Gentle but thorough cleansing is an essential step in your routine - removing makeup, dead cells, pollution and other impurities allows the skin to absorb active ingredients and stay hydrated. Dr. Barbara Sturm's mild foaming cleanser is formulated to meet the precise health needs of darker skin tones, as it doesn't disturb the delicate pH balance or natural barrier function. Salicylic Acid absorbs excess sebum, resulting in a more even and balanced complexion. Purslane, an anti-aging powerhouse, reduces visible signs of irritation.
