Baptism is perfect for removing non-waterproof makeup, sunscreen, and everyday living! If you’re wearing a full face of waterproof makeup, we recommend using an oil cleanser like [Ethereal](/content/products/ethereal-facial-cleansing-oil "Dieux Ethereal Cleansing Oil"/index.html) first and following with Baptism as a second cleanse.

We designed Baptism to be deeply cleansing without stripping your skin barrier, which often results in that “squeaky-clean” feeling. This way, your skin doesn’t dry out and feels soft, fresh, and bouncy.

–

Yes! Baptism is ophthalmologist-tested, safe for sensitive eyes, and safe for contact lens wearers. However, we do recommend avoiding any direct contact with your eyes.

Yes, if you wear waterproof makeup or just prefer to double cleanse, we recommend starting with an oil-based cleanser like [Ethereal](/content/products/ethereal-facial-cleansing-oil "Dieux Ethereal Cleansing Oil"/index.html) and following with Baptism as your water-based cleanser.

Baptism falls at a 5.5 on the pH scale. At Dieux, we formulate with your skin's pH in mind. Your skin's average pH is slightly acidic, falling between 4.5-5.5. For everyday skincare products, using something that's closer to the pH of your skin won't disrupt your barrier.

Maybe me skin likes a little (lovel)y fragrance

I’d previously been using Prequel’s Gleanser (great cleanser too). Had such wonderful success with other Dieux products, I decided to try this as well. Really a nice balance of feeling clean but not dry. Just happy, clean, and smelling like I went on a nice stroll in chill weather. Have also used somewhat frequently as double cleanse with Ethereal and is great too.

Good for the whole family

I have 42 year old dry sensitive skin, my husband has 45 year old oily skin, and my son is 11 with acne just starting. We all are blown away by the cleanser and I have stocked it in all bathrooms. My skin has this glow now and as long as they make this I will continue to repurchase. Also, I have pretty bad eye allergies and no issues with the fragrance. They need to make this in a body cleanser!
