Anua PEACH NIACIN SPREAD CLEANSING FOAM 150ML

Values: 100% Genuine (Adilsons sourcing policy) · Halal-Friendly* · Vegan-Friendly* · FA-Conditional (not FA-Safe — see Section 30B) · Not Fragrance-Free.

If you've been washing your face three or four times a day in Mauritius' heat and still feel oily by lunchtime, that's not a sign to scrub harder — it's usually a sign your barrier is already compromised. This cleanser is designed to be a once- or twice-daily step, not a fix for over-washed skin.

Pros: gentle physical exfoliation from real peach seed powder, potassium-soap base rinses cleanly in hard water, postbiotic Lactobacillus Ferment, pleasant peach scent for those who like fragranced cleansers. Caveats: the Niacinamide concentration (100ppm / 0.01%) is far below the 2-5% used in published brightening studies, so treat "Niacin" in the name as a marketing cue rather than a clinical dose; it contains added Fragrance, which is a common irritant for reactive skin.

In Mauritius' heat and humidity, the shine you see by midday is sebum and sweat doing exactly what they're supposed to do — it is not dirt. Washing more than twice a day strips the skin's acid mantle (target pH roughly 4.5-5.5), and stripped skin responds by making more oil to compensate, which is the exact problem most people are trying to wash away.

This cleanser's potassium fatty-acid soap base (Potassium Laurate, Potassium Myristate) is a genuine surfactant system, not a marketing-only "gentle" claim, but it can still run mildly alkaline on skin — which is why WhatsInMyJar's ingredient-based scoring flagged a real irritation-potential concern alongside a strong effectiveness score. Keep this to twice daily maximum and follow immediately with a pH-balancing toner to bring skin back toward its natural acidity.

Step 1 — When: AM and PM, as your second cleanse in the evening if wearing sunscreen or makeup. Step 2 — How much: one to two pumps, worked into a light lather with wet hands. Step 3 — How: massage in circular motions for 30-60 seconds on damp skin, avoiding the eye area, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Anua Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam — 30-60 seconds, rinse. 2. Toner (5-8 drops, wait 10-20s). 3. Serum/essence as needed (wait 30-60s). 4. Moisturizer (1-2 peas). 5. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (2-finger rule), 10-15 minutes before sun exposure.

In humid Mauritius mornings, apply your toner and moisturizer to slightly damp skin — humectants like glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate in a follow-up toner draw water from the humid air rather than pulling it from deeper skin layers, which is why layering on damp skin performs better here than on bone-dry skin.

1. Oil or micellar pre-cleanse if wearing sunscreen/makeup. 2. Anua Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam as the water-based second cleanse, 30-60 seconds, rinse. 3. Toner. 4. Treatment serum if used. 5. Moisturizer.

This cleanser has no scheduled active lane of its own (its Niacinamide and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid sit at trace, undisclosed levels), so it does not need to be rotated around a retinoid or exfoliating-acid night — it can sit at the start of every PM routine regardless of what active you run afterward.

Technique: massage, don't scrub — the peach seed powder is already doing physical exfoliation work, and pressing hard on top of that increases micro-abrasion risk. 60-Second Rule: keep the foam on skin for 30-60 seconds of massage before rinsing, giving the surfactants adequate contact time to lift sebum without needing longer, more stripping contact.

Required skin state: damp — wet your face first so the foam spreads evenly rather than concentrating grit in one spot. Hands deliver 100% of product; cotton pads absorb approximately 30-40% and are not appropriate for a rinse-off cleanser anyway.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global execution rules: viscosity ladder runs thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serum layers 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 minutes if going outdoors. Amount defaults: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen 2-finger rule for face plus 1 finger for neck. Hydrators go on slightly damp skin, retinoids on fully dry skin, exfoliating acids on dry or lightly damp depending on irritation. Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack: 1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional) — this is where Anua Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam sits. 2. pH-Prep Toner (optional). 3. Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3, optional). 4. Essence (optional — choose toner layering OR essence stacking, not both). 5. Mist (optional micro-step). 6. Booster/Soothing Serum (optional). 7. Antioxidant Lane (choose ONE — Vitamin C or gentler derivative). 8. Pigment Support Lane (choose ONE, if AM-tolerated). 9. Hydration Serum Lane (optional). 10. Oil-Control/Sebum-Regulating Lane (choose ONE). 11. Peptides/Growth-Factor Lane (optional). 12. Eye Serum/Cream. 13. Moisturizer. 14. Optional Sealing Layer (only if dry/AC). 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable). 16. Lip SPF (optional but ideal).

