The Next Generation of Gentle Cleansing
Elevate your daily regimen with the EltaMD Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser. While the legacy foaming cleanser focused on deep purification, this advanced formula is engineered with a proprietary AAComplex (Amino Acid Complex) to actively repair a damaged skin barrier while you cleanse.
Why It’s a Step Above:
- Barrier Recovery: Clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce water loss within 7 days.
- Post-Procedure Essential: Gentle enough for skin recovering from chemical peels, laser treatments, or surgery.
- Redness Relief: Infused with Bisabolol and Ginger Root to instantly calm irritation and visible redness.
- pH Balanced: An oil-free, pH-balanced formula that removes makeup and pollutants without stripping natural lipids.
Key Performance Ingredients:
- AAComplex: A specialized blend of three amino acids that repairs skin damage and restores the moisture barrier.
- Bisabolol: A concentrated chamomile extract that minimizes skin sensitivity.
- Ginger Root Extract: A potent anti-inflammatory that improves skin tone and texture.
- Apple Amino Acids: Provides a rich, cushiony foam that cleanses without the "tight" feeling of traditional soaps.
The Piazza Center Protocol:
As part of our Baseline Protocol (Cleanse, Serum, Moisturize, Protect), this cleanser serves as the critical first step. It prepares the skin to better absorb high-performance treatments like Exosomes or Vitamin C serums.
Dye-free, Fragrance-free, Paraben-free, and Non-comedogenic. Safe for all skin types, including highly reactive and acne-prone skin.
How to Use:
Apply 1-2 pumps to damp skin. Massage gently in circular motions and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat dry with a soft towel.
