I've Tried Hundreds of Facial Cleansers, and I've Never Seen Anything Like This 1

First, to truly understand how this facial cleanser works, you should know about the technology behind it.

"Nanofiber" refers to a microscopically nonwoven textile that is spun and layered, creating tiny fibers that can carry all the good ingredients you want on your skin. "There has been considerable research and applications of nanofiber technology in dermatology specifically, such as skin tissue engineering and wound healing," said dermatologist Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, NYC-based dermatologist and founder of Entiere Dermatology. "The physicochemical properties of nanofibers allow for controlled delivery of medications." What does that mean though, exactly?

"One of the biggest differentiating factors is that the Phantom Cleansing Silks offer a purer delivery system of the active ingredients with no preservatives in a form that will oxidize far less over time," said Adelman. "So you're maximizing the effectiveness of the active ingredients."
