Face cleansers &
cleansing skincare

Yes, cleansing in the morning removes overnight sweat, sebum and any residue from night creams or serums. A lightweight formula is enough, as there is no makeup or heavy pollution to remove. Explore Lancôme skincare by skin type to find the most suitable lightweight morning cleanser for your specific profile. Only skip it if you have very dry or sensitive skin that feels tight after cleansing twice daily.

Double cleansing is worthwhile if you wear SPF, full-coverage foundation or long-lasting makeup. The first cleanse (oil-based or micellar water) dissolves makeup and sunscreen; the second (a water-based foam or gel) removes impurities from the skin itself. Explore all Lancôme foundations to understand which makeup formulas offer the greatest longevity and therefore benefit most from an evening double-cleansing routine. Lancôme's Bi-Facil works beautifully as a first-step eye makeup remover before a second, full-face cleanse.

Yes, harsh, sulphate-rich cleansers or over-cleansing can strip the skin of its natural lipids, leading to tightness, flaking and increased sensitivity. Explore Lancôme skincare by skin concern to find the most suitable barrier-respecting cleanser for your skin concern, whether dryness, sensitivity or congestion. Clarifique Pore Refining Cleansing Foam is formulated to cleanse without compromising the integrity of the skin barrier.
