Bare Necessity
The Glow Market Skin Score
Acne-Friendly: Hero Match
A lightweight, rinse-off cleanser with no obvious pore-clogging oils or heavy occlusives and a low-congestion ingredient profile.
Anti-Aging: Low Match
Glycerin and hyaluronic acid support hydrated, smoother-looking skin, but the cleanser is not designed as a targeted anti-aging treatment.
Hydration: Strong Match
Glycerin is the second ingredient, with sodium hyaluronate adding extra humectant support to help skin feel soft and comfortable after cleansing.
Brightening: Not Formulated For
The formula focuses on cleansing and hydration rather than ingredients that specifically target dullness, discoloration, or uneven tone.
Sensitive Skin: Strong Match
Fragrance-free with relatively gentle cleansing agents and a streamlined formula designed to cleanse without leaving skin overly stripped.
Skin Barrier Support: Strong Match
Humectants and mild surfactants help preserve moisture balance and support the skin barrier during daily cleansing.
Who It’s Best For: Ideal for anyone wanting a gentle, hydrating daily cleanser that removes buildup while leaving skin soft, balanced, and comfortable, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
A dermatologist-developed hydrating facial cleanser that gently removes makeup, sunscreen, excess oil and daily impurities without stripping the skin.

WHAT SETS IT APART
Your cleanser shouldn't leave your skin feeling tight to prove that it worked.
Bare Necessity is a gentle, hydrating face wash developed by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sam to effectively cleanse while protecting the skin's natural moisture balance. Instead of that stripped, squeaky-clean feeling, it uses gentle cleansing agents alongside glycerin and hyaluronic acid to remove makeup, sunscreen and everyday buildup while helping skin retain hydration.
The result is clean, soft, comfortable skin with a balanced barrier—creating a healthy foundation for the rest of your skincare routine.
HOW TO USE
Massage 1–2 pumps onto damp skin using gentle circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Use morning and night as your daily facial cleanser. Follow with your favorite serum and moisturizer.
