Clarifying Gel Cleanser 200ml – Gentle Oil-Control Cleanser for Balanced Skin
Product description
Oily and combination skin needs a gel face wash that removes excess sebum and impurities thoroughly - without stripping the skin so aggressively that it triggers even more oil production in response. The BelleVie Clarifying Gel Cleanser 200ml is formulated to do exactly that: an aloe vera base soothes and maintains hydration during cleansing, fruit extracts provide antioxidant support, and a gentle oil-controlling formula removes impurities and excess sebum without compromising the skin barrier - leaving skin feeling fresh, clear, and balanced rather than tight or stripped. A lively citrus scent with soft floral notes makes it a genuinely pleasant daily ritual.
Suitable for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin. Allergen-free, vegan, gluten-free, and EU-made. ECOCERT certified.
