Maltese Cross Technology: Delivers ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in the 1:1:1 ratio found in a healthy skin barrier, the same pattern your skin uses to hold moisture in and keep irritants out.
Cleanses Without Stripping: Coconut-derived amino acid surfactants lift away dirt, oil, and sunscreen while barrier lipids stay behind, so skin feels clean instead of tight.
Made For Dry, Sensitive, and Reactive Skin: Formulated for skin that feels squeaky or uncomfortable after washing.
Gentle, Low-Foam Lather: Creates a soft lather that rinses clean without the harshness of a traditional foaming cleanser.
Dermatologist Developed: Created by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann and recommended by dermatologists.
Coconut Amino Acids: Coconut-derived amino acid surfactants that lift away dirt, oil, and sunscreen. Far gentler than sulfates, so they clean without stripping the barrier lipids underneath.
Sunflower Seed Oil: High in linoleic acid, which makes it one of the most reliably anti-inflammatory oils. It hydrates and helps other ingredients absorb.
Ceramides: Lipids that make up the skin barrier alongside cholesterol and fatty acids. Dry skin does not produce enough on its own, which is why replacing them matters.
Linoleic Fatty Acids: One of the strongest natural soothing ingredients in skincare and a core component of the skin barrier. It helps skin stay calm during cleansing.
Cholesterol: One of the three lipids your skin barrier is built from. Research shows barrier formation would be impossible without it.
Use morning and evening. Apply a pea size of the cream to wet face and gently massage in a circular motion over the entire face forming a foaming lather. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. Follow with the appropriate Zerafite Moisturizer.
"This face cleanser is for dry skin types who have an impaired barrier. It helps deposit soothing lipids on the skin. This is one of the cleansers that I prefer for my Baumann Skin Type 4: DSNW Skin. You can also use it to shave your face, body and legs. It helps prevent skin irritation from shaving."

I’ve been using this product exclusively for years. I have sensitive acne prone skin and this is the only cleanser that doesn’t strip my skin or break me out.
I can't say enough about this cream cleanser. It is unlike any other cream cleanser I have used before in that it foams up when I massage it onto my face. This cream cleanser leaves my face hydrated and squeaky clean. It has a slight citrus scent that is very refreshing, especially in the morning. I have dry, sensitive skin and have always used cream cleansers, but this one from Zerafite is absolutely amazing. Also, a little goes a long way. I used about a pea-sized amount of it, and it foamed up nicely to cover my entire face. Highly recommend this cleanser and will definitely order again.
I have grown so tired of facial cleansers claiming to be "creamy," only to find after purchasing that they are far from it. But... this one actually is! I use it on my face with a facial brush and my face actually feels really clean after cleansing. The unscented formula is mild enough for sensitive skin and it has really improved a dry patch of skin that I've been struggling with keeping moisturized this winter with just one week of use. This product definitely lives up to all of its claims and I will absolutely be purchasing it again.
This cleanser works as advertised. I'm actually pretty impressed by it because I have rosacea and most facial cleansers immediately cause my skin to start burning, but this one hasn't bothered my skin at all. Highly recommend.
The Zerafite Creamy Cleanser lives up to its name. Just a small amount lathers up to a rich cream. It feels soothing and comforting as it gently cleanses my face. My skin feels soft, smooth, and pampered after washing. I'm impressed how a pea sized amount can generate so much creamy lather. This stuff is concentrated and should last a while. It also has a pleasant scent and rinses off easily. It's sulfate and paraben free, non-comedogenic, fragrance and dye-free, and seems to be made with wholesome ingredients. It's ideal for sensitive skin types and does a great job calming my skin after I shave. It also cleansers without drying out my skin. It's an all-around excellent cleanser.
this cleanser is excellent. A small amount lathers up quickly and gently but effectively cleanses. There is a light scent, which disappeared upon rinsing. My skin is typically dry and this cleanser did a great job when combined with my regular moisturizer.

Gentle cleanser for dry hands
I am using this Zerafite Soothing and Calming Creamy Cleanser for my hands. The eczema on my hands is irritated with most hand soaps, so I decided to try this cleanser. I am pleased with the soothing feeling when washing and the softness afterward.

Fantastic creamy cleanser
This cleanser doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped, but also doesn't feel like it leaves any kind of residue after the fact. This is a great daily cleanser, and I also love that this product is fragrance and dye-free.

Thick, creamy, non-irritating
This cleanser is very thick and creamy as well as not irritating to my skin. It barely makes any lather, so don't expect bubbles or foam. I have patches of eczema and this does not irritate it. It does cleanse the skin as well as makes it feel moisturized. I appreciate that it is unscented. I recommend this and will continue to use it.

Nice mild cleanser
I have sensitive skin and it commonly reacts badly to new products. No reactions so far and I have been using it for a few weeks. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and silky smooth. I still apply my serums and creams after cleansing, but I do notice a difference in my skin tone. It's not as red after washing like some other products leave my skin. I will continue to use this and most likely reorder.

Works great
A little goes a long way. When the directions say a pea-sized amount, that really is all you need. It felt like a lot of cream cleansers in the beginning, but after adding a tad more water, the lather was amazing. I don't really wear makeup, so cannot judge the removal effect. The scent was very light and pleasant. My skin did not feel dried out and I did not have any flakiness. I will continue using this cleanser.

Very gentle - Excellent for people who have sensitive and dry skin
This facial cleanser is excellent for people who have sensitive and dry skin. It does have a faint floral herbal scent, but did not bother my allergies. I like that you only need to use a very small amount to clean your face, so this tube should last a while. Once applied, it lathers up nicely. It does clean the skin, but does not strip it as much as other facial cleansers I have used before. I like to use it when getting up in the morning. Because it is so gentle, I don't think it is fantastic for removing things such as eye makeup. Due to this, I use a makeup remover slash strong cleaner during the evening slash night instead. I would not say that this product actually moisturizes the skin, but I did feel that my skin was not drier after having used it.

A very nice cleanser
I really like this cleanser. It is a no-nonsense makeup remover that is thick and rich and leaves your face clean and not tight feeling. I will say that it does not lather up well, but honestly, you really don't need lather to get a clean face. The fragrance to me smells exactly like Dove soap. In fact, the whole thing seems like a cream version of Dove soap. Because of this, I would say that for the price, you might be just as happy buying a bar of Dove when you compare the price of one bar to the high price of this cleanser. Overall, though, it is a nice product for a person with mature dry skin who doesn't want sulfates or parabens in their products.
