    Gentle cleanse. Powerful renewal.

    This skin-balancing daily cleanser combines hydrating botanicals with Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative known to smooth skin and improve tone — without irritation. It gently removes impurities, makeup, and excess oil while leaving skin soft, refreshed, and never stripped.

    Perfect for sensitive, dry, or aging skin.

    • Smooths and brightens with gentle, non-irritating Bakuchiol
    • Supports collagen and elasticity for visibly renewed skin
    • Soothes and hydrates with calming botanicals

    How to Use

    Pump a small amount of cleanser into wet hands and gently massage over the face and neck using circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Use morning and evening. Follow with a Dr. Zenovia serum and moisturizer for best results. (Tip: Avoid using extremely hot or cold water; lukewarm water is best to protect skin’s natural oils.)

    Key Ingredients

    • Bakuchiol – A powerful antioxidant often called a “natural retinol,” offering retinol-like benefits (improving tone and texture) without irritation. Helps clarify skin and reduce the look of fine lines over time.
    • Bisabolol – A soothing, skin-conditioning agent derived from chamomile that reduces dryness and flaking, restoring suppleness to dehydrated or damaged skin.
    • REG-ulate360™ Complex – Includes Resveratrol, Vitamin E, Green Tea, and Genistein. This proprietary blend helps restore skin affected by hormonal changes to a healthy, balanced state and supports the skin’s barrier.
    • Aloe Vera – Medical-grade Aloe that provides antioxidants and Vitamins A & C to calm and comfort sensitive, reactive skin.
    • Antioxidant + Hydration Blend – Green Tea Polyphenols, Caffeine, and Vitamin E soothe and nourish the skin, while Yucca Root and Panthenol boost hydration and calm redness.
    Dr. Zenovia's Tips

    "When cleansing, water temperature matters! I recommend using moderately warm (not hot) water to help preserve your skin’s natural oils and avoid irritation. Gently massage the cleanser for about 30 seconds to let the ingredients do their work, then rinse. Follow with your favorite serum and moisturizer to lock in hydration."

    FAQs

    What is bakuchiol and is it really a natural retinol alternative?

    Bakuchiol is a plant-derived antioxidant that delivers retinol-like benefits — smoother texture, more even tone, and a reduction in the look of fine lines — without the irritation, dryness, or flaking that traditional retinol can cause. It's a favorite for sensitive skin and for anyone who wants gentle renewal. This cleanser delivers those benefits in a daily wash step.

    Is this cleanser gentle enough for sensitive or dry skin?

    Yes. This pH-balancing cleanser is formulated for sensitive, dry, and aging skin. It removes makeup, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture, leaving it soft and comfortable rather than tight. Soothing botanicals like bisabolol and aloe vera calm and condition while green tea polyphenols and panthenol hydrate.

    Can I use this cleanser if I'm pregnant and can't use retinol?

    Because bakuchiol is a plant-based alternative rather than a retinoid, many people choose it when they want gentle renewal without traditional retinol. That said, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, always check with your physician before starting any new skincare product to confirm it's right for you.

    When and how often should I use it?

    Use morning and evening. Massage a small amount over damp skin using circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water — avoid hot water, which can strip the skin. Follow with a Dr. Zenovia serum and moisturizer to lock in hydration. It's gentle enough for twice-daily use.
