Perricone MD Nutritive Cleanser Gentle Gel Face Wash 2 fl oz — ALA, AHAs & Copper for Soft, Hydrated Normal to Dry Skin

Perricone MD High Potency Classics Nutritive Cleanser is a gentle gel face wash formulated with alpha-lipoic acid, AHAs, and a copper complex to soften, hydrate, and prepare normal to dry skin for treatment.

This lightweight, non-drying gel cleanser removes surface oil, makeup residue, and daily impurities while leaving the skin conditioned and ready for serums or moisturizers. Designed as the first step in a targeted skincare routine, the formula combines exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids, antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), and a proprietary copper complex to refine texture and support the look of elasticity without tightness or flaking.

How does this cleanser clean without over-drying dry or normal skin?

The gel base is designed to lift away debris and excess oils without stripping naturally occurring moisture. Gentle surfactants and conditioning agents help the skin feel soft rather than taut after rinsing.

• Non-drying gel texture that rinses clean
• Removes makeup, surface oils, and impurities
• Leaves a conditioned, supple finish suitable for normal to dry skin

What active ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula pairs antioxidant ALA with exfoliating AHAs and a copper complex to address multiple concerns in a single wash. Each active contributes differently: ALA targets oxidant stress and texture, AHAs promote gentle surface renewal, and the copper complex supports skin firmness feel and hydration.

• Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA): antioxidant support and texture refinement
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): gentle exfoliation for brighter-looking skin
• Copper Complex: bioavailable hydration to improve the feel of firmness and elasticity

How should I use this cleanser in my routine?

Use morning and evening as the first step on damp skin to ensure active ingredients can work effectively. A quarter-sized amount is sufficient; massage gently, then rinse thoroughly and follow with targeted serums and moisturizers while skin is slightly damp.

• Apply to damp skin with a quarter-sized amount
• Massage gently and rinse; pat skin dry
• Follow with treatment serums and moisturizers for best results

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin or cruelty-free lifestyles?

The cleanser is formulated as a gentle, non-drying gel suitable for normal to dry skin. Perricone MD indicates the product is vegan and cruelty-free, but those with high sensitivity should patch-test and introduce it gradually with other active products.

• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• Ideal for normal to dry skin types; patch test if very sensitive
• Works as a preparatory step before stronger treatments

Who is this for: Perricone MD High Potency Classics Nutritive Cleanser is aimed at skincare enthusiasts seeking a gentle daily gel cleanser that both removes impurities and conditions normal to dry skin. It suits users who want a preparatory wash that includes antioxidant support, mild exfoliation, and hydration to better receive subsequent serums and treatments. If you prefer a lightweight texture, value vegan and cruelty-free credentials, and are building a layered anti-aging regimen, this 2 fl oz cleanser is formulated to fit that role.
