If you’ve ever used a cleanser that left your skin tight, dry, or irritated, you know how frustrating it is. That’s why we’re excited about Circadia Lipid Replacing Cleansing Gel — it’s a thoughtfully designed formula that cleanses without stripping, so your skin stays balanced, calm, and ready for the next steps in your routine.
What Circadia Says About It
This cleanser is all about revitalizing your skin while preserving its natural strength. It’s a non-irritating foaming gel with a slightly acidic pH, meaning it removes dirt, makeup, and excess oil without damaging the skin barrier. It’s best suited for normal to slightly oily skin types.
That pH balance is a big deal—too alkaline, and you risk making your skin more vulnerable. Circadia built this formula to respect skin’s natural environment.
How It Works & Ingredients We Love
- Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Soothes, supports skin repair, adds smoothness.
- Allantoin: Gentle anti-irritant that calms and helps protect against sensitivity.
- Mallow Leaf Extract: Anti-inflammatory and soothing, especially when skin feels reactive.
- Seaweed (Laminaria japonica) Extract: Full of vitamins and minerals to nourish and support.
- Sacha Inchi Seed Extract: Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants — a nutrient boost for skin.
Because it uses mild surfactants (like Stepan Mild PCL) and is balanced for skin pH, it has a gentle but effective cleansing action.
Why We Love It for Our Clients
In the studio, we see a lot of cleansers that do “too much” — they strip all oils, leaving skin tight or irritated. This one strikes a smarter balance: it cleans but doesn’t overdo it.
We’ve recommended it to clients with combination or slightly oily skin who worry about dryness or barrier damage. It’s also great for people doing more active treatment plans (retinoids, acids) who still need something gentle for daily use.
Because it’s gentle, it’s also a good candidate for those doing virtual routines — you don’t have to worry about harsh reactions from this cleanser when clients follow your plan from home.
How to Use It
- Morning and/or evening, dispense a small (almond-sized) amount to your fingertips.
- Apply to damp skin, gently lather — no need to scrub.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Pat dry, then follow with your next steps (serums, moisturizers, etc.).
Avoid contact with eyes — as with all active skincare, be gentle in delicate areas.
Final Thoughts
The Lipid Replacing Cleansing Gel is one of those foundation products: it sets the tone for your entire skincare routine. Use something that supports your skin, not something that stresses it.
