If you’ve ever wished for dream-like skin without the drama, meet my favorite cleanser for everyday use: Pro B5 Wash. I reach for it morning and night because it respects every skin type—dry skin, oily skin, normal skin, and combination skin—while actually doing the job: dissolving sunscreen, makeup removal, and excess oil without leaving behind tightness. It’s the face wash I trust on acne-prone skin and sensitive skin because it supports a healthy skin barrier instead of stripping it.
Why the “Pro B5” name matters
Pro-vitamin b (DL-panthenol) is a water-soluble vitamin tied to pantothenic acid. In skin care products, it hums along in the upper layer of the skin, drawing in hydration and helping skin cells stay flexible. That means smoother texture, less visible flaking on dehydrated skin, and better comfort after cleansing. The benefits of vitamin b show up fast when you use it on the entire face.
The real ingredient list (and why it works)
Here’s exactly what’s inside: Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside, Glycereth-26, Lactobacillus Ferment, Glycerin, DL-Panthenol, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, and Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate.Â
Cocamidopropyl betaine plus decyl and lauryl glucoside are gentle cleansers that lift debris without roughness—perfect for sensitive skin and acne-prone skin. Glycerin and Glycereth-26 flood the surface with hydration for smooth skin; panthenol (our pro-vitamin b) reinforces a healthy skin barrier. Lactobacillus ferment is a soothing postbiotic. Xanthan gum gives that silky glide.Â
Balanced by hydration, not harshness or pore cloggers
Notice what’s not here: no olive oil, macadamia oil, or shea butter, and no high-level exfoliating acids. Instead of leaning on glycolic acid or lactic acid, this cleanser stays barrier-friendly so your skincare routine layers—acid serums, acne treatments, and moisturizers—can do the targeted work. If you’re sensitive, that’s a win.
How I use it (AM/PM)
AM: I wash my face every morning in the shower with Pro B5 Wash, then follow with my morning skin care routine (antioxidant serum and sun protection).
Midday: If I’m going to ride my bike or work out after work, I wash my face with Pro B5 Wash first, then apply my sunscreen.
PM: I start with micellar water as a pre-cleanse to remove sweat and heavy makeup. Then I do my first cleanse with Pro B5 Wash, rinse, and follow with a second cleanse with Pro B5 Wash. After that, I move into my nighttime routine.
Why I double cleanse: It’s essential—especially if you wear sunscreen, waterproof makeup, or sweat a lot. I can’t tell you how many clients say they “washed” before coming in and still have makeup trapped in their pores and along the hairline. Double cleansing fixes that.
Texture, feel, and results
Pro B5 Wash is cushiony and rinse-clean, designed for the body’s outer covering—the largest organ—to feel balanced. With everyday use, clients report calmer-looking skin, refined pores, and that “dream skin” glow. It’s become my favorite cleanser for teens, mamas, and anyone building a gentle, effective skin care routine.
Label FAQs you ask me about
You sometimes see terms like disodium EDTA, sodium benzoate, citric acid, sodium hydroxide, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, 14-16 olefin sulfonate, acrylates crosspolymer-4, milk protein, sodium hydrolyzed potato starch dodecenylsuccinate, sodium c, and vitamin e on other face wash labels. Those aren’t in Pro B5 Wash. We keep it streamlined on purpose so it plays nicely with our Skin+ targeted skincare products.
Who it’s for
Because it’s made for the full spectrum—dry skin to oily skin—it slides into any skincare routine. Sensitive skin types love that it’s for external use only and doesn’t over-exfoliate. Busy parents ask about baby skincare; while gentle cleansers are wonderful for the reach of children, Pro B5 Wash is formulated for adults.

How to use
Apply a nickel-sized amount to a wet face, massage face over the total area for a full minute, then rinse. Pat dry, follow with actives suited to your skin type, and moisturize. For acne-prone skin: rotate in targeted leave-ons; for dehydrated skin: layer hydrators. And always double cleanse.Â
Pair it with
For hydration after cleansing, I like our Aloe H20 Toner and aloe vera gel under moisturizer like our HylaVera; both play well with Pro B5 without pilling. Antioxidants like vitamin C are great in the daytime, followed by sun protection. If your skin throws excess oil mid-day, blot and keep cleansing gently rather than scrubbing. Remember that hair care products can transfer to the skin and trigger bumps along the hairline; rinse thoroughly after workouts. And because your skin is your body’s outer covering, treat it kindly every single day.
Bottom line
If you want smooth skin without sacrificing your healthy skin barrier, Pro B5 Wash belongs in your daily line-up. It’s the simple switch that makes everything else in your skin care routine work better. popular ingredient talk can distract, but this favorite cleanser keeps focus where it should be: clean, comfortable, balanced skin.
