At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with redness and sensitivity from Mauritius' heat and humidity can be frustrating. This cleansing foam is designed for you if your skin feels easily irritated, unbalanced, or prone to breakouts.
It's a gentle, low-pH (3.0-5.0) cleanser that uses Centella Asiatica to calm inflammation while effectively removing daily impurities. Its creamy foam texture cleanses without stripping the skin's vital moisture barrier, leaving it feeling soft and soothed, not tight or dry. It's an ideal starting point for a routine focused on calming and strengthening the skin.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- 1) Oil Cleanser (PM Only): If wearing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, start here.
- 2) THIS PRODUCT (Centella Cleansing Foam): Squeeze a pea-sized amount, lather with water, and gently massage onto your face for 60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
- 3) Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Always follow with hydration and sun protection to seal and protect your skin barrier.
Mindful Note: Already own a similar cleanser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, donβt stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Minimalist (3 steps):
- [THIS PRODUCT] Centella Cleansing Foam
- Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional, helps subsequent products absorb better)
- Sunscreen SPF 30+ (Essential in Mauritius to protect skin and prevent irritation)
Note: If your sunscreen is hydrating enough, you might not need a separate moisturiser in the humid Mauritian mornings.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Minimalist (3-4 steps):
- Oil Cleanser (Recommended to fully remove sunscreen and makeup)
- [THIS PRODUCT] Centella Cleansing Foam
- Targeted Serum (Optional, based on your main concern)
- Moisturiser (To lock in hydration and support barrier repair overnight)
Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency (like toners) to the thickest (like creams).
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use β AM & PM:
- Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient.
- Method: Dispense into wet palms and lather into a rich foam. Gently massage onto your face in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Frequency: Use once or twice daily.
Double Cleansing (PM):
This cleanser is designed as the second step of a double cleanse at night. Use an oil-based cleanser first to melt away sunscreen, makeup, and excess sebum. Follow with this foam cleanser to wash away any remaining residue, ensuring your skin is perfectly clean and prepped for your skincare routine.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable without any tightness.
- 2β4 weeks: A noticeable reduction in general redness and irritation with consistent daily use. The skin's moisture barrier begins to feel more balanced and resilient.
- 4β8+ weeks: Skin appears calmer overall. For those with acne-prone skin, a decrease in minor inflammatory breakouts may be observed, as the soothing and gently exfoliating properties help maintain clearer pores.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use a pH-balanced cleanser, not harsh soap?
Harsh soaps and high-pH cleansers can strip your skin's natural protective barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and even more oil production as your skin tries to compensate. This low-pH (3.0-5.0) foam respects your skin's natural acidity, cleansing effectively while keeping your moisture barrier intact and healthy. This is especially important in a humid climate where a compromised barrier can be more susceptible to bacterial and fungal issues.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Sensitive & Redness-Prone: Excellent. Specifically formulated with Centella Asiatica to soothe and calm irritation.
- Acne-Prone: Very Good. The combination of soothing Centella and gently exfoliating Salicylic Acid helps manage breakouts without causing further inflammation.
- Oily & Combination: Good. Effectively removes excess oil without over-stripping.
- Dry: Use with caution. While gentle, some users with very dry skin may find it doesn't provide enough post-cleanse hydration. A patch test is recommended.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use this: Ideal for individuals with sensitive, combination, or acne-prone skin looking for a gentle yet effective daily cleanser.
Who should be cautious: Those with extremely dry skin should patch test first, as some users report a tight feeling post-cleanse.
Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small area, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any burning, itching, or rash, do not use the product on your face.
General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if significant irritation occurs. For teens, this is a suitable daily cleanser. Keep out of reach of children.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A dense cream that lathers into a soft, rich foam. Some users note it can feel slightly slippery during rinsing.
- Scent: Unscented.
- pH: 3.0 - 5.0 (Mildly acidic, which is beneficial for the skin's natural barrier).
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Glyceryl Stearate and Sorbitan Olivate, which can be potential triggers for fungal acne in highly susceptible individuals. Patch testing is advised. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues)
- "My skin feels tight after washing." You may be using too much product or washing for too long. Try using a smaller, pea-sized amount and ensure your water isn't too hot. If tightness persists, this cleanser may not be hydrating enough for your very dry skin type.
- "It doesn't remove all my makeup." This product is a water-based cleanser, best used as the second step in a double-cleanse routine. Use an oil-based cleanser first to effectively dissolve makeup and sunscreen.
- "The foam feels slippery and hard to rinse off." This is characteristic of some low-pH cleansers. It's a sign that the cleanser isn't stripping your skin's natural oils. Continue rinsing with lukewarm water until your skin feels clean but still soft.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
In the hot and humid climate of Mauritius, this cleanser is an excellent choice for daily use. Its ability to gently remove sweat, excess oil, and impurities without stripping the skin helps prevent clogged pores and irritation that can be common in our weather. During very humid summer months, it provides a refreshing cleanse that leaves skin feeling balanced. During the slightly drier winter, its gentle, non-stripping formula helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier, preventing the dehydration that can occur from indoor air conditioning.
