EltaMD Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser

$36.00

Best For

Sensitive, reactive, post-procedure, or barrier-compromised skin needing a thorough yet gentle cleanse without irritation.

What It Does

Removes sunscreen, makeup, pollution, and excess oil while calming redness and visibly strengthening the skin barrier — leaving skin clean and balanced, yet not stripped.

Why It Works

Formulated with a patented complex of three amino acids (AAComplex) that cleanse while keeping skin calm and soothed. A gentle cleansing system of amino acid surfactants, lactylate, and alkyl polyglycosides removes impurities without disrupting the barrier, while bisabolol and ginger root extract visibly reduce redness. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, oil-free, dye-free, and non-comedogenic — and clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce water loss in as little as seven days.

How to Use

Morning and evening, massage 1–2 pumps of the foam directly onto damp skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.
