L12 - Purifying Face Gel Cleanser

Concentrated with purifying active ingredients, this face gel cleanser helps clarify the skin, regulate sebum production, and reduce the appearance of blemishes.

  • A face cleanser suited to combination and oily skin

    The Purifying Face Gel Cleanser L12 is suited to all skin types. It is particularly recommended for combination to oily skin prone to blemishes.

  • A gel texture that forms a light, delicate foam

    The Purifying Face Gel Cleanser L12 is formulated with a base of gentle, biodegradable, naturally derived surfactants. They provide a delicate foam that cleanses the skin while respecting its natural balance.

  • A formula enriched with purifying active ingredients

    Zinc PCA:
    Zinc, combined with L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (PCA), is ideal for acne-prone skin. This natural active ingredient acts on three concerns: skin inflammation, excess sebum, and bacterial proliferation.

    Bamboo Extract:
    It naturally contains porous particles that absorb excess sebum on the skin. This high absorption capacity helps to reduce shininess.

    Inulin:
    Natural prebiotic fiber extracted from chicory root, hydrates the skin and rebalances the skin microbiota.

    Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil:
    Has antibacterial properties and limits the formation of blemishes. It gives this cleansing gel its fresh and aromatic scent.

    Very satisfied

    4/5/26

    I use it every day after removing my makeup. It’s effective, doesn’t dry out the skin, and cleans it perfectly. I hardly ever have any blemishes.

    Translated from French.

    Perfect cleansing gel

  • Jennifer M. Verified buyer

    Clean and Effective!

    4/20/26

    I love this cleanser! This is my first time getting anything other than makeup from this brand, and I absolutely love this cleanser and will for sure order it again. It's clean, which I always make sure, and it's light and suddsey, does a very effective job cleansing without stripping and my skin feels very nice afterwards. Non drying and also not leaving you wanting a second rinse. I sometimes do a double cleanse, but only when I choose to exfoliate afterwards, so I use this as either my first or only cleanse each day. I'm in my mid 40s and have sensitive skin and there's no irritation or negative results, like breakouts, from using. I have combo skin and this does well with that and with pores and brightening.

    gem cleanser nugget

    35-44 years old 12/13/25

    This cleansing gel is a gem; despite having very sensitive and reactive skin, I can use it, even every day, without any negative reactions from my skin. It seems to clean the pores well.

    Translated from French.

  • Anonymous Verified buyer

    Really not bad.

    18-24 years old 10/13/25

    Quite an effective product. It quickly addressed the small irregularities on my cheeks (in just under 2 weeks). I was able to see such quick results with my pores, and after more than a month, I noticed a significant effect on blackheads. It takes patience, but I highly recommend it. It doesn't dry out the skin and doesn't cause the tightening effect that I've experienced with other cleansing gels. I paired this product with peppermint hydrosol and the purifying face cream, which I believe also played their part.

    Translated from French.

Keep the essential.
