The pattern

That squeaky-clean feeling? That's the sound of something being taken.

Skin that tightens before you've finished drying off.
A scalp that feels fine in the shower and tight an hour later.
The best moisturizer in the house, undone every night by four minutes of washing.

Squeaky is friction. Friction means the film is gone — not just the day's dirt, but the acidic layer your skin made itself. You can't moisturize your way out of a wash that keeps removing it.

The fix isn't washing less. It's a wash built to different specs — 100% plant-derived surfactants, held at skin's own pH 5.5, carrying 20,000 ppm of encapsulated vitamin E — and the specs start with a number nobody prints.

The number nobody prints

Your skin lives at pH 5.5. Most washes don't.

Healthy skin holds a slightly acidic film — the acid mantle — at roughly pH 5.5. Most shampoos and body washes sit between 6.5 and 8.0, and plain soap is higher still. Every wash pushes the surface out of its own range.

Published work puts recovery of that film at up to six hours after an alkaline wash, and reports that repeated washing at pH 8 over several weeks is associated with a weaker, more reactive barrier. Wash twice a day and the surface spends much of its life climbing back.

So we built this at 5.5 and refused to leave it. Plant-derived surfactants only, no sulfates — which is also why the lather is fine and dense rather than billowing, and why nothing squeaks at the end.

One bottle, three jobs

A wash that's kind to a scalp should be kind to a face.

The three-bottle shower is a marketing arrangement, not a dermatological one. It's all one organ; what damages it in one place damages it in another.

hairand scalp

No sulfates, no silicone

SLS and SLES are the reason most shampoos foam the way they do, and the reason scalps feel tight after. There's no silicone coating either — which means hair may feel less slippery at first, and settles as it dries. Long hair still wants a conditioner.

facedaily

Mild enough to be the cleanser

Same pH as the skin you're washing, plant-derived surfactants, no added perfume. Fine as an everyday face wash; for heavy makeup, take that off first.

bodyevery age

Nothing left tight afterwards

The point isn't how clean it feels in the moment — it's how your skin feels ten minutes after you've dried off. That's the only test of a wash that matters.

At a glance

The wash itself, in six facts.

The argument is above. This is the bottle — what it does in your hand, and what it leaves behind.

Lather

Fine and dense

Small-bubbled rather than billowing, because there are no sulfates in it. It rinses clean and leaves no squeak.

Acidity

pH 5.5

Where most shampoos and body washes sit between 6.5 and 8.0. The whole formula was built around holding this number.

Scent

Faintly herbal

No synthetic perfume. What you notice comes from the botanicals themselves — quiet enough for a household, but not a fragrance-free product.

Key actives

Vitamin E · Centella

20,000 ppm of encapsulated pure vitamin E — unusual in something you rinse off — with centella and green tea.

Where

Scalp, face, body

330 ml pump, for every age in the house. One bottle replaces three, which is the practical argument for its price.

Without

SLS · SLES · silicone

No sulfate surfactants, no silicone coating, no synthetic fragrance. The cleansing agents are 100% plant-derived.

Dear Lauren Intensive bath — One 330 ml pump for hair, face and body — plant-derived surfactants, held at pH 5.5.

Measured, not claimed

Two safety studies. And no efficacy trial, because we didn't run one.

Our creams and lotions carry efficacy studies with protocol codes. This is a wash — it's on your skin for two minutes — so what we tested was whether it irritates. Twice, the second time on skin screened to be reactive.

What people notice after they dry off.

Averaging ★4.94 across our Korean stores — and Dear Lauren took the Forbes 2025 Best Brand Award for derma skincare in Korea.

"I'm very sensitive to fragrance — anything artificial or heavy gives me a headache — so the first pump was the real test, and it passed instantly. The formula is clear, and the lather isn't big soapy bubbles; it's fine and dense and rinses clean. What I really noticed is how my skin feels afterward. No dryness, no reaction. Nothing at all."

Verified buyer · ★★★★★ · Feb 2025

"My legs kept going dry and breaking out in little rough bumps. The lotion and cream had already done so much for me that I switched my wash over too. It foams up well — I shower with it and then finish with the lotion. Maybe because it doesn't strip anything out, my skin has been getting softer and softer."

J.K. · ★★★★★ · verified purchase

"I'd been jumping from product to product because of my child, whose skin stayed dry no matter what. The first thing that struck me here is that it isn't harshly perfumed. It foams well, and afterwards there's none of that tight, stripped feeling. One bottle doing everything makes bath time simple — and even my husband, whose skin reacts to almost everything, washes with it."

