What makes it special?

I spent a while deliberating on adding this product into The Curatory in part because of the higher price point. Everything has to be justified and I appreciate that lots of people won’t want to fork out this much on a cleanser - it’s not cheap especially when it’s not bringing much else to the table. That being said it has one job to do and it does it so well that you’ll feel a million dollars - it is honestly a complete pleasure to use and sets up the rest of your routine beautifully.

Key ingredients

Allantoin is found in lots of moisturisers for its skin soothing and moisturising properties. It’s commonly used in products designed for use after in-clinic treatments or in aftershaves for its calming effects. It falls under the humectant category of moisturisers meaning that it helps to draw water into the upper layers of the skin and keep the skin supple and hydrated.

Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) has good evidence supporting its ability to improve skin hydration and barrier function by attracting and retaining moisture in the upper layers of the skin. Its soothing effects and ability to reduce irritation are supported by clinical data, making it a reliable ingredient for those with dry and sensitive skin.

Matricaria Flower Extract (chamomile) contains compounds such as bisabolol and flavonoids that are associated with soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. While there are some small studies that suggest benefits for calming redness and irritation, bigger studies are needed for this to be used as a single ingredient in skincare.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice contains polysaccharides and antioxidant compounds that help hydrate the skin and support sensitive skin. While its soothing and hydrating properties are well recognised, evidence for anti-inflammatory and healing effects is mixed, with results varying between studies. It is commonly used to help calm redness and irritation, particularly in sensitive or dehydrated skin.

How to use

Revision Gentle Foaming Cleanser

Application Instructions

You can use this as much as you like as either your morning or evening cleanse (first and/or second). The packaging will tell you to use a whole pump - this is a bit much and I find that just over half a pump will be plenty for your face and neck.

Gently remove make up with a micellar water or oil/balm cleanser
