Frequently asked questions
Is QV Intensive Cleanser the same as soap?
No. QV Intensive Cleanser is soap-free. Soap has a high pH that strips the skin's lipid barrier. QV Intensive Cleanser uses mild non-soap surfactants at skin-friendly pH and adds lipid moisturisers.
Can I use QV Intensive Cleanser on my face?
Yes. The fragrance-free non-soap formula is gentle enough for daily face cleansing, especially for sensitive, dry or eczema-prone facial skin. Follow with QV Cream to seal in hydration.
What is the difference between QV Intensive Cleanser and QV Gentle Wash?
QV Intensive Cleanser is richer with more emollients - best for very dry or eczema-prone skin. QV Gentle Wash is lighter and slightly foaming for everyday mild dryness.
How long does a 1kg tub last?
For a single adult using daily as a body wash, a 1kg tub typically lasts 3 to 4 months. For a family of 4 sharing it, expect 1 to 2 months.
