Biodance Collagen Cleansing Oil 200ml

100% Genuine (Adilsons policy) • Fragrance-Free (no Parfum/essential oil declared) • Pregnancy-Safe (no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or UV filters detected) • Halal-Friendly* • Vegan-Friendly*

Pros: emulsifies quickly with minimal water, rinses without residue, fragrance-free, gentle enough for daily first-cleanse use. Caveats: exact collagen/peptide percentages are not disclosed, it must be followed by a water-based cleanser for a proper double-cleanse, and the pump can over-dispense on the first few uses.

In Mauritius heat, the shine you feel by midday is sebum and sweat doing their job, not dirt — washing more than twice a day strips the skin's acid mantle (target pH 4.5-5.5) and triggers compensatory oil production, the exact oiliness you're trying to fix.

This oil breaks that cycle by dissolving sebum with sebum-like ester oils rather than surfactant-stripping it, so a single evening cleanse removes the day's buildup without over-drying; it is not designed to be your only or your most frequent cleanse.

Step 1 (When): PM, as your first cleanse (before a water-based second cleanse). Step 2 (How much): 3-4 pumps into dry palms. Step 3 (How): Massage onto a fully dry face for 30-60 seconds, add a small splash of water to emulsify to a milky texture, 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. Optional gentle rinse or this cleansing oil only if skin is visibly oily on waking. 2. Toner. 3. Serum. 4. Moisturizer. 5. Sunscreen. In Mauritius's humid mornings, hydrating layers (glycerin, HA-based toners) work best because they draw water from the humid air rather than from deeper skin, so use this cleanser sparingly in AM if your skin already feels comfortable on waking.

This product carries no AM restriction and is not photosensitizing.

1. Biodance Collagen Cleansing Oil (first cleanse). 2. Water-based cleanser (second cleanse). 3. Toner. 4. Serum/treatment. 5. Moisturizer. 6. Occlusive seal if needed.

As a passive, non-active cleanser it doesn't occupy a lane in a 4-night skin-cycling routine; it runs every night regardless of which active you cycle afterward.

Technique: massage on fully dry skin and hands for 30-60 seconds (the "60-Second Rule" for adequate contact time), then emulsify by adding a small amount of water until the oil turns milky, then rinse. Pat dry rather than rub — friction after cleansing increases irritation on freshly cleansed skin.

Required skin state: dry hands and dry face at the start (oil cleansers do not emulsify properly on wet skin). Hands deliver 100% of product; a cotton pad absorbs 30-40% of it, so use hands.

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 rules: viscosity ladder runs thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serums 30-60s, 10-15 minutes before sunscreen if going outdoors. If a routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers rather than add more.

AM Maximum Stack: 1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional) 2. pH-Prep Toner (optional) 3. Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3, optional) 4. Essence (optional) 5. Mist (optional) 6. Booster/Soothing Serum (optional) 7. Antioxidant Lane (choose one) 8. Pigment Support Lane (choose one) 9. Hydration Serum Lane 10. Oil-Control/Sebum-Regulating Lane (choose one) 11. Peptide/Repair Lane 12. Eye Cream 13. Moisturizer 14. Optional Sealing Layer 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable) 16. Lip SPF. In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking — in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: 1. Micellar (optional pre-cleanse) 2. Oil Cleanser/Balm — this product 3. Water Cleanser (second cleanse) 4. pH-Prep Toner 5. Hydrating Toner Layers 6. Essence 7. Soothing/Barrier Serum 8. Anchor active (if any) 9. Targeted Serum 10. Moisturizer 11. Sleeping Mask (optional) 12. Occlusive Seal (optional) 13. Spot Treatment (as needed) 14. Lip Sleeping Mask. 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 sits at the thickest, oil-phase end of the cleansing step — it is applied first, to fully dry skin, before any water-based product touches your face. Its emulsifiers (Polyglyceryl-10 Diisostearate, Polyglyceryl-6 Dicaprate, Polyglyceryl-2 Laurate) convert it from an oil-phase product into a rinseable emulsion the moment water is added, which is why the "add water gradually" step matters more than how long you massage.

