Dealing with that constant feeling of oiliness and the breakouts that follow in our warm, humid weather can be frustrating. This cleanser is your first step towards a more balanced complexion.

• Who it's for: Oily, combination, and normal skin types, including those with sensitivity.
• What it does: Deeply cleanses pores of dirt, sweat, and excess oil without stripping the skin, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated.
• Key Features: Maintains a healthy skin pH of 5.5, which helps prevent dryness and irritation.
• Feel: A rich cream that lathers into a soft foam and rinses clean without any tightness.

1. Cleanser: Start with this cleansing foam to create a clean base.
2. Moisturiser (PM): Follow with a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser to lock in hydration.
3. Sunscreen (AM): Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect your skin.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have a gentle cleanser, we encourage you to finish it before opening a new one. Substitute, don't just stack.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. [THIS PRODUCT] AXIS-Y Sunday Morning Refreshing Cleansing Foam
2. Optional: A lightweight, hydrating toner if you feel you need an extra layer of water-based hydration.
3. Sunscreen: A non-negotiable final step to protect your skin.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Double Cleanse (Recommended): Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, then follow with [THIS PRODUCT] for a deep clean.
2. [THIS PRODUCT] AXIS-Y Sunday Morning Refreshing Cleansing Foam (if not double cleansing).
3. Moisturiser: A simple, hydrating cream to support your skin barrier overnight.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount.
• Method: Lather the cream with a little water in your palms to create a rich foam. Gently massage onto your damp face for 30-60 seconds, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use morning and evening, every day.
• Double Cleansing (PM): If you wear sunscreen or makeup, it's best to use an oil cleanser first to dissolve them, and then use this foam cleanser as your second step to wash everything away. This ensures your pores are truly clean.

• Daily Use: This cleanser is gentle enough to be used every morning (AM) and every evening (PM). It forms the foundation of your routine, preparing your skin for any other products you use.

• Immediately: Skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed without any tight or "squeaky" feeling.
• 2-4 Weeks: You may notice a reduction in surface oiliness and a calmer complexion as your skin's pH remains balanced. Skin texture may start to feel smoother.
• 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use as part of a good routine, skin appears more balanced, and breakouts related to clogged pores may become less frequent.

Why use a pH-balanced foam cleanser, not a harsh bar soap or facial scrub?

Harsh soaps and aggressive scrubs can strip your skin's natural protective oils. This damages your skin barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and even an overproduction of oil as your skin tries to compensate. A pH-balanced cleanser like this one respects your skin's natural acidity, cleaning effectively while keeping your barrier healthy and intact.

• Works Well With: As a gentle foundational step, this cleanser is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients, including Vitamin C, retinoids, and exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA). It creates a clean canvas for these actives to work effectively.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. However, always follow with hydrating products. Relying on any cleanser alone without moisturizing afterwards can lead to dehydration over time.
• How to Double Cleanse: At night, first massage an oil-based cleanser onto your dry face to dissolve sunscreen and makeup. Rinse with water, then use this foam cleanser on your damp face to wash away any remaining residue.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. It effectively removes excess sebum without causing the rebound oiliness that harsh cleansers can trigger.
• Normal Skin: Very suitable for maintaining a healthy balance.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated due to its gentle, low-pH formula. A patch test is always recommended.
• Dry Skin: May find it slightly drying if used as the sole cleanser. It's best for dry skin types when used as a second step after a nourishing oil or balm cleanser.

• Excess Oiliness & Sebum Control
• Clogged Pores & Impurities
• Maintaining a Healthy Skin Barrier
• Surface Dehydration
• General Cleansing for Sensitive Skin

Who should use this?

Ideal for individuals with normal, combination, or oily skin looking for a gentle yet effective daily cleanser.

Who should use with caution?

Those with extremely dry or compromised skin might find it not nourishing enough if used alone. Always follow with a moisturizer.

Patch Test Protocol:

Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner arm. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product on your face.

Safety Note: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a professional if the issue persists.

• Texture & Finish: A thick, pearlescent cream that transforms into a soft, milky foam with water. It rinses off cleanly, leaving skin feeling fresh and supple, not stripped or tight.
• pH Level: Approximately 5.5. This is within the skin's natural healthy pH range, which helps to protect the skin's moisture barrier and microbiome.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product is generally considered fungal acne-safe as it is formulated without most common triggers like oils, fatty acids, and esters that can feed the Malassezia yeast.

