Why Rinseless Cleansers are the Unique Answer For All Your Skincare Needs
You’re no skincare newbie. You’ve tried all the big brands, trending products, and “must-have” fads. But at the end of the day, how many of those products have changed the way you look at skincare?
Take your typical cleanser, for example. For years, your cleansers have come with some variation of the same basic directions:
- Wet your face
- Apply cleanser
- Rinse
But what happens when you rewrite this copy-and-paste process from the very first step? Can it even be done?
Not only can it be done, but it can be done better. We took water out of the equation, and an industry-disrupting solution was born: rinseless cleansers.
What is a Rinseless Cleanser?
Our rinseless cleansing nectars are precisely what they sound like cleansers that don’t need to be rinsed off. You can simply apply the cleanser to your face, finish your routine, and go about your day.
At this point, you might be asking,
That’s it? Then why are rinseless cleansers such a big deal?
Because this simple concept is groundbreaking. Think of all the gel cleansers and foaming face washes you’ve tried before. How many of those required rinsing afterward? All of them?
For years, rinse-away formulations have dominated the skincare industry — and probably your bathroom cabinet, too. After all, you can’t just leave the cleanser on your face all day. Can you?
That all depends on the ingredients.
Typical cleansers require a good rinse because they bombard your skin with various soaps and surfactants (foamy molecules that stabilize the cleanser’s oil and water mix). If you were to let these ingredients dry on your skin, you’d soon regret it. From a filmy, dull feeling to visible residue, the average cleanser isn’t meant to sit on your face for more than a few moments.
That’s a good thing because most of these cleansers also include harsh, skin-stripping chemicals. Even when properly rinsed, they already do enough damage by washing away your natural oils and dehydrating your skin. Imagine how much harm these formulations could do if left for longer!
Our rinseless cleansers, on the other hand, are specifically crafted to safely and thoroughly nourish your skin for hours. There are no dehydrating soaps or chemicals here — our cleansers use a special balance of nutrient-rich oils and extracts that work with your skin instead of against it. So rather than leaving your face cloudy, filmy, or dry, they purify your skin with hydrating botanicals for a vibrant, dewy finish.
Averr Aglow currently features two rinseless cleansers — our clear skin Radiant Cleansing Nectar and our preventative aging Refining Cleansing Nectar.
It sounds promising, but you’re probably wondering:
Where does all the dirt go if I don’t rinse my face?
Good question! Our rinseless cleansers are designed to be applied with cotton rounds, providing your skin with gentle and effective exfoliation. As you buff the product across your cheeks, forehead, and jawline, you’re also buffing away dirt, makeup, sweat, harmful bacteria, and other impurities.
Even without rinsing, our cleansing nectars leave your skin clean and refreshed. And that’s not all they can do! Rinseless cleansers aren’t just an alternative to traditional cleansers — thanks to a few unique skin benefits, rinseless cleansers are an outright improvement.
How Do Rinseless Cleansers Benefit Your Skin?
Wash-away cleaners have been the standard for so long that the idea of a rinseless cleanser may still seem bizarre. After all, water is the very vision of cleanliness and purity. So how could skipping the rinse be better for your complexion?
1. Potent, Natural Formulas
First and foremost, it comes down to potency. Typical cleansers aren’t built to linger on your skin. So how effective can they be? You’re shelling out good money for a product that only touches your face for seconds.
Our rinseless cleansers take a different approach. Instead of severe, quickie ingredients, they are built with natural extracts that saturate your face with vital minerals and nutrients. The rinseless formula then allows these skin-enriching ingredients to sink in over time, so your skin can fully revel in the benefits.
We don’t cut corners with cheap ingredients. Our cleansers are built for nourishment with revitalizing botanicals.
A sampling of the incredible, long-wear ingredients that power our rich cleansing nectars:
- Jojoba Oil: This hydrating, skin-friendly oil doesn’t evaporate like water. Instead, it feeds your complexion with essential vitamins that calm and complement your skin.
- Kahai Oil: With incredible reserves of vitamin E, retinol, and linoleic acid, Kahai imbues your skin with moisture while supporting its beautiful elasticity.
- Hawthorn Berry: A rejuvenating source of vitamin C and other antioxidants, hawthorn berry extract soothes and clarifies your skin for a bright, even appearance.
2. Hydrating and Protective
Whether your skin goals are for a clearer complexion or more youthful skin, we have a rinseless answer to help you reach those goals faster. So isn’t it time to say goodbye to drying, barely-there chemical face washes? With a rinseless cleanser, you can invest in your skin with a product that’s both gentler and more effective...not to mention more hydrating.
You see, rinsing away your products with water has another counterintuitive drawback: it can strip the moisture from your complexion. Water quickly evaporates from your skin and takes your natural oils with it. This can dehydrate and weaken your skin barrier, leaving your face vulnerable, dry, and desperate for moisture.
To make matters worse, local tap water — like the water from your bathroom sink — can unbalance your skin pH and expose your complexion to harmful chemicals and contaminants. That’s why Averr Aglow prioritizes rinseless formulas wherever possible, suffusing our products with botanicals that restore hydration and protect your skin barrier.
(To help you dodge tap water even more, we’ve also created two rinseless overnight masks: one for clear skin and one for preventative aging.)
Enough is enough. Why keep settling for the same old routine — a mediocre, short-lived cleanser followed by subtly damaging tap water? You and your skin deserve so much more. Rinseless cleansers tick all the boxes: nourishing, skin-safe, and perfectly self-contained.
No water? No problem! Our rinseless cleansers make cleansing on the go as easy as pulling out a cotton pad.
Saving Water (and the Environment) With Rinseless Beauty
As if you needed another reason to love our rinseless cleansers, they also have a nice side benefit: with each skipped rinse, you’re using less water, which is good for both your utility bill and the environment.
And for a planet covered in H20, water scarcity is a surprisingly pressing problem. Only 1% of Earth’s water is accessible freshwater, so about 2.8 billion people — around one-third of the entire human race — face natural water scarcity or shortages from poor infrastructure.
Rinseless cleansers are one small change we can all make to help make a difference. The less water each of us uses, the better off the planet will be.
Mother Nature gifted us with all the wondrous botanicals that make Averr Aglow products exceptional. Doesn’t it feel nice to return the favor?
