Cleansing is an essential component of your Ritual that removes surface debris and prepares the skin for optimal absorption of reparative nightly actives. Additionally, the lipids in RATIONALE cleansers restore and nourish the skin’s barrier function.

#4 The Cleanser is a gentle cream cleanser that restores the barrier function with intercellular lipids and ceramides. Alternatively, #5 The Cleanser recalibrates the skin's pH using a Complex of Hydroxy Acids.

For the most effective cleanse, a double cleanse is recommended. The first cleanse removes surface debris, while the second allows for optimal absorption of nightly actives.

Yes, you can. Those with a combination skin type may benefit from using both cleansers. Additionally, you may choose to have both cleansers to suit seasonal changes.

#4 The Cleanser is suitable for normal to dry skin types or those experiencing signs of redness and/or dehydration.

#5 The Cleanser is suitable for normal to oily skin types or those experiencing signs of congestion and/or textural changes.

You can remove your cleanser with either tepid water in your hands or a face cloth. If you choose to use a face cloth, we recommend a gentle, non-abrasive option.
