Why Cleansing Balance Matters
Winter is the season when skin becomes drier, tighter, and more reactive than usual. Cold temperatures, indoor heating, and low humidity weaken the skin barrier, making it more vulnerable to irritation. This is why more people seek out a non-stripping cleanser, one that purifies without compromising comfort, hydration, or barrier health.
Cleansing is the first and most essential step in every skincare routine yet it’s also the easiest to get wrong.
Many traditional foaming cleansers:
- disrupt the skin’s pH.
- strip away essential lipids.
- leave the skin tight, dry, or irritated.
A compromised barrier can trigger increased sensitivity, dullness, and even breakouts. That’s why a ph balanced facial cleanser that supports the skin’s natural ecosystem is crucial, especially in winter.
The LAC Cleansing Mousse +PHA is formulated precisely for this balance: deep cleansing + barrier support + hydration, delivered in an ultra-light, soothing foam.
Introducing LAC Cleansing Mousse +PHA
For gentle, hydrating cleansing
Meet the new LAC Cleansing Mousse +PHA: a next-generation gentle foaming cleanser designed to clean, hydrate, and protect, specifically formulated to combat the stress of colder months.
A next-generation PHA cleanser powered by Lactobionic Acid, soothing Aloe Vera, and a 72-hour hydrating sugar complex.
It acts as a gentle daily cleanser, effectively removing makeup, urban pollution, and impurities without stripping the skin.
The result? Skin that feels clean, soft, fresh, balanced, and never tight — even in the peak of winter.
Why This Cleanser Is Different
✔ Ultra-light Texture: An airy mousse that rinses clean.
✔ Non-Stripping: Removes impurities without causing dryness.
✔ pH Balanced: Supports the skin’s natural pH.
✔ Winter-Ready: Ideal for sensitive skin and dehydrated complexions.
✔ Treatment-Safe: Works beautifully to cleanse and prep the skin before your microneedling routine.
Unlike many foaming cleansers that leave the skin feeling dry or squeaky, LAC Cleansing Mousse +PHA leaves the skin comfortably renewed — clean, not stripped.
The Power of PHA: Lactobionic Acid
PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) are the future of gentle exfoliation. Lactobionic acid, in particular, offers all the benefits of AHA/BHA exfoliants but without the irritation.
Benefits of lactobionic acid (PHA):
- Gently Exfoliates: Removes dead skin cells without abrasion.
- Deeply Hydrates: Draws moisture into the skin.
- Strengthens Barrier: Fortifies the skin against external stressors.
- Soothes: Reduces redness and signs of sensitivity.
This makes our cleansing mousse the ideal cleanser for sensitive skin, dry skin, or post-treatment care where AHAs and BHAs might be too aggressive.
