A mild, soothing cleansing water that effortlessly removes makeup, sunscreen, and the grime of a humid day in Mauritius. Formulated with Centella Asiatica, it cleanses the skin while calming irritation and maintaining hydration, making it perfect for a refreshing first step in your evening routine or a gentle morning cleanse.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with skin that feels irritated, red, or easily overwhelmed after cleansing is a common challenge. This cleansing water is designed to purify your skin without stripping its natural moisture barrier.
- Product Type: Micellar Cleansing Water (First Cleanser)
- Best For: All skin types, especially sensitive, acne-prone, and oily skin.
- Core Function: Gently dissolves and removes makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and impurities.
- Key Benefit: Calms and soothes the skin thanks to Centella Asiatica Extract, reducing redness and discomfort associated with cleansing.
- Finish: Leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed, and hydrated, with no sticky or oily residue.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
Use this as the first step in your evening double-cleanse routine.
- Step 1 (This Product): Saturate a cotton pad with the Centella Cleansing Water and gently wipe across your dry face to dissolve makeup and sunscreen.
- Step 2 (Water-Based Cleanser): Follow up with a foaming or gel cleanser to wash away any remaining residue.
- Step 3 (Moisturiser): Apply your favorite moisturiser to lock in hydration.
Mindful Tip: If you already have a first cleanser (like an oil or balm), finish it before opening this one. Substitute, don’t stack, to practice mindful consumption.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
For a quick, gentle morning cleanse, especially if your skin is oily or sensitive.
- Step 1 (This Product): Moisten a cotton pad and gently sweep over your face to remove overnight oil and refresh the skin. No rinsing needed.
- Step 2 (Hydrating Toner/Serum - Optional): Apply a hydrating layer if your skin needs it.
- Step 3 (Sunscreen): Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
This is the ideal first step of a double-cleanse to thoroughly remove the day's impurities.
- Step 1 (This Product): On a dry face, use a cotton pad soaked in the cleansing water to gently wipe away makeup, sunscreen, and oil. For stubborn eye makeup, hold the pad over the area for 5-10 seconds before wiping.
- Step 2 (Water-Based Cleanser): Wash your face with a foaming or gel cleanser to deep clean the pores.
- Step 3 (Moisturiser): Apply a moisturiser suitable for your skin type to hydrate and protect your skin barrier.
Texture Rule: In your full routine, always apply products from the thinnest to thickest consistency.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: Generously saturate one or two cotton pads. You should not have to tug at your skin.
- Frequency: Use once daily in the evening (PM) as your first cleanse. Can also be used in the morning (AM) for a light cleanse.
-
Method:
- Soak a cotton pad with the cleansing water.
- Gently sweep the pad across your entire face and neck. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- To remove stubborn eye or lip makeup, press the soaked pad onto the area for a few seconds to dissolve the product before gently wiping it away.
- Follow with a water-based cleanser to complete your double cleanse.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This is a gentle daily-use product that fits into any routine.
- Daily Use: Use every evening as the first step to remove makeup and sunscreen. It can also be used every morning as a refreshing wipe-down before your serum and SPF.
- Compatibility: As a wash-off product, it does not conflict with any leave-on actives like retinoids, vitamin C, or exfoliating acids. It prepares a clean canvas for them to work effectively.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels clean, refreshed, and free of makeup and daily grime. There is no feeling of tightness or dryness.
- After 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use as part of a good routine, you may notice a reduction in redness and irritation. Skin feels calmer and more balanced after cleansing.
- After 4-8+ Weeks: Skin's overall resilience may improve. The gentle cleansing action helps maintain a healthy skin barrier, potentially leading to fewer sensitivity flare-ups and a clearer complexion.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use a dedicated first cleanser, not just face wash?
A single wash with a regular foaming cleanser often isn't enough to break down the mix of oil, sunscreen, and makeup on your skin. This cleansing water uses gentle micellar technology to specifically dissolve these impurities first. Following it with a water-based cleanser (the "double cleanse" method) ensures your pores are truly clean, allowing your treatment products to penetrate and work better. This is far safer and more effective than using harsh soaps or DIY oil mixes that can strip the skin or clog pores.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Everything. As a wash-off product, this cleansing water is compatible with all other skincare ingredients. It creates a clean base for your serums and treatments.
- Use Carefully With: N/A. There are no ingredients that conflict with this product.
- Avoid On: Do not use on broken or wounded skin. While gentle, it is not intended for use on open cuts.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily & Acne-Prone: Excellent. Effectively removes excess sebum and pore-clogging impurities without stripping the skin, which can help reduce breakouts.
- Dry & Dehydrated: Very suitable. Its gentle, hydrating formula cleanses without causing tightness or further dryness.
- Sensitive & Reactive: Ideal. Formulated with soothing Centella Asiatica, it's designed to cleanse without causing irritation or redness.
- Combination: Perfect. It effectively cleanses oily areas while being gentle and hydrating on drier patches.
- Mature: Suitable. Gently cleanses without disrupting the delicate barrier of mature skin.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Makeup & Sunscreen Removal: Its primary function is to dissolve and lift away daily makeup, water-resistant sunscreen, and other oil-based impurities as the first step of a double cleanse.
- Redness & Sensitivity: The inclusion of Centella Asiatica Extract helps to soothe and calm the skin, making the cleansing process comfortable for those prone to irritation. (Ingredient Rationale)
- Clogged Pores: By thoroughly removing surface debris, it helps prevent the buildup that leads to blackheads and breakouts.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There are no ingredients in this formula known to be harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but there is insufficient published data for a definitive statement. We recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing new products during this time.
How to Patch Test:

