2. Hydrate (Optional): Follow with a hydrating toner or serum.
3. Protect: Finish with your favorite sunscreen (AM) or moisturiser (PM) to seal and protect.

Note: Already own a gentle cleanser? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption. This can be your thoughtful replacement.

A simple morning routine to start your day fresh without irritation.

1. Cleanse: ETUDE SoonJung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser.
2. Hydrate (Optional): Apply a soothing toner like the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner.
3. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen like the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics.

A calming evening routine to wash away the day and support skin repair.

1. Double Cleanse (If wearing makeup/sunscreen): Start with an oil cleanser like SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil, then follow with the ETUDE SoonJung Whip Cleanser.
2. Cleanse (If no makeup): Use the ETUDE SoonJung Whip Cleanser on its own.
3. Treat (Optional): Apply a calming serum like the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule.
4. Moisturise: Lock in hydration with a barrier-supporting cream, such as the ETUDE SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: 1-2 pumps is sufficient for the entire face.
• Apply to: Damp skin.
• Method: Gently massage the foam in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Frequency: Use once or twice daily.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin feels tight after cleansing with other products: This pH-balanced formula is designed to prevent that stripped feeling.
• If you wear waterproof makeup: Use this as the second step in a double-cleanse routine after an oil-based cleanser for complete removal.
• If your skin is extra sensitive or recovering from irritation: This is an ideal cleanser to use as it won't cause further stress to the skin barrier.

Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Suitable for teens as a gentle daily cleanser.

• Daily: Use AM and PM as the cleansing step in your routine. This cleanser is gentle enough for daily use, even when incorporating active ingredients like exfoliants or retinoids on alternating nights.

• Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable without any tightness or dryness.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in general redness and irritation as your skin barrier becomes more balanced.
• 4–8+ weeks: Skin feels more resilient and less reactive to external stressors. The gentle cleansing action helps support a healthier, stronger skin barrier over the long term.

• Why this, not a harsh, "squeaky-clean" cleanser? Many believe that a tight, squeaky feeling means skin is truly clean. In reality, this indicates that the cleanser has stripped your skin of its natural, protective oils, damaging the moisture barrier. A damaged barrier can lead to increased sensitivity, dehydration, and even more oil production and breakouts. This pH 6.5 whip cleanser uses gentle, plant-derived surfactants to effectively remove impurities while respecting your skin's natural balance, leaving it clean but also calm and hydrated.

As a gentle wash-off product, this cleanser is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients.

• Works with: Oil cleansers (as the second step), hydrating toners, serums (including Vitamin C, Retinoids, Niacinamide), moisturisers, and sunscreens.
• Use carefully with: No major conflicts. It's designed to be the safe, foundational cleansing step for any routine.
• Avoid on: Open wounds or severely broken skin.

• Excellent for: Sensitive, Acne-Prone, Reactive, Normal, Combination skin.
• Good for: Dry, Oily skin.
  • Dry Skin: Will appreciate that it cleanses without stripping essential moisture.
  • Oily Skin: Benefits from a gentle cleanse that doesn't trigger rebound oil production.

Formulated with 98% naturally derived ingredients and a minimalist list to reduce the chance of irritation.

Key Actives Explained:

• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, helping to hydrate, soothe, and support the skin barrier. It is known for its ability to reduce inflammation and aid in wound healing.
• Madecassoside: A purified compound from Centella Asiatica (Cica), renowned for its soothing and repairing properties. It helps to calm redness and irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and provides antioxidant benefits.
• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract: A potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental stressors while offering soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Full INCI List:

Water, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Propanediol, Lauryl Glucoside, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Panthenol, Madecassoside, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Formulated Without: Animal-derived ingredients, mineral oil, colorants, synthetic perfumes, polyacrylamide, silicone, imidazolidinyl urea, triethanolamine, PEG surfactants, and parabens.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added synthetic or natural fragrances.
• Scent Profile: 0/5. It is virtually odorless, though some users may detect a very faint, neutral "unscented product" smell.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.

• Who should use: Anyone looking for a gentle, non-stripping daily cleanser, especially those with sensitive, easily irritated, or barrier-compromised skin. It is an excellent choice for teens or skincare beginners.
• Who should use with caution: While formulated for sensitivity, those with known allergies to any specific ingredient in the list should avoid it. Some online ingredient checkers suggest it is Fungal Acne (FA) safe, however individual responses may vary.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Wait 24-48 hours.
3. If you experience any burning, itching, or rash, do not use the product. If irritation is severe, consult a doctor.

• Texture: A soft, dense, and velvety whipped foam that comes out of the pump ready to use.
• Finish: Rinses clean without any residue or film, leaving skin soft and comfortable.
• pH: 6.5. This mildly acidic pH is close to the skin's natural pH, helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier and acid mantle.
• FA Compatibility: The formula is generally considered fungal acne-safe by many users and databases. Individual responses can vary; patch testing is always recommended.

• Issue: My skin still feels a little dry after use.
  • Quick Fix: Ensure you are using lukewarm, not hot, water. Also, assess the other products in your routine; a harsh toner or treatment used after cleansing could be the cause. Some users note it can be slightly more drying than a gel cleanser.
• Issue: It doesn't remove all of my waterproof mascara or heavy foundation.
  • Quick Fix: This cleanser is designed for gentleness. For heavy or waterproof makeup, it is best used as the second step of a double-cleanse, following an oil-based cleanser.
• Issue: The foam stings my eyes.
  • Quick Fix: This is a common experience with many cleansers. Avoid the immediate eye area during application. Use a dedicated, gentle eye makeup remover before cleansing your face.

This cleanser is perfectly suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summer: The rich foam effectively cleanses away sweat, excess sebum, and sunscreen without stripping the skin's moisture barrier, which is crucial in high humidity.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: Its gentle, hydrating formula ensures that skin doesn't become tight or dehydrated, even when moving between outdoor warmth and dry, air-conditioned indoor environments.

Is this cleanser good for acne-prone skin?

Yes, it is excellent for acne-prone skin. Its gentle, non-stripping formula helps maintain a healthy skin barrier, which is crucial for managing breakouts. It won't over-dry the skin, which can sometimes lead to more oil production and acne.

Will it remove my makeup?

It can remove light makeup. However, for heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, we strongly recommend using it as the second step of a double-cleanse after an oil-based cleanser for the most effective removal.

Is it suitable for fungal acne (FA)?

The ingredient list is generally considered safe for those with fungal acne. However, as individual sensitivities can vary, we always recommend patch-testing before incorporating it fully into your routine.

Why is a pH 6.5 cleanser good?

The skin's natural surface pH is mildly acidic. Using a cleanser with a similar pH helps to avoid disrupting the skin's acid mantle, which is a protective layer that keeps moisture in and bacteria out. High-pH (alkaline) cleansers can strip this layer, leading to dryness and irritation.

• Best For: Individuals with sensitive, reactive, or easily irritated skin who need a reliable, gentle daily cleanser.
• Key Benefits:
  • Cleanses effectively without stripping the skin's moisture barrier.
  • Mildly acidic pH helps maintain skin health.
  • Soothes and calms with Panthenol and Madecassoside.
• Keep in Mind:
  • May not be sufficient to remove heavy or waterproof makeup on its own.
  • While many find it hydrating, those with extremely dry skin might prefer a cream-based cleanser.
