Perricone MD The Simple Soothing Regimen
Works for
CleansingCocamidopropyl betaine, Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate + 9 moreCleanses gently
“This foaming cleanser is designed to effectively remove dirt and oil without stripping skin of essential moisture.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteareth-30, cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl stearate, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, polyglyceryl-4 caprylate/caprate, polyglyceryl-4 laurate/sebacate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside

Ingredient callouts
- We are excited that this product contains Cannabidiol, or CBD (0.05% - 0.30%). CBD is a new active in cosmetic products, and the studies on its effect in skin are still going on. CBD is one of the compounds in the cannabis plant. It does not have any psychotropic effects. When used topically, CBD can bind to skin cell receptors and "change their behavior". It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also might be able to reduce acne.
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.05% - 0.25%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
- Humectants (glycerin 0.10% - 0.45%, glycerin 4.40% - 6.50% and betaine 0.10% - 0.35%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
