LANEIGE Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser pH 5.0 — Hydrating, Barrier-Boosting Gel with Blue Hyaluronic Acid

LANEIGE Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser is a pH-balanced gel wash that cleanses lightly, preserves moisture, and supports the skin barrier without tightness.

This lightweight gel cleanser is formulated to respect skin’s natural acidity while removing everyday impurities like light makeup, sunscreen, and environmental grime. Infused with LANEIGE’s Blue Hyaluronic Acid and designed at pH 5.0, it aims to leave skin feeling hydrated and comfortable rather than stripped. The texture is silky and spreads easily, making it suitable for both splash-cleansing and emulsified makeup removal.

How does this cleanser protect my skin barrier while washing?

The formula is adjusted to pH 5.0, which closely matches healthy skin acidity and reduces the risk of disturbing the microbiome or lipid barrier. Gentle surfactants cleanse without aggressive stripping, and humectant-rich Blue Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture back into skin during rinsing.

• pH 5.0 balance to limit barrier disruption
• Mild cleansing agents instead of harsh sulfates
• Hyaluronic-boosting ingredient to retain hydration

Can it remove makeup and sunscreen effectively?

Yes — the gel lifts light complexion makeup and everyday sunscreen. For best results on base makeup, start on dry skin to break down product, then add water to emulsify and rinse fully. This two-step action helps avoid excessive rubbing while ensuring residue is removed.

• 1–2 pumps on wet skin for routine cleansing
• 2–3 pumps on dry skin to dissolve base makeup, then emulsify
• Rinses clean without leaving a filmy feel

Is this suitable for sensitive areas like around the eyes?

The cleanser is derm-tested and formulated to be gentle near the eye area, though it’s not a makeup remover intended for heavy eye cosmetics. Its soft gel texture minimizes irritation risk when used with light, non-waterproof eye makeup and careful application.

• Dermatologically tested for gentle performance
• Works on light eye makeup; avoid rubbing for waterproof products
• Non-drying after rinse, reducing eye-area tightness

How do I use this cleanser in my daily routine?

In the morning or evening, apply the appropriate amount based on whether you need makeup removal or a standard cleanse. Use a small pump, massage gently, and rinse thoroughly; follow with your usual toner or serum to lock in hydration.

• Daily cleanse: 1–2 pumps on wet skin, massage, rinse
• Makeup removal: 2–3 pumps on dry skin, emulsify with water, rinse
• Follow with moisturizer or treatment for best barrier support

Who is this for: LANEIGE Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser suits people seeking a mild, hydrating face wash that preserves the skin’s natural pH. It’s appropriate for all skin types—dry, combination, oily, and sensitive—especially for anyone who wants a no-tightness finish after cleansing or prefers a gentle gel texture that can handle light makeup and daily sunscreen without stripping moisture.
