Restore I – Cleanse with Beta Glucan

For normal, dry, mature, and sensitive complexions, cleansing is the riskiest step in the routine — foaming cleansers strip the very oils this skin cannot spare. A creme cleanser flips the equation: it dissolves makeup and grime with nourishing oils and glucans, so cleansing restores moisture instead of stealing it.

How It Works

First, you massage the silky creme into dry  skin, where its botanical oils begin dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and the day's buildup without tugging. Next, oat and yeast beta glucans soothe and nourish while the cleanser works. Then hyaluronic acid and gentle lactylates bind hydration into the skin so nothing feels stripped. Meanwhile, a whisper of natural fruit acids softly refines texture. Finally, you wipe away with a warm ,wet cloth, leaving skin clean, calm, dewy — and ready for Restore II and III.

Triple-Action Restorative Cleansing System

1. Dissolve & Lift: Kukui, macadamia, avocado, and camellia oils with vegetable squalane melt away makeup, sunscreen, and grime the gentle way — gliding across skin without tugging, then rinsing cleanly with no oily film left behind.
2. Nourish & Soothe: Beta glucan calms the feel of irritation and supports barrier-stressed skin, with panthenol and allantoin reinforcing the comfort for sensitive complexions.
3. Hydrate & Refine: Hyaluronic acid and EcoCert lactylates hold moisture in the skin through the rinse, while a gentle blend of natural fruit acids softly smooths the look of texture — leaving skin fresh, dewy, and prepared for treatment.

When to Apply

• One to two times daily, morning and evening
• As your makeup remover at the end of the day
• Before Restore II and Restore III in the system
• As a five to ten minute mini-mask treatment

How to Apply

1. Massage the creme in: Work a small amount over your dry face in gentle circles, letting the silky texture dissolve dirt, oil, and makeup.
2. Optionally, let it linger: For an extra luxurious treatment, leave the creme on for five to ten minutes before removing, like a mini mask.
3. Remove gently: Wipe away with tissues or a warm face cloth. Skin is left fresh, soft, and dewy with no tight feeling.
4. Follow the system: For best results, continue with Restore II to hydrate and Restore III to moisturize, morning and evening.

Pro Tips

• A warm cloth removal doubles as gentle exfoliation
• Use as a second cleanse after an oil or balm cleanser
• The mini-mask option shines on very dry days
• Keep the 0.5 oz travel size in your carry-on
• No need to follow with a stripping toner
• Massage upward to avoid tugging mature skin

Application Notes

Sun sensitivity: This formula contains a natural fruit acid blend (AHA sources). Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterward, especially if you use the leave-on treatment option.

• For external use only
• Contains tree nut oils (kukui, macadamia) — check nut allergies
• Avoid direct contact with eyes
• Patch test if your skin is highly reactive

This product is perfect for treating and protecting:

• Dry, dehydrated skin: Cleanses with oils and humectants instead of foam, so the wash adds moisture rather than draining it.
• Mature and prematurely aged skin: The non-tugging glide and nourishing lipid complex respect thinner, drier skin — the brand calls it a must for mature skin.
• Sensitive, reactive complexions: Beta glucan, panthenol, and allantoin keep the cleansing step calm for skin that reacts to nearly everything else.
• Barrier damage from harsh treatments: Purpose-built for skin recovering from aggressive facials or stripping cleansers, restoring comfort wash by wash.
• Daily makeup wearers: Dissolves makeup thoroughly without scrubbing — reviewers use it as a hydrating morning cleanse and evening second cleanse.
• Dull, rough-textured skin: The gentle natural fruit acid blend softly refines the look of texture with every wash, no harsh exfoliation required.

Best For

• Dry skin: Non-foaming cleansing that preserves natural oils
• Mature skin: Nourishing glide with zero tugging or stripping
• Sensitive skin: Soothing beta glucan, panthenol, and allantoin
• Compromised barriers: Gentle recovery care after harsh treatments
• Makeup removal: Dissolves the day away without scrubbing
• System users: Step one before Restore II and Restore III
• Not for: Anyone with a tree nut allergy (kukui, macadamia)

What is beta glucan and why is it in Restore I Creme Cleanser?

Beta glucan is a soothing polysaccharide found in oats and yeast — this formula draws it from both, via hydrolyzed oat kernel flour and yeast extract. It is prized for calming the feel of irritation and deeply nourishing dry, mature, and barrier-stressed skin, which is why it headlines a cleanser built for exactly those complexions.

Does Restore I Cleanse with Beta Glucan remove makeup completely?

Yes, the botanical oil complex — kukui, macadamia, avocado, and camellia oils with squalane — dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime thoroughly without scrubbing. For heavy or waterproof makeup, one reviewer's approach works well: use an oil or balm cleanser first, then Restore I as a hydrating second cleanse.

Why doesn't Restore I foam like other cleansers?

By design. Foam comes from detergents, and detergents strip the natural oils that dry, mature, and sensitive skin cannot spare — the brand is direct that these complexions need non-foaming cleansers. Restore I cleans through oils, glucans, and gentle EcoCert lactylates instead, so skin comes out soft and dewy, never squeaky.

Is Restore I Creme Cleanser good for sensitive skin?

It is specifically formulated for sensitive skin, including skin with a damaged barrier from aggressive facial treatments or harsh cleansers. Beta glucan, panthenol, and allantoin keep every wash calming. Two cautions: it contains tree nut oils (kukui and macadamia), so avoid it with nut allergies, and patch test if your skin is highly reactive.

How do I use Restore I with the rest of the Restore system?

Restore I is step one: cleanse. Massage it into  skin once or twice daily, remove with a warm cloth, then follow with Restore II to hydrate and Restore III to moisturize, morning and evening. The three steps are designed as a complete routine for dry, mature skin — cleanse, hydrate, seal.

Can I leave Restore I on my skin as a mask?

Yes — this is the formula's luxury trick. For an extra treatment, leave the creme on your face for five to ten minutes before removing, letting the beta glucan, hyaluronic acid, and botanical oils work like a mini mask. It is a favorite move for very dry days, travel-parched skin, and post-treatment recovery weeks.

Do the fruit acids in Restore I make it too harsh for daily use?

No — at cleanser levels, the bilberry, sugar cane, citrus, and maple blend refines very gently and rinses away, far milder than a dedicated acid treatment. It is designed for once or twice daily use. Because fruit acids are AHA sources, pair it with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, especially if you use the leave-on option.

Is Restore I Cleanse with Beta Glucan really 100% naturally derived?

Yes, the brand formulates it entirely with naturally derived ingredients, from the organic aloe vera juice base to the vegetable squalane and mixed tocotrienol vitamin E. Even preservation is handled by a natural system rather than synthetic preservatives, and the mild lactylate cleansing agents are EcoCert-graded raw materials.

What sizes does Restore I Creme Cleanser come in?

Two sizes: a full 4 oz jar for the bathroom counter and a 0.5 oz travel size that slips into any carry-on or gym bag. The travel size is also the smart way to trial the formula on your skin before committing to the full jar — sensitive-skin routines deserve a test run.