The price, itemized

Nobody expects a wash to be expensive.

It goes down the drain, so it's the first place a brand economizes. This is what you're paying for instead:

Holding pH 5.5

Formulating a cleanser at skin's own pH rules out most of the preservative systems and most of the cheap surfactants in the industry. It is a constraint that removes options at every step — which is precisely why so few washes do it.

Plant-derived cleansing agents, 100%

Sulfates are cheap, foam gloriously, and feel like cleaning. We use plant-derived surfactants that cost more and foam less — and leave the acid mantle where it was.

Active ingredients in something you rinse off

20,000 ppm of encapsulated pure vitamin E in a wash makes no commercial sense — most of it goes down the drain. It's there because two minutes of contact is still two minutes.

One more piece of math: this is shampoo, face wash and body wash in a single 330 ml pump, for everyone in the house. And if it still doesn't earn its price on your skin, the next section is for you.

The promise

We sell change, not soap.

Really — shampoo and face wash from the same bottle?

Yes. It's formulated at skin pH with plant-derived surfactants and no added perfume, which is what makes it mild enough for a face. Take heavy makeup off first.

My hair feels different at first. Is that normal?

There's no silicone in it, so hair isn't coated the way most shampoos coat it. It settles as it dries. If your hair is long, use a conditioner on the lengths.

Why isn't there more foam?

Foam comes mostly from sulfates, which are the thing we removed. Lather volume and cleaning are not the same measurement — this one is fine-bubbled and cleans completely.

Is it fragrance-free?

No synthetic fragrance is added, but the botanicals leave a faint herbal scent. If you need a formula with no fragrance ingredients at all, the Intensive Cream, Intensive Lotion and Intensive Soothing Gel all qualify.

Can children use it?

It was built as a whole-family wash and measured 0.000 on both irritation studies above. Keep it out of eyes, and rinse thoroughly.

★★★★★

My scalp and skin are both sensitive, so I always use low-irritation products. I bought this on a friend's recommendation, and it's better than I expected. It's all-in-one, so I carry less when I take it to the gym. And because it's mildly acidic, I can share it with my child. The pump lets me use just as much as I need, and the texture isn't too runny. … A small amount lathers richly, and the fresh scent makes washing a pleasure. Since I started using it, my scalp is much less itchy, my skin stays moist, and my scalp feels clean, with no more blemishes or itching. I thought it was pricey for the size, but the ingredients are good and it doesn't irritate my skin, so I'm going to keep using it.

Now that I'm in my thirties I've realized scalp care really matters, so I bought this on a friend's recommendation. It was my first time using it, and it cleans so well that my scalp feels truly refreshed after washing! I have a combination scalp that gets oily by the afternoon, but after using this the fresh feeling lasts much longer, and I'm happy with it. … It lathers richly, the scent isn't strong, and the pump makes it easy to use in the shower.

★★★★★

My skin is sensitive, and this suits it with no redness or blemishes, so I use it without worry. It rinses clean with no residue, and my skin still feels soft. The pump makes it easy to use just the right amount. When my scalp is itchy or sensitive, it feels like gentle care, and I'm satisfied.

★★★★★

My child is far more energetic and active than other kids, and if there's no running around outside after daycare, things get very hard at home. But for a child with eczema-prone skin, sweat is truly the worst thing: the skin stings and the scratching goes on all day. So when we come home from playing and it's bath time, I love that this one shampoo washes the sweat off quickly. I accidentally splashed some lather into my child's eye, and there was no burning or stinging.

★★★★★

A close friend told me her hair felt stronger after using this and recommended it, so I tried it, and I love it! … The pump bottle is easy to use, and the scent is light and lovely. I have long hair, and after washing, the weight would pull it flat at the crown and it would snap limply when I brushed it. Washing with this and drying it, my hair has body all the way through, so it doesn't fall flat and has bounce and volume. Even with long hair it holds up without drooping. I think I'm settling on this one.

The bath wash came out after the lotion and cream, and I got it as a gift. It was so good that I finished it and bought it again! I've had extremely dry, badly eczema-prone skin since I was little, and I worry so much that my daughter will turn out the same that I always try things on myself first. I liked it so much myself that I bought it again! It really is less itchy. When there was just a little left I let my child have it and used something else, and I was itchy right away. Please, please keep making this.

I used only the lotion and cream for about two months, and they moisturized so well that I ordered the wash too and am using it now. I'm going through menopause with eczema-prone skin all over, so I use it on my whole body, and my scalp is less itchy. I recommend the wash too.

