritated, Reactive Skin Centella asiatica, bisabolol, and allantoin reduce redness and reactiveness on contact, making this cleanser especially helpful if benzoyl peroxide or other acne treatments are causing dryness or sensitivity.

Healthy Microbiome Support Natural prebiotic inulin and alpha-glucan oligosaccharide feed beneficial skin bacteria, promoting a balanced microbiome that helps skin stay clear and less reactive.

Long-Lasting Moisture Retention Saccharide isomerate binds to the skin's surface to deliver sustained hydration that doesn't wash away, while glycerin draws additional moisture into the upper layers of skin.