In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: 1. Micellar (optional pre-cleanse). 2. Oil Cleanser/Balm (if SPF/makeup worn). 3. Water Cleanser (second cleanse) — this is where Anua Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam sits. 4. pH-Prep Toner (optional). 5. Hydrating Toner Layers (optional). 6. Essence (optional). 7. Soothing/Barrier Serum (optional). 8. Anchor treatment product (bold placement, if you run one — this cleanser is not itself an anchor active). 9. Targeted Serum (optional, only if non-conflicting). 10. Moisturizer. 11. Sleeping Mask (optional). 12. Occlusive Seal (optional, avoid if clog-prone). 13. Spot Treatment/Pimple Patch (as needed). 14. Lip Sleeping Mask (optional).

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night. One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure: default to the safest lane — barrier/hydration — and reduce layers.

This is a water-thin, rinse-off cleansing foam — the first and lowest rung of the viscosity ladder, used before any leave-on layer and rinsed away entirely, so it has no layering-order implications for the rest of your routine. It is a water-phase product, meaning it works via water-soluble surfactants (the potassium fatty-acid soaps) rather than oil-dissolving emollients.

Because it's rinsed off within a minute, none of the leave-on ingredients further down its INCI (Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide NP, Centella Asiatica Extract) get meaningful skin-contact time — treat those as formulation-support ingredients that make the wash feel less stripping, not as leave-on actives you're actually dosing.

If your skin stings when you apply moisturizer or feels tight within 30 minutes of any cleanse, your barrier is below threshold for this product — switch to a fragrance-free, exfoliant-free cleanser such as the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild 200ml until skin normalizes.

Excess sebum and surface congestion: the potassium fatty-acid soap base emulsifies sebum and sunscreen for rinse-away removal. Dullness/rough texture: Peach Seed Powder (0.5%) provides mechanical exfoliation of surface dead skin cells during the wash. Secondary benefit: Lactobacillus Ferment is a postbiotic ingredient associated with supporting a balanced skin microbiome during cleansing.

What this product cannot do: it cannot meaningfully brighten hyperpigmentation — Niacinamide at 100ppm (0.01%) is roughly 200-500 times below the 2-5% concentrations used in published brightening studies, so treat any "Niacin brightening" framing on the packaging as a name, not a dose.* It also cannot shrink pores (pores don't have muscles to contract) or replace a leave-on exfoliating toner for anyone managing textural acne scarring.

*This ingredient appears well below the estimated 1% line in the INCI list, suggesting it is present at a trace/sub-efficacious concentration. Its inclusion may be primarily for marketing rather than clinical effect.

Toner (primary): Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner 250ml — re-balances pH after the potassium-soap wash; apply AM/PM within seconds of patting skin dry. Alternatives (verified in stock): Anua Peach 77% Niacin Essence Toner 250ml (stays in the Peach Niacin line), Anua Rice 70 + Ceramide Glow Milky Toner 250ml (more cushioning for drier days), Anua Birch Moisture Boosting Pad 70ea/160ml (cooling, pre-soaked format).

Moisturizer (primary): Anua Peach 77% Niacin Enriched Cream 50ml — same product line, seals in hydration after cleansing without heavy occlusion. Alternatives: Anua Heartleaf 70% Soothing Cream 100ml, Anua 3 Ceramide Panthenol Moisture Barrier Cream 100ml, Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisture Cream 60ml.

Pilling pairs: as a rinse-off cleanser, this does not pill with any leave-on product — pilling risk is not applicable here.

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which breaks down collagen, increases transepidermal water loss, and can worsen inflammatory breakouts. This cleanser's gentle, non-stripping surfactant base helps avoid adding mechanical/chemical stress on top of hormonal stress, but it is not a targeted stress-skin treatment — its Centella Asiatica Extract sits too low in the INCI (position 24, past the estimated 1% line) and has too little contact time as a rinse-off to deliver a meaningful calming dose.

MYTH: "If a cleanser has niacinamide in the name, it will brighten my skin like a niacinamide serum." REALITY: at 100ppm (0.01%), the Niacinamide here is roughly 200-500 times more dilute than the 2-5% used in brightening research, and it's rinsed off within a minute — the brightening work in your routine belongs to a leave-on serum, not this cleanser.*

MYTH: "Foaming cleansers always strip the skin barrier." REALITY: stripping depends on surfactant choice and pH, not on whether a product foams — this is a potassium-soap foam, which can run mildly alkaline, but that's a specific formulation trait to manage (follow with a pH-balancing toner), not a universal rule about all foaming cleansers.

