Cleansing is often underestimated, yet it is one of the most important treatment steps. A cleanser sets the tone for how the skin responds to everything that follows.
Gentle cleansing is corrective when skin is:
• Compromised
• Inflamed
• Over-treated
• Dehydrated
• Reactive
Aggressive cleansing can worsen inflammation and delay results. In many cases, simplifying the cleanse allows the skin to regulate and recover.

Key Takeaway
Cleansing is not neutral.
The right cleanser supports healing before correction begins.
