A soap-free micellar foaming cleanser designed to gently remove daily impurities while supporting hydration, comfort and the skin barrier.
Gentle Clean Biofor is a gentle foaming facial cleanser formulated for dry, delicate and sensitive skin.
Its soap-free formula cleanses the skin without relying on SLS or parabens and contains lactic acid, apple-derived amino acids, aloe vera, allantoin, glycyrrhizin and mint leaf extract.
The lightweight foam helps remove excess oil, daily residue and impurities while supporting moisture retention and a calmer, more comfortable complexion.
Unlike an active exfoliating cleanser, Gentle Clean is designed primarily for regular cleansing and barrier-friendly care. It may be used in the morning, evening or whenever the skin needs gentle refreshing.
Personalized guidance from Shanni's Skincare can help determine whether Gentle Clean is the right cleanser for your skin type and complete routine.
It is especially useful when the skin needs:
• Effective cleansing without a stripped or tight feeling
• A soap-free cleanser for dry or sensitive skin
• Support for hydration during cleansing
• A gentle option alongside active skincare products
• A comfortable cleanser for morning and evening use
What Is Gentle Clean Biofor?
Gentle Clean Biofor is a micellar foaming facial cleanser designed to cleanse thoroughly while maintaining skin comfort.
Micellar cleansing technology helps surround and lift oil, impurities and daily residue from the surface of the skin so they can be removed more easily.
The formula combines cleansing agents with ingredients that help support hydration and comfort, including:
• Lactic acid
• Apple-derived amino acids
• Aloe vera
• Allantoin
• Glycyrrhizin
• Mint leaf extract
Gentle Clean is particularly relevant for skin that feels dry, delicate, reactive or uncomfortable after traditional foaming cleansers.
It is a rinse-off cleansing product and does not replace moisturizer, targeted treatment or sunscreen.
What Gentle Clean Helps Support
• Clean and refreshed-looking skin
• Removal of daily impurities and excess surface oil
• Comfortable cleansing without excessive dryness
• Improved moisture retention
• A calmer-looking complexion
• Better tolerance during active skincare routines
• A softer and smoother skin feel
• Support for delicate or sensitive skin
• Preparation for serums, treatments and moisturizer
• Daily cleansing without harsh scrubbing
Key Benefits
Provides Gentle but Effective Cleansing
The micellar foam helps remove surface impurities, oil and residue while minimizing the harsh or stripped feeling associated with some cleansers.
Supports Skin Hydration
Lactic acid, aloe vera and amino acids help support moisture retention and a softer skin feel during cleansing.
Suitable for Dry and Delicate Skin
The soap-free formula is designed for skin that may become tight, dry or uncomfortable after traditional cleansers.
Helps Calm Visible Irritation
Allantoin, aloe vera and glycyrrhizin help support a calmer-looking complexion and improved skin comfort.
Supports the Epidermal Barrier
Gentle cleansing helps preserve the skin’s natural balance, while allantoin and hydrating ingredients support barrier comfort.
Free From SLS
The formula does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate, making it a useful option for users seeking a gentler cleansing system.
Free From Parabens
Biofor describes the product as formulated without parabens.
Complements Active Skincare Routines
Gentle Clean may be especially useful when the rest of the routine contains exfoliating acids, retinoids, acne treatments or pigmentation products and the cleanser needs to remain gentle.
Key Ingredients
Lactic Acid
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid with exfoliating and humectant properties.
In Gentle Clean, it primarily helps support:
• Moisture retention
• A softer skin feel
• Improved cleansing performance
• A smoother-looking complexion
Because Gentle Clean is a rinse-off product, it should not be expected to provide the same exfoliating intensity as a leave-on lactic acid treatment.
Apple-Derived Amino Acids
Apple-derived amino acids may be used as gentle cleansing and conditioning agents.
They help support:
• Effective cleansing
• Skin softness
• Reduced tightness
• A comfortable post-cleansing feel
Glycyrrhizin
Glycyrrhizin is associated with licorice root and provides soothing and antioxidant support.
It may help:
• Calm visible redness
• Support irritated-looking skin
• Protect against environmental stress
• Improve overall skin comfort
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera helps hydrate and soothe the skin.
