What Simple Says

Simple Active Skin Barrier Care Smoothing Gel Cleanser with 5% lactic acid and hyaluronic acid gently exfoliates, supporting skin barrier health for even, smooth skin. This smoothing gel cleanser goes beyond gentle cleansing and gently exfoliates to reveal smoother, more even-toned skin without disrupting the skin barrier. The 7% ceramide boosters boost the skinโ€™s natural ceramide production, helping to strengthen skinโ€™s protective barrier and lock in moisture. The 5% AHA (Lactic Acid) gently exfoliates to reveal smoother skin texture, while the glycerin & hyaluronic acid helps to repair the skinโ€™s moisture barrier without irritating the skin. This skin pH-Neutral and Sulfate-free blend of amino-acid derived cleanser works together to gently remove oil, pollution and make-up without drying the skin. The skin-friendly pH is less disruptive to the acid mantle, and supports the presence of good bacteria on the skin. This soap-free cleanser with millions of micelles thoroughly sweeps away dirt for instantly refreshed skin. pH balanced formula for gentle cleansing without stripping the skinโ€™s natural lipids. Contains no artificial colour or perfume. Free from 2000+ harsh chemical. Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. Available in a 150ml pack. The other products in the Simple Active Skin Barrier Care range include Simple Active Skin Barrier Care Replenishing Cream Cleanser 150ml, Simple Active Skin Barrier Care Restorative Rich Cream 40g, Simple Active Skin Barrier Care Soothing Water Creme 40g. Try the Simple Active Skin Barrier Care Range - A New Generation of Cleansers and Creams that transform skin. Enhanced with ceramide boosters, to feed your skin with the nutrients and deep nourishment it needs to produce essential ceramides. A range of creams and cleansers boosted with clean and kind actives for a healthy skin barrier and visibly smoother, softer and replenished skin from the first use. Some products have topical ceramides as a solution, but itโ€™s proven that topical ceramides do not replenish skin lipids. Ceramides must be within skin to be most efficacious; however, ceramides are very large molecules, so when applied topically, they sit on top on skin and cannot penetrate. Unlike topical ceramides, Ceramide Boosters are small enough to penetrate skin. Those with sensitive skin have 25% fewer ceramides, which can lead to a permeable skin barrier that is easily irritated by aggressors. Ceramide boosters provide the building blocks to internally restore lipids, helping to strengthen a weakened barrier. Ceramide boosters help create resilient skin from within.

Ingredients Details

Glycerin

Common Name(s): Glycerol,glycerine,1,2,3-propanetriol

CAS Number: 56-81-5

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Glycerin pulls water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the outer skin layer (epidermis), boosting moisture levels and keeping skin soft, smooth, and plump.

Why It's Used: It is used in virtually every moisturizer, serum, and cleanser because it is highly effective at hydrating skin, is well-tolerated by all skin types, and enhances the texture and spreadability of formulations.

How It Works: As a humectant, glycerin forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, trapping them in the skin. it also reinforces the skin barrier by integrating into lipid structures between skin cells.
