SKINCARE

Cleansers

Facial cleansers, cleansing balms, and makeup removers for professional treatment rooms.

What professional cleansers are

Professional cleansers are the first step of nearly every facial. Lines usually include gel and foam cleansers for oily skin, milks and creams for dry or sensitive skin, and oil cleansers or balms that dissolve makeup and sunscreen before a second cleanse. Many brands sell back-bar sizes for the treatment room and smaller retail sizes for clients to take home.

Who buys them

Estheticians, day spas, med spas, and skin clinics that run facials, peels, and device treatments, and that want clients using the same cleanser at home as in the treatment room.

What to compare

  • Range of formulas for different skin types, and whether there is a dedicated makeup remover or pre-cleanse.
  • Back-bar sizes and pricing versus retail sizes.
  • How the cleanser fits the rest of the brand's protocol, especially before peels or devices.
  • Ingredient standards the brand publishes, such as fragrance-free or vegan options.
  • Training and professional account requirements.
