What is Dr. Grandel Purigel?
Dr. Grandel Purigel is an everyday cleansing gel from the Dr. Grandel Cleansing series. The brand designed it as a straightforward, foaming daily wash.
On its own, the formula is a light gel. However, when you combine it with a little water in your hands, it transforms into a delicate, easy-to-spread foam. The foam then lifts away dirt particles and make-up.
According to Dr. Grandel, the finish is fresh and clear. The brand also notes the neutral, unisex fragrance makes it a particular favorite with men looking for a straightforward daily cleanser.
Key benefits of Dr. Grandel Purigel
- Gel-to-foam formula: a light gel that transforms into a delicate foam when mixed with water, for easy, even application.
- Thorough daily cleanse: removes dirt particles as well as make-up for a deep-down clean feeling.
- Fresh, clear finish: formulated to leave skin looking refreshed rather than stripped.
- Neutral, unisex scent: a fragrance profile Dr. Grandel notes is especially popular with men.
Key ingredients
Purigel’s cleansing base relies on a family of Mild Surfactants. These are active washing substances that Dr. Grandel specifically designs and tests for gentle yet thorough daily cleansing. For example, the family in this formula includes Sodium Laureth Sulfate and PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate.
Hydroxyethylcellulose helps give the gel its texture and foam-building character. In addition, Pentylene Glycol adds a light humectant quality to the rinse-off formula.
How to use Dr. Grandel Purigel
- Apply with slightly moistened hands to face, neck and décolleté.
- Use in the morning and evening.
- Then massage in gently to work up a light foam.
- Finally, wash off again with lukewarm water or a warm, damp wash mitt.
For external use only. Also avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Who it is for
Dr. Grandel recommends Purigel for normal, combination and oily skin. Specifically, the brand recommends it for skin looking for a straightforward, everyday foaming cleanser without a heavy fragrance.
