Look how much smoother and more balanced your skin has become with our facial cleanser! Why a cleansing foam—and not a gel or milk texture? The foam has an exceptionally fine texture that feels particularly gentle on the skin and doesn’t irritate even sensitive skin. The airy texture spreads effortlessly, removing dirt, sebum, and makeup much more gently than many gel cleansers and leaving no feeling of tightness. The slightly acidic formula helps maintain the skin’s natural pH balance, while the foam penetrates even the finest skin structures—areas where a cleansing milk would often be too rich or occlusive. Our Foam Sensitive combines these benefits with soothing, moisturizing active ingredients, making it a cleanser that is thorough without disrupting the skin’s balance.

Leonie places great importance on skincare products without unnecessary additives, but with highly concentrated active ingredients.

Dr. Luise Berger

Here's what the founder says

Does this sound familiar? Makeup that doesn’t sit right, dry patches, a blotchy complexion? In most cases, it’s not the makeup’s fault—it’s due to inadequate cleansing. The foundation of any beautiful skin, with or without makeup, is a thorough yet gentle cleanse. The foam removes bacteria, excess sebum, fine dust, and makeup residue, creating the perfect canvas—like a freshly primed canvas where everything can look even and radiant. For me, the Cleansing Foam is like a daily reset button: a moment when the skin can truly “breathe freely” and prepare for the next steps.

20 years of experience as a medical specialist. In every formula.

Dr. Luise Berger develops every single formulation herself. As a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, she has been working with skin and its aging processes on a daily basis for over 20 years. This knowledge is incorporated into every formulation—with the goal of sustainably maintaining and specifically improving skin quality.

Clean. No compromises. Made in Germany.

It’s not enough for us to simply avoid individual controversial ingredients. Without exception, our formulas are free of unnecessary or controversial ingredients. This makes the development process significantly more complex—but for you, we’ll keep tinkering until we find a way to do it without them. After all, the skin is our largest organ—and what we apply to it every day matters. Developed and manufactured in Germany.

A wide variety of active ingredients in the highest concentrations

Not just one key active ingredient—but over 100 active ingredients derived from nature and biotechnology research, precisely balanced to work together. Formulated at the highest concentrations and designed as a skincare system: for more active ingredients per milliliter and products that complement one another.

FAQs

For which skin types is this cleansing foam suitable?

Foam Sensitive is suitable for all skin types, but was developed specifically for sensitive and dry skin . For skin that is already well-nourished, mature skin, or non-sensitive skin types with potential blemishes, we recommend the Foam Intense.

Why should I use a cleansing foam?

Thorough cleansing is the first step in any effective skincare routine. To achieve an effective skincare routine, dead skin cells, makeup residue, and impurities must first be gently removed. The ingredients in Foam Sensitive create an optimal acidic skin environment and also provide a gentle exfoliating effect. In addition, it prepares your skin to absorb active ingredients and restores its natural balance.

How often should I use the cleansing foam?

We recommend using the cleansing foam both in the morning and at night for effective skin cleansing. The skin continues to sweat and produce sebum even at night, so cleansing in the morning is also essential.

Can I use the cleansing foam to remove makeup?

Yes, our cleansing foam effectively removes makeup and leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. For heavy makeup, we recommend using the foam twice in a row if necessary.

Does the cleansing foam contain irritating fragrances, alcohols, or parabens?

No, like all of our products, our cleansing foam is consistently formulated without alcohol, dyes, animal-derived ingredients, paraffin, essential oils, silicone oil, perfume, parabens, PEG/PPG, microplastics, phenoxyethanol, nanoparticles, or fragrances suspected of causing allergies.

How much product should I use for one application?

A small amount is enough. Three pumps should be enough to thoroughly cleanse your face.

Do I need to use a toner after applying the product?

Yes, the combination of foam and toner is an absolute must. Together, they’re unbeatable. A toner can help regulate the skin’s pH level and prepare it to absorb additional active ingredients. This helps maintain the skin’s natural protective functions and acid mantle. We offer toners in two different varieties: Intense and Sensitive.

Can the cleansing foam dry out my skin?

Our cleansing foam is formulated to effectively cleanse the skin without drying it out. Panthenol and green tea have a particularly soothing effect.
