Gentle cleanser for sensitive and dry skin
Sensitive skin often reacts to the smallest detail in the routine, and the cleansing step is a common cause of irritation. Classic cleansers contain sulfates like SLS that produce a lot of foam but also damage the skin barrier and worsen redness, dryness, and sensitivity. For those with rosacea, eczema, or hyperreactive skin, this is a reason to often distrust cleansers.
Cosmedix Benefit Clean is a sulfate-free gel cleanser that gently cleanses without stressing the skin barrier. The formula contains herbal amaranth, a plant-based protein that helps retain moisture in the skin, and is enriched with antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage during cleansing. Suitable for daily use, even after professional treatments or peels.
Benefits
- Cleanses gently without disrupting the skin barrier
- Suitable for rosacea, hyperreactive, and post-procedure skin
- Removes makeup and sebum without a dry or tight feeling
- Sulfate- and SLS-free, without harsh detergents
- Prevents moisture loss thanks to herbal amaranth and glycerin
Active ingredients
Herbal amaranth: A plant-based, gluten-free protein rich in a complete amino acid profile. Helps retain moisture in the skin and supports the natural moisture barrier, which makes the difference between comfortable and tight skin after cleansing, especially for dry or sensitive skin.
Gluconolactone (PHA): A polyhydroxy acid that works gentler than classic AHAs or BHAs, thanks to its larger molecular structure that does not penetrate the deeper skin layers. Provides mild exfoliation and antioxidant protection during cleansing without irritating sensitive skin.
D-glucuronolactone: A building block of hyaluronic acid and a precursor of vitamin C that supports the skin in retaining moisture and its natural defense against free radicals. Leaves the skin feeling fresh and hydrated after cleansing.
Grapefruit oil: A refreshing essential oil with a light, uplifting scent that sensorially contributes to the comfort of the cleansing step. Naturally contains antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental stress.
Sandalwood extract: A traditional soothing ingredient that calms the skin and helps reduce redness. Essential in a cleanser designed for reactive skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Benefit Clean also work for rosacea or very reactive skin?
Yes, Benefit Clean is particularly suitable for rosacea and sensitive skin due to the absence of sulfates, alcohol, and harsh detergents. The soothing effect of sandalwood and the barrier support from herbal amaranth make it a safe daily choice.
Can I use this cleanser after a chemical peel or professional treatment?
Definitely, especially after a peel or skin treatment, an extremely mild cleanser like Benefit Clean is recommended. The skin is extra sensitive during the first three to four weeks after treatment, and gentle cleansing supports the recovery process without further stressing the barrier.
Does this cleanser also remove makeup?
Yes, Benefit Clean effectively removes daily makeup and light SPF. For heavy or waterproof makeup, a double cleanse is recommended: first Purity Solution Cleansing Oil to dissolve pigments, then Benefit Clean as the second step for a complete cleanse.
What is the difference between Benefit Clean and Purity Clean?
Benefit Clean is a mild, non-exfoliating cleanser for sensitive and dry skin. Purity Clean contains 5% lactic acid and is exfoliating — designed for dull or oily skin. Those who alternate between both can use Benefit Clean on days when the skin needs rest and Purity Clean for days requiring deeper cleansing.