Prerequisites: none — this is an entry-level first-cleanse step suitable as the first product in a new routine.

Primary: Makeup, sunscreen and sebum removal without a foaming surfactant strip. Secondary: the pump-based, low-molecular collagen and peptide inclusion is marketed toward "elasticity," though with a maximum 60-90 second skin contact time before rinsing, meaningful collagen/peptide delivery to living skin layers is unproven for a rinse-off format.

What this product cannot do: it cannot replace a water-based second cleanse, cannot "boost collagen production" in the way a leave-on peptide serum might claim, and cannot shrink pores structurally — any pore-appearance improvement comes from removing the oxidized sebum/makeup sitting in them, not from altering pore anatomy.

Every pairing below is anchor-centric to this cleansing oil's role as a first-cleanse step, verified status:active with current stock in the Adilsons catalog (checked 2026-09-16).

• Second-cleanse (mandatory pairing): Primary — ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser (low-pH, gentle foam, in stock). Alternatives — Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser, COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, Anua 8 Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Gentle Gel Cleanser. Use PM only, immediately after this oil, to remove the emulsified residue and rebalance surface pH.
• Follow-on hydration: Primary — Biodance Collagen Peptide Jelly Serum Mist (same collagen/peptide family, in stock). Alternatives — Biodance First Synergy Toner, Biodance Micro Dual Serum Toner, Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Cleanser (as an alternate second-cleanse if you want extra hydration instead). Apply within seconds of towel-drying.

Pilling pairs: none expected — as a rinse-off product, it does not remain on skin to interact with later layers.

Sugar cane burning season (July-November): PM2.5 increases during this period settle on skin alongside sunscreen and sebum — a thorough oil-based first cleanse is more useful in these months, not less, since surfactant-only cleansing struggles to lift oil-soluble particulate.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; hard water can leave a calcium-stearate film after any oil-to-foam double cleanse, so follow with a pH-adjusting toner to counteract the resulting tightness.

*Emerging evidence tier reflects that most collagen/peptide research is conducted on leave-on formats; efficacy in a rinse-off cleanser has not been independently studied for this SKU.

Full INCI (source: WebSearch summary of INCIDecoder; brand site and INCIDecoder pages could not be directly fetched this session — treat as medium confidence): Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Polyglyceryl-10 Diisostearate, Polyglyceryl-6 Dicaprate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Polyglyceryl-2 Laurate, Water, Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Iris Florentina Root Extract, Cucumis Melo (Melon) Seed Extract, Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Collagen Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Tocopherol, Oligopeptide-1, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide-9, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-12.

*Collagen Extract and the full peptide complex sit below the estimated 1% line, consistent with typical peptide dosing but worth noting since they are the headline marketing ingredients.

Preservative system: Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, and 1,2-Hexanediol — a glycol-based preservative-booster system, paraben-free.

Fragrance status: Fragrance-Free (no Parfum/Fragrance listed). Scent: mild, natural botanical scent from Rosa Damascena Flower Water and plant oils — not spoilage, and dissipates within about a minute of rinsing.

EU 26 allergen screen: none of the 26 recognized fragrance allergens (Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol, Citral, Eugenol, etc.) are separately declared in this INCI. Rosa Damascena Flower Water can naturally contain trace aroma compounds not required to be listed separately.

Alcohol disclosure: Alcohol-Free — no ethanol or denatured alcohol detected in the declared list.

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. Note: the "Collagen Extract" here is not confirmed plant-derived or animal-derived by brand disclosure; BIODANCE's flagship Bio-Collagen line uses marine (fish-derived) collagen, so this is flagged as an open question rather than asserted vegan with full confidence.

Cruelty-free: *Brand-stated policy. Not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent third-party audit.

Microplastic-Free: Yes — no polyethylene, nylon, or acrylate microbead polymers detected in the declared INCI.

MFDS classification: General Cosmetic — no evidence found of Functional Cosmetic registration for this SKU.

