What does a 3 in 1 Cleanser do?
Each 3 in 1 Cleanser cleanses, gently exfoliates and balances skin pH in one step, so you need no separate toner. Beauty Book 2026 (pp. 12–13).
What makes each one different?
- 3 in 1 Cleanser – Dry keeps comfort in the cleanse. Carbomer/Papain Crosspolymer, a papain enzyme, gently exfoliates for brighter, smoother-looking dry skin, four forms of hyaluronate hydrate at multiple depths, and Calanthe Discolor (Ebine) Extract, the orchid stem cells, improves the appearance of sagging and drooping.
- 3 in 1 Cleanser – Normal to Dry pairs Canarium Indicum (Nangai) Seed Oil and Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil with Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract for gentle exfoliation, with Lactobacillus Ferment for probiotic ferment care.
- 3 in 1 Cleanser – Normal to Oily lifts excess oil, impurities and makeup without a stripped feel, with Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, a sulfate-free surfactant, and Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Powder to help unclog pores.
- The probiotic option. Microbiome Correcting Cleanser helps balance skin and strengthen its barrier with Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, which supports natural Hyaluronic Acid. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) regulates excess oil for balanced-looking skin. Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum Fruit Ferment Extract brightens, soothes and supports elasticity. It combines Niacinamide, Gluconolactone, Salicylic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid) with its ferments for an oil-aware, soothing, comfortable, hydrated rinse.
The Normal to Oily formula has an origin story too. The Normal to Oily skincare carries Bacillus Ferment from an acid-loving microorganism sampled from Spain’s Rio Tinto, the acidic, iron-rich river astrobiologists call “Mars on Earth”; it helps rehydrate skin, minimize water loss and give skin a firmer-looking appearance in 3 in 1 Cleanser - Normal to Oily, DayTime Moisturizer – Normal to Oily and Evening Moisturizer – Normal to Oily, which come together in the Normal-Oily SkinCare Regimen Set. Epilobium Angustifolium (Willow Herb) Extract comes from fireweed, among the first plants to appear after Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980. It helps calm reactive, breakout-prone skin in 3 in 1 Cleanser - Normal to Oily, DayTime Moisturizer – Normal to Oily and Evening Moisturizer – Normal to Oily. See fireweed’s skin and scalp care. See the Rio Tinto ferment or explore SeneGence’s extremophile ingredients. In an independent eight-week study, the Normal-to-Dry 3 in 1 Cleanser, DayTime Moisturizer and Evening Moisturizer, used together as a regimen, improved measured hydration by 28.62% at eight weeks. See the regimen study or its hydration findings.
How do I use them?
For any 3 in 1 Cleanser, gently massage onto a moist face and neck morning and evening, rinse thoroughly and follow with Climate Control and the rest of your routine. For Microbiome Correcting Cleanser, massage about a dime-size amount onto a damp face, neck and décolletage, rinse thoroughly and repeat the evening cleanse if needed; then follow with Climate Control, Microbiome Boosting Serum and any other treatments, then Microbiome Defense Daytime Moisturizer SPF 15 or Microbiome Restorative Evening Moisturizer. Remove long-wear makeup with its own remover first. See how to remove long-wear makeup.
Is there a cleanser for the body?
Moisturizing Body Wash is a ceramide rich, sulfate-free lathering gel that gently cleanses without stripping skin of moisture, leaving skin feeling fresh and hydrated. Beauty Book 2026 (p. 49). Squeeze onto your palm or a body poof, lather, cleanse and rinse. Moisturizing Body Wash. Next, choose your face moisturizers.
