ALPHA-H - Balancing Cleanser

The ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser is a creamy facial cleanser that combines cleansing, toning and make-up removal in one step. You'd normally follow a cleanser with a toner, a watery lotion that preps the skin for serum and cream. With this cleanser, that separate step isn't necessary. It suits all skin types, especially dry, sensitive and/or irritated skin. The formula contains Vitamin E and Aloe Vera and comes in a 185 ml bottle.

What is the ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser?

The ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser is a 3-in-1 facial cleanser from ALPHA-H. The creamy texture lifts make-up, sunscreen and dirt from the skin and rinses off easily with water.

Because the cleanser combines cleansing, toning and make-up removal, you get through the first steps of your routine with one product. That's convenient if you prefer working with as few steps as possible.

Who is the ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser for?

The Balancing Cleanser suits all skin types, especially dry, sensitive or irritated skin. The creamy texture cleanses without drying out the skin, which is welcome if your skin often feels tight after a regular cleanser. It also suits anyone who prefers cleansing with one product instead of a separate cleanser, toner and make-up remover.

How do you use the ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser?

Apply a small amount of the ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser to your hand and spread it over your face and neck. Massage the Balancing Cleanser in for about a minute, wetting your fingertips with a little water as you go. Then remove it with lukewarm to warm water; a washcloth, compress or cotton pad can help. Want extra hydration after cleansing? You can follow with the ALPHA-H Essential Hydration Cream.

Active ingredients

The formula of the Balancing Cleanser is built around two active ingredients.

• Vitamin E is an antioxidant, a substance that captures free radicals, particles that form partly through UV radiation and pollution. After cleansing, skin feels softer, with less visible redness.
• Aloe Vera is a plant extract with a high water content. It keeps skin supple after washing and prevents a tight feeling.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the formula skips harsh foaming surfactants and relies on Vitamin E and Aloe Vera instead. That's why it also suits reactive or easily irritated skin. It does contain fragrance, so read our patch testing guide and try it on a small area first.

Does the ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser contain sulfates?

No, the ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser contains no sulfates. Sulfates are surfactants found in many foaming cleansers that can dry out the skin. This cleanser instead works with lauryl glucoside, a milder, plant-based cleansing agent.

What's the difference between the ALPHA-H Balancing Cleanser and the ALPHA-H Triple Action Cleanser?
