Should I pick the Woodsy Bergamot or Fragrance-Free version of Baptism Gel Cleanser?

If you love the sensorial experience of scented products, cleansers are one of the most gentle options as they are rinsed off the skin. If you have difficulty with fragrance or have reactive skin, the fragrance-free version was made for you.

Does Baptism Gel Cleanser remove makeup?

Baptism is perfect for removing non-waterproof makeup, sunscreen, and everyday living! If you’re wearing a full face of waterproof makeup, we recommend using an oil cleanser like Ethereal first and following with Baptism as a second cleanse.

Why doesn’t my skin feel “squeaky-clean” after using Baptism Gel Cleanser?

We designed Baptism to be deeply cleansing without stripping your skin barrier, which often results in that “squeaky-clean” feeling. This way, your skin doesn’t dry out and feels soft, fresh, and bouncy.

Is Baptism Gel Cleanser safe to use around the eye area?

Yes! Baptism is ophthalmologist-tested, safe for sensitive eyes, and safe for contact lens wearers. However, we do recommend avoiding any direct contact with your eyes.

Can I use Baptism Gel Cleanser with an oil-based cleanser?

Yes, if you wear waterproof makeup or just prefer to double cleanse, we recommend starting with an oil-based cleanser like Ethereal and following with Baptism as your water-based cleanser.

What is the pH level of Baptism Gel Cleanser?

Baptism falls at a 5.5 on the pH scale. At Dieux, we formulate with your skin's pH in mind. Your skin's average pH is slightly acidic, falling between 4.5-5.5. For everyday skincare products, using something that's closer to the pH of your skin won't disrupt your barrier.
