Trader Joe's Nourish All-In-One Facial Cleanser — Dermatologist Formulated Multi-Vitamin Antioxidant Face Wash with Gentle Exfoliation, Tearless Formula (8.45 fl oz)

Trader Joe's Nourish All-In-One Facial Cleanser is a dermatologist-developed, multi-function face wash that combines daily cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and antioxidant skin care in a single step. Formulated with a 6-vitamin antioxidant complex — Vitamin C Palmitate, Vitamin E Acetate, Vitamin K1, Vitamin D3, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, and Coenzyme Q10 — plus Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, this tearless, sulfate-free cleanser removes daily impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. Made in the USA, cruelty-free. 8.45 fl oz (250mL).

Active Ingredients & Skin Benefits

• Vitamin C Palmitate (Ascorbyl Palmitate) — A fat-soluble, stable form of Vitamin C that neutralizes free radicals generated by UV exposure and environmental pollution, brightens uneven skin tone, and supports collagen synthesis. Fat-soluble Vitamin C penetrates the lipid-rich skin barrier more effectively than water-soluble ascorbic acid in a rinse-off cleanser format.
• Vitamin E Acetate (Tocopheryl Acetate) — A stable ester form of Vitamin E; antioxidant that protects skin cell membranes from oxidative damage, supports skin barrier repair, and works synergistically with Vitamin C for enhanced UV protection.
• Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) — A naturally occurring cellular antioxidant that declines with age; topical CoQ10 has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and support cellular energy production in skin cells. One of the most studied anti-aging antioxidants in dermatology.
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid — A universal antioxidant soluble in both water and fat — uniquely able to neutralize free radicals in both the aqueous and lipid environments of the skin. Regenerates other antioxidants (Vitamins C and E) after they have been oxidized, amplifying the overall antioxidant effect.
• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract — Rich in EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and polyphenols; potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and protect against UV-induced oxidative stress.
• Vitamin K1 & Vitamin D3 — Vitamin K1 supports skin healing and may reduce the appearance of dark circles and bruising; Vitamin D3 supports skin cell turnover and barrier function.
• Gentle Surfactant System (Cocamidopropyl Betaine & Sodium Lauroamphoacetate) — Mild amphoteric surfactants derived from coconut oil; effectively remove sebum, sunscreen, and environmental impurities without disrupting the skin's natural pH or lipid barrier — no harsh SLS/SLES sulfates.

How to Use — 6 Daily Applications

• Morning cleanse: Pump a moderate amount onto damp skin, massage gently for 30 seconds, rinse with lukewarm water.
• Evening double-cleanse (Step 1): Removes daily sunscreen, light makeup, and environmental pollutants as the first step of a double-cleanse routine.
• Gentle weekly exfoliation: Extend massage time to 60 seconds to buff away dull, dead surface skin cells — the built-in mild exfoliating agents smooth skin texture without abrasive microbeads.
• Sensitive skin wash: Apply to dry skin before wetting for an ultra-gentle, nourishing cleanse suitable for reactive or sensitized skin.
• Eye-area cleansing: The tearless formula is safe for use around the delicate eye area — no stinging or irritation on contact with eyes.
• Post-workout cleanse: Quickly removes sweat, excess sebum, and pore-clogging impurities after exercise.

Who This Product Is For

• Dry and sensitive skin — sulfate-free, gentle surfactant system cleanses without the tightness or dryness caused by harsh face washes.
• Anti-aging skincare routines — the 6-vitamin antioxidant complex delivers daily free radical protection during the cleansing step.
• Minimalist skincare advocates — 3-in-1 function (cleanser + exfoliant + antioxidant) reduces the number of products needed in a routine.
• Contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes — tearless formula eliminates eye irritation risk during face washing.
• All skin types — including normal, combination, dry, and sensitive; not recommended for severe acne requiring medicated cleansers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it contain sulfates (SLS/SLES)?
No. This cleanser uses Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Sodium Lauroamphoacetate — mild, coconut-derived amphoteric surfactants that cleanse effectively without the drying, irritating effects of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES).

What makes it different from a regular face wash?
Most basic face washes only cleanse. This 3-in-1 formula simultaneously cleanses, gently exfoliates, and delivers a 6-vitamin antioxidant complex (Vitamin C, E, K1, D3, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, CoQ10) — active ingredients typically found only in separate serums and treatments.

Is it safe for use around the eyes?
Yes. The tearless formula has been tested to confirm no stinging or irritation on eye contact, making it safe for cleansing the delicate skin around the eyes, eyelids, and lash line.

Can I use it twice daily?
Yes. The gentle surfactant system is formulated for twice-daily use (morning and evening) without over-stripping the skin's natural oils. Those with very dry skin may prefer once-daily use in the evening.

Is it cruelty-free?
Yes. Trader Joe's Nourish All-In-One Facial Cleanser is cruelty-free — no animal testing at any stage of development or production.