Brand claims: the live Adilsons/Biodance marketing copy states an "EWG Green rating," exclusion testing for "19 controversial ingredients," and a completed skin sensitivity test. *These are brand-stated claims; this research pass could not independently verify a specific EWG database entry or a named lab report for this exact SKU. Treat as brand-stated, not independently certified.

Evidence confidence: Marketing-Only* for the collagen/peptide elasticity claims in a rinse-off format; Medium for the basic cleansing/emulsifying function, which is standard, well-understood cosmetic chemistry.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polyglyceryl-2 Laurate, and Sorbitan Sesquioleate appear on some Malassezia-feeding reference lists, but because this is a rinse-off product with under two minutes of skin contact, the practical FA risk is considered low — most FA-safety frameworks are built around leave-on products.

Assessment: None. As a rinse-off first-cleanse step used before any other product touches the skin, it cannot pill against later layers.

Color baseline: pale yellow, clear oil. A cloudy appearance, separation that won't remix, or a rancid smell signals oxidized plant oils — discard if seen.

Storage: keep away from direct bathroom-window sunlight and away from shower steam heat, which can accelerate oxidation of the plant oil content faster than a cool cabinet would.

Spoilage signs: rancid smell, color darkening, or the pump dispensing unevenly (separated layers). When in doubt, discard.

Patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours, then behind the ear for 24 hours, before first facial use — this matters here specifically because of the multiple plant/flower extracts (rose, ivy, neem, melon, pear).

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

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

1. Applying to wet or damp skin (oil won't spread or emulsify properly). 2. Skipping the second, water-based cleanse and calling this a full cleanse. 3. Using too little product and having to re-massage half-dissolved makeup. 4. Rubbing vigorously instead of massaging gently. 5. Storing the pump bottle in direct sun near a bathroom window, which accelerates oil oxidation.

Overuse threshold: using it more than twice daily provides no additional cleansing benefit and risks over-massaging sensitive under-eye skin.

Usage math: at 3-4 pumps per use, once nightly, a 200ml bottle provides roughly 60-80 uses.

Lifespan: at recommended dosage, this lasts approximately 2-2.5 months of nightly use; at 2-3x overdosing (excess pumps "to be sure"), expect it to run out in under a month without any extra cleansing benefit.

Reorder timing: reorder roughly 2 weeks before you expect to run out to allow for delivery time.

This cleansing oil is the opening step of a double-cleanse PM routine and sits at the thickest, oil-phase position before any water-based product touches skin.

PM: 1. Biodance Collagen Cleansing Oil — 3-4 pumps, massage 30-60s dry, emulsify, rinse. 2. ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser — second cleanse, 30-60s. 3. Biodance First Synergy Toner — 5-8 drops, wait 10-20s. 4. Serum of choice. 5. Moisturizer.

If you wear waterproof sunscreen or full-coverage makeup daily, use this as a non-negotiable first cleanse every evening. If you're barrier-compromised right now (stinging, tight, flaking skin), skip the second foaming cleanse some nights and just rinse after emulsifying this oil, to avoid double-stripping.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with Biodance Collagen Cleansing Oil, 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 specifically want a sebum-control-focused cleansing oil rather than a collagen-marketed one, Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild 200ml is built around Rosemary Leaf Oil for oily/blackhead-prone skin instead of a peptide/collagen story. Both are 200ml, fragrance-free-of-synthetic-perfume, rinse-off oils.

Choose Biodance Collagen Cleansing Oil over Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil if you want a plant-oil-rich, more emollient cleanse (jojoba, grape seed, sunflower, moringa) rather than a sebum-control-first formula.

IF your skin is oily and blackhead-prone, THEN the Anua alternative's rosemary-oil, sebum-control focus is the better match — don't upgrade to this one just for the collagen story if oil control is your actual priority.

Don't upgrade if you're already happy with your current oil cleanser and it isn't causing congestion — consistency beats novelty here since both products do the same basic job.

If you match the sensory/dry-skin trigger above, this is worth choosing. If not, the alternative is sufficient and equally safe. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: dissolving makeup, sunscreen and sebum as a first cleanse step. You do NOT need this if you already own any other rinse-off oil or balm cleanser you're happy with — finish your current one before buying a second.

