Alpha Cleansing Foam

Description

A gel-type facial cleanser for oily and acne-prone skin, which Histolab says “gently removes excess oil, impurities, and daily buildup” and “soothes sensitive, irritated, and blemish-prone skin” while supporting a healthier moisture-oil balance. This is the manufacturer's claim, not a guarantee we're making.

How to use

Dispense a small amount onto damp hands and work into a soft lather; massage over the face in circular motions, focusing on oily or congested areas; rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with toner. Use morning and evening as the first step of the routine.

Skin type

Oily, combination and acne-prone/blemish-prone skin; also marketed for sensitive skin irritated by harsher cleansers.
