Lactobionic Micellar Gel: Gentle Makeup & Impurity Remover Face Cleanser

An excellent micellar formula that gently removes make-up and impurities – suitable for even the most sensitive types of skin! Our Arkana Lactobionic Micellar Gel is a moisturising gel face cleanser that deeply cleans the skin’s surface without compromising its protective barrier or causing irritations. Thanks to its natural, safe ingredients, it can be used on all skin types, including hypersensitive skin after professional exfoliating treatments, such as acid therapy.

One of the main active ingredients of this formula is lactobionic acid, which intensely moisturises the skin and regulates the process of its exfoliation. With the addition of glucam and glycerol, the cream leaves a pleasant, satin-like emollient feel on the skin’s surface. What’s more, the lactobionic acid brightens and evens out the skin colour, combating hyperpigmentation or acne blemishes.

Why You’ll Love It

• Micellar gel formulation that cleanses deeply without stripping or irritating the skin.

• Contains lactobionic acid which hydrates, supports gentle exfoliation and brightens the complexion.

• Suitable for sensitive, post-acid treatment or sensitised skin thanks to its gentle pH and barrier-supporting actives.

• Perfect as a daily cleansing step or preparation before treatments.

How It Works

The core active, lactobionic acid (10 mg/g according to the brand), acts as a gentle exfoliant and humectant, encouraging smoother texture and improved tone.
Micellar technology allows the gel to lift makeup, sebum, pollution and other debris effectively, while glycerin and Olivem 300 leave a satin-like, comfortable finish.

Who It’s For

• All skin types, especially sensitive, reactive, post-treatment or prone to capillaries/rosacea.

• Anyone seeking a gentle daily cleanser that delivers more than just surface cleanse.

• Ideal for morning or evening routines, or as a cleansing step for treatments and exfoliation.

Not recommended if you have a strong aversion to gel cleansers (if you prefer foam/cream formats) though it is gentle enough for most.

How to Use

1. Apply the gel to damp skin (face and neck), gently massage to lift makeup and impurities.

2. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

3. Use as part of your morning and/or evening routine, especially before treatments or exfoliation.

4. Follow with your usual serum or cream. For post-acid or peel days, this cleanser makes a great “sensitised skin” base.

When to Expect Results

• Immediately: skin feels clean, lightweight, and comfortable — no tightness.

• After 2–4 weeks of regular use: more even tone, fewer visible impurities, less buildup.

• Long term: skin texture smoother, less visible redness/irritation, better compatibility with treatment actives.

Pair It With

• A soothing toner or hydrating mist (to support barrier after cleanse).

• A lightweight serum addressing skin-concerns (e.g., pigmentation, dehydration).

• For post-treatment or exfoliation days, follow with a calming cream or SPF 50+ if used in the morning.

• Use alongside your other Arkana treatment lines for full routine synergy.
