Jumbo cream cleanser for dry skin with BioReplenish Complex
Once you have experienced that a cleanser does not have to dry out but can actually nourish, you usually don’t want to give up this step. Winter is over, but dry skin remains. Heating, air conditioning, hard water, and age itself ensure that the skin barrier needs extra support all year round. For those who have already embraced Intensive Moisture Cleanser as a regular cleansing step, the 295ml jumbo size is the logical next step.
The jumbo size offers double the content of the standard bottle, at a noticeably better price per milliliter. Good for about six months of uninterrupted daily use, twice a day. Also ideal for households where multiple people use the same cleanser, or for those who like to have one bottle in the bathroom and a second pump in the guest room or at the travel beauty station.
Benefits
- Double the content of the standard size, with a more favorable price per milliliter
- Enough for six months of twice-daily cleansing
- Practical large package for households with multiple users
- Less packaging material per milliliter, a more sustainable choice
- Suitable for use as a gentle body wash in addition to facial cleansing
Active ingredients
BioReplenish Complex (Ceramide NP, Phytosterols, Hexapeptide-9): With twice-daily cleansing over a period of six months, this complex has time to structurally contribute to the skin barrier. The ceramides continuously replenish what the skin might lose with each wash, while phytosterols and peptides strengthen the skin structure in the long term. It is precisely this cumulative effect that makes the difference between short-term use and an established routine.
Murumuru seed butter: A rich butter from the Amazon rainforest that is interesting in this large package because it also works well on body skin. Murumuru melts at skin temperature and forms a light film that hydrates for a long time. For those who, besides the face, also suffer from a dry neck, dry décolleté, or dry hands, the jumbo size offers enough to include these areas in the daily routine.
Hydrogenated Coconut Acid & Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate: The combination of mild cleansing agents from coconut and glutamic acid cleanses without damaging the skin barrier. In the larger size, this ingredient duo is especially important because daily exposure to harsher cleansers causes cumulative skin thinning. By cleansing long-term with this formula, the skin actually recovers and becomes less reactive.
Hydrolyzed Cottonseed Protein: Plant proteins that remain on the skin and form a thin protective layer. With daily use over months, this ingredient contributes to noticeably smoother skin texture. The skin feels softer after each cleansing and looks more even.
Shea butter, sweet almond oil, safflower seed oil & jojoba esters: A blend of plant lipids that complement each other in their fatty acid composition. Linoleic acid from safflower and oleic acid from almond are essential fatty acids that the skin learns to use more efficiently with daily use. This is one reason why long-term use of this cleanser makes the skin less dependent on heavy moisturizers over time.
Essential oils of citrus, palmarosa, jasmine, and geranium: Besides their aromatherapeutic effects, these oils contribute to the sensory experience of the routine. A generous pump at the sink means this daily moment of self-care also has space to become a calming point in the day, especially in the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price difference per milliliter between 150ml and 295ml?
The 295ml jumbo size contains almost double the product for a price lower than two separate standard bottles. The savings vary by retailer, but the jumbo is always the most cost-effective choice for those who already know the cleanser and that it suits their skin.
Does the formula remain stable for six months after opening?
Yes. The pump packaging is designed to keep the formula protected from air and light, the two factors that can affect ingredients like essential oils and lipids. Store the bottle in a cool place, out of direct sunlight, and below 25 degrees Celsius.
Can I also use this as a body wash for my dry skin?
Yes. Many users report that they deliberately buy the jumbo to use it both for the face and body, especially on dry areas like lower legs, elbows, and neck. The nourishing formula also makes it suitable as a mild body wash, but do not use it as shampoo or in the intimate area.
Is the 295ml size convenient to use in the shower?
The pump is sturdy and suitable for use in the shower or at the sink. Some users keep the jumbo at the sink and dispense a small travel bottle for on the go or in the shower.
What if the pump doesn’t pick up everything at the end?
An airless pump usually dispenses 95% of the contents. For the last milliliters, you can stand the bottle upside down or carefully unscrew it and use a spoon or spatula to get the rest. It’s a good sign that it’s time for your next bottle.
Can I use this product after a skin treatment or peel?
Absolutely. Especially after exfoliating treatments, microneedling, or a professional peel, the skin needs extra nourishment and barrier support. Intensive Moisture Cleanser is a safer choice during that period than a foaming or acid-containing cleanser.
How do I know when I need a replacement bottle?
With twice daily use, the jumbo runs out after about six months. For those who also share the bottle with a partner, family members, or use it on the body, this may be shorter. Stock up on a second bottle when the current one still lasts about three weeks.
