Neutralize face wash for oily skin – a gentle oily skin cleanser that respects your skin barrier
If your skin often feels greasy yet tight or sore after washing, it may be a sign that your cleanser is too harsh. When skin is stripped, it can respond by producing even more oil and shine. Our award-winning Neutralize face wash for oily skin is designed to break this cycle. It offers a light, refreshing cleanse that lifts away daily build-up without leaving your complexion feeling dry or uncomfortable.
This natural face wash for oily skin creates a soft lather that helps to wash away excess sebum, SPF and light makeup so your skin feels fresh, balanced and comfortable. It is a vegan face wash made with plant-based ingredients, carefully chosen for oily, combination and problem skin that can also be easily upset by stronger products.
Neutralize Face Wash for Oily Skin was the winner of the sensitive/problem skin category in the Platinum Awards, making it a trusted option if you are looking for a more gentle oily skin cleanser that still leaves your face feeling thoroughly clean.
“Great results. I have been using the Neutralize Face Wash and have noticed great results very quickly. My skin is so much clearer and blemish free and looks more radiant. I have also been using the exfoliator and moisturising samples that came with the face wash and they are also great. Thank you.” – Sarah
