General Information

Reveal Clear Skin with Skipper’s Face Wash

For that fresh-faced feeling that leaves you glowy and clean, you can’t go wrong with Skipper’s face wash. Packed with ingredients that support your skin barrier while helping keep acne and redness at bay, this everyday cleanser is the perfect companion for your face. On top of keeping your face feeling fantastic, it reduces single-use plastic and keeps the environment cleaner and happier, too.

Why Choose Skipper Face Wash?

Finding the right skincare can be a challenge, especially when there seems to be a different product for every skin type and body. Skipper makes it easier, taking the guesswork away by delivering effective face and body skincare that works for all skin types. Beautifully packaged up in reusable pump bottles, our rich, foamy cleanser is kind to your skin, affordable and made to be refilled for life. 

 

Gentle Cleansing for Sensitive Skin

The skin on our faces is more delicate than the rest of our bodies, meaning it can be a little more sensitive to what we put on it. One of the best bits about our face wash is that it’s designed to be effective without being harsh, meaning even finicky skin will feel fresh, clean and comfortable with Skipper.

  

Targeted Ingredients for Skin Health

Washing your face isn’t just about getting clean; it’s an important part of your routine and can make a world of difference when it comes to maintaining a healthy skin barrier. With ingredients like niacinamide and salicylic acid that help keep you blemish-free and boost your skin’s brightness, our face wash is more than just a cleanser—it’s an important part of your skincare routine! 

  

Vegan and Cruelty-Free

At Skipper, we’ve always placed a strong emphasis on looking after the planet and doing our bit for the environment. Animals are no exception to this focus, which is why all of our products are vegan and cruelty-free. This means we don’t use animal testing, and our face wash is totally free of any animal-derived products, too.

Benefits of Skipper’s Face Wash

Skipper’s face wash was created to deliver the perfect blend of skin-cleaning capabilities and supportive ingredients. While for oily skin types, you might be inclined towards more soapy cleansers, and dry or sensitive skin may avoid cleansers altogether, ours was designed to bring your skin back into balance. 

  

Removes Impurities Without Over-Drying

One of the key features of our skin and body care products is that they don’t include harsh ingredients like phthalates, parabens or triclosan. Instead, we opted for more gentle options that help you wash off makeup, leftover sunscreen and environmental pollution without stripping the essential barrier of your skin. You’ll be left with a dewy, fresh-feeling face from a cleanser that can be used day and night. 

  

Helps Reduce Acne and Blemishes

Our hero ingredient, salicylic acid, helps to reduce redness, inflammation and the size of any breakouts you may experience. While the concept of acid may sound harsh, the pH of your skin is also acidic, making this formulation closer to the skin’s natural state. It’s a natural, gentle exfoliant that helps to remove dead skin cells that can be used every day for a more even skin and healthy skin texture. 

  

Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly Formulation

Our face wash isn’t just better for your skin—it’s better for the environment, too. All the ingredients we use are safe for grey water, meaning if you have a tank that feeds into your garden, your Skipper cleanser will break down and be safe for your plants, too. 

  

Along with safer ingredients, it’s also less impactful on the environment. When you order refills for your reusable dispenser, we’ll ship them out to you for free, and the only bit of waste you’ll have is the face wash wrapper. They can be popped into your compost bin to break down or into your regular rubbish bin.

How to Use Face Wash for Optimal Results

To get the best results from your face wash, we recommend applying it to your skin before you jump into the shower or wet your face. Given that our face wash is a just-add-water formulation anyway, you don’t need to add more when you’re actually using it. When you use our cleanser on dry skin, it’ll also help the ingredients do their job without getting diluted or washed off too quickly by the shower.

Skipper Face Wash for All Skin Types

Whether you’re a brand new Skipper customer or have tried our cleaning products before, give our face wash a go when you order next. To try it out before committing to a tin of refills, we even have a face wash sampler kit, making it easier than ever to find the skincare that works for you.

Standard FAQs

How does Skipper compare to other face wash?

Our face wash works just as well as any premium face cleanser you're used to, with high-quality hero ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and jojoba oil. Our face wash is a foaming cleanser which is gentle on skin and effectively cleanses without drying.

This world-first product is also signifantly more affordable than a comparable face wash, with refills costing no more than $7 each (150ml). This is a premium face wash which looks after your skin, and your wallet.

Don't be fooled by thinking an expensive product is required to look after your skin. The skin care industry has kept face cleanser prices high, only because consumer psychology permits it.

The reusable dispenser, face towel, refills tin and the process of adding water to a concentrated tablet to create the product is some other elements that also set us apart from other face wash.

Does Skipper face wash remove makeup?

Our foaming face wash is a very gentle formula, and removes light makeup only. For heavier makeup, we recommend pairing it with a reusable makeup round.

Is Skipper face wash a cleanser?

Yes, our face wash can be used as a cleanser to remove light makeup, dirt, grime and oil. It will leave your face feeling clean and fresh.

Should you wash your face daily?

Yes, it is important to wash your face daily to remove dirt and impurities, keeping your skin clean and healthy. We recommend washing your face morning and night with a gentle face wash suitable for daily use, such as Skipper's foaming face wash.

Is Skipper face wash suitable for dry and sensitive skin?

Yes, our face wash is formulated for all skin types and is suitable for sensitive skin.

Is Skipper face wash Australian-made?

Yes, our face wash is proudly manufactured in NSW, Australia. It's also a world-first of it's kind innovation!

How does it work?

In five easy steps you'll have a full bottle of foaming face wash:

1. Fill the dispenser with hot water from the tap.

2. Drop in a refill tablet.

3. Leave the pump off while it dissolves, typically about an hour.

4. Dispose the wrapper in the compost bin or regular trash.

5. Shake to activate before first use. This is important to ensure the solution is mixed properly.

That's it! Pump into your hands and massage onto your face before rinsing (the average adult uses 1-2 pumps per wash)

Pro tip: A foaming product uses less active ingredients versus a gel per pump. This means you'll consume a bottle of foaming soap faster than a gel—approximately every ~4 weeks if used twice daily by a single person.

Our refills are only $6.56-$7 each and remain better value overall when comparing to quality brands and traditional gel products.

Our ingredients are reviewed internally for known hazards to our environment, waterways, longevity of septic systems (harsher chemicals can wear components) and of course, exposure to humans and pets at home.

How much does it cost to refill?

Refilling your Skipper face wash is shockingly affordable, despite containing the top-quality ingredients you expect from an expensive and premium face wash. We also offer free shipping on all refills-only orders!
