Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to use a facial cleanser?

Cleansing is an essential step in your skincare ritual, lifting away surface impurities while preparing the complexion for the optimal absorption of nightly actives. RATIONALE cleansers not only purify but also replenish and strengthen the skin’s barrier, ensuring it remains nourished, balanced and resilient.

How do I use a facial cleanser?

Apply your cleanser to damp skin using gentle, circular motions, allowing the formulation to dissolve impurities. Add a small amount of tepid water to enhance emulsification, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Repeat these steps twice to completely remove all traces of dirt, SPF and makeup.

How often should you use a facial cleanser?

To optimise barrier health and enhance the function of nightly actives, RATIONALE encourages cleansing at night-time only and simply rinsing with tepid water in the morning. This is because surface debris from environmental pollutants and cosmetics aren't present during our sleep, and in the morning, we want the active antioxidants from our overnight formulations to continue serving our skin throughout the day.

Should I use a cream cleanser or cleansing balm?

For the most refined cleansing ritual, use both: a cleansing balm to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, followed by a cream cleanser to rebalance, replenish and support the skin’s barrier.

Why do we recommend double cleansing?

For the most effective cleanse, a double cleanse is recommended. The first cleanse removes surface debris, while the second allows for optimal absorption of nightly actives.

What is the difference between #4 The Cleanser and #5 The Cleanser?

#4 The Nourishing Cleanser is a gentle cream cleanser that restores the barrier function with intercellular lipids and ceramides. Alternatively, #5 The Cleanser recalibrates the skin's pH using a Complex of Hydroxy Acids.

Can I use both #4 The Nourishing Cleanser and #5 The Cleanser?

Yes, you can. Those with a combination skin type may benefit from using both cleansers. Additionally, you may choose to have both cleansers to suit seasonal changes.

How do I know if #4 The Nourishing Cleanser is the best facial cleanser for my skin type?

Choose #4 The Nourishing Cleanser as your daily facial cleanser if you have normal to dry skin or are experiencing signs of redness and/or dehydration.
