Description
Lightly foaming, non-stripping cleanser that thoroughly removes mineral sunscreen / 5 oz full size & 1 oz travel size
Colorscience Barrier Pro 1-Step Cleanser is the perfect summertime — really anytime, but especially summertime — lightly foaming cleanser.
If you’re wearing water-resistant mineral sunscreen (hope so) or makeup, you’ll probably find that it’s hard to wash off unless you’re double-cleansing…but sometimes, that just feels like a bridge too far. Our favorite thing ever for one-step sunscreen and makeup removal is Dara’s Water — more on that here — but if you miss the traditional creamy, foamy cleanser experience, this will be your new go-to.
Barrier Pro is a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic cleanser designed to thoroughly remove makeup and mineral sunscreen in a single step. Suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive, the lightweight gel formula lightly lathers and somehow thoroughly removes the most tenacious mineral sunscreen while respecting skin’s pH balance, so it doesn’t leave you feeling stripped or overly dry.
If you do like double-cleansing from time to time, or your skin tends to be on the dry side, Barrier Pro can easily move to be your second cleanser after your favorite cleansing oil or cleansing balm.
You can use it in the morning on its own, too; check out our suggestions under “To Use” below, because it differs based on whether or not there’s mineral sunscreen and/or makeup on your face.
One more thing to love: it’s available in both a travel size and a large size (which you’ll want to keep by your sink so that you can use it with abandon). We're major fans.
How to Use
For an evening cleanse (or anytime you’re wearing makeup and/or sunscreen): Wet hands, but leave your face dry! Dispense 2-3 pumps onto wet hands. Apply product to dry face and massage into skin to remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. Add a small amount of water to increase emulsification. Then, add more water to face and hands; cleanser will begin to bubble. Thoroughly cleanse for at least 1 minute, spending approximately 15 seconds each on forehead, cheeks and nose, chin, and eye area, adding more water if desired. Avoid getting cleanser into the eyes. Rinse thoroughly.
