QV Face Gentle Foaming Cleanser - 150ml
A gentle foam cleanser enriched with Safflower Oil, Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E). Specifically formulated to cleanse and remove makeup.
QV Face Gentle Foaming Cleanser is formulated with a blend of moisturising ingredients including safflower seed oil and vitamin E (tocopherol) to gently hydrate while cleansing sensitive facial skin. The light, soap-free foaming formulation removes makeup and impurities, leaving skin fresh, soft and moisturised. pH balanced and ophthalmologist tested. 150ml.
Why choose QV Face Gentle Foaming Cleanser
Most facial cleansers make you choose between cleaning properly and not stripping the skin. QV Face Gentle Foaming Cleanser is built to avoid that trade: it is soap-free, so it does not strip the barrier the way an alkaline soap does, while the safflower seed oil and vitamin E hydrate during the wash rather than leaving skin tight afterwards.
It effectively removes makeup, which matters because the alternative for sensitive skin is usually a separate remover and then a cleanser - two products and twice the rubbing on the most reactive skin on the body. One light foam that lifts makeup and impurities is less handling, and less handling is what reactive facial skin responds to.
The exclusions are chosen for reactive skin: free from fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol, pH balanced, and ophthalmologist tested - the last of which is the relevant credential for something used around the eyes to remove makeup. It is also vegan friendly, with no animal derived ingredients, and suits normal, dry or sensitive skin.

Common uses
Daily facial cleansing for skin that reacts to ordinary face washes, and makeup removal for sensitive or dry skin that cannot tolerate a separate remover. Follow it with a fragrance-free moisturiser while skin is still damp - QV Cream 500g for dry skin, or QV Intensive Moisturiser where the skin is very dry or cracked. For the body, QV Gentle Wash is the soap-free equivalent. See the full Ego Pharmaceuticals range.
QV Face Gentle Foaming Cleanser FAQs
Does it remove makeup?
Yes - it effectively removes makeup along with everyday impurities. For sensitive skin that is a real advantage, because it avoids needing a separate makeup remover and the extra rubbing that goes with it.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is formulated for sensitive facial skin and suits normal and dry skin too. It is soap-free, pH balanced, ophthalmologist tested, and free from fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol - the ingredient groups most likely to provoke a reaction.
Why soap-free?
Soap is alkaline and strips the skin barrier, which leaves facial skin tight, dry and more reactive. A soap-free foam cleans without that penalty, which is why it can be used twice daily on sensitive skin.
How should I use it?
Morning and night. Wet your face with water, dispense the foam onto your hands, massage gently into face and neck, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid the eyes - if lather gets in, flush with water.
Will it dry my skin out?
It is formulated to hydrate while cleansing, using safflower seed oil and vitamin E, so skin should feel soft rather than tight afterwards. Follow with a moisturiser while skin is still slightly damp for the best result.
Is it vegan?
Yes - it contains no animal derived ingredients, and it is also free from fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol.
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes - if lather enters the eyes, flush with clean water. Always read the label and follow the directions for use, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. This is a cosmetic cleanser and is not a treatment for acne, dermatitis or any skin condition. Seek advice from your doctor, pharmacist or dermatologist for persistent facial irritation, rash or acne.
