Product details

Cleanse + balance

A mildly acidic, pH 5.5 cream cleanser with amino-acid surfactants and a black complex of truffle, blackberry, soybean and black cumin.

The Gentle Black Facial Cleanser is the foaming step of Klairs’ Gentle Black line. Its creamy texture whips up into a soft, rich foam built on mild amino-acid cleansers, so it lifts away oil and grime without the squeaky, tight feeling. Klairs suggests it for dehydrated or oily skin, and for skin that reacts to harsher synthetic surfactants.