It supports a calmer and more comfortable complexion during and after cleansing.
Allantoin
Allantoin is a soothing ingredient that helps soften the skin and support the epidermal barrier.
It is especially relevant for dry, sensitive or temporarily irritated skin.
Mint Leaf Extract
Mint leaf extract contributes a refreshing sensory quality to the cleanser.
Users with extremely reactive skin or a known sensitivity to botanical extracts should still introduce any new product carefully.
Who Is Gentle Clean Best For?
Gentle Clean Biofor may be suitable for:
• Dry skin
• Dehydrated skin
• Normal skin
• Delicate skin
• Sensitive skin
• Mature-looking skin
• Combination skin that becomes tight after cleansing
• Acne-prone skin using drying treatment products
• Skin using retinoids or exfoliating acids
• Skin undergoing a pigmentation-focused routine
• Post-treatment skin during the appropriate recovery stage
• Users seeking an SLS-free cleanser
• Users seeking a soap-free foaming cleanser
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding skincare routines
Very oily skin with heavy sebum buildup may sometimes prefer a different Biofor cleanser, depending on sensitivity and the rest of the routine.
Gentle Clean vs. Soapless Soap
Both products cleanse the skin, but they may suit different needs.
Gentle Clean is primarily designed for:
• Dry or delicate skin
• Sensitive skin
• Comfortable daily cleansing
• Hydration support
• Active routines that need a gentle cleanser
• Users who prefer a soft micellar foam
Soapless Soap may be more relevant for:
• Skin that prefers a traditional cleansing texture
• Broader daily cleansing needs
• Selected oily or combination skin types
• Routines in which a stronger cleansing feel is desired
Gentle Clean may be the better choice when the skin feels tight, dry or easily irritated after cleansing.
The correct choice should depend on oiliness, sensitivity, makeup use and the active products in the routine.
Gentle Clean vs. Derma Peel
Gentle Clean and Derma Peel perform completely different steps.
Gentle Clean is a cleanser used to:
• Remove daily residue
• Wash the skin
• Prepare the complexion for the next steps
• Be rinsed or gently removed after use
Derma Peel is an active AHA and BHA toner used after cleansing to:
• Exfoliate accumulated surface cells
• Support oily skin
• Refine pores and texture
• Prepare the skin for selected acne products
Derma Peel does not replace Gentle Clean, and Gentle Clean does not provide the same active exfoliating function as Derma Peel.
Gentle Clean vs. an Exfoliating Cleanser
Gentle Clean contains lactic acid, but it should not be classified as an intensive exfoliating cleanser.
Its primary purpose is gentle daily cleansing.
A dedicated exfoliating cleanser or leave-on treatment generally contains active ingredients at a level and contact time intended to provide stronger renewal.
Gentle Clean may be a better option when:
• The routine already contains acids or retinoids
• The skin is sensitive or dehydrated
• Daily exfoliation would be unnecessary
• Barrier comfort is a priority
• The skin becomes tight after cleansing
How to Use Gentle Clean Biofor
• Wet the face with lukewarm water.
• Dispense an appropriate amount of foam into the hands.
• Massage gently over the face using circular motions.
• Focus on areas with sunscreen, excess oil or daily residue.
• Avoid aggressive rubbing or scrubbing.
• Keep the cleanser away from direct contact with the eyes.
• Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
• Pat the skin dry gently with a clean towel.
• Follow with the recommended serum, treatment and moisturizer.
• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.
Biofor also indicates that the cleanser may be removed with cotton or a damp cloth.
For full evening cleansing, especially after sunscreen or makeup, thorough rinsing with water is generally the most complete method.
Can Gentle Clean Be Used Twice a Day?
Yes. Gentle Clean may be used in the morning and evening when the skin tolerates twice-daily cleansing.
A typical routine may include:
Morning
• Gentle Clean
• Serum or treatment
• Moisturizer
• Broad-spectrum sunscreen
Evening
• Makeup removal when necessary
• Gentle Clean
• Targeted treatment
• Moisturizer
Some very dry or reactive skin types may only need a full cleanser in the evening and a lighter morning cleanse.
