If your skin often feels tight, irritated, or looks red after washing, your cleanser might be too harsh. This gentle, low-pH foam cleans effectively without stripping your skin's natural protective barrier, leaving it feeling comfortable and balanced—never squeaky clean.

• Skin Feel: Soft, hydrated, and comfortable post-wash.
• Texture: A light cream that quickly lathers into a soft, bouncy foam.
• Best For: All skin types, especially sensitive, combination, and oily skin looking for a balanced cleanse.
• Key Benefits: Maintains a healthy skin pH of 5.5, cleanses away impurities, and leaves skin hydrated.

1. Cleanser (THIS PRODUCT): Lather a pea-sized amount with water and gently massage onto your face for 30-60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Hydrator (Optional): While skin is still damp, apply a hydrating toner or essence.
3. Protect: Follow with your favorite moisturiser (PM) or sunscreen (AM).

Mindful Note: Already own a gentle cleanser? Finish it first to prevent waste before substituting this one into your routine.

• Step 1: Cleanser (THIS PRODUCT): Start your day with a gentle wash to remove overnight buildup.
• Step 2: Toner/Essence (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep and hydrate the skin.
• Step 3: Serum (Optional): Use a targeted serum (e.g., Vitamin C for antioxidant protection).
• Step 4: Moisturiser (If needed): Apply a light moisturiser if your skin feels dry or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough.
• Step 5: Sunscreen: Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.

• Step 1: First Cleanse (If wearing makeup/sunscreen): Use a cleansing oil or balm to dissolve makeup and SPF.
• Step 2: Second Cleanse (THIS PRODUCT): Use this foam cleanser to wash away remaining impurities.
• Step 3: Treatment (Optional): Apply any targeted treatments like exfoliants (2-3x a week) or serums (retinoids, niacinamide).
• Step 4: Moisturiser: Finish with a moisturiser to lock in hydration and support your skin barrier overnight.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient. A little goes a long way as it foams up nicely.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning and evening.
• Method:
  1. Squeeze a small amount into your wet hands.
  2. Lather until it forms a soft foam.
  3. Gently massage over your entire face, avoiding the immediate eye area.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Watch Out: If your skin feels tight or "squeaky," you may be using too much product or washing for too long. If you experience stinging, it could be a reaction to the essential oils; patch testing is always advised.

• Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable, without any tightness or dryness.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, your skin's oil-water balance should feel more regulated. You may notice less irritation and a healthier-looking skin barrier.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Your skin should feel consistently balanced and less prone to sensitivity or reactivity caused by a stripped barrier.

Choose This... A gentle, pH-balanced cleanser that respects your skin's natural acid mantle.

...Not That. Harsh, high-pH bar soaps, facial scrubs with rough particles, or DIY cleansers made from ingredients like dish soap. These can strip your skin of its essential lipids, leading to a compromised barrier, increased sensitivity, dehydration, and even more breakouts as your skin overproduces oil to compensate.

• Works With: As a wash-off product, this cleanser is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients, including strong actives like retinoids, Vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA). It provides a clean, balanced canvas for the rest of your routine.
• Use Carefully On: Severely compromised or broken skin. While gentle, it's always best to use only water on open wounds or raw skin until healed.

• Excellent For: Normal, Combination, Oily, and Sensitive skin types.
• Good For: Dry skin types who prefer a foaming cleanser, as it is non-stripping.
• Caution: Very rare cases of stinging have been reported by individuals with extremely sensitive skin, possibly due to the essential oils in the formula. A patch test is recommended.

• Texture: A soft, light cream that transforms into a dense, bouncy foam when mixed with water.
• Finish: Rinses clean without leaving any residue, film, or tightness. Skin feels soft and hydrated.
• Scent: A subtle and refreshing blend of citrus and lavender from natural essential oils. Some users describe it as a light fruity or blueberry scent.
• pH: Approximately 5.5, which is ideal for maintaining the skin's natural acidic barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains `Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil` and `Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil`, which are generally considered low-risk in a wash-off product but could be a consideration for extremely sensitive, FA-prone individuals. Individual responses vary.

• "My skin feels dry or tight after using it." → You might be using too much product or massaging for too long. Try using a smaller, pea-sized amount and limit cleansing to 60 seconds. Also, ensure you are rinsing with lukewarm, not hot, water.
• "It doesn't remove all my heavy makeup or waterproof sunscreen." → This is a gentle second cleanser. For heavy makeup or water-resistant SPF, it's essential to use an oil-based cleanser or balm first as part of a "double cleanse" routine. This cleanser is for the second step to wash everything away.
• "I'm experiencing some stinging." → This is uncommon, but a small number of users with highly sensitive skin report stinging. This may be due to the natural essential oils. Stop using the product and switch to a completely fragrance-free option.

