✓ Vitamin C and E Cream Cleanser | ✓ Removes Make-Up Without Stripping | ✓ For Dry, Dehydrated and Sensitive Skin

IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser is IMAGE Skincare's bestselling cream cleanser: a soothing, make-up-removing wash that lifts away impurities while quenching skin with daily vitamins and antioxidants. With a stable form of vitamin C, vitamin E and the fresh scent of natural orange peel, it is the hydrating facial cleanser for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin that wants to feel soft and refreshed rather than stripped.

The vitamin C in IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser is sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a gentle, water-soluble form chosen so that skin picks up antioxidant support in the time it takes to cleanse. Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate and tocopherol) nourishes and helps defend against free radicals, grape seed extract and superoxide dismutase add further antioxidant back-up, and olive-derived emollients give the creamy, cushioned texture that dissolves make-up without foaming the skin dry. IMAGE has reformulated it to meet its clean clinical skincare standard, so there are no parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, artificial fragrances or synthetic dyes; the energising citrus aroma comes from natural orange peel.

Skin recovering after a professional peel or facial

Anyone starting IMAGE's VITAL C routine

Choose IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser if you want a gentle, creamy first step that leaves skin comfortable; if you prefer a gel texture, ORMEDIC Balancing Facial Cleanser is the brand's alternative.

Becci founded Adore Your Skin after more than two decades as a registered aesthetics nurse in specialist skincare and medical aesthetics, and the question she hears most from clients with dry or sensitive skin is why their face feels tight after washing. Her honest answer is usually the cleanser, and IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser is the one she recommends because it removes make-up properly without taking the skin's comfort with it.

FAQS

Is IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser good for dry and sensitive skin? +

Yes - that is exactly who IMAGE formulated it for. The brand lists it for redness-prone, dry and dehydrated skin and for skin after a professional peel. The creamy, non-foaming texture removes make-up and impurities without stripping moisture, so skin feels soft rather than tight.

Does VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser remove make-up? +

Yes. IMAGE describes it as a make-up-removing cleanser, and massaging it into damp skin for a full minute lifts everyday make-up, SPF and residue. For heavy or long-wear make-up, use BIOME+ Cleansing Comfort Balm first and follow with this cleanser.

Does it contain retinol or vitamin A? +

No. The current UK ingredient list carries no retinol or retinyl palmitate; its vitamins are vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) and vitamin E. That makes it a cleanser you can use morning and evening alongside any retinol routine.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser with retinol or acids? +

Absolutely. It is a gentle, rinse-off cleanser with no exfoliating acids, so it is a comfortable first step before AGELESS+ retinol products at night or a vitamin C serum in the morning.

Is it fragrance free? +

IMAGE states it is formulated without artificial fragrances. Its fresh citrus scent comes from natural orange peel oil, and the ingredient list also includes clove leaf oil, so if your skin reacts to essential oils, patch test first.

Do I need to rinse it off? +

Either works. IMAGE says to rinse with lukewarm water or tissue off, which is handy when you are travelling or when your skin is feeling reactive and you want to keep water contact to a minimum.

How long does the 177ml bottle last? +

Used morning and evening, a bottle typically lasts around three months - you only need a small amount worked into damp skin for one minute.

What is the difference between VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser and ORMEDIC Balancing Facial Cleanser? +

VITAL C is a cream cleanser with vitamins C and E aimed at dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin. ORMEDIC Balancing Facial Cleanser is a gel cleanser with organic botanicals for normal, combination and oilier skin. If your skin feels tight after washing, choose VITAL C.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

It is a rinse-off cleanser with no retinol on its UK ingredient list and is generally considered suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding. IMAGE Skincare recommends speaking with your healthcare professional before using any of its products while pregnant, so run the ingredient list past your midwife or GP.
