"The only gentle cleanser that has worked on me. I have dry sensitive skin and have tried many “gentle” cleansers that break me out or cause irritation over time or don’t clean my skin properly. This is the only truly gentle formula that still is able to clean all oil and make up residues without leaving my skin stripped."
Balancing Cream Cleanser
The first step to clear, balanced skin. This clarifying cream-to-foam cleanser gently removes makeup, SPF, oil, and buildup without stripping for skin that feels soft, smooth, and comforted.

Reviews
Good Gently Cleanser
"This is a good gentle cleanser that doesn't leave my skin dry. However, when Dua uses it, she uses micellar water first, and I think you probably need to do that if you're trying to get make-up off. Otherwise, you'll still have mascara and some residue even after you've used the cleanser. If you just want to do one step, then I would look for a stronger cleanser. I'm a one-step girl, so only use this on non-makeup days."
Dua has absolutely changed my
"Dua has absolutely changed my skin! I am acne prone and the acne I get takes forever to go away, but also have dry skin and Dua face soap is just slightly aggressive enough that it works without drying me out too much and I can also feel it rejuvenating my skin. The moisturizer is also really great, it’s light and airy but definitely works"
Honestly I didn’t expect much
"Honestly I didn’t expect much from this cleanser but it ended up being my favourite product from the whole line. I’ve recently finished my first one and already bought three more. Love this product. My skin feels really soft after this and so clean. It does not irritate my skin nor dries it out."
Easily one of the best
"Easily one of the best cleansers I have used. My skin is oily and this cleanser not only did it not strip my skin of its natural oils but on the contrary, it made it more supple while cleansing thoroughly. It did a good job with removing makeup and residue and felt very luxurious. A staple in my routine!"
I use the balancing cream
"I use the balancing cream cleanser in combination with the other two Daubyab products. Seems to be a good routine so far."
Until this age, I have
"Until this age, I have tried so many alternative products as my cleanser, this is my first cream cleanser and also first DUA product. I loved it. It cleans very well, but your skin is not irritated, damaged or dry at the end. I will for sure continue to purchase it, I will also try other items of the brand and highly recommend the product. Thank you."
This product works really well
"This product works really well with my skin. Cream cleanser is smooth and doesn’t dry my skin out. Seems to make a different in keeping breakouts down and skin feeling fresh morning and night."
Best cleanser EVER !
"I’m usually not a big cleanser person… I normally prefer micellar water. . but this is honestly the only cleanser I truly love. After cleansing before going to bed, my skin genuinely feels like I have brand new skin. It feels so fresh, clean, and soft without ever feeling stripped."
Great stuff, it works, easy
