Starting as a refreshing gel then morphing into a cushiony cream, this silky cleanser leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed.

Paula's Choice Defense Hydrating Gel-to-Cream Cleanser is formulated with a wide range of skin-restoring ingredients. Amino Acids are the building blocks of Peptides and proteins. Every amino acid has a specific role such as maintaining skin’s hydration, texture, resilience, and a healthy appearance. Lauric Acid is a fatty acid obtained from coconut oil and other natural fats which has calming and soothing benefits for the skin. Phospholipids are a type of lipid (fat) composed of glycerol, fatty acids, and phosphate which act as water-binding and skin-restoring agents.

Use morning and evening. Splash the face and eyes generously with water. Apply a small amount of cleanser to your face using vigorous yet gentle circular motions. Rinse well. Repeat or use with a clean washcloth to remove heavy makeup.
