| Generously sized cleanser. Ultra gentle liquid formula that's pH balanced so it won't overdry. Unscented and dye-free, lathers well, and rinses clean.
Why make another gentle cleanser?
Originally you guys asked me to make a larger size 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. I was going to stop there, but Eucerin ended up discontinuing my favorite moisturizer so I decided to also develop a moisturizer. Quite honestly, I figured if I'm making two out of three parts of the Regimen I might as well also make a cleanser. Once I decided to make a cleanser, I chose to make it a liquid. Liquid cleansers are less drying and can more easily achieve pH balance. However, liquid cleansers never lathered enough for me. I like a nice lather with my cleanser. So I asked several manufacturers for the impossible--a pH neutral liquid cleanser that lathers well. After trying 11 or 12 samples, the winning manufacturer came through with a carefully combined ingredient list which achieved an exact pH of 5.5. Since the pH of human skin is about 5.5, the result is a cleanser that leaves the skin in an even harmony without over drying or stripping the skin. And it lathers well! I was thrilled. I also made sure there were no perfumes or dyes. If you're looking for a colored or scented cleanser, this is not the one for you. Instead, it is as simple as possible--a neutral pH, a nice substantial feeling in the palm, a gratifying lather, and a clean rinse.

Does it take off makeup?
Yes, it works at removing makeup. Jojoba oil may be superior for this, however.

Who makes it?
The same manufacturer who makes Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide makes our cleanser. They are a high-end manufacturer known for using only the highest quality raw materials. I tried six different manufacturer's cleanser samples, and when I tried this one, it was a no-brainer. I immediately decided to move forward with it.

Why is it so inexpensive?
My #1 goal is to make the Regimen accessible to everyone. That's why I decided to make large products at affordable prices. I can manage to price it affordably because you are ordering directly from me, and I do not advertise.
Unfortunately, the trade off of such a large product is that it can be more expensive to ship. But I think when you see how big the product is and find how long it lasts you'll realize it's worth the price. I make no money from shipping and handling charges.

How do I use it to shave?
You can use Acne.org Cleanser to shave just as you would a shaving cream. Dispense into your palm--I like 3-4 pumps--and get a nice thick lather going. Apply as shave cream and off you go. See the shaving FAQ for more detailed instructions.
