ILIA The Cleanse Soft Foaming Cleanser & Makeup Remover — 6.76 fl oz | Hydrating, Fragrance-Free Daily Wash

This daily foaming wash is formulated for those who want effective cleansing with a caring touch. Using plant-derived surfactants and a sugar-based hydration complex, it lifts away makeup, sunscreen and pollution while supporting skin’s moisture balance. The texture transforms into a light, creamy foam that rinses clean and leaves skin feeling supple rather than tight.

How does this cleanser remove makeup without drying skin?

The formula pairs mild, sulfate-free surfactants with a gentle emulsifier to dissolve and lift makeup and excess sebum without harsh detergents. A plant-derived sugar complex binds moisture to skin, reducing the stripped feeling typical of stronger cleansers.

• Plant-based surfactants: create a soft lather that displaces oils and impurities.
• Barsolve emulsifier: helps dissolve mineral SPF and longwear makeup.
• Pentavitin sugar complex: attracts and retains moisture for post-rinse hydration.

Is this safe for sensitive or reactive skin?

The fragrance-free composition minimizes common irritants, and the formulation avoids aggressive sulfates. It’s designed to respect the skin’s pH and barrier, so many with sensitive skin tolerate it well; patch test if you have known reactions.

• No added fragrance: reduces risk of scent-related irritation.
• Gentle surfactants: effective cleansing with lower irritation potential.
• Hydrating actives: help soothe and support barrier recovery after cleansing.

How should I use it in my routine for best results?

Use morning and evening as a first-step cleanser or alone on light makeup days. Pump into wet hands, work into a foam, massage over damp skin, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with serums or moisturizer while skin is slightly damp to lock in hydration.

• Pump 1–2 times onto wet palms; lather briefly.
• Massage gently across face and rinse with lukewarm water.
• Pair with your favorite ILIA serum or moisturizer to seal in moisture.
