With a clean and dry index finger, scoop the gel to place a grape-sized amount on the palm of your hand. Wet your other hand, and rub your palms together to turn the gel into lightweight milk. Massage into your face and wash off with water, or use one of our skin tonics and a cotton pad to remove.
You can also use a warm damp towel to remove our cleansing gel.

FAQS
HOW DOES THE GENTLE CLEANSING GEL DIFFER FROM THE GENTLE CLEANSING OIL?
The composition of our Gentle Cleansing Gel and Gentle Cleansing Oil is identical. They differ only in the method of preparation that creates different texture.
The Gentle Cleansing Gel has a less oily feel and turns into a light cleansing milk when combined with water. The skin effect remains the same: hydrating and cleansing.
IS GENTLE CLEANSING GEL MORE SUITABLE FOR OILY SKIN?
Whether you select our Gentle Cleansing Gel or Gentle Cleansing Oil, the end effect and cleansing properties will remain the same. The difference is the feel.
The Gentle Cleansing Gel will have a less oily feel than the Gentle Cleansing Oil.
The Gentle Cleansing Gel is more compact, in smaller packaging, and thus more suitable for travel.
DOES GENTLE CLEANSING GEL CONTAIN ANY SLS AND SLES?
No, our cleanser is free from sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), synthetic compounds, or mineral oils.
HOW OFTEN CAN I CLEANSE WITH GENTLE CLEANSING GEL?
You can cleanse as often as desired, but we recommend at least twice a day, especially before your night skincare routine.
IS PHAEDRA'S GENTLE CLEANSING GEL VEGAN?
Yes. Our Gentle Cleansing Gel is vegan and cruelty-free as all Phaedra Botanicals products.
WHY CAN'T I USE SARA'S COOLING GEL CLEANSER DURING PREGNANCY?
We do not recommend using Sara’s Cooling Gel Cleanser during pregnancy due to Morrocan Chamomile (Blue Tansy essential oil), which is dense in enzymes that are not safe during pregnancy. Since Phaedra Botanicals does not carry any other products with essential oils, there are many options to select from; switch to Gentle Cleansing Gel or Oil while pregnant and breastfeeding.

YOU DO NOT NEED TOO MUCH

Every morning I wake up with a clear and radiant complexion. That is because I take care of myself and eat healthy food and use clean skincare. I rarely eat sweets, but when I do, I make sure cocoa is present in a high percentage. I have the same approach to what I apply to my skin, so I am using Phaedra Botanicals.
You do not need too much; little goes a long way with this brand. Yesterday I cleansed with a little scoop of Gentle Cleansing Oil and followed with a few drops of Ex Prūnīs. Super simple. I am in my late 30s and look forward to aging while caring for myself. Aging should not be taken as a disaster by women who are not afraid of little self-love and self-care.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

It is tough for me to find skincare products for my sensitive skin, but I have been using Phaedra Botanicals products for years, and they really helped, so when they released this cleanser, I had to try it. It works beautifully with my sensitive skin, does not irritate, and cleanses perfectly. If your skin is sensitive, definitely give it a try!
