Sulphate-free gel cleanser for oily skin

What Is Rise + Shine Gel Cleanser?

Rise + Shine is a sulphate-free gel cleanser for oily skin, made for oily, combination, acne-prone and sensitive skin.

If your skin constantly feels greasy, battles breakouts, or suffers from redness and irritation, your cleanser might not be doing enough. Harsh formulas can strip away moisture, making skin overcompensate with more oil, which leads to even more breakouts and inflammation. Rise + Shine removes dirt, bacteria, sunscreen and excess oil without dryness or irritation. Infused with natural coconut and apple surfactants, it deeply cleanses while keeping skin balanced and refreshed.

What Your Skin Gets

Rise + Shine is made for skin dealing with clogged pores, bumpy whiteheads, inflammation, breakouts, redness or excess oil. A 60-second massage clears buildup from inside the pores without stripping the skin, since stripping the skin actually makes acne worse.

Best for these skin concerns

  • Clogged pores and bumpy whiteheads
  • Breakouts and inflammation
  • Redness and irritation
  • Excess oil and shine
  • Buildup from sunscreen and light makeup
  • Sensitivity paired with oiliness

Suitable for oily, combination and sensitive skin

The gentle, sulphate-free gel formula is suitable for oily, combination, acne-prone and sensitive skin.

It deeply cleanses without dryness or irritation, so it won't strip skin the way many oily-skin cleansers do.

Key Ingredients

Lactic Acid

Gently exfoliates and unclogs pores while maintaining hydration, unlike harsher acids like salicylic acid. It cleans pores without the irritation that stronger exfoliants can cause.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Delivers deep moisture and helps calm sensitive, irritated skin, promoting a calm, hydrated complexion even during a breakout.

Allantoin

Known for its soothing and healing properties, it helps maintain a healthy, calm skin barrier.

Foaming Apple Surfactants

Natural and sulphate-free, these coconut- and apple-derived surfactants provide a gentle foaming action that cleanses without stripping moisture, making it ideal for sensitive and reactive skin.

How To Use

Not Sure Where To Begin?

Your skin reflects your environment, hormones, stress, and nutrition. It can be tough to understand what’s at play, but Diana, a holistic facialist, is here to help.

In a 1-on-1 virtual consultation, you'll learn to listen to your skin, calm inflammation, and create a personalized routine to heal and nourish from within.

After photo Skin Consultation
"Diana’s virtual consultation genuinely changed my life. I was defeated by my acne flair-ups, I spent $500 to see a dermatologist and was prescribed Spironolactone and an antibiotic but I wasn’t seeing results."

"My skin still felt tight, hot, and inflamed. Since I’ve had skin problems as a teen, I was determined to get to the root of my flair ups. I decided to pull the trigger and set up an appointment.

Within minutes Diana was able to pinpoint the cause of my oily/dry acne-prone skin and suggested a simple hydrating routine. Within DAYS I saw a major improvement in my skin and my confidence. She suggested the gentle cleanser, skin water, and beauty sleep mask but I think the cherry on top was the small sample of the barrier cream she tossed in.

I’ve been using her suggested routine for 3 months and I have never felt better about my skin, I promise you will not regret your virtual consult—she has a wealth of knowledge that is so niche and extensive. Next up is getting a facial with her magic touch!"
