Key ingredients

  • Hinokitiol (Beta-T)
    Hinokitiol is Riversol’s signature antioxidant, derived from the Pacific red cedar. Riversol founder and award-winning dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers was first introduced to its potential during his time teaching at UBC, and made it the foundation of Riversol formulas.

Refreshing Gel Cleanser FAQ

What is Hinokitiol (Beta-T)?

Hinokitiol (Beta-T) is our signature antioxidant found in the Pacific red cedar. Studied for decades, it has been proven to have natural antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other natural skin-revitalizing properties. It helps even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and help correct dark spots.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Riversol products are dermatologist-developed for sensitive skin. Dr. Jason Rivers first created Riversol for patients who struggled to find skincare that delivered results without unnecessary irritation. That same philosophy guides our fragrance-free, paraben-free formulas, made with low-irritant ingredients chosen to support skin comfort.

Is Riversol hypoallergenic?

All Riversol products are produced and tested to the highest standards of tolerance on sensitive skin. They are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and cruelty free.

Will this cleanser remove makeup?

Both Hydrating Cream Cleanser and Refreshing Gel Cleanser are formulated with micellar technology to remove most makeup. To remove more stubborn or waterproof makeup, we recommend double cleansing with Micellar Water to fully remove makeup.

What are the differences between Hydrating Cream Cleanser and Refreshing Gel Cleanser?

Hydrating Cream Cleanser features a low-foaming creamy texture formulated for normal to dry and very dry skin, while Refreshing Gel Cleanser offers a low-foaming gel texture best suited to oily and combination skin.

Both gently remove makeup, dirt, and environmental impurities and help support the moisture barrier and skin’s natural pH.
