Helen’s note
If you ever feel tight after a cleanse, it's the wrong cleanser. Your skin has been over-cleaned and stripped of its natural protective oil barrier; so your skin becomes weak and vulnerable to redness, irritation, over-producing oil.

Synergie Skin
Ultracleanse Cleansing Gel
£49 150ml
A gel cleanser that, unusually, doesn’t strip. There’s no harsh detergent, just a gentle coconut-derived cleanser, sodium PCA to hold moisture and vitamin E, so it takes off oil, SPF and the day and leaves what skin needs to keep. It lathers rather than foams. A concentrate, so a little goes a long way. Waterproof mascara needs something else.
Key ingredients
Cocoamidopropyl Betaine- A natural coconut-derived cleansing ingredient that is gentle on the skin, used as an alternative to harsh cleansing agents.
Sodium PCA- occurs naturally in skin and is responsible for binding moisture to cells. It is a powerful skin hydrator.
D-alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E)- neutralises oxygen free radicals as a result of environmental stress
Essential oils (Jojoba, Neroli and Bergamot oil)
Free from sodium laureth sulphate, parabens, artificial colours/ fragrances.
If you're looking for a light-weight functional cleanser that just does it’s job, won't dry or strip but removes makeup, grime, and excess oils. Gel cleansers can be stripping, but we love this one because it's expressly not.
What to expect
- Skin that feels properly clean, never tight or dry
- A comfortable, hydrated feel after every wash
- Less oiliness without the rebound
- A cleanser that suits every skin type
