Balancing Cleansing Emulsion is supported by 4 clinical studies and delivers many skin benefits: 

• Melts on contact with skin to effortlessly lift oil + impurities while protecting skin’s barrier
• Upon activation with water, it transforms into a milky fluid, rinsing clean with no residue
• Provides calming benefits for all skin types, including sensitized + post-treatment skin
• Is fragrance-, dye- and sulfate-free

Sensitized skin can be a temporary or chronic condition caused by a variety of internal + environmental factors such as the frigid temps + dry heat of winter or overly using aggressive skincare topicals.

At ZO®, we believe that "sensitive" skin is actually sensitized, weakened skin that needs to be strengthened by using the right products.

Sensitized skin and post-treatment skin are both compromised skin.  Sensitized is obtained through environmental factors, aggressive skincare topicals, etc.  Post-treatment skin happens after in-office treatments.  The use of Balancing Cleansing Emulsion can support skin's recovery.

Balancing Cleansing Emulsion can be used as a pre-cleanse to remove stubborn makeup + sunscreen followed by one of ZO's water-soluble cleansers suited for your skin type: Gentle Cleanser for all skin types, Exfoliating Cleanser for oily and acne-prone skin, or Hydrating Cleanser for normal to dry skin.

No, Balancing Cleansing Emulsion is also ideal for skin that's sensitized (due to seasonal influences, over-using aggressive skincare topicals etc).  It can also be used as a pre-cleanse to remove stubborn makeup + tenacious sunscreen followed by one of ZO's water-soluble cleansers for your skin type:  Gentle Cleanser for all skin types, Exfoliating Cleanser for oily + acne-prone skin or Hydrating Cleanser for normal to dry skin.

No, Balancing Cleansing Emulsion is non-foaming.  It utilizes ultra mild, non-foaming cleansing agents that lift oil + impurities without disrupting the skin barrier.
