Calm, hydrate, and glow — even if your skin reacts to everything.
Get Glowing is the ultra-gentle hydrating face wash created specifically for dry, sensitive, reactive, or easily irritated skin. Chamomile and aloe vera soothe redness and inflammation on contact, while a rich antioxidant blend (pomegranate, hibiscus, blueberry, dandelion, horsetail) shields against environmental stress that worsens sensitivity over time. Vitamin E defends against free radicals, sodium PCA and glycerin draw in and lock moisture so skin never feels tight after rinsing, and borage extract helps repair your compromised barrier. Lavender essential oil turns cleansing into a relaxing ritual. At pH 5.5 — matching your skin's natural acid mantle — this cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities thoroughly without disruption, redness, or stripping.
How to Use
- Apply a small amount to damp skin morning and/or evening.
- Massage gently in circular motions for 60 seconds (the 60-second rule!).

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this cleanser good for sensitive skin?
+
Three things. First, the surfactants (the stuff that actually cleans) are some of the gentlest available. Sodium cocoyl isethionate and cocamidopropyl betaine are mild, coconut-derived cleansers that remove dirt and makeup without stripping your skin's protective oils. Second, chamomile and aloe vera are actively calming inflammation while you wash. Third, the pH is 5.5, which is almost identical to your skin's natural pH. Most cleansers sit around 8 to 10 and disrupt your acid mantle every time you wash. This one doesn't. Your skin stays calm because it's never being attacked in the first place.
I have dry skin that feels tight after every cleanser. Will this help?
+
This is exactly what Get Glowing was designed for. That tight feeling means your cleanser is stripping your skin's natural moisture barrier, and your skin is essentially panicking. Get Glowing includes glycerin, sodium PCA, and aloe vera — all humectants that attract and hold water in your skin. Borage extract helps repair barrier damage. Most people who switch to this cleanser notice the tightness is completely gone after the first wash. Your skin should feel clean and soft, never tight or dry.
What are the antioxidants in this cleanser and why do they matter?
+
Get Glowing contains pomegranate, hibiscus, blueberry, dandelion, and horsetail extracts. These are all rich in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals — unstable molecules caused by UV exposure, pollution, blue light, and environmental stress that break down collagen and accelerate aging. Think of antioxidants as a shield. Every time you wash your face with this cleanser, you're not just cleaning, you're adding a layer of environmental protection. Over time, this helps prevent premature fine lines, dullness, and uneven skin tone.
How is this different from Crystal Clear and Bright & Early?
+
Each 5 Circle cleanser targets different skin needs. Bright & Early is a triple acid exfoliating face wash for dullness and texture. Crystal Clear uses willow bark for oil control and breakouts. Get Glowing is the gentle, hydrating option for dry and sensitive skin that can't tolerate acids or harsh cleansing. If your skin reacts to most products, gets red easily, or feels tight and dehydrated, this is your cleanser. If you're not sure which one is right for you, this is the safest starting point.
Why does pH matter in a cleanser?
+
Your skin's natural pH is around 4.5 to 5.5. This slightly acidic environment is what keeps your skin barrier intact, protects against bacteria, and retains moisture. Most drugstore cleansers and bar soaps have a pH of 9 to 10, which is alkaline. Every time you wash with a high-pH cleanser, you temporarily destroy your acid mantle. Your skin then spends hours trying to rebalance, during which it's vulnerable to irritation, dryness, and breakouts. Get Glowing at pH 5.5 cleans without ever disrupting that balance. It's one of the reasons sensitive skin tolerates this cleanser so well.
Is this pregnancy safe?
+
We always recommend consulting with your physician or OB-GYN before using any active skincare products during pregnancy. Get Glowing is one of our gentlest formulations with no harsh acids, but your doctor knows your specific situation better than any skincare brand. Have that conversation and follow their guidance.
