A dermatologist-developed cleansing balm for sensitive, dry, combination, and barrier-compromised skin that melts away waterproof makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and impurities while helping support the skin barrier and maintain hydration.

Powered by skin-supporting ingredients like peptides, ceramides, and colloidal oatmeal, PEP MELT™ helps leave skin feeling smoother, softer, and more comfortable with consistent use.

Description

Pep Melt is a nourishing balm-to-milk cleanser that transforms from a rich balm into a silky cleansing milk when activated with water. Unlike traditional cleansing balms made just for makeup removal, Pep Melt combines its cleansing power with peptides, ceramides, colloidal oatmeal, and hyaluronic acid that help support the skin barrier while cleansing. The non-stripping formula helps maintain hydration and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, hydrated and comfortable—never tight, stripped, or greasy.

Best For
  • Cleansing waterproof makeup, oil, dirt, and SPF completely and without leaving residue
  • Strengthening a compromised skin barrier
  • Replenishing dry skin and delivering long last hydration
  • Calming the look of visible redness in sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin
  • Reducing the look of moisture loss associated with Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
  • Nourishing sensitive skin across all skin types and skin tones, including melanin-rich and deeper skin tones
How to Use
  1. Twist component to dispense balm.
  2. Gently massage onto dry face and closed eyes using circular motions to melt away makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and impurities.
  3. Add a splash of warm water to emulsify into a silky milk.
  4. Rinse thoroughly.

Use alone for a nourishing cleanse or as the first step of a double-cleansing routine before a water-based cleanser.
