Product details

A white tube of Honest Cleansing Foam on a white stone table beside a sprig of green tea leaves, centella leaves and a mound of foam

Creamy foam cleanser

A creamy face wash that lathers into rich foam and rinses clean, leaving skin soft rather than tight.

Part of Benton’s Honest line, this everyday cleanser uses plant oil-derived cleansing agents to lift away dirt, makeup and excess oil. Glycerin, camellia seed oil and extracts of green tea and centella help leave skin subtly moisturized after rinsing.
