Luzern Emulsion 6

Incredibly nourishing balm-to-milk cleanser that easily dissolves impurities while keeping skin moisturized / 2 oz full size

Luzern Emulsion 6 (once known as the Hydra Cleansing Emulsion) is no ordinary cleanser. No: it’s a deeply pampering, luxuriously substantial jar of moisturizing balm-to-milk goodness that coaxes you to turn your evening cleanse into a facial massage. It dissolves blackheads and the most stubborn makeup and sunscreen. It leaves skin impossibly fresh and dewy-looking after you sweep it off with a hot towel: clean, comfortable, with just the right amount of nourishing oil that can also be easily swept off with your toner. And it is so good that everyone on our team who has tried it has become completely smitten with it. 

What makes it so deliciously wonderful? It could be the blend of six certified organic nourishing oils, which decongest skin without disrupting its delicate protective barrier. Or it could be the nutrient-rich Alpine botanical extracts that are suspended in the formula for extra soothing capabilities. Or it could be the fact that this beautiful, rich balm melts on contact with your skin’s warmth to gently draw out all of the impurities it’s accumulated throughout the day…or longer. (Wouldn’t it be lovely to have the equivalent of this cleanser for your mind? It comes close to doing that, too, though.) 

If your skin ever goes through an “I’m so dry and can’t get over it” phase, this is one of our favorite ways to reset. Bonus: it moonlights as a mask (leave it on for 10-12 minutes, then remove with a warm, damp cloth) and a glow oil (warm a drop between your fingers and apply it to the face for a healthy glow, day or night).

We’re big fans of this newly fragrance-free cleansing balm and think it’s Luzern’s best iteration ever.
