Struggling with clogged pores, blackheads, or that feeling of sunscreen and makeup buildup at the end of a humid day? This cleansing oil is designed to tackle that without causing irritation.

• Best For: All skin types, including oily, combination, and sensitive skin.
• Core Benefit: Deeply cleanses pores and removes heavy makeup without stripping the skin's natural moisture.
• What to Expect: Skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed immediately after use. With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in blackheads and pore congestion.

1. Step 1 (PM Only): [THIS PRODUCT] - Dispense 2-3 pumps and massage onto your dry face to dissolve makeup and sunscreen.
2. Step 2 (PM Only): Water-Based Cleanser - After emulsifying the oil with water, follow up with a gentle foaming or gel cleanser to complete the double cleanse.
3. Step 3: Moisturiser - Finish with a light moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have an oil cleanser, finish it first before starting this one. Effective skincare is about consistency, not accumulation.

This product is the essential first step of an evening double-cleanse routine, designed to break down oil-based impurities from the day.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) [THIS PRODUCT] → 2) Water-Based Cleanser (e.g., a gentle foam) → 3) Moisturiser
• Optional Additions: After cleansing, you can incorporate a hydrating toner or a targeted serum (like niacinamide for pores) before applying your moisturiser.

Texture Rule: This oil cleanser always goes first on a dry face. Follow the "thinnest to thickest" rule for any products applied after your water-based cleanser.

Daily Use — PM Only:

• Amount: 2-3 pumps into dry hands.
• Apply to: Dry face and neck. It is generally safe for the eye area to remove makeup, but avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Method:
  1. Gently massage the oil onto your dry face in circular motions for about 30 seconds to melt makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.
  2. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your hands and continue massaging. The oil will turn milky (this is called emulsification).
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  4. Follow immediately with your water-based cleanser.
• Frequency: Use once daily in the evening.

If-This / Then-That:

• Heavy/Waterproof Makeup? Massage for a full 60 seconds to ensure everything dissolves.
• Clogged Pores/Blackheads? Focus your massage on congested areas like the nose, chin, and forehead to help loosen sebum plugs.
• Sensitive Skin? The formula is gentle, but still massage softly without pulling the skin. Ensure you rinse completely to leave no residue.

Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. For teens, this is an excellent first step to ensure sunscreen is properly removed, which can help prevent breakouts.

• Immediately: Skin feels soft, clean, and comfortable. Makeup, sunscreen, and surface oils are completely removed without any tight, stripped feeling.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use as part of a double-cleanse routine, you may notice a reduction in the appearance of blackheads and fewer clogged pores. Skin texture may feel smoother.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Skin appears more balanced. The gentle but thorough cleansing helps other products in your routine absorb and work more effectively.

• Why use an emulsifying oil cleanser, NOT coconut oil from the kitchen? While coconut oil can dissolve makeup, it is highly comedogenic (pore-clogging) for many people and doesn't contain emulsifiers. This means it leaves a greasy, pore-clogging film on the skin instead of rinsing clean with water. This SKIN1004 cleanser is specifically formulated with non-comedogenic oils and emulsifiers to wash away completely, taking all the grime with it.
• Why double cleanse instead of just using a harsh, stripping soap? Harsh soaps and scrubs can damage your skin's natural moisture barrier. This leads to irritation, dehydration, and can even trigger your skin to produce *more* oil to compensate. A gentle double cleanse with this oil followed by a mild foam cleanser respects your skin barrier, effectively cleaning without causing harm.

• Works With: This is the first step of your PM routine and is compatible with all other skincare products. It should always be followed by a water-based cleanser (e.g., foam, gel, or cream cleanser).
• Use Carefully: When massaging around the eye area to remove waterproof mascara, be gentle and avoid getting the oil directly into your eyes, as it can cause temporary cloudiness.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to a wet face, as this will emulsify the oil prematurely and reduce its effectiveness at dissolving makeup and sebum. Always start with dry hands and a dry face.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Its lightweight texture effectively dissolves excess sebum and blackheads without adding heaviness or greasiness.
• Dry Skin: Very suitable. It cleanses without stripping the skin's natural lipids, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated.
• Sensitive & Acne-Prone Skin: Highly recommended. Formulated with soothing Centella Asiatica and a minimal ingredient list, it's gentle and non-irritating. It is also non-comedogenic, helping to prevent pore congestion that leads to breakouts.

• Effective removal of stubborn, waterproof makeup and sunscreen
• Deep cleaning of congested pores

• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A gentle, lightweight emollient derived from coconut oil that helps dissolve oil-based impurities without feeling heavy.
• Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate: A key emulsifier that allows the oil to mix with water and rinse away cleanly, preventing any greasy residue.
• Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil: A non-comedogenic plant oil rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acid, which helps maintain a healthy skin barrier while cleansing.
• Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: Structurally similar to the skin's natural sebum, this oil helps balance oil production and provides lightweight moisture.

