Dealing with skin that feels sensitive, irritated, or prone to breakouts in our humid climate can be frustrating. This ampoule-in-a-foam cleanser is designed to gently but effectively remove impurities, sunscreen, and excess sebum without that tight, stripped feeling. Formulated with a high concentration of soothing Centella Asiatica from Madagascar, it cleanses while actively calming the skin. Its rich, creamy lather and skin-friendly pH of 5 make it an ideal first step for restoring balance and comfort to stressed skin.

1. [THIS PRODUCT] — Lather a pea-sized amount and gently massage onto damp skin. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Toner/Serum — Apply your chosen treatment to prep and target concerns.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM) — Seal in hydration and protect your skin.

Note: Already own a gentle cleanser? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption. Substitute, don’t stack.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) [THIS PRODUCT] → 2) Hydrating Toner/Serum → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional: If your sunscreen is not very hydrating, you can apply a light, gel-based moisturiser before your SPF.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) [THIS PRODUCT] (As the second step of a double cleanse if removing makeup/sunscreen) → 2) Targeted Serum → 3) Moisturiser
• Double Cleanse Note: To properly remove water-resistant sunscreen and makeup common in Mauritius, start with an oil-based cleanser on dry skin, then follow with this Ampoule Foam on damp skin.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient.
• Method: Squeeze onto wet palms and rub together to create a rich, creamy foam. Gently massage onto your face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning and evening.
• If-This / Then-That:
  • If your skin feels tight after cleansing: You might be using water that is too hot. Switch to lukewarm water. This foam is pH-balanced and shouldn't strip the skin.
  • If removing heavy makeup: Use this as the second step after an oil cleanser for a perfect double cleanse that removes all residue without irritation.

• Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable, not tight or dry. Redness may appear slightly calmed.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in general skin redness and sensitivity. Skin feels more balanced and less prone to irritation.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. The overall complexion appears calmer and clearer.

• Why this, not harsh scrubs: A gentle, pH-balanced foam cleanser effectively removes impurities without causing micro-tears or irritation that can worsen dark marks (PIH) and sensitivity, unlike abrasive physical scrubs.
• Why this, not soap bars: This cleanser uses gentle, coconut-derived surfactants to maintain your skin's protective acid mantle (pH ~5.5). Traditional soaps are often alkaline (pH 9-10), which can strip natural oils, disrupt the skin barrier, and lead to dryness and breakouts.

• Works With: As a gentle wash-off product, this cleanser is compatible with all other skincare ingredients and routines. It creates a clean and balanced canvas for your toners, serums (including Vitamin C, retinoids, and acids), and moisturisers.
• Use Carefully: No conflicts. It is designed to be the foundational first (or second, in a double cleanse) step.

• Excellent For: Sensitive, Acne-Prone, Combination, Normal skin types. Its soothing and balancing properties are ideal for skin that is easily irritated or reactive.
• Good For: Oily skin (provides a thorough cleanse without over-stripping), Dry skin (gentle surfactants and hydrating ingredients prevent moisture loss).
• Caution: No major cautions. Individual responses can vary, so a patch test is always advised.

• Redness and Irritation
• Sensitivity and Reactivity
• Imbalanced Skin pH
• Clogged Pores from daily impurities and excess oil

This product is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, to ensure compatibility, we recommend a patch test.

• Patch Test: Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If no irritation occurs, you can proceed with facial use.
• Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If irritation or a rash occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

• Texture & Finish: A rich cream that lathers into a dense, soft foam. Rinses off cleanly, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated, not stripped or tight.
• Scent: Essentially unscented.
• pH: Approximately 5.0, which is weakly acidic and similar to the skin's natural pH, helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The ingredient list appears to be free from common fungal acne triggers. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: My skin still feels a bit dry after use.

  Quick Fix: Ensure you are rinsing with lukewarm, not hot, water. Follow up immediately with a hydrating toner while your skin is still damp to lock in moisture.

• Issue: It doesn't seem to remove all my makeup.

  Quick Fix: This is a water-based cleanser. For heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, it should be used as the second step of a double cleanse, following an oil-based cleanser.

This cleanser is an excellent match for our tropical climate. In the hot, humid summer, it effectively removes sweat, excess sebum, and sunscreen without disrupting the skin's moisture barrier. During the drier winter months or in air-conditioned environments, its gentle, hydrating formula prevents the skin from feeling stripped and tight. It provides a comfortable, balanced cleanse year-round.

Aggregated sentiment from online communities. Individual results may vary.

• Reddit review (beautytalkph, 2024): "This is my fav cleanser! I don't feel the need to try new ones... It's gentle but strong enough for my oily skin. It doesn't leave a film. Plus you only need a little so it lasts a long time for me. One tube lasts me around 4 months."
• Reddit review (beautytalkph, 2024): "As someone with dermatitis and sensitive skin, this one is surprisingly agreeable with my skin condition. The foam quality isn't too overwhelming and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean after."
• Fair Caveat - YesStyle review (2025): A user with combination skin noted, "...while it feels makes a good lather and skin feels clean enough, i dont find any benefits or drastic changes after using this... my skin texture feels the same as before washing my face." This highlights that for some, it may be a good, neutral cleanser without dramatic transformative effects.

Our goal is to provide you with clear, honest information to help you make mindful choices for your skincare journey.

Is this cleanser good for oily and acne-prone skin?

Yes, it's an excellent choice. Its pH-balanced formula cleanses effectively without stripping the skin, which can prevent the rebound oil production that often worsens breakouts. The Centella Asiatica also helps to calm inflammation associated with acne.

Will this feel drying on my skin?

No, it is specifically formulated to be non-stripping. It uses gentle, coconut-derived surfactants and contains hydrating ingredients like Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate to leave the skin feeling soft and comfortable after washing.

Can I use this for my double cleanse routine?

Absolutely. It is the perfect second step in a double cleanse. Use an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, then follow with this Ampoule Foam to wash everything away cleanly.

• Best For: Individuals with sensitive, irritated, or acne-prone skin looking for a gentle yet effective daily cleanser.
• Key Benefits: Deeply cleanses without stripping, soothes redness and irritation with 33% Centella Asiatica, and maintains a healthy skin pH.
• Keep in Mind: If you are accustomed to harsh, "squeaky-clean" cleansers, this may feel milder than you're used to. It is not designed to remove heavy, waterproof makeup on its own and works best as a second cleanser in such cases.
