Sebamed Olive Face & Body Wash

Sebamed Olive Face & Body Wash is a soap-free liquid cleanser from the German skincare brand Sebamed, made for everyday washing of the face and body. According to the manufacturer, it is an extra-mild formula with olive-derived ingredients and panthenol, balanced to pH 5.5. It is designed for people with sensitive or dry skin who want a gentle wash that does not leave the skin feeling stripped.

Sebamed explains that cleansers with a neutral or alkaline pH can disturb the skin’s naturally slightly acidic surface, often called the acid mantle. This face and body wash is formulated at pH 5.5 to stay close to that natural environment, and the manufacturer states that its olive, panthenol and starch complex helps counteract the loss of lipids and moisture while washing or showering. The result is a cleanse that leaves skin feeling clean, smooth and comfortable.

In Malaysia’s hot and humid weather, frequent showers are part of daily life, and long hours in air-conditioned rooms can leave skin feeling tight and dry. A mild, soap-free cleanser such as Sebamed Olive Face & Body Wash suits this routine because it can be used once or twice a day on both face and body. Always check the ingredient list on the pack, as formulations may be updated by the manufacturer.

• Wet the face or body with lukewarm water.
• Pour a small amount of Sebamed Olive Face & Body Wash into your palm or onto a sponge.

• Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a clean towel.
• Follow with a moisturiser if your skin tends to feel dry.

Do not use after the expiry date or if the texture, colour or smell has changed.
