preparatory cleanser

PATIENT BENEFITS

• Gentle cleansing – no detergents
• Non-irritant solvent formula
• Contains anti-oxidant vitamins
• Helps soothe and calm skin
• Moisturising
• Oil-free
• Suitable for most sensitive and/or acne-prone skins

NEED TO KNOW

• Rationale Preparatory Cleanser is a solvent-based cleanser suitable for all skin types. Gently removes make-up and debris without irritation.
• Detergent-based (foaming) cleansers can strip the skin of Intercellular Lipids and Natural Moisturising Factors. This causes sensitivity, irritation, and rebound overproduction of sebum, leading to acne.
• Creamy cleansers (oil-based) can clog pores.
• Rationale Preparatory Cleanser has the luxurious look and feel of a creamy cleanser but is actually oil-free.

PRODUCT USAGE

• Preparatory Cleanser may be used morning and night.
• Will remove all make-up, including eye make-up.
• For dry skin – wet face with lukewarm water. Lather cleanser all over face and neck. Leave on for a few minutes to soften and moisturise. Tissue or sponge off. Leaves a moisturising layer on the surface.
• For normal to oily skin – wet face with lukewarm water. Lather cleanser all over face and neck. Rinse off with lukewarm water.
