Soothing Silk Cleanser - ilapothecary

Yes, while rich, the cleanser is non-comedogenic and formulated to remove impurities without stripping the skin, which can actually help balance oil production. It effectively cleanses without leaving a greasy residue if rinsed properly.

A waterless formulation means that water is not used as a base ingredient. This typically results in a more concentrated product with a richer texture and potentially higher efficacy of the active ingredients, as they are not diluted.

Yes, the gentle nature of this cleanser makes it suitable for use alongside most active ingredients. However, always patch test new combinations and monitor your skin's reaction.

With daily use (morning and night), a 100ml bottle typically lasts between 1 to 2 months, depending on the amount used per application.

Generally, unopened products have a shelf life of 2-3 years. Once opened, it is best to use the product within 6-12 months for optimal freshness and efficacy.

The product is formulated with natural ingredients, and any scent is derived from these natural oils. It is free from artificial fragrances.

Ensure you are using enough warm water to emulsify the cleanser. Adding water gradually while massaging can help create a milky lather that rinses more easily. If still persistent, try using a soft, damp washcloth to gently remove the residue.

This is likely due to the rich, hydrating oils. If you prefer a completely matte finish, consider following with a toner or a lighter-weight moisturizer. Ensure all product residue has been thoroughly rinsed.

For stubborn waterproof makeup, it's recommended to use a dedicated makeup remover first, or apply a generous amount of the Soothing Silk Cleanser and allow it to sit on the skin for a minute before massaging and rinsing. A double cleanse may be beneficial.
