Dieux Baptism — Gentle Fragrance-Free Facial Cleanser
Baptism is a fresh take on the daily cleansing ritual — a gentle yet effective formula that deeply cleanses the skin without stripping it of moisture. This water-based cleanser starts as a slippery, jelly-like serum that transforms into a rich, creamy lather upon contact with water. It effectively removes daily makeup, SPF, sweat, and impurities, keeping the skin's protective barrier intact.
Why choose it?
• Gentle daily cleansing — removes makeup and sunscreen without harshness to the skin
• Skin barrier-strengthening formula — after washing, skin feels reborn, soft, and ready for subsequent skincare steps
• Fragrance-free — designed for reactive skin and those sensitive to fragrances
• pH balanced at 5.5 — close to the skin's natural pH (4.5–5.5) to avoid disrupting the hydrolipid barrier
• Ophthalmologist-tested — safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

Who is it for?
• Sensitive, dry, combination, and oily skin
• Daily, gentle cleansing
• Removal of non-waterproof makeup, sunscreens, and daily impurities
• Double cleansing — as a second water-based step after an oil cleanser
• Individuals avoiding fragrances in their skincare
Pro tips
• Waterproof makeup? First, use a cleansing oil or balm, then Baptism as your second cleanse.
• Double cleansing? Baptism is the perfect water-based second step.
• The lack of a "squeaky clean" feeling is intentional — the formula cleanses deeply while protecting the skin's moisture barrier, leaving it soft, supple, and reborn.
How to use?
Morning and evening, apply a few pumps of Baptism gel to your face and neck, massaging gently. Add water to create a lather and remove impurities and daily makeup. Rinse with room temperature water, pat your skin dry with a towel, and proceed with your subsequent skincare steps.
