Frequently Asked Questions
Who Is It For?
This is our most versatile cleanser, designed for all skin types. It is especially ideal for:
- Sensitive Skin
It is Dermatest® Excellent Rated for sensitive skin and EWG Verified. The Mild Face Cleanser provides a deep clean while calming and hydrating the skin:
- Soothing & Calming: Infused with Bisabolol and Aloe, it reduces the look of redness and irritation while you wash.
- Moisture Balance: Uses Glycerin to pull moisture into the skin so your face feels soft, not stripped.
- Gentle Refresh: Lavender Oil provides a natural, calming scent and helps refresh the skin's surface.
Cleansing & Skincare Routine
No. While the Mild Face Cleanser is extremely gentle, it is not formulated to dissolve the waxes and pigments found in mascara or long-wear eye makeup. We recommend using a dedicated eye makeup remover for those areas to avoid excessive rubbing, which can irritate the delicate skin around the eyes and lead to fine lines.
Yes, for a perfect "Double Cleanse." If you wear makeup or sunscreen, we recommend using Exfoliating Cleansing Cream to remove makeup and sunscreen. Then use Mild Face Cleanser to deep-clean your pores and any residue. Using both ensures your skin is perfectly prepped for next step of your skincare routine.
How to Use & Safety
Use 2 to 3 pumps for your entire face and neck both morning and night. Massage onto damp skin in gentle, circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. If wearing face makeup, remove makeup using Exfoliating Cleansing Cream. Then double cleanse with Mild Face Cleanser.
Yes, you can use our Mild Face Cleanser if you're pregnant or nursing. However, skin can become more sensitive during this time, so we recommend doing a patch test before full use to ensure compatibility. As always, consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
With twice-daily use (2-3 pumps each time), a 150g bottle typically lasts 2 to 3 months.
The Self-Preservation System is a patented formulation approach developed by Dr. Louie Kim to help maintain product stability and hygiene without relying on traditional preservative systems. It works through formulation design and ingredient synergy that create conditions less favourable for microbial growth, alongside controlled manufacturing and packaging practices. Products using this system are still assessed for safety and stability in accordance with applicable cosmetic regulations; the system describes the preservation approach rather than replacing required safety testing.
This gentle cleanser is praised for being effective on sensitive and dry skin. Customers said it leaves skin "soft and clean" without stripping or causing irritation. The subtle scent is well-received. Many note it's non-toxic and chemical-free. One shopper mentioned it doesn't remove eye makeup well, though it "removes natural mascara" for others.
- It even removes my natural mascara without irritating my eyes.
- My irritated cheeks went away. Just smooth skin.
- It's incredibly gentle yet effective, leaving my skin refreshed without any dryness.
I have been using this cleanser for years and love it. It smells great, it is gentle on my skin, never drying and it leaves my skins so soft and clean. I will not use anything else.
Love these products. No toxic nasties and sooooo good for your skin
I originally received a sample of this with an order. I liked it so much I ordered a full-size bottle. It even removes my natural mascara without irritating my eyes.
I recently purchased Dr, Louie mild face cleanser and just love it. I have very sensitive skin and have been purchasing over the counter products for many years and I read about this product on the Environmental Working Group and decided to try it.
My skin feels amazing and I just purchased my second bottle of it and am now a subscriber. I also purchased the moisturizer and LOVE it as well.
I needed a truly "chemical free" face wash. It was really hard to find. Once I found Dr. Louie's mild face cleanser, I knew I had found heaven. My irritated cheeks went away. Just smooth skin. There is no smell at all (no bad fragrances) and it's just a soft and silky smooth way to face your face.
Absolutely loving this new cleanser! In just two weeks, I’ve already seen amazing results on my dry skin—it feels smoother, more hydrated, and healthier. I love that this product is clean and still so effective:)
Fantastic cleansing duo. Works well on my sensitive skin, feeling fresh and clean! I would definitely recommend this product to all my friends.
I was given a sample of this cleanser with an order, and it smells amazing. not overpowering, just a hint of lavender. and i love how my skin feels afterwards. soft and not feeling dry
Both cleansers work very well. Lightly scented and works well on sensitive skin.
Both cleansers work very well. Lightly scented and works well on sensitive skin.
I've tried so many cleansers as my skin is dry and really sensitive. Whatever I used, my skin would get red after washing and felt stripped. After using this cleanser for about 3 days, I can safely say that my skin does not react and feels soothed and calmer after using it.
I will definitely continue using it and recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin.
This cleanser is a gem. It's incredibly gentle yet effective, leaving my skin refreshed without any dryness. Perfect for daily use, and a little goes a long way. My go-to for sure.
This product leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It doesn't irritate or sting my eyes. I've been using this on my toddler son, and he's had no complaints.
I started using this product after I received a sample of it, and I have been HOOKED every since! It's so gentle but it's effective! It doesn't lather too well, but that makes me feel like it's not stripping my skin, which I love! Hands down one of the best dr louie products along with all-in-one serum!
Such a nice facial cleanser! Got a sample size of it and loved it so much I bought the full size!
My skin got really dry after giving birth, but this leaves my dry skin feeling clean and moisturized and not stripped. I love the subtle scent too!
I've been using this cleanser for 2 years now, and my face looks clearer and clean. Loving it.
I've been using this for years, and I've never had any issue with this cleanser. I have dry skin, and other cleansers I've tried have dried my skin out. But this one doesn't! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it doesn't get rid of eye makeup. But other than that, a fantastic product.
I love how it smells. It smells like fresh cut lawn. And it's gentle and cleanses well.
I purchased a mini kit and ended up buying the full bottle because I loved it so much. I have sensitive, irritated skin, and this helps to calm that. Can't wait to try other products too!
I've never tried these low-soap cleansers, so it was difficult to get used to. But the customer service told me to lather with a soap mesh, and it's been amazing! It lathers well with a soap mesh AND it doesn't feel dry! But just because it doesn't feel dry, it doesn't mean it doesn't clean well because it does! Amazing product for sure.
I like the Mild face cleanser. I expected that more cleansing deeply and after washing face, more moisture.
Thanks
Cleans very well, feels and smells great!
I like the fragrance of this product and after cleansing, my face feels good.
Made my face feel fresh and clean. Thank you!
Thank you Eva for your wonderful review about our Mild Face Cleanser!
Made my face feel fresh and clean. Thank you!
This is just the best face cleanser I have used. I have tried high end cleansers that do not work for my skin. This cleans the skin without stripping it. Fantastic product
Thank you!
Thank you JH for this wonderful review. Our Cleanser does not include any harsh chemical sulfates, which is why skin doesn't feel dry afterwards. I'm so glad you like the cleanser! :)
Very nice 👍
Thank you Sun Mi! :) This is one of our favourites as well!
Very nice
Very mild on my skin. I have dry, red skin. And sometimes, it gets to a point that putting anything on my face is painful. But after using this cleanser, dryness and redness improved a lot. And it's not as reactive anymore.
Thank you Selena. N for your review!
Our Mild Face Cleanser leaves the skin's natural moisture barrier intact so that it can protect your skin and keep your skin hydrated. I'm so glad you like the cleanser!
