FAQs

Why are amino acids included in a rinse-off cleanser?
+

It is an unusual and considered formulation choice. Most rinse-off cleansers are formulated purely for removal — their purpose is to strip impurities, and they leave the skin depleted of some of its natural surface components in the process. Including 15 amino acids in a rinse-off product reflects a philosophy that even the preparatory, functional cleansing step should contribute positively to the skin's condition. Amino acids condition the skin surface during the washing process, their humectant properties support surface moisture retention, and the film they leave on the skin after rinsing — even a very thin one — improves the skin's receptivity for the serum that follows. The result is a cleanser that leaves the skin feeling measurably better as well as thoroughly clean.

Can I use this as my only evening cleanser without the balm?
+

Yes — the gelée can be used as a standalone cleanser for those who prefer a single-step approach or who do not wear heavy make-up or SPF on a given day. However, for those wearing full make-up and SPF, a water-based gel cleanser used alone may struggle to dissolve waterproof products without excessive rubbing, which creates friction on the skin. The double-cleanse approach — balm first, then gelée — provides both more thorough removal and a gentler overall experience on the skin. The gelée used as a standalone morning cleanser is entirely appropriate for most people's morning routine.

Does the Advanced Night Repair Complex in the cleanser actually benefit my skin if it's rinsed off?
+

The contact time of a rinse-off product is short compared to a leave-on serum, which limits the depth of active delivery. The inclusion of the ANR Complex in the cleanser is partly a practical formulation choice — maintaining the range's consistent active identity throughout all steps — and partly a recognition that even brief skin contact with skin-compatible actives can contribute to the surface's overall condition. The primary benefit of this cleanser, however, is the amino acid conditioning and the gentle surfactant cleansing rather than the ANR Complex delivery. The serum is where the ANR Complex works at its most potent and sustained.

Is this suitable for use around the eye area?
+

Please confirm from current product materials whether this gelée is suitable for use around the eye area. Most gel cleansers in luxury skincare routines are formulated for the face and neck rather than for eye make-up removal specifically. If not indicated for the eye area, use a dedicated eye make-up remover or the ANR Cleansing Balm on the eye area during the first-step cleanse, and use the gelée for the face and neck as the second step.