Can Gentle Clean Remove Makeup?
Gentle Clean may help remove light makeup and daily residue, but heavy, waterproof or long-wear makeup may require a separate first cleansing step.
A double-cleansing approach may include:
• Makeup remover or cleansing oil
• Gentle Clean as the second cleanse
Avoid repeatedly washing or scrubbing the skin in an attempt to remove stubborn makeup.
Can Gentle Clean Remove Sunscreen?
Yes, it may remove many daily sunscreens when massaged thoroughly and rinsed well.
Water-resistant, heavily layered or tinted sunscreen may require a separate first cleansing step before Gentle Clean.
The skin should feel clean and comfortable afterward, not tight or stripped.
Can Gentle Clean Be Used Without Water?
Biofor indicates that Gentle Clean may be removed with cotton or a damp cloth as an alternative to full rinsing.
However:
• Use clean, soft material.
• Avoid repeated rubbing.
• Make sure product residue is removed thoroughly.
• Rinsing with water may be more suitable after makeup, sunscreen or heavy residue.
• Very sensitive skin may prefer gentle rinsing over friction from cotton pads.
Can Gentle Clean Be Used With Active Ingredients?
Yes. Gentle Clean may complement routines containing:
• Retinol and other retinoids
• AHA and BHA treatments
• Azelaic acid
• Acne treatments
• Benzoyl peroxide
• Pigmentation products
• Vitamin C serum
• Peptide serums
• Professional renewal products
Because the cleanser is designed to remain gentle, it may help avoid adding unnecessary exfoliation to an already active routine.
If the skin becomes persistently dry or irritated, the full routine should still be reassessed.
Can Gentle Clean Be Used With Acne Treatments?
Yes. Gentle Clean may be useful in acne routines when treatment products already provide significant activity.
A gentle cleanser may help prevent unnecessary stripping and support better tolerance of:
• Azelight+
• Azo Care
• Azelight
• Kure
• Derma Peel
• Retinoid products
• Benzoyl peroxide
The cleanser itself is not a primary acne treatment and should not be expected to clear acne on its own.
Can Gentle Clean Be Used After a Peel or Professional Treatment?
Gentle Clean may be appropriate during the recovery stage after selected professional treatments because of its gentle and soothing positioning.
It may sometimes be used after:
• Chemical peels
• Microneedling
• Laser or IPL
• Waxing
• Other procedures that temporarily increase sensitivity
The correct timing depends on:
• Whether the skin barrier is intact
• The intensity of the procedure
• The amount of redness, heat or peeling
• The treating professional’s instructions
Immediately after more intensive procedures, cleansing instructions should come from the professional who performed the treatment.
Before Adding Gentle Clean to Your Routine
• Gentle Clean is a cleanser, not a leave-on treatment.
• It should not replace moisturizer or sunscreen.
• Avoid using very hot water.
• Do not scrub the skin with cleansing brushes or rough cloths.
• Heavy makeup may require a separate first cleanse.
• Rinse thoroughly when removing sunscreen or significant daily residue.
• Sensitive skin may still react to individual botanical ingredients.
• More foam does not necessarily provide better cleansing.
• Persistent tightness after cleansing may indicate that the routine is too drying.
• The cleanser should leave the skin feeling clean but comfortable.
Can Gentle Clean Biofor Be Used During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding?
Yes. Gentle Clean Biofor is permitted for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Its gentle, rinse-off formula may be useful when hormonal changes make the skin feel drier, more sensitive or more reactive.
During breastfeeding:
• Do not use it directly on or near the nipple unless the area is rinsed thoroughly before nursing.
• Prevent direct infant contact with visible cleanser residue.
• Stop use if irritation or an allergic reaction develops.
Professional Tip
Gentle Clean Biofor may be especially useful when the treatment routine is already active.
When the skin uses acids, retinoids or acne treatments, the cleanser does not also need to create a strong exfoliating or drying effect.
A cleanser should remove what needs to be removed while leaving the skin comfortable enough to tolerate the products that follow.
Use lukewarm water, gentle circular motions and enough cleansing time to remove residue—without repeatedly rubbing the skin.