- Wait 24 hours to observe any reaction. Check again at 48 and 72 hours for any delayed sensitivity.
- If you experience any redness, itching, burning, or rash, wash the area thoroughly and discontinue use.

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
- "It doesn't remove my waterproof mascara." This is a gentle micellar water, and like most, it may struggle with heavy-duty waterproof or long-wear makeup. For best results, press a well-soaked cotton pad on the eye area for 10-15 seconds to allow the formula to dissolve the makeup before wiping. For very stubborn products, a dedicated bi-phase (oil and water) eye makeup remover or a cleansing oil may be more effective.
- "My skin feels a little tacky after using it." This is uncommon, but if it occurs, it means you should follow up with a water-based cleanser (double cleansing) to remove all residue, which is the recommended use for this type of product in an evening routine.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This cleansing water is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.
- Humid Summers: Its lightweight, watery texture is perfect for cutting through sweat, sebum, and sunscreen without feeling heavy or sticky. It provides a refreshing cleanse that leaves skin feeling clean but not stripped, which is ideal when humidity is high.
- Drier Winters/AC Environments: Its gentle, non-drying formula ensures that even when the air is less humid or you spend time in air-conditioning, it will not compromise your skin's moisture barrier.

Is This the Best Choice for You? (Mindful Alternatives) (other options to consider)
This cleansing water is an excellent choice if your primary goal is a gentle, soothing, and refreshing first cleanse for sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin.
However, consider these alternatives from our catalog if your needs are different:
- For a More Nourishing Cleanse (Dry or Mature Skin): Beauty of Joseon GINSENG CLEANSING OIL 210ML — Choose this if you have drier skin or wear heavier makeup. The oil texture provides more nourishment and slip while effectively dissolving impurities.
- For Deeper Pore Cleansing (Oily/Congested Skin): Anua HEARLEAF PORE CONTROL CLEANSING OIL MILD 200ML — Choose this if your main concern is blackheads and clogged pores. The Heartleaf-infused oil formula is specifically designed to deep clean pores while remaining gentle.
- For a Similar Soothing Effect in an Oil Format: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA LIGHT CLEANSING OIL 200ML — Choose this if you love the soothing benefits of Centella Asiatica but prefer the texture and makeup-melting power of a lightweight cleansing oil.
Mindful Use Reminder: If you already have a first cleanser at home that you enjoy and that works for your skin, we encourage you to finish it before purchasing a new one. This helps reduce waste and allows you to get a true sense of a product's performance.
Packaging, Sustainability & Practical Details (bottle, storage, and travel)
- Packaging: A 300ml transparent plastic bottle with a flip-top cap for easy dispensing onto a cotton pad.
- Recyclability: The bottle is made of PET plastic, which is widely recyclable in Mauritius. Please rinse the bottle before disposing of it in your recycling bin.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the botanical extracts. The bathroom cabinet is a better choice than a sunny windowsill.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Is this a toner or a cleanser?
- This is a cleanser. It is designed to be the first step in your cleansing routine to remove makeup and impurities. While it contains hydrating ingredients, it should be followed by a second, water-based cleanser and then your toner.
- Do I need to rinse it off?
- While some micellar waters are marketed as "no-rinse," we strongly recommend following it with a water-based cleanser (double cleansing), especially in the evening. This ensures all makeup, sunscreen, and cleanser residue is completely removed from your skin.
- How is it different from a cleansing oil or balm?
- Cleansing water has a lighter, more watery texture. It's excellent for removing light to medium makeup and sunscreen. Cleansing oils and balms have a richer, oil-based texture that can be more effective at dissolving heavy, waterproof makeup. People with very oily skin often prefer the refreshing feel of a cleansing water, while those with dry skin might enjoy the nourishing feel of an oil or balm.
- Is it safe for my sensitive eyes?
- The formula is very gentle and fragrance-free. Most users find it does not sting their eyes. However, individual sensitivity varies, so it's always best to be cautious. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes.
