FAQ
We know skincare can be tricky, especially when it comes to biotech. Here are some quick answers to common questions. Need more help? Our customer service team is here for you!
How often should I use the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser?
For optimal results, use the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser twice daily, in the morning and evening. It helps to maintain clean, healthy skin without disrupting your skin’s natural balance.
How does the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser compare to other cleansers?
Unlike many traditional cleansers that often contain harsh surfactants like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), which can strip the skin of its natural oils and lead to dryness or irritation, the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser uses ultra-gentle amino acid-based surfactants. These skin-identical surfactants are designed to clean effectively while preserving your skin’s natural moisture and barrier. They provide a thorough cleanse without compromising your skin’s hydration, ensuring a soft, balanced feel after every wash. This makes the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser an ideal choice for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin.
Can the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser remove makeup?
The Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser is effective at removing light to moderate makeup, including everyday products like foundation and powder. Its amino acid-based formula creates a gentle lather that lifts away makeup and impurities without stripping your skin. For more stubborn or waterproof makeup, we suggest using our Purifying Enzyme Cleansing Balm first. This balm is designed to break down and dissolve heavier makeup and sunscreen, allowing the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser to follow up with a deeper, more effective clean.
Is the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser suitable for all skin types?
Yes, the Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser is suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. Its gentle, hydrating formula helps to balance and cleanse the skin without causing dryness or irritation.
What are amino acids?
Amino acids are like the building blocks for your skin. Just as bricks make up a wall, amino acids come together to form proteins that keep your skin strong and healthy. In skincare, they help maintain your skin’s moisture, support its natural barrier, and improve its texture. This is why they’re great in products like our Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser, which cleanses your skin gently while keeping it hydrated and balanced.

- LELaura E.Rated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoEasy and gentle on skin
All I can say is Wow! My skin did not feel dry after using this cleanser which some others can - making you quickly add a moisturiser to feel better (please note I did use afterwards). It was very easy to use and It felt gentle on my skin and did not leave any redness. A little went a long way and it’s now part of my daily routine.

I found that the sumanurica amino acid gentle cleanser really was gentle on the skin and left my skin feeling smooth and supple. It did give my skin a thorough clean but was still refreshing. My skin feels more hydrated and a little of the product does go a long way. It does it job!
