Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does "anhydrous" mean, and why is it beneficial?
Anhydrous means the formulation is completely water-free. Because it does not rely on a water base, the balm can deliver its rich botanical lipids and calming active nutrients in a highly concentrated form. This ensures it cleanses your skin efficiently without needing harsh, stripping detergents or drying chemical foaming agents.
Is this balm suitable to use right after a chemical peel or laser treatment?
Yes. The IMAGE MD Gentle Cleansing Balm was developed specifically with a physician-led focus to support post-aesthetic treatment recovery. Its low-friction, non-stripping balm-to-milk profile allows vulnerable, recovering skin structures to be cleaned without disrupting the delicate healing process.
Will this oil-rich balm cause breakouts or leave a greasy residue?
No. While it is highly emollient to replenish extra-dry skin layers, the formula transforms into a completely water-soluble milk. It rinses away thoroughly with water, taking all dissolved surface impurities with it and leaving zero heavy or pore-blocking residue behind.
Does it contain any synthetic fragrances or artificial dyes?
No, the cleanser is formulated carefully for sensitive skin barriers and does not contain artificial dyes or harsh synthetic perfumes, minimising the risk of allergic contact flare-ups or skin flushing.