H.K. · Customer in Korea · Translated from Korean

★★★★★

A friend tried it first and recommended it, and now I see why. It lathers softly when I shampoo, and the clean feeling lasts after rinsing. My scalp is sensitive and even small things used to bother it, but since I started using this it feels much more comfortable. … The scent is light and easy to live with, and the pump bottle is convenient. … I think I'll keep using it.

★★★★★

As the weather gets hotter my roots go limp, and only the crown of my head ends up greasy. I wanted to switch to a gentle, mildly acidic shampoo, and I chose this one because the reviews were good and it washes hair and body in one. Just as described, it isn't a squeaky-clean kind of wash, but it lathers softly and cleans gently, which I like. My scalp is definitely more comfortable, with no irritation and no itching. It's easy on a sensitive scalp and good for the whole family to share.

My scalp is on the sensitive side, so I was looking for a shampoo that wouldn't irritate it, and I'm really satisfied. There's no stinging or tightness on my scalp at all, and it lathers softly. … After washing, my scalp feels at ease. It's gentle enough for the whole family to share, and the scent is light, not harsh. … I'd recommend it to anyone with a sensitive scalp.

Gentle and good. With sensitive skin, not just anything will do, but this is good, with no irritation. It's a bath wash and shampoo in one, so this one bottle takes care of everything from head to toe. So simple.

My six-year-old boy has very dry skin, and every winter his scalp got so dry that he kept scratching even after a shampoo. Since we switched to Dear Lauren he doesn't scratch, and I'm honestly amazed. It cleans well too.

★★★★★

At first I was looking for a good product because my baby's skin was so dry. But after giving birth my own skin got so bad that I started using it myself, figuring I had nothing to lose. I wish it came in an adult version too. I especially recommend the bath wash: the blotchy redness has gone down a lot, and the itching is down by 90 percent. I get terribly dry in winter, and it moisturizes well too. I just wish it cost a little less.

M.L. · Customer in Korea · Translated from Korean

★★★★★

… I have eczema-prone, sensitive skin, so I go looking for baby products to use on myself. I especially love that you can use it as both shampoo and shower gel. … I don't use regular store-bought shampoos, but I'm going to use this one. …

★★★★★

My kids have sensitive skin, so we can't use just anything, but this is mildly acidic and so gentle that I'm truly happy with it! We used to use a separate wash and shampoo, and every bath was a battle. All-in-one makes life so much easier. It lathers richly and the scent isn't harsh, so my child enjoys the shower. … There's no tightness at all after showering, and hair comes out soft. My husband had a very itchy scalp, and he's happy that it has calmed down a lot since he started using this. … The pump is smooth enough that my child presses it without help. … When this runs out I'm stocking up. We've found our bath & shampoo for life!

My teenage daughter was worried about her skin, so I bought a bottle just to try, and now we're on our second. Without my even asking, she said, "Oh, Mom, that body wash from last time is really good, you know? I don't know how to explain what's good about it, but my skin is soft even when I don't put on lotion." She's a kid who barely talks, lol, and here she is volunteering a product review! Five stars it is, lol.

I have a sensitive scalp, so I look closely at ingredients and at how a shampoo feels, and this one is gentle enough that I'm satisfied. It lathers softly, and my scalp feels less tight and dry after washing. After several days of steady use, my scalp feels comfortable and clean, which I like. It isn't overly squeaky after washing but still leaves me refreshed, so it works as an everyday shampoo. It feels gentle enough for the whole family to share. …

It cleans well but it's gentle, so my scalp feels comfortable. It's a bath wash and shampoo in one, which my husband especially likes. It lathers more than I expected, and it leaves us feeling fresh, so it's good for the whole family. My hair is soft afterward, and I'm completely satisfied. Brushing my daughters' hair in the morning is easier now. I recommend it.

Customer in Korea · Translated from Korean

★★★★★

I reordered what we always use. With this shampoo, hair is soft even without a separate treatment. I have sensitive skin too, so I use it as well. I wish there were a cream-and-bath set.

M.L. · Customer in Korea · Translated from Korean

★★★★★

Between the dryness and the head-scratching that comes whenever my child is sleepy, cranky or hungry, the scalp was badly flaky. I kept putting on balm and washing just the hair morning and evening, and still the underlying problem wasn't solved. The Dear Lauren lotion and cream are good, so I figured the shampoo would be too, and tried it. The flakes on the scalp have mostly gone, and I was amazed that even when my child scratches, not many flakes come up! Any spot that does flake gets better with the Dear Lauren cream or lotion, so Dear Lauren solved the scalp flakes too.
