FAQ
What is the difference between the CALM Ultra-Gentle Cleanser and other Paula's Choice cleansers?
While all Paula's Choice cleansers are formulated to be gentle, the CALM Ultra-Gentle Cleanser was specifically formulated for sensitive, reactive or compromised skin types. This silky, gel-lotion contains soothing triglycerides, hydrating glycerin and prebiotic sugars that help to safeguard the skinβs delicate barrier. Itβs the perfect first step of any sensitive skin care routine.
What is the difference between the original CALM Redness Relief Cleansers for normal/dry and normal/oily skin and the new CALM Ultra-Gentle Cleanser for all skin types?
While the original CALM Redness Relief Cleansers for normal/dry skin and normal/oily skin contain a good mix of soothing ingredients, the CALM Ultra-Gentle Cleanser is a more targeted option for all skin types. This silky gel cleanser is even better suited for the specific needs of extra-sensitive, redness-prone skin. The extra-mild surfactants in the new formula produce a skin-softening lather that gently cleanses while the prebiotic sugars and hydrating glycerin support skinβs barrier to leave it soothed, hydrated and comfortable.