*This ingredient appears well below the estimated 1% line in the INCI list, suggesting it is present at a trace/sub-efficacious concentration. Its inclusion may be primarily for marketing rather than clinical effect.

Sugar cane burning season (July-November): PM2.5 increases during this period; since this is a rinse-off cleanser rather than a leave-on antioxidant, its main job during burn season is simply thorough particulate removal each evening — massage for the full 30-60 seconds rather than rushing it.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; hard water can leave a calcium-stearate film after any soap-based cleanse that causes tightness. Follow this cleanser with a pH-adjusting toner to help counteract that residue, especially if you're on municipal supply in a harder-water area.

*This ingredient appears well below the estimated 1% line in the INCI list, suggesting it is present at a trace/sub-efficacious concentration. Its inclusion may be primarily for marketing rather than clinical effect.

Full INCI: Water, Peach Water (15.7%), Glycerin, Potassium Laurate, Cellulose, Potassium Myristate, Acrylates Copolymer, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Prunus Persica (Peach) Seed Powder (0.5%), Hydroxyacetophenone, Potassium Hydroxide, Polyquaternium-22, Lactobacillus Ferment, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Sodium Phytate, Dextrin, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Niacinamide (100ppm), Cyanocobalamin, Butylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glyceryl Glucoside, Beta-Glucan, Ceramide NP, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract, Linolenic Acid, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract.

This ingredient list was cross-corroborated against multiple independent retailer product listings and search-engine aggregation of ingredient-database summaries, since direct access to INCIDecoder, CosDNA, and the brand's own site was unavailable during this research pass. All sources agreed on ingredient order and the brand-declared percentages.

Preservative system: 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin (a common paraben-free preservative-booster pairing), plus Hydroxyacetophenone (an antioxidant/preservative-booster).

Fragrance status: Synthetic Fragrance (Parfum) — listed simply as "Fragrance" in the INCI with no allergen breakdown disclosed.* Scent: a sweet peach fragrance, per retailer descriptions. Intensity: moderate (estimated 2-3/5); dissipates within a few minutes of rinsing.

EU 26 allergen screen: none of the 26 named EU allergens (Linalool, Limonene, Citronellol, etc.) are individually declared in the available INCI — but since "Fragrance" is listed as a single undifferentiated term rather than broken into its component allergens, undisclosed allergens may still be present.*

Alcohol disclosure: Alcohol-Free — no ethanol or denatured alcohol appears in the INCI.

*Based on brand-declared INCI. The term "Fragrance" or "Parfum" in the INCI list may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals.

Halal:* Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan:* Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-free:* Brand-stated policy is not independently certified — Anua has not signed PETA's statement of assurance and does not appear on the Leaping Bunny database, per our brand-level research.

Microplastic-Free: Yes — no polyethylene, nylon, or similar film-forming microplastic polymers detected in the declared INCI (Acrylates Copolymer and Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer here are water-soluble/rinse-off thickeners, not persistent microplastics).

MFDS classification: not confirmed as a Functional Cosmetic (which would require additional Korean government efficacy testing) — treat as a General Cosmetic. Functional claims: the brand markets brightening and sebum-control benefits, but no clinical study, sample size, or institution was found to support them for this specific SKU.

Evidence confidence: Marketing-Only.* The individual ingredients (niacinamide, peach seed powder, Lactobacillus Ferment) each have general skincare literature behind their mechanisms, but no product-specific clinical trial for this exact formula was found.

*Clinical evidence is based on general ingredient literature rather than a study of this specific formula. This does not mean the ingredients don't work — it means the evidence tier for this exact product's marketed claims is low.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Hydrogenated Lecithin and Linolenic Acid are both documented as potential Malassezia-feeding ingredients, but their real-world risk here is lowered by short (30-60 second) rinse-off contact time. Anyone with confirmed active fungal acne should still patch test or default to a simpler, fragrance-free wash.

Assessment: None. As a rinse-off cleanser used at the very start of a routine and washed away before any other product is applied, it cannot pill with subsequent layers — pilling requires two or more leave-on products interacting on skin.

Color baseline: the formula should stay a consistent light, translucent gel; any yellowing or brown discoloration signals oxidation and the product should be discarded, since oxidized surfactant/oil components can generate free radicals on contact with skin.

Storage: keep the tube or bottle out of direct sun and away from bathroom heat spikes — Mauritius bathroom humidity accelerates preservative breakdown faster than temperate climates. Spoilage signs: off/rancid smell displacing the peach scent, separation that won't remix, or a texture that turns watery/stringy. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: apply a small amount to your inner forearm, wait 24 hours, then test behind the ear for another 24 hours before full facial use — this is especially worth doing given the added Fragrance.

