Foaming Facial Cleanser
The step that makes everything after it work harder.
Pre-order now.
A rich, foaming cleanser formulated to remove makeup, sunscreen, and the day itself — so everything that follows can do its job.
Every ritual has to start somewhere honest. Velvet was formulated the way a pharmacist thinks about a first step: not the star of the routine, but the reason the rest of it works.
A dense, luxurious foam lifts away makeup, sunscreen, and the oil and impurity of the day, then rinses away completely — no film, no tightness, no residue left behind. What's left is skin that feels clean, balanced, and genuinely ready for the serums and moisturizers that follow.
Suitable for normal, combination, dry, oily, and sensitive skin. Formulated for morning and evening use.

Gentle Cleansing
What it is: A humectant ingredient long used in skincare formulation to support the look of soft, comfortable skin.
Why we selected it: Foaming cleansers can leave skin feeling tight. Panthenol was chosen to counter that, so the cleanse stays thorough without feeling harsh.
What you'll notice: Skin feels clean, not stripped, immediately after rinsing.
Sourced through our pharmacist-selected formulation.
Deep Hydration
What it is: A lightweight derivative of hyaluronic acid, recognized for helping skin hold onto moisture.
Why we selected it: To help keep the skin barrier feeling supported through the one step in the routine most likely to disrupt it.
What you'll notice: Skin feels prepped rather than parched, and more receptive to what comes next.
Sourced through our pharmacist-selected formulation.
Smooths Texture
What it is: A compound naturally present in skin, included here in a modest, balanced concentration.
Why we selected it: To support the look of smooth, refined-feeling texture without disrupting the barrier this cleanser is designed to protect.
What you'll notice: A soft, smooth feel to skin after rinsing, not a tingling or active-treatment sensation.

“Eight weeks in and my skin genuinely looks different, calmer, less reactive, and the dull patch on my cheeks has faded. First routine I've actually stuck with, because it feels good to use, not just good on paper.”
Eleanor R.“I was skeptical of another skincare brand promising more than it delivers, but the formulation here is real. No burning, no purging, just steady, visible improvement over about a month.”
Priya S.“Reordered before I'd even finished the bottle. The texture is beautiful and a little goes such a long way, worth every dollar, and it arrived hand-numbered, which felt like a nice touch.”
Camille D.The first step in a routine deserves the same discipline as the last one. If it doesn't set the skin up to receive everything that follows, it doesn't belong in the ritual.
Before Chemistrie was a skincare brand, it was a pharmacy counter. Harin and Zach spent 21+ years collectively behind that counter, compounding prescriptions for people who trusted them with the most literal version of "put this on your skin." Their wives had asked for years to have them formulate skin care products better than what they were paying so much for with less than ideal results. Chemistrie exists because that same rigor, measured, tested, formulated by someone who has to be right, not just persuasive, deserved to exist outside a prescription pad.
