Hydrating creamy cleanser for dry and thirsty skin
A tight, thirsty feeling after cleansing is a sign that the cleanser not only removes dirt but also valuable moisture and lipids. For those with dry skin or sensitivity to barrier loss, the cleansing step makes the difference between skin that feels comfortable all day and skin that constantly demands care.
Cosmedix Crystal Cleanse is a creamy cleanser with Liquid Crystal Technology, the same technology found in Opti Crystal eye serum and Lumi Crystal. This technology mimics the skin’s natural lipid structure, allowing moisture to remain on the skin even after rinsing. Prickly pear extract and coconut oil support the formula with deep-nourishing properties, leaving the skin soft and hydrated.
Benefits
- Removes makeup, dirt, and sebum without disrupting the skin barrier
- Delivers long-lasting hydration thanks to Liquid Crystal Technology
- Nourishes and soothes the skin with prickly pear and coconut oil
- Provides a creamy, indulgent texture that feels comfortable
- Suitable for daily morning and evening use
Active ingredients
Liquid Crystal Technology: An advanced formulation technique where ingredients arrange themselves in a liquid-crystalline structure, similar to the natural lipid structure between skin cells. This structure ensures that moisture and active ingredients are released slowly and remain on the skin even after rinsing, providing a long-lasting hydrating effect.
Prickly Pear Extract: A plant extract from Opuntia ficus-indica, rich in vitamin E, fatty acids, and amino acids. Delivers intensive hydration to dry skin and helps maintain the natural moisture barrier, even in environmental conditions like dry air or air conditioning.
Coconut Oil: A nourishing oil that makes the skin soft and supple. Contains natural antioxidants and has soothing properties, which help with sensitivity or mild irritation on the skin surface.
Glycerine: A humectant that draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers to the skin surface. Provides immediate, noticeable hydration and enhances the long-lasting effect of Liquid Crystal Technology.
Peppermint extract: Provides a light, refreshing sensation during cleansing without stressing sensitive skin. Unlike the essential peppermint oil in other Cosmedix cleansers, this extract is milder and gentler for dry skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cleanser also remove makeup and sunscreen?
Yes, the creamy texture dissolves makeup, sebum, and sunscreen well. For heavy makeup or waterproof formulas, double cleansing is recommended: first Purity Solution Cleansing Oil to dissolve pigments, then Crystal Cleanse for a thorough second cleanse.
Does this cream cleanser also work for combination skin?
For combination skin, Crystal Cleanse can be used in the evening for deep hydration, while a lighter cleanser like Purity Clean or Benefit Clean is better suited for the morning. For a pronounced oily T-zone, this is not the first choice.
What makes Liquid Crystal Technology different from a regular hydrating cleanser?
In a classic cleanser, hydrating ingredients mostly wash away with the water. The liquid-crystalline structure of Liquid Crystal Technology, on the other hand, adheres to the skin and releases moisture slowly, even after rinsing. The result is skin that feels comfortable and hydrated for hours after cleansing.
Can I use this cleanser during a retinol or acid treatment?
Yes, especially during such a treatment, a hydrating cream cleanser like Crystal Cleanse is a valuable choice. The Liquid Crystal Technology supports the skin barrier, helping to soothe the drying effect and sensitivity caused by active ingredients.
