What is Dr. Grandel Sensicode Cleansing Balm?
Dr. Grandel Sensicode Cleansing Balm is part of Sensicode, the brand’s dedicated line for sensitive and reactive skin. The brand’s standard cleansers suit general use. In contrast, Dr. Grandel formulated this balm specifically to cleanse skin that is prone to redness, tightness or irritation.
It removes make-up and everyday dirt with a soft, lipid-rich balm texture rather than foaming surfactants. As a result, skin feels clean without the tight, stripped sensation that harsher cleansers can leave behind.
Key benefits of Dr. Grandel Sensicode Cleansing Balm
- Built for sensitive skin: formulated within Dr. Grandel’s Sensicode line specifically for skin that reacts easily.
- Gentle make-up removal: cleanses face, neck and décolleté, and you can also use it undiluted to remove eye make-up.
- Nourishing, lipid-replenishing feel: Jojoba Oil helps support the skin’s natural lipid barrier as it cleanses.
- No stripped, tight finish: leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable rather than dry.
Key ingredients
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil is a stable, well-tolerated plant lipid. Dr. Grandel highlights it for protecting the skin and leaving it feeling pleasant and nourished. In addition, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil adds a smoothing, moisturizing quality.
Meanwhile, Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) supports the skin’s moisture level. It also has a soothing reputation that fits the formula’s sensitive-skin focus. Finally, Potassium Palmitoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and Glycerin round out the balm’s conditioning base.
How to use Dr. Grandel Sensicode Cleansing Balm
- Apply to dry face, neck and décolleté.
- Massage in with moist hands to emulsify the balm.
- Then rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- To remove eye make-up, apply a small amount of the undiluted balm to a dry cotton pad. Then gently wipe away make-up.
For external use only. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Who it is for
This balm is for anyone with sensitive, easily reactive skin. It suits those who want a cleanser gentle enough for daily use, without compromising on thorough make-up and dirt removal.
Retail size vs. professional size
This listing is the 200 ml (6.8 fl oz) professional tube. It is a larger format than the 75 ml retail tube Dr. Grandel sells to consumers. The bigger size suits salon back-bar use. It also suits a client who has already confirmed the balm suits their skin and wants a long-lasting supply.
