At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with that end-of-day greasy feeling from Mauritius' humidity? This creamy foam cleanser is your solution for a truly deep clean. It lathers into a rich, dense foam to lift away sweat, sunscreen, and impurities from deep within the pores.
Formulated with hydrating Hyaluronic Acid and skin-protecting Ceramide, it aims to cleanse thoroughly without that tight, stripped feeling. It's an ideal second step in a double-cleansing routine to leave normal, combination, and oily skin types feeling fresh and balanced.
- Texture: Rich, thick cream that transforms into a dense, soft foam.
- Finish: Leaves skin feeling exceptionally clean, soft, and refreshed.
- Best For: Normal, Combination, and Oily skin types concerned with clogged pores and excess sebum.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Oil Cleanser (PM only): To dissolve sunscreen and makeup.
- THIS PRODUCT (manyo Foam): Lather a pea-sized amount and wash face. This removes any remaining impurities.
- Moisturiser: To hydrate and protect your skin barrier.
Note: Already own a water-based cleanser? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
A simple morning cleanse to start the day fresh.
- THIS PRODUCT (manyo Foam): Cleanse away overnight oil buildup.
- Hydrating Toner (Optional): Adds a layer of moisture.
- Serum (Optional): Target specific concerns like dark spots.
- Sunscreen SPF 30+: Essential final step to protect your skin.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
The classic K-beauty double cleanse to thoroughly remove the day's grime, sunscreen, and makeup.
- Oil Cleanser: Massage onto a dry face to dissolve oil-based impurities like sunscreen and makeup.
- THIS PRODUCT (manyo Foam): Lather with water and cleanse your damp face to wash everything away.
- Toner/Serum (Optional): Apply your targeted treatments.
- Moisturiser: Lock in hydration and support your skin barrier overnight.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
-
As a daily cleanser (AM/PM):
- Amount: A pea-sized amount is enough. A little goes a long way!
- Method: Squeeze the cream into your wet palm, add water, and rub your hands together to create a rich, dense lather. Gently massage the foam onto your damp face in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Frequency: Use once or twice daily.
-
As the second step of a double cleanse (PM):
- First, massage an oil cleanser over your dry face to melt sunscreen and makeup. Rinse.
- Then, follow with this Pure & Deep Cleansing Foam as described above to ensure a perfect, residue-free clean.
- Watchouts: While it contains hydrators, this is a deep-cleansing foam with a slightly alkaline pH. If your skin feels tight or "squeaky" after use, you may be using too much product or the water may be too hot. Try a smaller amount and use only lukewarm water. Always follow with a hydrating toner and moisturiser.
- Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
- Daily Use: This cleanser is designed for daily use, both morning and night, as the primary water-based cleansing step in your routine.
- Mauritius Note: On hot and humid days when you've been sweating or wearing heavy sunscreen, using this as part of a double cleanse in the evening is highly recommended for a deep pore refresh.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels deeply cleansed, refreshed, and soft. Pores may appear clearer.
- 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use as part of a balanced routine, you may notice a reduction in surface oiliness and fewer clogged pores or blackheads.
- 4-8+ Weeks: Skin appears more balanced and clear. The benefits of a consistent, thorough cleanse become evident in overall skin clarity and texture.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why use this, not a harsh bar soap? Bar soaps often have a very high, stripping pH that damages your skin's protective acid mantle, leading to dryness, irritation, and even more oil production as your skin tries to compensate. This foam is a pH-balanced cleanser formulated specifically for facial skin, with added hydrators to clean effectively without causing damage.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: An oil-based cleanser for a thorough double cleanse, followed by hydrating toners, serums (like Hyaluronic Acid or Niacinamide), and a suitable moisturiser to replenish the skin barrier.
- Use Carefully: If you use strong exfoliating acids or retinoids, ensure you are properly moisturising. A deep cleanse followed by a strong active can be drying if the skin barrier is not supported.
- Avoid: Do not rely on this foam alone to remove heavy, waterproof makeup or long-wear foundation. Always use an oil cleanser or a dedicated makeup remover first for that purpose.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides the deep clean needed to manage excess sebum and prevent pore congestion, especially in the T-zone.
- Normal Skin: Very suitable, especially as a nighttime cleanser to remove the day's build-up.
- Dry Skin: Use with caution. While it contains hydrating ingredients, its deep cleansing action and alkaline pH might be too stripping for truly dry skin types. A patch test is advised.
- Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. The formula contains several essential oils for fragrance which can be irritating for some. Patch testing is highly recommended.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Clogged Pores & Blackheads
- Excess Oil & Sebum
- Dullness from daily grime and pollution
- Removing sunscreen and makeup residue (as a second cleanse)

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use with caution:
- Individuals with very dry or compromised skin barriers should approach this cleanser with caution due to its deep-cleansing nature.
- Those with known allergies to essential oils or specific botanical extracts should review the ingredient list carefully.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a pea-sized amount of the cleanser to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
- Lather, rinse, and pat dry.
- Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.

Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture & Finish: A dense, rich cream that lathers into a luxurious, cushiony foam. It rinses clean, leaving skin feeling deeply purified and soft, not stripped.
- Scent: A pleasant, natural floral-citrus aroma from essential oils.
- pH: This is a saponified cleanser, meaning it has a slightly alkaline pH, likely between 7-8. While this provides a powerful clean, it's important to follow up with a pH-balancing toner and moisturiser to support your skin's acid mantle.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product is not considered fungal acne-safe as it contains several fatty acids (Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, Palmitic Acid) that can be triggers for Malassezia.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
- "My skin feels tight after using it." → You might be using too much product or washing with water that is too hot. Reduce the amount to a small pea-size and always use lukewarm water. Most importantly, apply a hydrating toner and moisturiser immediately after patting your skin dry to replenish moisture.
- "It's not removing my waterproof mascara." → This is a water-based foam cleanser and is not designed to be the primary remover for heavy or waterproof makeup. Use it as the second step after an oil-based cleanser (like the Manyo Pure Cleansing Oil) for a perfect clean.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summers: This cleanser is an excellent choice for the hot, humid conditions in Mauritius. It effectively removes the daily build-up of sweat, oil, and sunscreen that can clog pores and lead to breakouts in our climate. Its deep-cleansing ability leaves skin feeling fresh and not heavy.
- Drier Winters/AC Exposure: If you have combination or normal skin, you will likely still enjoy this cleanser in the cooler months. If your skin leans drier or you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, ensure you follow up promptly with hydrating layers to keep your skin balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Is this cleanser good for removing makeup?
- It effectively removes light makeup residue, but for heavy foundation or waterproof products, it is best used as the second step after an oil cleanser.
- Will this make my dry skin even drier?
- It's possible. Because it's a deep-cleansing foam with a slightly alkaline pH, it can be stripping for some dry skin types. We recommend patch testing and ensuring you use a good moisturiser afterwards. For very dry skin, a milky or cream cleanser might be a better choice.
- Why does it foam so much?
- The formula uses saponified fatty acids and gentle surfactants like Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, which are excellent at creating a rich, dense lather to lift impurities from the skin.