72-hour barrier reset: if you get an adverse reaction, STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY a gentle cleanser, plain moisturizer, and mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72 hours, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately and discontinue use.

1. Using this as a scrub with added pressure — the peach seed powder already provides exfoliation; pressing hard risks micro-tears. 2. Cleansing more than twice daily chasing an oil-free feeling, which triggers the over-cleansing cycle. 3. Skipping moisturizer afterward because the skin feels "clean enough" — this is exactly when compensatory oil production kicks in. 4. Expecting visible brightening from the trace Niacinamide content. 5. Not patch testing despite a known fragrance sensitivity.

Overuse threshold: more than twice daily consistently strips the acid mantle and increases both dryness and rebound oiliness — it does not speed up any exfoliation benefit.

Usage math: at roughly 1-2 pumps (about 2-3ml) per use, twice daily, a 150ml bottle provides approximately 25-35 days of two-a-day use, or 50-75 days at once-daily use. Lifespan: over-dosing at 2-3x the recommended amount per wash will roughly halve that runway without improving the clean it delivers — correct dosage extends the bottle's life without sacrificing results.

Reorder timing: for twice-daily users, plan to reorder roughly 2-3 weeks into the bottle to allow for delivery time before it runs out.

This cleanser opens both your AM and PM routine — its job is to remove sebum, sunscreen, and surface debris so that whatever you layer next can actually absorb. On its own it's a light, low-lather wash with mild physical exfoliation from real peach seed powder.

AM: 1. Anua Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam — 30-60s, rinse. 2. Toner, 5-8 drops. 3. Moisturizer, 1-2 peas. 4. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++, 2-finger rule, 10-15 min before sun. PM: 1. Oil/micellar pre-cleanse if wearing SPF/makeup. 2. Anua Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam — 30-60s, rinse. 3. Toner. 4. Moisturizer.

If you're in air conditioning most of the day: follow with a humectant toner sealed under a moisturizer — AC pulls ambient humidity down, and a stripped, un-sealed face after cleansing loses water faster in dry AC air. If you're heading straight into sugar cane burning season (July-November): extend the massage time to the full 60 seconds each evening to make sure particulate matter is fully lifted, not just wetted.

Stock-true routine bundle: this cleanser + Anua Peach 77% Niacin Essence Toner 250ml + Anua Peach 77% Niacin Enriched Cream 50ml — a full same-line Peach Niacin routine, morning and night, that keeps the sensory profile and fragrance consistent step to step.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with Anua Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If you want a gentler wash with no physical exfoliation particles and no added synthetic fragrance, Anua Heartleaf Succinic Cleansing Foam 150ml (in stock, low-pH 5-6, built on 1% Heartleaf Extract and 0.5% Succinic Acid) is a real in-catalog alternative — it trades away the peach-seed-powder buffing for a smoother, lower-irritation-risk daily wash.

Choose Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam over Heartleaf Succinic Cleansing Foam if you need real mechanical exfoliation baked into your daily cleanse: the 0.5% Peach Seed Powder physically buffs surface dead cells every wash, something the Succinic formula's chemical-only approach doesn't do.

Upgrade triggers (IF/THEN): IF your skin feels rough/textured but not reactive, THEN this product's physical exfoliation is worth choosing. IF you have any history of fragrance-triggered redness, THEN choose the fragrance-free Succinic alternative instead — do not upgrade to this one first. IF you're already using a leave-on chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA toner) elsewhere in your routine, THEN the Succinic Foam is the safer pairing to avoid stacking two exfoliation mechanisms in one routine.

Timing and lane compatibility: both cleansers are AM/PM-suitable and occupy the "cleanse" step only — neither carries an active lane that needs Conflict Solver rules, since both cleansers rinse off before any leave-on active is applied.

Don't upgrade to this one if: you have a known fragrance allergy; your barrier currently stings on plain moisturizer; you're already running a leave-on physical or chemical exfoliant elsewhere and don't want to double up on exfoliation; you have diagnosed fungal acne and are being strict about FA-Safe-only products.

If you match 2 or more upgrade triggers above, THIS is worth choosing. If not, the alternative is sufficient and safer. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: daily sebum/debris removal with mild physical exfoliation. You do NOT need this if you already own another gentle exfoliating foam cleanser you're actively finishing — check your shelf for one first.