Check whether you already have an open oil/balm cleanser; there's no PAO-driven urgency to switch mid-bottle.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit — running two oil cleansers side by side duplicates the same mechanism with no added value.

Quick verification tips: the pump should dispense smoothly with an intact tamper seal under the cap on first use, and the printed batch code on the base should be legible, not smudged or re-printed.

Per press coverage (not independently cross-checked against a corporate registry), BIODANCE's hydrogel-mask approach draws on medical hydrocolloid burn-patch technology. The brand has since extended its collagen/peptide and PDRN-based formulas into cleansers, creams, mists and eye patches like this one, each built around one specific skin-state story rather than a single universal formula.

Specific individually-attributable review threads (e.g. named Reddit posts) for this exact SKU were not found in this research pass — WebFetch access to Amazon, Hwahae and retailer review pages was blocked this session, so only search-summary-level sentiment could be captured.

What was found: a Skinsort community aggregate rating of approximately 4.5/5 based on tagged attributes (described as "great value," "works well," "hydrating"), and general retailer-page comments describing the product as easy to use and leaving skin "extra clean" without residue. No specific complaint pattern surfaced in available search results this pass.

Sustainability: check local recycling guidance for the plastic pump bottle; not brand-confirmed as refillable.

Does this remove waterproof sunscreen and makeup? Yes — oil-based cleansers are the standard, dermatologist-recommended way to dissolve waterproof and long-wear formulas; a water-based cleanser alone often can't.

Do I need a second cleanse after this? Yes, if you wore sunscreen or makeup that day — an oil cleanse alone can leave a light residue that a gentle foam/gel cleanser removes.

Is it fragrance-free? No synthetic Parfum/Fragrance is declared; it does carry a mild natural scent from the plant/flower extracts.

Will the collagen and peptides actually do anything for anti-aging? Realistically, contact time is too short (30-90 seconds before rinsing) for meaningful collagen/peptide delivery — treat this as a well-formulated cleanser first, an anti-aging treatment second.

Is it safe for acne-prone skin? Generally yes as a rinse-off step; if you notice increased congestion, see the Fungal Acne Safety note above.

Emulsify

The process of an oil turning milky and mixable with water, which is what allows an oil cleanser to rinse away instead of leaving a greasy film.

Low-molecular collagen

Collagen broken into smaller fragments (measured in Daltons) intended to penetrate skin more easily than whole collagen molecules.

Peptide

A short chain of amino acids used in skincare to signal skin cells toward specific behaviors, such as firmness support.

Acid mantle

The skin's naturally acidic (pH 4.5-5.5) surface layer that protects against bacteria and moisture loss.

Double cleanse

A two-step cleansing method: an oil-based first cleanse to dissolve makeup/sunscreen, followed by a water-based second cleanse.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

Best for: anyone wearing daily sunscreen or makeup who currently single-cleanses and wants a comfortable, fragrance-free first-cleanse step with a light plant-oil finish.

Key benefits: fast emulsification, no greasy residue, fragrance-free, gentle enough for daily use, pairs cleanly with any second cleanser in the Adilsons catalog.

Keep in mind: the collagen/peptide marketing angle is unlikely to deliver meaningful anti-aging benefit in a rinse-off format, exact pH and active concentrations are not disclosed, and it must be paired with a second cleanse for full makeup/sunscreen removal.

Assessment: Suitable, with caution. The formula is fragrance-free (no synthetic Parfum), retinoid-free, and uses a mild glycol-based preservative system rather than harsher preservatives — generally favorable for treatment-sensitized skin.

However, it does contain several plant/flower extracts (rose, neem, ivy) that occasionally trigger sensitivity in compromised skin barriers, so patch testing matters more than usual during treatment.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.

Hard water interaction: in regions of Mauritius with harder tap water, the combination of an oil-to-foam double cleanse can still leave a calcium-stearate film that causes post-cleanse tightness; following with a pH-adjusting toner (see Best Paired With above) counteracts this rather than the cleansing oil itself worsening it.
