Most cleansers focus solely on removing impurities but can strip the skin's natural protective oils and disrupt the microbiome in the process. Young Goose Adaptogenic Cleanser uses adaptogenic botanicals that actively support the skin's stress response during cleansing, ensuring your skin finishes clean, calm, and balanced rather than tight or depleted. Is this cleanser suitable for all skin types? Yes, the gentle, barrier-respecting formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, oily, and combination skin. It cleanses effectively without causing the tightness, dryness, or reactivity that harsh cleansers can trigger. Can I use this cleanser with my other Young Goose products? This cleanser is specifically designed to pair with the rest of the Young Goose lineup. By preserving barrier integrity and prepping the skin properly, it ensures that treatment products like Vampire Exosomes, Blue Peptide Spray, and L.A.D.R. absorb more effectively and deliver better results. Do I need to double cleanse with this product? No, the formula is effective in a single wash. It emulsifies with water to lift makeup, sunscreen, and environmental residue without requiring a separate oil cleanse first. One thorough application is sufficient for a complete cleanse. How often should I use this cleanser? Use it twice daily: once in the morning to remove overnight buildup and once in the evening to clear the day's impurities, sunscreen, and makeup. Consistent use supports ongoing barrier health and optimal product absorption. Does this cleanser remove makeup and sunscreen? Yes, the formula is designed to emulsify and lift makeup, sunscreen, and environmental debris effectively. For heavy or waterproof makeup, you may benefit from a brief pre-cleanse with a gentle oil or balm, but for most daily wear, Adaptogenic Cleanser handles it in one step. Cleansing is the foundation of any effective skincare routine, and Young Goose Adaptogenic Cleanser ensures that foundation is solid. Unlike stripping foams or harsh gel cleansers, this formula uses adaptogenic botanicals to lift dirt, oil, and impurities while actively supporting the skin's natural protective barriers. Your skin finishes cleansed, not depleted.
