4.0 fl oz / 118 ml
Result
1 ) Clean Without Compromise
Impurities, excess oil, and environmental residue are removed completely without disrupting the moisture barrier or altering the skin's natural equilibrium. Pores appear visibly refined. The surface is clear. The skin is not stripped, not tight, not sensitized. It is simply, precisely clean.
2 ) Softness That Precedes Treatment
Soy and wheat proteins smooth surface roughness and combat slackness while hyaluronic acid maintains suppleness throughout the cleanse. Chamomile and Aloe Vera calm any reactivity at the surface. What emerges is skin that feels genuinely nourished – not despite having been cleansed, but because of how it was done.
3 ) A Surface Ready to Receive
Carrot Root, Folic Acid, and Vitamin A Palmitate begin their work at the cleansing stage supporting cellular renewal, boosting microcirculation, and priming the skin's receptivity before a single treatment is applied. The result of the Champagne Gel Cleanser is not just clean skin. It is skin in its optimal state to absorb, respond, and repair. Everything that follows performs better because of this moment.
The Formulation
Developed by Dr. Jennifer Biglow – dermatologist and the originator of the all-in-one treatment category. Fragrance-free. A cult formula carried by Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom, selected for the Oscars and Grammy gift suites, and trusted by the skin that cannot afford to compromise. Architected to penetrate beyond the stratum corneum to the dermal layer where collagen is synthesized, elastin is maintained, and the biological processes that determine how skin ages are actually governed. Most formulas stop at the surface. Re-Storation®was designed to begin where they end.
Application
Massage a small amount into dampened skin, moving gently across the face and neck. Rinse with warm water. Pat dry. Morning. Evening. Without exception.

Cleansing is not a step.
It is a first act.
1. Purity Without Compromise
Champagne extract and botanical actives remove impurities, excess oil, and environmental pollutants without disrupting the skin's natural equilibrium. Alcohol-free. Oil-free. Nothing excessive.
2. Softness, Not Stripping
Soy and wheat proteins smooth and tone while Aloe Vera Leaf Juice and Chamomile calm the surface. The skin that emerges is not just clean – it is soft, balanced, and receptive.
3. Intelligent Preparation
Every application prepares the skin for what follows. The formula primes without stripping, so that subsequent treatments: particularly Re-Storation® Skin Treatment absorb at full capacity.
Formula Intelligence
Re-Storation® formula is not a blend. It is a sequence.Each ingredient positioned to amplify the next.
Advanced Hydration
Hydration held through the rinse
Hyaluronic acid doesn't pause for cleansing. Our formula retains superior moisture levels throughout the process, so that what the skin loses to impurities, it keeps in suppleness.
Antioxidant Shield
Protection is not an afterthought
Vitamins A and E, green tea, grape seed extract, and superoxide dismutase form a botanical and enzymatic complex that actively defends skin during cleansing – not just before or after. Long-term skin health begins here.
Botanical Intelligence
Calm, delivered through chemistry
Calendula, chamomile, and comfrey soothe at the surface. Beneath it, a Vitamin B complex: B2, B3, B9, B12 conditions and refines, while Vitamin K stabilizes the vascular tone responsible for clarity and evenness.
THE FORMULATION
What reaches the skin depends entirely on how it was prepared.
The Champagne Gel Cleanser was formulated with the same clinical precision brought to every Z.Bigatti product. The understanding was simple and largely ignored by the industry: a compromised cleanse produces a compromised result. This formula does not merely clean, it sets the conditions for everything that follows.
28 years of refinement. Carried by Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom. Trusted by the physicians who understand what the formula is actually doing.
FAQ
Why does a cleanser matter at this price point?
Because what the skin absorbs is determined entirely by the condition of the surface it is absorbed through. A cleanser that strips the barrier, disrupts pH, or leaves residue actively undermines the performance of everything applied after it – regardless of how sophisticated those formulas are. The Champagne Gel Cleanser was formulated to remove what the skin doesn't need without disturbing what it does. At $108, it is not the most expensive step in the ritual. It is the one that makes every other step worth it.
Is this cleanser suitable for all skin types?
Yes. The formula is alcohol-free, oil-free, and fragrance-balanced calibrated to cleanse effectively without aggression. Soy and wheat proteins, hyaluronic acid, chamomile, and aloe work together to maintain barrier integrity across all skin types, including those prone to sensitivity, dryness, or congestion.
How does champagne extract benefit the skin?
Champagne extract contributes tartaric acid: a gentle alpha hydroxy acid alongside antioxidant polyphenols that visibly refine pore appearance and brighten skin tone over time. Its action during cleansing is not cosmetic. It is a functional resurfacing and antioxidant delivery that occurs before any treatment is applied – priming the skin at the first step rather than waiting for the last.
Should I use this before the Silk Toner and Re-Storation®?
Always. The Champagne Gel Cleanser is the first step in the Z. Bigatti ritual – the foundation on which everything else is built. Cleanse first, tone second, treat third. Applied in this sequence, each step amplifies the one that follows. Applied out of sequence, or with a lesser cleanser, the system underperforms.
Can I use this cleanser morning and evening?
Yes, and it should be used both morning and evening without exception. The morning cleanse removes what the skin has produced and accumulated overnight, preparing it for daytime treatment and SPF. The evening cleanse removes the environmental burden of the day and prepares the skin for overnight recovery. Both applications are necessary. The ritual begins here, twice daily.
How much product is needed per application?
A small amount (approximately coin-sized) is sufficient for a full cleanse of the face and neck. The gel activates with water and does not require excess product to perform. Apply to dampened skin, massage gently in circular motions, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat dry. Do not rub.
