A pH 5.5 foaming cleanser from Axis-Y — 34 reviews, 4.8 stars, fragrance-free, and a repeat purchase for Anita who calls it mild enough for every morning. The formula contains Aquaxyl, a patented anti-dehydration technology, so skin stays moisturized during and after cleansing rather than just getting clean. Rinse with lukewarm water — hot water causes dryness. 120ml.

• pH 5.5 — Why Skin Doesn't Feel Stripped — most foam cleansers are alkaline (pH 8–10), which disrupts the skin's naturally acidic barrier and causes the tight, dry feeling after washing; this cleanser is set at pH 5.5, matching skin's own acid mantle exactly; the coconut-derived surfactants (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate + Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate + Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate + Coco-Betaine) clean effectively without alkaline disruption — why Susan doesn't get dried out and Rachel's combo skin feels balanced
• Aquaxyl — Patented Anti-Dehydration Technology — Aquaxyl is a patented Sederma ingredient made from xylitol, xylitylglucoside, and anhydroxylitol derived from birch wood; it increases the skin's own production of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate (two key Natural Moisturizing Factors), improves barrier lipid and protein synthesis, and limits water loss — essentially a moisture-boosting step built into the cleanse itself; this is why skin feels moisturized rather than just clean after rinsing
• Birch Sap 2,000ppm + Perilla Leaf + Heartleaf + Rice Bran — birch sap at the stated 2,000ppm strengthens the barrier and balances sebum; perilla leaf is rich in rosmarinic acid, one of the most potent plant anti-inflammatory compounds; heartleaf adds antibacterial and anti-inflammatory support; rice bran delivers antioxidants and brightening gamma-oryzanol — four active botanicals working during the brief contact time of a cleanse
• Centella + Chamomile + Licorice + Calendula + Green Tea — centella boosts barrier repair; chamomile promotes skin regeneration; licorice soothes irritation and eczema-prone skin; calendula speeds blemish healing; green tea removes impurities while delivering antioxidant protection; nine botanicals total in a $12.50 cleanser is exceptional value

Gently massage a small amount onto slightly damp face. Rinse with lukewarm water — avoid hot water as it causes dryness. Fragrance-free. 120ml.
