About this cleanser

Protects and strengthens skin’s moisture barrier for visibly healthier-looking skin. This ultra-gentle, milky cleanser effectively cleanses without stripping skin’s goodness, leaving even the most dry, sensitive, and reactive-feeling skin looking calmer, clearer and healthier.

 

With our unique blend of nutrient-rich pre, pro and postbiotics, this kind-to-the-skin formula effortlessly melts away impurities, pollution and make up while strengthening skin's moisture barrier for a nourished, soothed, healthy-looking glow.

 

Powered by ingredients expertly selected for their efficacy, including chicory, lunaria oil, jojoba oil and oat extract.

 

We recommend rinsing off your cleanser with warm water, no pure cotton cloth required.

 

Strengthens the moisture barrier to dramatically improve the look of dry, sensitive skin in 7 days​*

 

Whilst our Pro-Biotic range is free from synthetic fragrance, you may notice a slight ‘oat-like’ scent. This is simply the natural scent of our powerful naturally active ingredients.

Pro-Biotic Cleanser The Results

Chicory

CHICORY
(Cichorium intybus)

Sustainably grown on an organic farm in France, chicory is a natural prebiotic with skin-soothing properties. It has been used as a traditional herbal remedy for both skin and digestive health for hundreds of years.

Jojoba

JOJOBA OIL
(Simmondsia chinensis)

One of the skin’s most naturally compatible oils, jojoba promotes a healthy-looking glow without clogging pores. The jojoba shrub we source is native to the Sonoran Desert in the US, and Patagonian Desert in Argentina.

Lunaria

LUNARIA
(Lunaria annua)

Lunaria oil is naturally rich in skin-compatible fatty acids, and is known to nourish and provide long-lasting hydration. Our lunaria is grown on 2 farms in Lincolnshire & Essex and is recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society for benefitting local insect populations.

Oat Extract

FERMENTED OATS
(Avena sativa)

Sustainably grown in Sweden and Finland, the oats we use are specially selected for their higher levels of Beta Glucan, a fibre known to help soothe and improve the appearance of skin. Our oats are fermented to produce a unique strain of Lactobacillus (friendly bacteria).

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Give this a try if you normally use cleanse & poli I usually buy cleanse and polish but saw this on the clearance site and thought I’d try it. It’s a really lovely gentle cleanser and you don’t need much at all. I would buy this again and recommend it to those who have not tried it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this! Lovely light milk cleanser, doesn’t leave a residue on skin, I have very reactive skin and this is the only widely available product which doesn’t cause issues. Please don’t stop making this!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So happy with this product I've been using this cleanser for several years now and I'm very happy with the way it complements my over 50s dry skin. It's light, gentle, non-greasy and non-drying and a huge benefit to be perfume-free. I bought three of these as they were discounted, so they will last a while.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fabulous product! I've been using the Pro-Biotic Balancing Milk Cleanser for several weeks now - and I love it! It's sometimes tricky to find a good cleanser when you have sensitive skin, but I've not had any adverse reaction to this cleanser at all, in fact my skin feels great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Please don't discontinue this I love this cleanser. It's the best for my dry sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate me even though I have the most sensitive skin of anyone I know. So I can never try new products, I have to stick with the ones I know. Please don't discontinue this!! I actually quite like the oat smell and I've bought 2 bottles in advance just in case :(

Beautiful cleanse, please do not discontinue. I understand this range is being discontinued, I am very disappointed in your decision. Will you be creating a new pro biotic range for sensitive skins?, of which there are many in the reviews. We love it

Asked by: Anniep53
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. We completely understand that it's disappointing when we discontinue products you love. We want you to know that it's never a decision we take lightly but sometimes products just aren't as popular as we had hoped they'd be. Whilst we're not aware of any decision to launch a new pro-biotic range, we will certainly pass on your request to our Marketing team. We hope this information helps however, should you require some bespoke skincare advice or, product recommendations, we would ask you to kindly contact our Customer Care Centre by calling 01983 813913 or, email naturallyactive@lizerale.com. Our phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am until 5pm, closed bank holidays. We do apologise for any disappointment - The Customer Care Centre Team

would this be suitable for rosacea?

Asked by: MeMe Me
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. When we formulated our Pro-Biotic range, we specifically had those with dry or reactive skin in mind. However, there are no guarantees that individual products within our range are going to suit everyone. All of our products are formulated to be as mild and gentle as possible, but we would always recommend our customers carry out a patch test prior to using any new skincare product for the first time. A small amount should be applied close to the area of intended use. Should you experience any redness, irritation, or discomfort during the next 24 hours – or at any point after the patch test - then we would advise to immediately discontinue use. Please be assured that if any product purchased directly from our website or Customer Centre proves to be unsuitable for use, we have a great 60 day returns policy. We hope this information helps however, should you require more bespoke skincare advice or, product recommendations, we would ask you to kindly contact our Customer Care Team by calling 01983 813913 or, email naturallyactive@lizearle.com - The Customer Care Centre Team

Can I apply this and remove it with cotton pads only? Water irrates my face :(

Asked by: Murraypies
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. We would recommend removing our Pro-Biotic Balancing Milk Cleanser with warm water. Alternatively, this can be removed by soaking a cotton pad in water and gently removing this from the skin. This will not be removed effectively if you use a dry cotton pad. We hope this information helps however, should you require more bespoke skincare advice or, product recommendations, we would ask you to kindly contact our Customer Care Centre by calling 01983 813913 or, email naturallyactive@lizearle.com - The Customer Care Centre Team

Can this cleanser be removed with toner rather than rinsing with warm water, as i feel you need a spotless sink and towel, also I find water very drying. I have ordered it anyway with the toner

Asked by: Caroline 27
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. We would recommend rinsing our Pro-Biotic Balancing Milk cleanser with warm water, no pure cotton cloth required. If find any residue on your skin, you may wish to try using a little less product or, continue rinsing the skin. We hope this information helps - The Customer Care Centre

Is this cleanser suitable for oily skin?

Do the hot cloth cleansers or toner contain linalool either in pure state or as part of plant oil?

My daughter is 10yrs old suffers with eczema and has spots on her face would this product be suitable?? 

Asked by: Rambone18
Personally I think it would be fine.  I’ve found this to be a very gentle cleanser.  It doesn’t strip my skin or make it dry and I have very sensitive skin.  Whilst it may not cure your daughter’s eczema, it could calm it.  All good wishes for it to settle down.

Is this vegan friendly? I would love to go back to being able to use a Liz Earle cleanser. Many thanks x

Asked by: Astrid
Thank you for your question. Our Pro-biotic Balancing range does not contain any animal derived ingredients and so is suitable for vegans. We hope this information is helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact our customer centre team on 01983 813913 if we can be of any further assistance. – Liz Earle Beauty Co.
