A foaming gel cleanser that takes off makeup and the day without leaving skin tight. Alastin builds it for normal, combination and oily skin, and says it can be used on all skin types.
What is Alastin Gentle Cleanser?
Alastin Gentle Cleanser is a foaming gel face wash formulated to remove environmental pollutants and makeup without stripping the skin. It carries D-panthenol, bisabolol and oat kernel extract for softening and calming. One pump, morning and evening or as needed, on a face wet with warm water.
What Gentle Cleanser does
Three ingredients do the soothing work. D-panthenol, a vitamin B5 derivative, softens and moisturizes. Bisabolol is an antioxidant with calming properties. Oat kernel extract calms skin, and beta-glucan sits alongside it.
The texture is a gel that foams rather than a cream. It rinses without residue and without the tight, squeaky feeling that usually means a cleanser has taken too much with it.
Normal, combination and oily, in Alastin's words. Usable on all skin types.
Scent
Lavender and orange peel oils. No artificial or synthetic fragrance.
Formula
Non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, oil-free
Size
6 Oz (177 mL)
When to use
Morning and evening, or as needed
Alastin Gentle Cleanser reviews: what buyers report
No squeaky clean feeling, and that is the point. One buyer puts it exactly: you will not get that squeaky feeling, you will get soft skin without over drying. Another reports no tightness or dryness at all.
Practitioners send people here. One arrived on an esthetician's recommendation, another on her doctor's after laser resurfacing.
It gets used for years, not weeks. One reviewer has been using it for years, another for three months twice daily.
The scent is noticeable. Buyers elsewhere describe a delicate natural smell of lavender and citrus. Worth knowing if you are sensitive to fragrance of any kind.
Who Gentle Cleanser suits
Normal, combination and oily skin, and anyone who wants makeup off without their face feeling stripped. It is the first step before Alastin Renewal Retinol at night, and before ReSURFACE Skin Polish on the days you exfoliate. Browse the rest of Alastin for the routine it starts.
My bag arrived in reasonable time - under 2 weeks from UK to USA - as expected. The bag is beautifully understated with soft leather, a lovely smooth strap that will not snag delicate knits but wide enough to feel comfortable on the shoulder even when carrying a heavy tablet and a smooth running zipper. It is carefully finished - no loose threads or crooked stitching and was exceedingly well packaged so there are no creases or scratches. The price was exceptionally good, especially as it included shipping and tax. I will recommend and consider buying from this site in the future.

Hello,
The bag itself is nice. However the ball of straw at the top makes it difficult to wrap the loop around it. The clasp needs to have a smooth surface or use a smooth metal clasp or a large faux pearl (like on other identical bags) or with a strong magnet or a clasp used on many top closure bags. I tried to push down the straw ball so it's easier to close. Tell your supplier about this issue.
The bag smells so horrible of toxic moth balls, I couldn’t even bring it in my house. My whole head hurt as soon as I opened it, and I had to wash my hands after touching it. It has been sitting outside for 24 hours and the smell is just as strong. I need a new one that doesn’t smell Iike this.
The wrong item was sent but your customer service is not responding at all!!!!!!!!
I ordered
Lottie Flap Crossbody Medium Handbags-Olive
But got
Lottie Saddle Crossbody Small Handbags - Olive
These are well-made and very comfortable - was delighted when they arrived! The foot shape is very elegant (not too wide) which I think is not represented optimally in photo. More colors please!
These shoes were improperly size ranged. I am between a snug 6-1/2 and 7-ish depending on the shoe. I was too intimidated to order the smaller size seeing the 6– to 6-1/2 which 6 I am definitely not. So these 38’s are so huge I’ve inserted TWO inserts, and TWO Heel gels for each shoe and they are still hopelessly unwearable. I’m absolutely distraught. If you send me the smaller size I’m going to try to return these if you tell me how. Please send me the smaller pair.
