[cite_start]
• Skin Type: Best for oily, combination, and sensitive skin types[cite: 198, 203].
[cite_start]
• Primary Concern: Excess sebum, clogged pores, and sensitivity[cite: 184, 185].
[cite_start]
• Key Feel: A clear, soft gel that lathers lightly and rinses clean without a tight feeling[cite: 185, 203].
[cite_start]
• Results: Skin feels clean, balanced, and refreshed, with less oiliness and fewer breakouts over time[cite: 185].

• 1) [THIS PRODUCT] — quick cleanse on a wet face.
• 2) Moisturiser (PM) / Sunscreen (AM) — seal & protect.
• Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack).

[cite_start]
• 1) [THIS PRODUCT] — Gently lather on a wet face for 30-60 seconds and rinse with lukewarm water[cite: 184].
• 2) Hydrating Toner/Essence (optional; adds slip).
[cite_start]
• 3) Targeted Serum (optional)[cite: 184].
• 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+.

Wait times: 30–60s between watery layers; 1–2 min before SPF/makeup.

[cite_start]
• 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if makeup/water-resistant SPF: oil → water)[cite: 184].
[cite_start]
• 2) [THIS PRODUCT] — As the second step of a double cleanse, or as your only cleanse if no makeup or SPF was worn[cite: 184].
• 3) Moisturiser/Oil (lock in hydration if needed).

Texture rule: thinnest → thickest.

• Daily Use — AM/PM:
[cite_start]
• Amount: A pea-sized amount is enough to create a light lather[cite: 184].
[cite_start]
• Apply to: Wet face and neck[cite: 184].
[cite_start]
• Method: Gently massage the gel into your skin for a full minute, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water[cite: 184].
• Wait times: 30–60s between watery layers; 1–2 min before SPF/makeup; 5–10 min before heavy oils.
[cite_start]
• Frequency: Can be used twice daily, morning and night, as your primary cleanser[cite: 184].
• If-This / Then-That:
• Very oily T-zone? [cite_start]Focus a bit more massage time on the T-zone to ensure pores are cleared[cite: 184].
• Very dry/AC? [cite_start]This cleanser is gentle, but still follow with a hydrating toner and moisturizer to prevent tightness[cite: 184].
• Sensitive/reactive? Perform a patch test first. [cite_start]This cleanser is formulated to be gentle, but every person's skin is unique[cite: 184].
[cite_start]
• Watchouts (1 line): "Squeaky clean" feeling = stripped skin; this cleanser avoids that by respecting your skin's pH[cite: 184].
[cite_start]
• Safety: Avoid broken/irritated skin[cite: 184]. [cite_start]Stop if burning rash[cite: 184]. [cite_start]Teens: cleanser–moisturiser–SPF; avoid strong actives unless clinician-guided[cite: 184].

This cleanser is gentle enough for daily use and does not need to be alternated with other actives.

• Daily: Use AM and PM as your primary cleanser.

AM/PM cheat-sheet (auto-render relevant bullets): Vitamin C AM daily[cite: 184]; [cite_start]Niacinamide AM/PM[cite: 184]; [cite_start]AHA/BHA/PHA PM 1–3×/week[cite: 184]; [cite_start]Retinal/Retinol PM 2–4×/week[cite: 184]; [cite_start]Eye creams AM+PM (½ rice grain per eye)[cite: 184].

Mauritius note: In heat/humidity, this cleanser is a great first step in keeping pores clear from sweat and oil buildup[cite: 184].

Safety: If irritation occurs, reduce frequency to 2×/week, switch to soothing nights, and follow patch-test guidance[cite: 184].

[cite_start]
• Immediate: Skin feels clean, fresh, and hydrated, not tight or stripped[cite: 184].
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin may feel more balanced, with less oiliness in the T-zone. [cite_start]You may also notice fewer minor breakouts[cite: 185].
• 4-8+ Weeks: Overall skin health improves. [cite_start]Itching and sensitivity due to a damaged barrier may lessen as the pH of your skin is balanced[cite: 184].

According to reviews on YesStyle, many customers love this cleanser for its effectiveness in removing impurities without drying out the skin. A reviewer noted, "This cleanser feels so gentle and refreshing, perfect for my morning routine" (YesStyle review, 2024-03). The low pH formula is often cited as a major benefit by users who have struggled with other harsh cleansers.
