    FAQs

    Doctor Rogers Face Wash is a gentle, gel-based cleanser that removes everything from mascara to sunscreen and sweat without stripping skin of essential moisture. The key difference from most cleansers is what it does not contain: no sulfates (SLS or SLES), no harsh surfactants, no fragrance, no essential oils, no silicones, and no petroleum-derived ingredients. Instead, it uses Coco-Glucoside, an ultra-mild cleansing agent made from coconut fats and sugars that cleans effectively while preserving the skin's natural protective layer. The formula is pH-balanced at 5.25, matching healthy skin's natural acidity, which helps maintain barrier function. It also includes Aloe for hydration and antioxidant protection, and Glycerin as a humectant that draws water into the skin. Every ingredient is biodegradable, meaning nothing that washes down your drain accumulates in waterways. Doctor Rogers Face Wash was formulated by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Heather D. Rogers for all skin types, including sensitive, healing, and fragile skin. It is available in a full-size pump bottle of 5 fl oz for $42, and a travel size of 1.7 fl oz for $22.
    No, and this comes down to two things: the cleansing agent and the pH. The tight, stripped feeling many people experience after washing is caused by harsh sulfates (SLS, SLES) and high-pH formulas that disrupt the skin's natural acid mantle and strip away protective oils. Doctor Rogers Face Wash avoids both problems. The cleansing agent, Coco-Glucoside, is one of the mildest surfactants available, and the formula is pH-balanced at 5.25 to match your skin's natural acidity. This matters because healthy skin has a natural pH of approximately 4.5 to 5.5. Many popular cleansers, especially bar soaps and foaming washes, have a pH of 9 to 11, which disrupts the acid mantle with every wash. When you wash with a high-pH cleanser, your skin has to work to restore its natural acidity, and during that recovery period your barrier is compromised. Over time, this can contribute to dryness, irritation, sensitivity, and breakouts. Glycerin in the Doctor Rogers formula actively draws moisture into skin during the cleansing process. The result is skin that feels clean, soft, and comfortable after washing, not tight, dry, or squeaky. NewBeauty named it Best Cleanser for Sensitive Skin.
    Yes, Doctor Rogers Face Wash is completely free of SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and SLES (sodium laureth sulfate), the most common harsh surfactants used in cleansers. These sulfates create the foaming, lathering action most people associate with cleansing, but they also strip away natural oils and can irritate sensitive skin. Instead, Doctor Rogers Face Wash uses Coco-Glucoside, an ultra-mild cleansing agent derived from coconut fats and fruit sugars. It effectively removes dirt, oil, makeup, and sunscreen while preserving the skin's natural protective layer. Coco-Glucoside is one of the gentlest surfactants available and is well-tolerated even by eczema-prone and post-procedure skin. The formula is also free of fragrance, essential oils, parabens, phthalates, PEGs, silicones, mineral oil, petrolatum, and microplastics. Every ingredient is biodegradable, a claim that most cleansers cannot make. Doctor Rogers Face Wash holds the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance and Credo Clean Standard certification.
    Most dermatologists recommend washing your face once or twice daily. Nighttime cleansing is the most important step because it removes the day's accumulation of dirt, oil, sunscreen, makeup, pollution, and bacteria. In the morning, whether you need to wash depends on your skin type. For oily or combination skin, a morning wash helps remove excess sebum that accumulated overnight. For dry or sensitive skin, splashing with water alone in the morning may be sufficient. In the Doctor Rogers routine, Doctor Rogers Face Wash is always step one. For daytime: Doctor Rogers Face Wash (optional for dry skin), Day Preventive Treatment, Doctor Rogers Face Cream or Doctor Rogers Face Lotion, then SPF. At night: Doctor Rogers Face Wash, Night Repair Treatment, Doctor Rogers Face Cream. When washing, apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently for about 30 seconds, and rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, which strips natural oils and can worsen dryness and irritation.
    Yes. Doctor Rogers Face Wash effectively removes daily makeup, sunscreen, and environmental buildup through its Coco-Glucoside surfactant. For most people, one thorough cleanse with Doctor Rogers Face Wash is all that is needed. Dr. Heather D. Rogers does not recommend double cleansing, as it increases the risk of dryness and irritation. The gel texture lathers lightly when mixed with water, providing enough cleansing power without the harsh foam that sulfate-based cleansers produce. After rinsing, skin should feel clean and comfortable, not slippery or tight.
    Doctor Rogers Face Wash is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, healing, and fragile skin. This is one of the few cleansers on the market specifically developed for post-procedure and healing skin, which requires the gentlest possible cleansing without introducing irritants. The formula holds the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, confirming suitability for eczema-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic, making it appropriate for acne-prone skin as well. NewBeauty recognized Doctor Rogers Face Wash as Best Cleanser for Sensitive Skin. In Doctor Rogers' customer base, the top skin types are sensitive (33.9%), dry (31.5%), and combination (30.7%), and this cleanser was formulated to serve all of them. Whether you have oily skin that needs daily cleansing or dry, reactive skin that needs the gentlest possible wash, the pH-balanced, sulfate-free formula adapts to your needs.
    Yes. Doctor Rogers Face Wash was specifically developed for sensitive, healing, and fragile skin, including post-procedure skin. After laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, or surgery, skin is temporarily stripped of its protective barrier and is highly vulnerable to irritation. Most cleansers, even those marketed as "gentle," contain sulfates, fragrance, or a high pH that can sting, burn, and slow recovery on compromised skin. Doctor Rogers Face Wash avoids all of these issues. The pH 5.25 formula maintains the skin's acid mantle, the Coco-Glucoside surfactant cleans without stripping, and the Glycerin draws moisture into skin during cleansing. Dr. Heather D. Rogers, who performs cosmetic procedures in her own practice, formulated this cleanser to be the first step in post-procedure care, followed by Doctor Rogers Face Cream and/or Doctor Rogers Restore Healing Balm for hydration and barrier protection.
