Dr. Loretta Gentle Hydrating Cleanser for Women, 6.76 fl oz — Sulfate-Free Gel, Soothing for Sensitive Skin

Dr. Loretta Women's Gentle Hydrating Cleanser is a sulfate-free gel cleanser that removes makeup, pollution residue, and impurities while leaving skin soft and hydrated.

This richly textured gel is formulated to cleanse without stripping natural oils, blending marine-derived peptides, hydrolyzed algin, and calming botanicals like chamomile and ginger root essential oils. Recognized by Allure as one of the best facial cleansers, the formula is cruelty-free, vegan, and free from sulfates (SLS/SLES), parabens, phthalates, alcohol, artificial fragrance, and dyes. Its gentle profile makes it suitable for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or post-procedure skin when used as directed.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and pollutants without drying skin?

The gel contains hydrating marine peptides and hydrolyzed algin that help lift dirt and makeup while maintaining the skin's moisture balance. Gentle surfactants cleanse effectively but are chosen to avoid the harsh stripping effect of traditional sulfates. Chamomile and ginger root provide soothing support to reduce irritation after cleansing.

• Marine peptides and hydrolyzed algin support hydration during cleansing
• Sulfate-free formula avoids harsh detergents (no SLS/SLES)
• Gentle surfactants remove eye and face makeup without tugging
• Soothing botanicals help calm sensitive skin after use

Is this safe for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or post-procedure skin?

The product is formulated to be gentle and non-irritating: it contains no alcohol, artificial fragrance, dyes, parabens, phthalates, or animal-derived ingredients. Many users with reactive skin types find it suitable because it cleans thoroughly without provoking tightness or visible redness when used as recommended. For post-procedure care, always follow your provider's advice before introducing any new product.

• Free of common irritants like fragrance, alcohol, parabens, and phthalates
• Cruelty-free and vegan formulation reduces allergy risk from animal-derived additives
• Designed for gentle application around the eye area
• Recommended to consult a clinician for immediate post-procedure use

How should I use this cleanser for best results, morning and night?

Apply to damp skin and massage gently; the gel can be left on for up to three minutes to allow actives to work before rinsing thoroughly. Use morning and evening as part of your regular skincare routine, and it doubles as a makeup remover for eyes and face. Pat skin dry and follow with your preferred serums or moisturizers while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.

• Massage onto wet skin; leave up to 3 minutes, then rinse
• Safe and gentle for use around the eyes to remove makeup
• Use both morning and evening for consistent hydration and cleansing
• Follow with serum or moisturizer while skin is damp for best results

What are the standout ingredients and what do they do?

The formula centers on hydrolyzed algin and marine peptides, which support skin hydration and a smooth texture while cleansing. Chamomile delivers calming effects to help reduce irritation, and ginger root essential oil adds antioxidant-supportive properties and a subtle, natural scent. The blend is crafted to cleanse, soothe, and preserve the skin’s natural barrier.

• Hydrolyzed algin: helps maintain moisture and smooth skin feel
• Marine peptides: support hydration and skin texture during cleansing
• Chamomile: soothes and calms sensitive skin
• Ginger root essential oil: provides antioxidant-supportive properties

Who is this for: This cleanser is intended for anyone seeking a hydrating, sulfate-free gel that effectively removes makeup and daily pollutants without drying the skin. It is especially useful for people with sensitive or reactive skin types, those recovering from non-restrictive cosmetic procedures (with clinician approval), and anyone preferring vegan and cruelty-free skincare options. If you have severe or specific medical skin conditions, consult your dermatologist before changing products.
