Ageless Derma is a brand of physician-grade skincare and makeup products developed using advances in biotechnology and natural ingredients. The business was started 10 years ago by Dr. Farid Mostamand in conjunction with his Focus Med Spa in California where the focus is on non-invasive skincare techniques.
I’m a long-time fan of Ageless Derma products: Loose Mineral Foundation (review), Daily Mineral Guard Sunscreen (review), Stem Cell & Peptide Anti-Wrinkle Cream (review), and Special Clay Mask (review). So I was happy to have a chance to try the Oil Free Purifying Facial Cleanser Gel.
I have dry, sensitive skin, and I often use cream cleansers because I don’t want to strip my skin. I wondered how Ageless Derma Oil Free Purifying Facial Cleanser Gel would work with my particular skin issues? From its name, I thought it would be perfect for someone with oily skin, but maybe not for me.
Using the Cleanser
What was it like to use the cleanser gel? It’s a not overly thick (a good thing!), almost clear gel with a light citrus scent. It foams up and feels gentle on my skin. I wash it off, and my skin feels very clean and fresh. It doesn’t feel even the least bit tight or dry…though of course, I apply my serum and moisturizer afterwards. So I discovered that it was perfect for my skin, too!
Part of the Organic and Natural Product Line
Ageless Derma Oil Free Purifying Facial Cleanser Gel is part of the Ageless Derma Organic and Natural line, and it is made from natural and some organic ingredients. The Ageless Derma website, which I have always found extremely informative, gives a detailed description of the product and the origin and function of its key ingredients. It states that the cleanser is oil-free, and it doesn’t strip the skin of oils. I can attest to that!
Two key ingredients in the cleanser are organic aloe and organic chamomile extracts. Aloe was chosen as an ingredient because of its anti-inflammatory characteristics that calm and soothe skin that has been exposed to the sun. I hope I’ll have some left to use next summer, or I’ll have to buy more. In addition, aloe can stimulate cell growth and repair damaged cells. I often associate chamomile with gentleness, but it too has anti-inflammatory powers and is also an anti-oxidant that helps fight damage due to free radicals. Wow, this cleanser has some serious skincare benefits besides cleansing!

Have you tried any of the Ageless Derma products?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Glad to hear this works so well for you! I’m almost out of Kiehl’s cleanser so I’m looking for a good replacement.

I had been concerned about trying it, Melissa, because I have such dry skin, but it was a very good cleanser that I think would suit any skin type. I was a big Kiehl’s body lotion user for ages. Gotta go back to it one of these days.
I have a Mario Badescu cleansing gel I love!

excellent!
This sounds like a really effective cleanser! I’m so glad that it didn’t prove to be problematic for your dry skin! I suspect that the organic aloe and chamomile extracts were very helpful for your skin!

Yes, I think you’re right, Lola. I’ve loved all the Ageless Derma products I’ve tried, and this was the first one from their Natural and Organic line I’ve tried. Lovely!
I’ve been curious about Ageless Derma for awhile. This cleanser sounds great!

I’ve been very happy with all the products I’ve tried from Ageless Derma, Jamie!
I have also been using this cleanser on my oily skin, and I love it. It doesn’t strip my skin of the oils it needs – it just gently cleans it. Even though I have oily skin, I really dislike astringent cleansers.
I’m glad that you’ve had good results with the AD cleanser too, Nidia. It definitely is a gentle cleanser, the first product I’ve tried from their Natural and Organic line.
It’s good to hear that it’s okay for dry & sensitive skin too, I was wondering about that! 🙂
Jessica recently posted…Fair Maiden Polish swatches + review
Yes, it does probably because it has soothing ingredients like aloe and chamomile, and it’s from their Natural and Organic product line.
We have very similar skin! I like cream cleansers because I often need to add moisture back to my skin.

I agree. I usually prefer cream cleansers for the same reason. I was pleased to find out that this worked well with my sensitive dry skin…could be that it’s from their Natural and Organic line and has aloe and chamomile in it. Whatever it is, I’m happy my skin gets along with it!
A yes, stripping to much moisturize doesn’t feel that pleasant, glad this one doesn’t do that!

Yes, I was so happy to find that it doesn’t strip skin at all but just feels great. Gentle but it cleans!
Thanks for the review – glad this worked out for you 🙂

Me too, Kristin. I think the gentle aloe and chamomile ingredients as part of their Natural and Organic line make it gentler and great for all skin types.
Glad that it works well for you 🙂
Yes, it worked out fine 🙂
This sounds awesome! Definitely something I would love to try! Great review 🙂

We have the same type of skin Allison, I am also dry sensitive, this would be amazing for me.

This is one of my staple cleansers now, Norah, but when I want to splurge on a cleanser that’s deeply hydrating (but pricey!) I use another one that I’m reviewing on Monday. Stay tuned.
I have the same type of skin as you so I was happy to hear that you had a successful experience! I will have to try this out!!

Dani, I was relieved when I discovered how non-drying this oil-free cleanser from Ageless Derma’s Natural and Organic product line is. It’s a good cleanser: oil-free, gentle, natural, and affordable. 🙂
This sounds awesome!
It’s a good cleanser, Brooke! Nice natural & organic ingredients, no oil, gentle, and affordable!
This sounds great- I love that it’s got aloe. Sound like the perfect type of cleanser to use after a cleansing oil too.

What a great idea, Bailey! I’ll try it 🙂
I haven’t used anything from this brand before but it’s nice to know it worked for you. My skin is so sensitive that I’m always looking for products that can work for me. Great review – thank you.

From my experience, Honey, Ageless Derma’s products have been good for my dry, sensitive skin. And in their makeup range, they have lots of shades. I think they are a good company!
I’ve tried a few Ageless Derma products and overall I am impressed with the brand and haven’t had any issues. When my skin is freaking out I use theirs as a gentler and more calming routine
That’s great to hear, Lisa, that the AD products have worked for you when your skin is acting up. I was glad that it was fine for my sensitive, dry skin. I think the new Natural and Organic line is terrific 🙂
I really like gel cleansers and this sounds like a great one!

Me, too. The gel cleansers are so refreshing. I think the fact that it’s from Ageless Derma’s Natural and Organic line has made it so gentle.
I’m using a cleanser from Mario Badescu right now.

It’s a good cleanser, Betzy. I love that it’s part of Ageless Derma’s Natural & Organic product line and it’s oil-free too 🙂
I have sensitive skin as well that is more on the dry side although not dry. I’ll have to put this on my list of products to try!

I think this would be a wonderful one to try during the summer when we’ll all appreciate the oil-free benefit! But even now, it is not the least bit drying to my skin.
This sounds like a lovely cleanser!