• "My skin feels a bit tight after use." You might be using too much product or washing for too long. Use only a pea-sized amount and massage for no more than 60 seconds. Always follow immediately with a hydrating toner and moisturizer while your skin is still slightly damp.
• "I'm still getting breakouts." This cleanser is excellent for removing surface oil and dirt. However, if you wear makeup or heavy sunscreen, you may need to double cleanse at night with an oil-based cleanser first to ensure everything is fully removed from your pores.
• "It's not removing my waterproof mascara." This is a water-based foam cleanser and is not designed to remove heavy, waterproof eye makeup. Use a dedicated biphasic (oil and water) eye makeup remover for that purpose before you cleanse your face.

This cleanser is perfectly suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius. Its ability to thoroughly cleanse away sweat, excess sebum, and daily grime without stripping the skin is ideal for preventing clogged pores and breakouts. The refreshing, non-drying finish feels comfortable year-round, from the humid summer months to the milder winter season. It's an excellent choice to start and end your day feeling fresh.

With a generous 120ml size, this cleanser offers excellent value. Using the recommended pea-sized amount (approximately 0.5ml) twice daily, one tube should last for about 4 months (120 days). We recommend reordering when you are about three-quarters of the way through to ensure you don't run out.

• Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner - Adds a layer of lightweight hydration and calms the skin.

This cleanser is an excellent choice if your primary goal is a gentle, pH-balanced wash that manages oil without causing dryness. However, your skin might benefit from a different approach if your needs are more specific:

• For More Active Breakouts: COSRX SALICYLIC ACID DAILY GENTLE CLEANSER 150ML — Choose this if you need an exfoliating boost. Why: It contains Salicylic Acid (BHA) to actively unclog pores and target acne.
• For Extremely Sensitive or Dry Skin: ROUND LAB 1025 DOKDO CLEANSER 150ML — Choose this if other cleansers leave you feeling tight. Why: It's renowned for being incredibly gentle and hydrating, thanks to deep sea water minerals and hyaluronic acid.
• For a Brightening Boost: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA TONE BRIGHTENING CLEANSING GEL FOAM — Choose this if you're also concerned with dullness or dark spots. Why: It includes brightening ingredients to help even out your skin tone right from the cleansing step.

Mindful Use Reminder: If you already have a gentle cleanser at home that you enjoy, we encourage you to finish it first. Understanding how one product works for your skin before introducing another is key to building an effective routine.

• Packaging: Comes in a 120ml soft-touch plastic tube with a flip-top cap. It's easy to dispense and hygienic.
• Sustainability: The outer carton is made from recyclable paper. Please check with local guidelines in Mauritius for recycling the plastic tube.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, like a cabinet or drawer. Avoid leaving it in a hot car.
• Travel: The 120ml size is slightly over the typical 100ml airline carry-on limit, so you would need to decant it into a smaller container for air travel.

AXIS-Y is a community-focused, climate-inspired Korean skincare brand. They create effective, natural, and vegan-friendly formulas designed to address skin concerns affected by modern life, such as pollution, stress, and climate. Their signature 6+1+1 formulation method combines six nutrient-rich base ingredients, one core goal-oriented ingredient, and one quality-producing technology in every product.

pH

A scale to measure acidity or alkalinity. The skin's natural surface is slightly acidic (pH 4.5-5.5). Using products in this range helps keep its protective barrier healthy.

Skin Barrier

The outermost layer of your skin, responsible for keeping moisture in and irritants out. A healthy barrier is key to calm, hydrated skin.

Surfactant

The cleansing agent in a wash-off product. Gentle surfactants, like those used here, clean the skin effectively without stripping its natural oils.

Non-comedogenic

A term for products formulated in a way that they are not likely to cause pore blockages (comedones) and breakouts.

At Adilsons, we are committed to integrity and your well-being. We carefully curate our selection, prioritizing evidence-based formulations and ethical brands. We guarantee that every product we sell is 100% authentic, sourced directly from brands or their authorized distributors. Your trust is the foundation of our work.

1. Is this cleanser suitable for removing makeup?

It can remove light, everyday makeup. However, for heavy foundation or waterproof products (like mascara and long-wear sunscreen), we strongly recommend using an oil-based cleanser first (double cleansing) for a thorough clean.

2. Why is a low-pH cleanser important?

Your skin has a naturally acidic protective layer called the acid mantle. High-pH cleansers (like many bar soaps) can disrupt this barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and even more breakouts. A low-pH cleanser like this one (at 5.5) cleans without disturbing this vital barrier.

3. Can I use this if I have dry skin?

You can, but it's best used as the second step in a double-cleanse routine after a more nourishing oil or balm. If used alone, some dry skin types may find it not hydrating enough. Always follow with a good moisturizer.

4. Is it safe for sensitive, acne-prone skin?

Yes, it's an excellent choice. The gentle formula cleans without irritation, and the soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Green Tea help to calm inflammation associated with acne.
