The Ritual
More than a cleanse. A first step in skin renewal.
This gentle cleanser does more than remove makeup, sunscreen and impurities — it’s proven to help Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Capsule serums absorb better into skin1 from the very first step.
The gel-to-foam formula purifies and minimises pores, leaving skin feeling nourished, soft and smooth. It boosts hydration and enhances skin’s natural glow. Amino acids gently exfoliate, prickly pear extract smooths and hydrates, and ceramides support barrier strength. Sulfate-free, non-stripping and safe for all skin types, even sensitive.