This cleanser is an excellent choice for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius. Its gentle, low-pH formula effectively removes sweat, excess sebum, and daily grime without stripping the skin's moisture barrier. In a climate where over-washing can be tempting, this cleanser helps prevent the cycle of stripping and rebound oiliness, keeping skin balanced and comfortable year-round.

This cleanser is an excellent choice if your primary goal is a gentle, non-stripping daily wash that maintains your skin's pH balance. However, consider these alternatives from our catalog if you have different needs:

• For Acne-Prone Skin: COSRX SALICYLIC ACID DAILY GENTLE CLEANSER 150ML — Choose this if you need an exfoliating cleanse to help manage blackheads and breakouts. Why: It contains BHA (Salicylic Acid) to gently exfoliate inside the pores.

• For Another Gentle, Low-pH Option: COSRX LOW pH GOOD MORNING GEL CLEANSER 150ML — Choose this if your skin is sensitive and you prefer a gel texture. Why: It has a similar low-pH philosophy but uses Tea Tree Oil for a purifying effect, making it a cult favorite for balanced cleansing.

Mindful Consumption: If you already have a gentle cleanser at home that you enjoy and that doesn't leave your skin feeling tight, there’s no need to add another right now. Finish what you have first to avoid waste and get a true sense of its results.

• Packaging: A simple, hygienic 100ml squeeze tube with a flip-top cap, allowing for easy and controlled dispensing.
• Sustainability: The tube is made of plastic. Please check with local Mauritian recycling guidelines for proper disposal. INNISFREE as a brand runs recycling campaigns in some regions, but local infrastructure determines recyclability.
• Travel-Friendliness: The 100ml size is travel-friendly and compliant with most airline regulations for carry-on liquids. The secure flip-top cap minimizes the risk of leaks.

"Among all the cleansers I've tried recently, this is by far the best one!!! It cleans the face really well, without leaving a tight or squeaky clean feeling on the face at all. I love how my face looks and feels after cleansing with this."

— Reddit, r/SkincareAddiction review (2020-03)

A user with sensitive combination skin praised this cleanser as their favorite, noting it doesn't contain harsh ingredients and isn't stripping. They also mentioned that a little goes a long way since it foams up nicely, making it very affordable.

— Paraphrased from Reddit, r/SkincareAddiction (2020-03)

Fair Caveat: One reviewer with extremely oily and sensitive skin reported that this cleanser caused stinging around their eyes and mouth. While most users find it gentle, those with highly reactive skin should patch test, as the essential oils could be a potential trigger for a small minority.

— Paraphrased from Hwahae review

INNISFREE is a South Korean cosmetics brand founded by Amore Pacific in 2000. The brand's philosophy is centered on harnessing the natural benefits of Jeju Island, a pristine volcanic island off the coast of South Korea. They are known for their affordable, nature-powered skincare solutions that emphasize gentle yet effective ingredients responsibly sourced from Jeju's unique ecosystem, such as green tea, volcanic clusters, and orchids.

pH

A measure of acidity or alkalinity. The skin's natural surface pH is around 5.5 (mildly acidic), which is known as the "acid mantle." Using products with a similar pH helps protect this barrier.

Surfactant

An ingredient in cleansers that helps to lift oil, dirt, and impurities from the skin so they can be washed away. Some can be harsh, while others (like Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate) are very gentle.

Humectant

An ingredient that attracts and holds onto water molecules. Glycerin is a common and effective humectant that helps hydrate the skin.

Non-stripping

A term for a cleanser that cleans the skin without removing its natural, essential oils and lipids, thus avoiding the tight, dry feeling of a compromised skin barrier.

MFDS

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea, the regulatory body that oversees cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals (formerly known as the KFDA).

Is a low-pH cleanser really better?

For most people, yes. A low-pH (around 4.5-6.0) cleanser helps maintain the skin's natural acid mantle, a protective film that keeps moisture in and bacteria out. High-pH cleansers (like many bar soaps) can strip this barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and even breakouts.

Can this cleanser remove makeup?

It can remove light makeup. However, for heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, we strongly recommend using an oil-based cleanser or balm first (a method called "double cleansing") and using this as your second step for a thorough clean.

Why does it contain essential oils if it's for sensitive skin?

The essential oils are included in small amounts for their natural fragrance and potential antimicrobial properties. While many people with sensitive skin tolerate it well, a small percentage can be sensitive to specific botanical compounds. This is why a patch test is always the safest approach.

Is this product being discontinued?

There have been community discussions about the Blueberry line being reformulated or discontinued in some regions as part of Innisfree's rebranding. However, the product remains available through various distributors. Adilsons is committed to stocking this customer favorite as long as it is available from our authorized suppliers.
