Product information

KEY BENEFITS

  • Cleanses and calms skin without stripping natural oils
  • Protects against dryness
  • Soothes and hydrates itchy, sensitive skin

WHAT IS GLYCERIN?

A natural humectant and skin-conditioning agent, glycerin attracts moisture to the skin’s surface, helping maintain hydration and enhance softness and suppleness. Derived from plant-based sources, glycerin is a gentle and effective ingredient. It is entirely non-comedogenic – ideal for sensitive, congested, and dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin. Its soothing properties help alleviate irritation and redness, and its compatibility with all skin types ensures sensitive skin remains balanced, moisturised, and comfortable with every use.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMER SAY ABOUT IT?

“So far overall redness of my skin has improved. And I don’t find the product irritating at all. I think the difference for me is really a lot when looking at last week’s picture. I’m really happy with it so far.”
– Dairine

THE BEST FORMULA EVER!

the texture of this product is unlike any other i’ve felt before! it’s creamy, rich, and so calming to the skin. this is the best cleanser for people with highly sensitive and dry skin and i love how it’s even pediatrician and midwife approved so it’s safe for children as well!

Literally saved my skin

Thank you so much for developing the new Essentials Facial Cleanser, it has literally saved my skin. I’ve been suffering from shedding skin for over a month now like every time I’d rub my face all this dead skin would come off. I had a feeling it was down to over exfoliation . I had tried so many things to make it better and nothing was working. I bought this product having read up about its benefits for the skin barrier. I’m not lying when I say I noticed an improvement literally after the first use!! My skin felt so soft and nourished after weeks of hell! I’ve only been using a week today and my skin is like new, it’s healed considerably and no longer shedding as it was. Thank you so much for making my skin better as it was really getting me down and I hope there’s plans to bring it out in a bigger size someday!!

This is like liquid gold.

It’s genuinely amazing.

For me personally it’s psoriaisis and I would not use anything else. Pestle and Mortar just feels so natural on the skin especially if you suffer from dry sensitive skin.

So grateful ???? ❤️❤️

Such a clean product

My initial thoughts were, it feels like such a clean product. No scent or sensation of irritation upon applying. I think it’s definitely best placed as the second product in a double cleanse situation if you’re removing makeup. Because it lacks oil, I find it struggles to remove eye makeup as quickly or as well as Pestle & Mortar’s Erase does but is perfect as a morning cleanser to give your skin that lovely fresh feeling.
