Key ingredients

  • Hinokitiol

FAQ

 

Hydrating Cream Cleanser FAQ

Cream or gel cleanser: which is right for my skin?

Choose by skin type. Hydrating Cream Cleanser is a low-foaming cream for normal to dry and very dry skin. Refreshing Gel Cleanser is a low-foaming gel for oily and combination skin. Both remove dirt, sunscreen and everyday makeup without stripping your skin, and both are made for morning and night use.

Is it made for sensitive skin?

Yes. Developed by Dr. Rivers for sensitive skin, it's formulated without parabens and without added fragrance, including masking scents. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. Its low-foaming cream cleans without stripping the skin's essential oils, so skin is left feeling soft and comfortable. Your first full-product order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Will it leave my skin feeling tight?

No. It's a low-foaming cream made for normal to dry skin, so it lifts away dirt, sunscreen and everyday makeup without stripping the skin. Rinse with warm, not hot, water, and follow with your serum and moisturizer straight away.

Will it remove my makeup and mascara?

Yes, everyday makeup and sunscreen. For waterproof mascara or heavy eye makeup, start with Micellar Water, then cleanse. If you're wearing makeup, cleanse twice. That gets everything off without rubbing around your eyes.

Can I use it around my eyes?

Yes. Massage it gently over closed eyes and the brow area, then rinse well with warm water, or cool water if your skin feels sensitive.

How much do I use, and do I rinse it all off?

A dime-sized amount, morning and night. Wet your face with warm water, massage the cleanser over your face and neck in circles, then rinse it all off thoroughly. If you're wearing makeup, cleanse twice. More product won't give you better results, and too much can pill or feel heavy.

How long will one tube last?

About 3 months, used morning and night. The 180 mL tube holds enough for a dime-sized amount each time, and the 50 mL size lasts about 1 month. That's how long it takes to use up, not how long it keeps once opened.

What is hinokitiol?

Hinokitiol is our signature antioxidant, found naturally in the Pacific Red Cedar and studied for decades. It's a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with other skin-revitalizing properties, and in our formulas it helps to even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and correct dark spots.
