Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Foaming Cleanser 5 fl oz — French Green Clay, Gentle Hydrating Formula

Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser is a gentle, plant-based foaming face wash with French green clay that lifts away dirt, oil, makeup and pollution while maintaining skin hydration.

This lightweight cleanser combines four mild, plant-derived surfactants with French green clay and rice oil esters to deeply cleanse without over-drying. The formula foams to remove surface impurities and environmental buildup, while rice-derived esters help retain moisture so skin feels soft and balanced rather than tight. It's crafted to be suitable for daily use and formulated without common irritants, making it a versatile step for varied skincare routines.

How does Ceramic Slip clean without stripping skin?

Ceramic Slip uses a mix of gentle, plant-based surfactants that lift and emulsify dirt, oil, and makeup, rather than harsh sulfates that can remove natural oils. Rice oil esters and other moisturizing components remain to help preserve the skin’s barrier and reduce post-wash dryness.

• Four mild soaps that produce a light foam for effective cleansing
• Rice oil esters that support hydration and comfort
• Formulated to avoid common irritants like sulfates, parabens and fragrances

Will it unclog pores and address oil or pollution buildup?

Yes—the French green clay in the formula helps absorb excess sebum, environmental grime and makeup residues from pores, improving the appearance of congestion. Regular use can make pores look smaller by removing the surface buildup that stretches them.

• French green clay targets oil and pollution without abrasive exfoliation
• Foaming texture helps lift debris from the skin surface
• Non-drying cleansing preserves skin balance for clearer-looking pores

Is this suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

Sunday Riley designed Ceramic Slip to be extra gentle: it is fragrance-free, sulfate-free and free from common irritants, which reduces the risk of irritation for many sensitive skin types. Because it focuses on mild surfactants and hydrating esters, it can be used morning and night, but patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Fragrance-free and formulated without parabens, phthalates or soy
• Gentle foaming action avoids physical scrubbing
• Suitable for daily use; patch test if you have a history of reactions

How do you incorporate it into a skincare routine?

Use Ceramic Slip as the first step in both morning and evening routines to remove overnight oils, sunscreen, or makeup. Follow with targeted treatments like serums or moisturizers while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.

• Apply to damp skin, massage to a light foam, then rinse thoroughly
• Follow with toner or serum for specific concerns (hydration, brightening)
• Finish with a moisturizer and SPF in the morning

Who is this for: Ceramic Slip Cleanser is suited for anyone seeking a reliable daily face wash that removes oil, makeup and urban pollution without stripping hydration. It’s a good pick for normal, combination, oily, and many sensitive skin types, as well as people who prefer clean, cruelty-free and vegan formulations. If you need aggressive exfoliation or acne medication, pair this cleanser with specialist treatments rather than relying on the cleanser alone.
