❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
--------------------------------------------------
Q: Is Special Cleansing Gel suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes! The soap-free, pH-balanced formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin. It cleanses thoroughly without causing irritation, dryness, or disrupting the skin's natural barrier.
Q: Can I use this as my only cleanser?
A: Absolutely. Special Cleansing Gel works great as a standalone daily cleanser. For a deeper cleanse (especially if you wear makeup or SPF), pair it with PreCleanse as the first step of a double-cleansing routine.
Q: Is it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
A: Yes. The gel formula effectively removes excess sebum and impurities without over-stripping, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types.
Q: Does it lather like regular soap?
A: It creates a light, gentle lather — not as foamy as traditional soap. This is intentional: the soap-free formula cleanses without disrupting the skin's pH or natural oils.
Q: How much product should I use per application?
A: A small amount (about a pea-sized to dime-sized amount) is enough for the full face and neck.
Q: Is this product safe during pregnancy?
A: The formula is free from parabens and artificial fragrances. However, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before introducing new skincare products during pregnancy.
Q: What is the shelf life of this product?
