Mario Badescu Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser — 6 fl oz hydrating, non-drying face wash with aloe & fermented black tea

Mario Badescu Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser is a lightweight, hydrating face wash that removes surface impurities and lightweight makeup while leaving skin feeling balanced and non-drying.

This gentle foaming cleanser combines antioxidant-rich fermented black tea with soothing aloe vera, chamomile, evening primrose extract, and glycerin to offer a refreshing, balanced cleanse for all skin types. The lather is soft and airy, designed to lift away excess oil and environmental grime without stripping skin’s natural moisture barrier. Free from parabens, dyes, phthalates, alcohol, added fragrance, and sulfates, it’s a simple option for everyday use and pairs well with additional Mario Badescu treatments.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and impurities without drying out skin?

The formula creates a gentle foam that dissolves lightweight makeup and surface oils while botanical humectants restore hydration. Ingredients like glycerin help retain moisture as the cleanser rinses away dirt, so skin doesn’t feel tight or stripped after use.

• Soft foaming action lifts debris and light makeup
• Glycerin and aloe vera maintain moisture balance
• Non-stripping surfactants for comfortable rinsing

What active botanicals are included and what do they do?

Fermented black tea provides antioxidant support and a subtle brightening effect, while chamomile soothes and evening primrose extract helps support skin comfort. Aloe vera delivers immediate hydration and calming benefits during and after cleansing.

• Fermented black tea: antioxidant support and brightness
• Chamomile extract: calming botanical comfort
• Evening primrose: moisture-supporting botanical lipid
• Aloe vera: hydrating, soothing gel-like extract

How do I use this cleanser in a daily routine or double cleanse?

Dampen the face, then massage a small amount into skin using circular motions and fingertips, focusing on areas with oil or makeup. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and follow with your preferred Mario Badescu toner and moisturizer. For a deeper clean, start with a cleansing oil, then follow with this gentle foam as the second step.

• Step 1: Wet face, massage cleanser into skin
• Step 2: Rinse thoroughly with warm water
• Step 3: Apply toner and moisturizer; or use after cleansing oil for double cleanse

Is the product suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Formulated without common irritants like added fragrance, alcohol, sulfates, parabens, and dyes, this cleanser is built to be gentle on sensitive skin. Because it offers a hydrating, non-drying clean, it can be compatible with many acne-care regimens, but patch-testing and consulting product-specific guidance is recommended for active treatments.

• Free from fragrances, alcohol, sulfates, parabens, and dyes
• Cruelty-free and vegan formulation made in the USA
• Gentle enough for daily morning and evening use

Who is this for? This foaming facial cleanser suits anyone seeking a lightweight yet effective daily wash—especially those who want a clean feel without dryness.
