Mindful Tip: Already own a cleanser? Finish it first before opening a new one to reduce waste.

1. [THIS PRODUCT] Herb Day 365 Mungbean Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. (Optional) Hydrating Toner: Pat in a toner to add a layer of hydration.
3. Sunscreen: Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

1. (Optional) Oil Cleanser: If wearing heavy makeup or waterproof sunscreen, start with an oil cleanser to dissolve it.
2. [THIS PRODUCT] Herb Day 365 Mungbean Cleanser: Wash away the remaining impurities for a deep clean.
3. Toner/Serum: Apply your chosen treatment or hydrating products.
4. Moisturiser: Lock in hydration with a moisturiser suited to your skin type.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient. A little goes a long way!
• Method: Take the cream into your palm, add a small amount of water, and rub your hands together to create a dense, rich lather. Gently massage the foam onto your damp face in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use once or twice daily, in the morning and/or evening.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin feels tight after use: This cleanser provides a "squeaky clean" feel which might be too stripping for dry skin types. Try using it only at night or follow up immediately with a hydrating toner and moisturiser.
• If you have very oily skin: You'll appreciate its ability to cut through grease and leave your skin feeling fresh and matte.
• If you wear heavy makeup: Use this as the second step in a double-cleanse routine to ensure all residue is removed.

• Daily Use: This cleanser is designed for daily use, either in the morning, evening, or both.
• Post-Exfoliation: Use this cleanser before applying any weekly exfoliating treatments (like acid toners or peel-off masks) to ensure your skin is perfectly clean.

• Immediately: Skin feels deeply cleansed, refreshed, and free of excess oil and impurities.
• After 2-4 weeks: With consistent use, you may notice less midday shine and a reduction in clogged pores or blackheads, as daily impurities are effectively managed.
• After 4-8+ weeks: Your skin should appear clearer and feel more balanced, providing a healthy canvas for the rest of your skincare routine.

Why use a formulated foaming cleanser, not household soap?

Harsh soaps like dish soap can have a very high, stripping pH that damages your skin's protective barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and even more breakouts. This cleanser is pH-balanced for facial skin and formulated with soothing extracts to clean effectively without causing harm.

As a rinse-off product, this cleanser is compatible with virtually all other skincare products.

• Works Well With: Any toner, serum, moisturiser, or sunscreen. It creates a clean slate, helping subsequent products absorb more effectively.
• Use Carefully: If you use strong prescription topicals (like tretinoin) or have a compromised skin barrier, you might find this cleanser slightly drying. Consider alternating it with a gentler, milky cleanser.

• Ideal For: Oily, Combination, Normal skin types who enjoy a deep, foaming cleanse.
• May Be Suitable: Acne-prone skin, as it effectively removes pore-clogging impurities.
• Use with Caution: Dry and Sensitive skin types may find the "squeaky clean" finish to be stripping due to its higher pH. A patch test is recommended.

• Daily impurities from pollution and sweat
• Excess sebum and oiliness
• Clogged pores and blackheads
• Makeup and sunscreen residue

Full INCI List:

Water, Myristic Acid, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Lauric Acid, Glycol Distearate, Polysorbate 20, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Parfum/Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Borago Officinalis Extract, Centaurea Cyanus Flower Extract, Lilium Candidum Flower Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum/Fragrance").
• Scent Profile: A fresh, clean, and slightly herbal scent that is noticeable during use but does not linger heavily.
• EU Allergens: Contains Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, and Linalool, which are common fragrance components that may cause sensitivity in some individuals.

A patch test is always advised for sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

Safety Precautions:

• For external use only.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Discontinue use and consult a specialist if you experience any signs of irritation such as redness, swelling, or itching.
• Do not use on broken or irritated skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Patch Test Protocol:

Apply a pea-sized amount of the cleanser to a small, discreet area of skin, such as your jawline or behind your ear. Lather, rinse, and pat dry. Wait 24-48 hours to assess for any signs of irritation before applying to your entire face.

• Texture: A thick, pearlescent cream.
• Lather: Lathers easily into a very dense, rich, and creamy foam.
• Finish on Skin: Leaves skin feeling squeaky clean, soft, and matte.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but as a saponified fatty acid cleanser, its pH is likely alkaline (estimated to be between 8.0-9.5). This high pH contributes to its powerful cleansing ability but may be stripping for some skin types.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, and Stearic Acid, which can potentially trigger fungal acne in susceptible individuals. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: My skin feels tight or dry after cleansing.
  Solution: This is likely due to the cleanser's high pH. Reduce use to once daily (PM only) and ensure you are immediately following up with hydrating layers like a toner, essence, and moisturiser. If tightness persists, this cleanser may not be suitable for your skin type.
• Issue: I'm experiencing new breakouts.
  Solution: Check if the breakouts are small, uniform bumps, which could indicate a fungal acne flare-up due to the fatty acids in the formula. If it's regular acne, ensure you are rinsing the product off completely. If breakouts continue, discontinue use.

This cleanser is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid Mauritian climate. Its rich foam effectively cuts through the day's build-up of sweat, sebum, sunscreen, and environmental grime, providing a deeply refreshing cleanse that helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts common in tropical weather. It's the perfect evening cleanse to feel completely fresh before your night routine.

• Mung Bean's Purifying Properties (Ingredient Rationale): Mung beans (Phaseolus Radiatus) have a long history in traditional Asian medicine and skincare. Modern research suggests they contain antioxidants and compounds that can have soothing and purifying effects, helping to calm irritated skin and maintain a clear complexion.
• Cleansing Efficacy (Ingredient Rationale): The cleanser's powerful ability to remove oil and impurities is based on its formulation as a classic saponified soap, created from the reaction of fatty acids (Myristic, Lauric, Stearic) with an alkaline ingredient (Potassium Hydroxide). This creates a surfactant system that excels at lifting away grease.

• Size: 170ml
• Dose: Approx. 0.5ml per use (a pea-sized amount).
• Uses per tube: ~340 uses.
• Reorder Cadence:

Note: These are aggregated sentiments from real users on platforms like Reddit and Hwahae. Individual experiences may vary.

"I remember liking this product when I used it before... I highly recommend it for oily skin types like mine. There's nothing bad to say! The price is reasonable too."

– Hwahae review (2024-06)

"It leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean. I've been using this for a long time... I can't think of any downsides. I've tried other products, but nothing quite matches up to this one."

– Hwahae review (2025-04)

Fair Caveat: Several reviewers with combination or sensitive skin noted that while the cleansing power is excellent for oily days, it "might be too drying for those with super sensitive skin" or dry patches. (Aggregated sentiment from Hwahae and Dodoskin reviews, 2019-2025).

Is this cleanser suitable for removing makeup?

It can remove light, everyday makeup. However, for waterproof mascara, eyeliner, or long-wear foundation, we strongly recommend using an oil-based cleanser first (double cleansing) for the most effective removal.

Why does my skin feel "squeaky clean" after using this?

The "squeaky clean" feeling is characteristic of saponified cleansers with a higher pH. This indicates that all surface oils have been thoroughly removed. While satisfying for oily skin, this can be a sign of stripping for drier skin types.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

While the herbal extracts are soothing, the cleansing base is quite strong and it contains fragrance. We recommend patch testing first. If you have known sensitivity or a compromised barrier, a pH-balanced cleanser would be a safer choice.

Best For: Individuals with normal to very oily skin looking for an affordable, high-performance daily cleanser that delivers a deep, refreshing, and matte finish.