An open cleansing foam typically has a 6-12 month PAO once opened — buying a second bottle while an existing one is still usable just risks the older one expiring unused. Stacking assessment: if your current cleanser is a plain, non-exfoliating gel or cream wash, adding this one is a Significant Benefit (adds a genuinely different mechanical-exfoliation pathway); if your current cleanser already contains a physical scrub or BHA, this is No Benefit — same mechanism, pick one.

Anua was founded in 2019 in Seoul, South Korea, incubated within The Founders Inc., a Korean beauty brand-incubator/holding company. The brand's hero ingredient is Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf), most famous in its 77% Soothing Toner, and it has since expanded into a Peach Niacin brightening sub-line, a 3-Ceramide barrier-repair line, and various niacinamide/PHA booster actives.

Anua positions itself around dermatological-ingredient-led formulas for sensitive, reactive skin rather than trend-chasing actives, and has reportedly sold over 40 million units globally with expansion into all Ulta Beauty US stores by 2025. We could not verify from public sources whether Anua manufactures in-house or via a contract Korean ODM/OEM manufacturer — this is left as an open question rather than guessed at.

We found no Reddit thread specifically discussing this exact product at the time of writing, and direct access to Hwahae's and Skinsort's full review pages was unavailable during this research pass, so we cannot paraphrase individual user reviews from those platforms with confidence. What we could verify: a YesStyle customer quote calling it a "Super cleanser for oily skin" that requires only a small amount per use, alongside another noting it may feel too thick or drying for dry skin.

Separately, WhatsInMyJar's ingredient-based analysis (not a user-review aggregator) scored the formula 83/100 for effectiveness while flagging a real irritation-potential concern — likely reflecting the combination of the alkaline-leaning potassium-soap base with the added physical peach-seed exfoliation. Common praise theme: effective, economical daily wash for oily skin. Common caution theme: not ideal for dry or highly reactive skin.

Sustainability: check the base of the tube/bottle for local recycling codes before disposal; no refill program was found publicly disclosed for this SKU.

Does this cleanser actually brighten skin like the "Niacin" name suggests? Not meaningfully on its own — Niacinamide sits at only 100ppm (0.01%) in the formula, far below the 2-5% used in brightening research. Pair it with a leave-on niacinamide serum for real brightening work.

Is it fragrance-free? No — "Fragrance" appears in the declared INCI with no allergen breakdown disclosed. Fragrance-sensitive users should patch test first or choose a fragrance-free Anua cleanser instead.

Can I use this if I have dry skin? You can, but multiple retailer reviews specifically flag it as feeling too thick or drying for dry skin — a cream-based, non-exfoliating cleanser is usually a better fit.

Is the exfoliation from this cleanser gentle enough for daily use? The 0.5% Peach Seed Powder is a mild physical exfoliant intended for daily use, but if you already use a leave-on chemical exfoliant elsewhere, consider alternating days to avoid over-exfoliating.

What's the difference between this and Anua's other Peach Niacin products? This is the cleanse step only — the line also includes a Peach 77% Niacin Essence Toner and a Peach 77% Niacin Enriched Cream, which carry higher-percentage peach-fermented water for leave-on hydration and brightening support.

Niacinamide

A form of Vitamin B3 used in skincare for barrier support and brightening, typically effective at 2-5% concentration.

Acid mantle

The skin's naturally slightly acidic surface film (pH 4.5-5.5) that helps protect against bacteria and moisture loss.

Fairy dusting

Including a marketable ingredient at a concentration too low to have a meaningful clinical effect.

FA-Conditional

An ingredient that may feed Malassezia yeast (linked to fungal acne) depending on individual skin and contact time.

PAO

Period After Opening — the symbol (e.g. "12M") indicating how many months a product stays safe to use once opened.

Estimated 1% line

The approximate point in an INCI list below which ingredients are typically present at less than 1% concentration.

Best for: oily, combination, or normal skin in Mauritius' heat who wants a gentle daily wash with real physical exfoliation and doesn't mind (or enjoys) a peach fragrance. Key benefits: genuine 0.5% peach seed powder exfoliation, postbiotic Lactobacillus Ferment, rinses cleanly without heavy residue, economical usage.

Keep in mind: the "Niacin" in the name is present at a trace, non-clinical 100ppm concentration — don't expect brightening from this step alone. It also contains added Fragrance and is not the best fit for dry or fragrance-reactive skin.

Impact: Supportive. This formula includes Lactobacillus Ferment, a genuine postbiotic ingredient. This is a POSTBIOTIC — beneficial metabolites from fermentation. You are not applying live bacteria. It has no detectable ferment smell in this formula since the peach fragrance masks it, which is normal and not a sign it's missing.
