FAQs

DO I NEED A FIRST CLEANSER BEFORE THIS? You can use it solo or as your second cleanse after Oat Cleansing Balm in a double-cleanse routine. Works for both AM and PM

IS IT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN? Yes, even Eczema-prone skin. It is formulated without skin-stripping surfactants and has been certified by the National Eczema Association.

IS IT GOOD FOR DRY SKIN? Yes. This formula is made with dehydrated, dry, sensitive skin in mind

CAN I USE THIS IF I HAVE OILY SKIN? Yes, this formula is non-comedogenic, so it will deliver 24 hydration without clogging your skin. If you’re very oily or blemish-prone, you can use it in rotation with our Salicylic Acid Cleanser.

WILL IT REMOVE MY MAKEUP PROPERLY? Absolutely. Our gentle formula effectively removes waterproof makeup and SPF without any harsh rubbing or irritation. Perfect for even the most stubborn mascara.

CAN I USE THIS FOR DOUBLE CLEANSING? Yes! Use it after our Oat Cleansing Balm for a complete double cleanse, or on its own for a thorough yet gentle cleanse.

IS IT NON-COMEDOGENIC? Yes.

WHAT ABOUT ECZEMA OR DERMATITIS? We formulated for all skin types, even the most sensitive, and our formula is certified by the National Eczema Association. We always recommend a patch test first. Apply to your inner arm and wait 24–48 hours to check for a reaction.

Why harsh cleansing is damaging your skin barrier

That tight feeling after cleansing? It's not actually clean - it's damaged. When your cleanser leaves your skin feeling tight, it's stripped away your natural protective oils. This compromises your skin barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity, particularly problematic if your skin is already delicate. Our Milk Cleanser takes a different approach. The result? Clean, comfortable skin that feels properly looked after - never stripped or compromised.
