A cleanser that strips away too much oil and moisture leaves the skin tight and dull, so your serum and cream feel less comfortable afterwards. Especially when your skin is losing firmness or quickly feels dry, you want cleansing to give something back rather than only take away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Massada Skin Advance Cleansing Gel combines a thorough cleanse with three active ingredients, each with its own role. Hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture, betaine supports the skin barrier against water loss and AHAs help loosen dead skin cells for a fresher complexion. The gel lathers lightly with water and leaves the skin soft, even and ready for the next step. It is the cleansing step of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lifting-hyaluronic-acid\"\u003eMassada Lifting Hyaluronic Acid\u003c\/a\u003e line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleanses thoroughly, removing sebum, dirt and the traces of the day without leaving the skin feeling stripped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyaluronic acid helps the skin retain moisture during and after cleansing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetaine supports the skin barrier and helps limit water loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAHAs help loosen dead skin cells for smoother, more radiant skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepares the skin so that toner, serum and cream absorb comfortably afterwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eActive ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHyaluronic acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin and can bind a large amount of water. In a cleanser, it leaves a thin layer on the skin that helps hold on to the moisture that would otherwise be lost when rinsing. As a result, your skin feels supple rather than tight after cleansing, which makes a noticeable difference for dry or mature skin in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetaine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Betaine is a natural substance obtained from sources including sugar beet. It acts as a humectant that helps maintain the water balance in the skin cells, and it is known as a mild, skin-friendly ingredient in cleansing products. Massada uses betaine to protect the skin barrier and help prevent water loss, so cleansing does not dry out the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAHAs (alpha hydroxy acids):\u003c\/strong\u003e AHAs are fruit acids that loosen the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface. This allows those cells to shed more easily, leaving the skin smoother and the complexion more even and radiant. In a rinse-off cleanser, AHAs work briefly and gently, like a soft daily exfoliation rather than an intensive peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnriched with botanical actives:\u003c\/strong\u003e Massada also lists collagen, pomegranate enzymes, aloe vera, calendula, jojoba, avocado, chia, rosehip oil, centella asiatica, horse chestnut and Dead Sea minerals for this formula. This blend of soothing plant extracts and oils contributes to the soft, comfortable feel after cleansing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the gel morning and evening on a face you have first moistened with lukewarm water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake a small amount and emulsify the gel with a little water between your hands first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMassage over your face and neck in circular motions, avoiding the eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse thoroughly with water and pat the skin dry with a clean towel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/massada-milky-elixir-toner-200ml\"\u003eMilky Elixir Toner\u003c\/a\u003e and then your serum and cream, and finish your morning routine with sun protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormal to dry skin that quickly feels tight after cleansing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature skin showing a loss of firmness and a dull complexion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin that would benefit from a gentle daily exfoliation for a more even complexion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone using the Lifting Hyaluronic Acid line and looking for a matching cleanser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes this cleansing gel also remove make-up?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight make-up, such as a tinted cream or powder, comes off well with the gel. If you wear full-coverage foundation or waterproof mascara, a double cleanse works better: first an eye make-up remover or cleansing balm, then the gel. That way you don't need to rub, and your skin gets completely clean in two gentle steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs a gel with AHAs suitable for daily use?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Massada recommends using it morning and evening. Because you rinse the gel off, the AHAs only work briefly and the exfoliation stays mild. If you already use a peel or a serum with acids or retinol, watch for signs of over-stimulation such as redness or stinging, and in that case use the gel only in the evening for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo I need sun protection when using this cleanser?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, daily sun protection remains important. AHAs remove dead skin cells from the surface, which can make the skin more sensitive to UV light. So always finish your morning routine with an SPF, even on cloudy days and in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy is a toner a logical step after this cleanser?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter rinsing, your skin is clean and receptive, and a toner replenishes moisture right at that moment.
