Valpure Gentle Foaming Cleanser
Description+
For All Skin Types
If you've given up on foaming cleansers because they leave your face tight, it's the lathering ingredient that leaves your skin feeling stripped and tight. Most foams use ones stronger than dry or sensitive skin can handle.
Valpure's formula is pH-neutral, so it cleans in the range your skin's own surface sits in and doesn't disturb that balance. It gets its lather from mild sugar-based cleansers, which lift oil and makeup at a lower strength than the standard ones.
The result is a soft, low lather that takes off your face makeup, dirt, dead cells and the day's buildup, and rinses away completely. Witch hazel, thyme and hops do the removing, cucumber cools, and green tea adds antioxidant defense.
It works for every skin type, which is unusual for a foaming cleanser.
Wet your face with lukewarm water, work a small amount into a lather in damp hands, then massage over your face for 30 to 60 seconds. It can go around the eyes, though keep it out of them. Rinse well, pat dry, and follow with your day or night cream. It won't remove eye makeup.
How to Use+
Wet your face with lukewarm water. Apply to your hands and work into a lather then spread evenly over the face. Massage in gentle circular motions for 30 to 60 seconds. It can be used around the eyes, but be careful not to get it into them. Rinse well with lukewarm water and pat dry, then follow with your day or night cream.
It does not remove eye makeup.

Our Philosophy
I go about [the formulas] in a very different way than a regular chemist. I always look for what conditions I’d like to correct. I look at what skin types and problems that I want to work with, and then I try to find the best possible ingredients that will work for the skin.
