The antidote to dry, sensitized skin

This soft and supple cleanser, free of essential oils and strong fragrance, was designed for our most sensitive customers. It has a delicate, warm vanilla aroma and features a nourishing oil blend that imparts long-lasting moisture, making it ideal for dry skin types.

It perfectly slippy texture removes makeup and impurities in one step — no double cleanse required — leaving skin soft, dewy, plump and moisturized.

How to use

It's essential to apply Deep Moisture Cleansing Balm before skin is wet. Starting with dry hands and face, dip your finger into the jar to scoop a small amount, then massage gently over the skin, focusing on areas that need extra attention.

You’ll notice the balm melts into an oil as it dissolves makeup, sunscreen and impurities. Next, add warm water to transform the formula into a milky emulsion, and rinse using a warm, wet cloth. Your skin is left clean, soft and dewy.

I love Activist. I have nightmare skin and have spent a small fortune trying to soothe it. Activist just works, quietly and without fanfare. Allison is a wonderful human being and has helped me to come up with the best regimen for me, especially since I have a severely limited income. It means a lot to buy from an ethical company run by a caring human-- especially when the products actually work. I'm so happy to have found Activist.
