Why make another gentle cleanser?
Originally you guys asked me to make a larger size 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. I was going to stop there, but Eucerin ended up discontinuing my favorite moisturizer so I decided to also develop a moisturizer. I figured if I'm making two out of three parts of The Regimen I might as well also make a cleanser. Once I decided to make a cleanser, I chose to make it a liquid. Liquid cleansers are less drying and can more easily achieve pH balance. However, liquid cleansers never lathered enough for me. I like a nice lather with my cleanser. So I asked several chemists to help me make the impossible--a pH neutral liquid cleanser that lathers well. The final product was a mixture of a carefully combined ingredients which achieved an exact pH of 5.5. Since the pH of human skin is about 5.5, the result is a cleanser that leaves the skin in an even harmony without over drying or stripping the skin. And it lathers well! I was thrilled. I also made sure there were no perfumes or dyes. If you're looking for a colored or scented cleanser, this is not the one for you. Instead, it is as simple as possible--a neutral pH, a nice substantial feeling in the palm, a gratifying lather, and a clean rinse.
Does it take off makeup?
Yes, it works at removing foundation, powder and blush.
Jojoba oil
may be superior for removing mascara and eye makeup.
How do I use it to shave?
You can use Acne.org Cleanser to shave just as you would a shaving cream. Dispense into your palm--I like 3-4 pumps--and get a nice thick lather going. Apply as shave cream and off you go. See the
guide to shaving
for more detailed instructions.
Why is it so inexpensive?
My #1 goal is to make The Regimen accessible to everyone. That's why I decided to make large products at affordable prices. I can manage to price products affordably because you are ordering directly from me, and I do not advertise.
How many do I need per month?
If you use the cleanser to shave : two 8 oz. cleansers (or one
16 oz. cleanser
)
Everyone else : about one half 8 oz. cleanser
