What is Dr. Grandel 2-in-1 Cleansing Foam?
Dr. Grandel 2-in-1 Cleansing Foam belongs to the Cleansing series, Dr. Grandel’s dedicated line of face washes, toners and exfoliants. The German brand built this line to prep skin before the rest of a skincare routine.
As its name signals, this foaming wash does two jobs at once. For one thing, it removes the day’s dirt and oil the way a standard cleanser would. Meanwhile, mild fruit acids work alongside the surfactants to gently refine the skin’s surface. According to Dr. Grandel, the result is a deep-down clean, clarified feeling with a more even complexion over time.
Key benefits of Dr. Grandel 2-in-1 Cleansing Foam
- Cleanses and refines together: combines gentle surfactants with fruit acids so a single wash both removes impurities and smooths texture.
- Deep-down clean feeling: formulated to leave skin feeling thoroughly cleansed rather than just surface-rinsed.
- Supports an even complexion: over time, regular use is intended to help even out tone and refine the look of pores.
- Foaming, easy-rinse texture: a light foam that’s simple to work into wet skin and then rinse clean.
Key ingredients
The refining effect comes from a duo of AHAs. Because of its small molecular size, Glycolic Acid has a notably intensive exfoliating action on rough or congested skin. In addition, Tartaric Acid brings an astringent, pore-refining quality that Dr. Grandel highlights for blemish-prone, large-pored skin.
The cleansing base relies on Decyl Glucoside and a family of laureth and oleth sulfates. Dr. Grandel formulates these as mild surfactants for gentle daily cleansing. Finally, Xanthan Gum helps give the wash its foaming consistency.
How to use Dr. Grandel 2-in-1 Cleansing Foam
- Wet the face, neck and décolleté.
- Spread the foam over the skin with moist hands, keeping it away from the eye area.
- Massage briefly to work the cleanser in.
- Then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Finally, follow with a Dr. Grandel toner and the rest of your regular routine.
This wash contains hydroxy acids. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day while incorporating it into your routine. Also, avoid contact with the eyes.
Who it is for
Dr. Grandel positions 2-in-1 Cleansing Foam for combination and oily skin. That means skin that benefits from a light exfoliating step built into daily cleansing, rather than a stand-alone weekly treatment.
Retail size vs. professional size
This listing is the 400 ml (13.5 fl oz) professional bottle. Because of that volume, it suits a salon’s daily client turnover. It also suits anyone who wants a long-lasting supply at home without repurchasing every few weeks. In addition, it brings the cost per wash down compared to smaller retail bottles of the same formula.
