Most facial cleansers focus on removing oil and make-up, but leave sensitive or weakened skin tight and uncomfortable. NEOSTRATA Restore PHA Facial Cleanser is designed to cleanse effectively while respecting a fragile moisture barrier, so skin feels clean, soothed and comfortable straight after rinsing.

At the heart of the formula is 4% Gluconolactone, a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) that gently lifts away impurities and dull surface build-up without the harshness often associated with traditional acids. Its humectant properties attract and hold water, while its antioxidant activity helps defend against environmental stress for visibly calmer, smoother-looking skin.

This soap-free cleanser has a silky gel-lotion texture that emulsifies softly with water and rinses away without leaving a greasy or squeaky residue. Skin is left feeling fresh, balanced and supple, making it suitable for frequent use, including as part of both morning and evening routines.

Use as your first step to remove daily impurities and prepare skin for targeted treatments and moisturisers. The gentle action works particularly well for those whose skin is easily irritated by foaming or strongly fragranced cleansers, or whose barrier has been compromised by procedures or active skincare.

Soap-free, fragrance-free and non-foaming formula is developed for sensitive and post-procedure skin.4% Gluconolactone (PHA) offers gentle exfoliation plus humectant and antioxidant benefits in one step.pH-balanced technology supports skin’s natural barrier while effectively dissolving daily build-up.Rinse-off gel-lotion texture cleanses without leaving tightness, residue or a disrupted moisture balance.

For a complete Restore routine, follow with a PHA or lactobionic acid treatment and a barrier-supporting moisturiser, then finish with broad-spectrum sun protection in the daytime. Using this cleanser consistently helps optimise the performance and comfort of the full NEOSTRATA regimen.

A clinically inspired, PHA-powered cleanser that purifies, soothes and respects even sensitive, barrier-challenged skin.

Pro Tips

• Use as a morning and evening cleanser to maintain a consistent, gentle exfoliating effect from PHA.
• Do not rush the massage time; allowing the cleanser to sit briefly on the skin enhances its refining benefits.
• Pair with a non-irritating sunscreen during the day, especially when using other exfoliating or renewing treatments.
• If skin is very sensitised, start by using once daily in the evening and increase frequency as comfort allows.