• Fragrance Status: No artificial fragrance added. The subtle, fresh scent comes from natural essential oils.
• Scent Intensity: 1/5 (Very Light).
• EU Allergens Declared: Contains Linalool and Limonene, which are naturally occurring components of the essential oils used (Bergamot, Geranium, Rose).

Though derived from natural sources, essential oils can still be sensitizing for some individuals. A patch test is always advised.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with known allergies to essential oils like Bergamot or Geranium should patch test carefully.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the oil to a clean, small area of skin, such as your jawline or behind your ear.
2. Do not rinse. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs after 24-48 hours, it is likely safe to use on your full face.
4. If irritation develops, discontinue use immediately and rinse the area with water.

For Teens: This cleanser is a safe and effective option for teenagers, especially for removing daily sunscreen, which is a key step in preventing acne.

• Texture & Finish: A very lightweight, watery oil that spreads easily. It emulsifies into a thin, milky liquid and rinses off completely, leaving skin feeling soft and clean with no greasy film.
• Scent: A very faint, natural citrus-herbal scent from the essential oils.
• pH: Not applicable, as this is an anhydrous (water-free) oil-based product.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Not considered FA-safe. The formula contains several plant oils and an ester (Ethylhexyl Stearate) that can potentially be utilized by the Malassezia yeast. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: My vision gets cloudy after using it.
  Fix: This is common with oil cleansers if the product gets into your eyes. It is harmless and temporary. Keep your eyes tightly closed while massaging and rinsing the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Issue: I think it's breaking me out.
  Fix: Ensure you are double cleansing correctly. The oil cleanser MUST be followed by a water-based cleanser to remove all residue. If breakouts persist, you may be sensitive to one of the plant oils; discontinue use and try an alternative.
• Issue: It's not removing my blackheads.
  Fix: While oil cleansing helps dissolve sebum, it is not an instant blackhead remover. For best results, massage the oil into congested areas for a full 60 seconds before emulsifying. Consistency over several weeks is key. Pair with a BHA exfoliant in your routine for more effective results.

This cleansing oil is perfectly suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summer: Its lightweight, watery texture feels refreshing and never heavy on the skin. It's excellent for thoroughly removing sweat, the day's build-up of sebum, and layers of water-resistant sunscreen without adding to the feeling of being greasy.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: While light, it is non-stripping and helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier, preventing the tightness that can come from indoor air-conditioning or the slightly drier winter air.

SKIN1004 (pronounced "Skin Cheon-sa," which means "Skin Angel" in Korean) is a natural skincare brand that believes good ingredients originate from good land. Their core philosophy is to deliver the untouched purity of nature to the skin. They are renowned for their high-quality Centella Asiatica, ethically sourced from the pristine environment of Madagascar. The brand focuses on creating gentle, effective, and clean formulas that are accessible to all, avoiding unnecessary additives and prioritizing skin comfort.

• Centella Asiatica: A medicinal herb known for its soothing, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. Often called "Cica" or "Tiger Grass."
• Double Cleansing: A two-step cleansing method, originating from Korea, that uses an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser to thoroughly remove all impurities.
• Emulsify: The process of mixing oil and water. In oil cleansing, adding water turns the oil into a milky liquid that can be easily rinsed off.
• Non-Comedogenic: Formulated in a way that is not likely to cause pore blockages (comedones) and breakouts.
• PAO (Period After Opening): An icon on the packaging (an open jar with a number like "12M") that indicates how many months the product will remain stable and effective after being opened.

At Adilsons, we are committed to Ṣidq (truth) and ʿAdl (fairness). We carefully curate our selection, ensuring every product is 100% authentic and sourced from official channels. Our descriptions are based on evidence and transparency, empowering you to make mindful, informed choices for your skin's health.

1. Do I really need to use a second, water-based cleanser after this?
Yes, this is highly recommended. The oil cleanser is designed to dissolve oil-based impurities (makeup, SPF, sebum). The water-based cleanser then washes away any remaining residue and water-based impurities like sweat and dirt. This two-step "double cleanse" ensures your skin is perfectly clean and ready for the rest of your routine.

2. I have very oily skin. Won't putting more oil on my face make it worse?
No, it's a common myth! The principle of "like dissolves like" applies here. This cleansing oil effectively breaks down and removes the excess oil on your skin and in your pores. Because it emulsifies and rinses away completely, it doesn't leave a greasy film. Many people with oily skin find their skin becomes more balanced after switching to a gentle double-cleanse routine.

3. How well does it remove waterproof mascara?
It is very effective at dissolving even stubborn waterproof makeup. For best results, gently massage the oil over your closed eyes for 15-20 seconds to allow it to break down the mascara before emulsifying and rinsing.

4. Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
The ingredient list does not contain any actives typically advised against during pregnancy (like retinoids or high-dose salicylic acid). It consists mainly of gentle plant oils and extracts. However, as skin can become more sensitive during pregnancy, we always recommend performing a patch test and consulting with your doctor if you have any concerns.
