Doctor Rogers Essential Face Wash: Short Review
Key actives:
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: soothes irritation and provides hydration while cleansing.
Coco-Glucoside & Decyl Glucoside: mild, plant-derived surfactants that remove dirt and oil without over-stripping your barrier.
Glycerin: humectant that draws moisture into skin and supports barrier function.
Doctor Rogers Essential Face Wash
A very gentle gel cleanser, formulated with plant-based surfactants that cleanse more mildly than traditional ones, making it a good option for dry or sensitive skin that can't tolerate harsher formulas. The aloe and glycerin base keeps things hydrated during the brief cleansing process.
Those with dry, sensitive, or normal skin who need gentle daily cleansing without the tight, stripped feeling. Works well if you're dealing with irritation, healing from treatments, or just want something mild for morning cleansing.
Anyone with very oily or acne-prone skin might find this too gentle. If you're dealing with persistent breakouts, you'll want a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide cleanser instead. Also, if you wear heavy makeup or waterproof sunscreen, consider using an oil cleanser first, as this gel formula won't break down those products effectively on its own.
Quick note: it won’t remove heavy makeup on its own, but if paired with micellar water or makeup remover, it can work nicely as a second step in a double cleansing routine.
None, seriously. It’s a clean and safe formula with no fragrance, essential oils, sulfates, or parabens.
Supporting ingredients worth noting:
Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate: natural antimicrobial that helps keep the formula stable and provides gentle purifying benefits.
Caprylyl Glycol: adds moisture and softens skin.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): antioxidant, protects from environmental stressors.
