Updated October 18, 2026
Hyaluronic-acid gel cleanser leaves sensitive skin hydrated; delayed burning complaints exist.
What the community says
A jelly-textured cleanser built around multiple hyaluronic acid forms, glycerin, squalane, ectoin, and ceramide NP for a comfortable second cleanse. Dry, sensitive skin may enjoy it, but delayed burning makes patch-testing smart for reactive users.
