NEOSTRATA PHA Facial Cleanser 6.8 fl oz Fragrance-Free Gentle Soap-Free Gel for Sensitive Skin

NEOSTRATA PHA Facial Cleanser is a soap-free, non-foaming gel that gently cleanses and lightly exfoliates sensitive, reactive skin without stripping its moisture barrier.

This gentle gel facial wash uses a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) to provide mild exfoliation while cleansing, designed specifically for people who need a low-irritation routine starter. The fragrance-free, soap-free formula produces no dense foam and aims to remove surface debris and excess oils while respecting skin’s natural defenses. Packaged in a 6.8 fl oz pump bottle, it’s presented as a daily-use step to prepare skin for serums and moisturizers that follow.

How does this cleanser clean without irritating sensitive skin?

The cleanser avoids traditional harsh surfactants and fragrances that commonly trigger irritation. Instead, it uses a PHA to support gentle removal of dead skin cells and residues while maintaining hydration and pH balance. Its gel texture spreads easily and rinses clean without tightness.

• Soap-free, non-foaming gel base minimizes stripping.
• Contains Polyhydroxy Acid for gentle exfoliation.
• Fragrance-free formulation reduces sensory triggers.
• Rinses clean to leave skin prepped for treatment products.

Will this product work in my morning and evening routine?

This cleanser is suitable for both morning and evening use because it provides a mild cleanse without over-drying. In the morning it removes night-time products and oils; in the evening it clears makeup and environmental grime while preparing skin for restorative treatments. For heavier makeup, follow with a suitable makeup remover first.

• Morning: refreshes skin and preps for antioxidants and SPF.
• Evening: removes light makeup, sebum, and pollutants.
• Can be paired with oils or balms for thorough makeup removal.
• Gentle enough for daily twice-a-day use on reactive skin.

What results can I expect after using this PHA cleanser?

Regular use aims to maintain a clean, comfortable feel without visible irritation or tightness. The PHA provides mild exfoliation that can improve surface texture over time, while the non-foaming gel helps retain moisture. Individual outcomes depend on overall skincare routine and skin condition.

• Milder surface smoothing compared with harsher acids.
• Less dryness compared to soap-based cleansers.
• Creates a receptive base for serums and moisturizers.
• Formulated to reduce the risk of redness and stinging.

How should I use this cleanser for best results?

Dispense a small amount into damp hands, massage gently over face, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat skin dry and continue with your preferred treatments and moisturizer. If you are new to acid-containing products, introduce it gradually into your routine.

• Use a dime-sized amount on damp skin.
• Massage for 30–60 seconds, then rinse well.
• Follow with serums and a hydrating moisturizer.
• Start with once daily if you have very reactive skin, then increase as tolerated.
