Achieve a truly deep and soothing clean, perfect for Mauritius's warm and humid climate. This two-step system effectively melts away daily sunscreen, makeup, and excess oil without stripping your skin's natural moisture barrier. Start with the lightweight Light Cleansing Oil to dissolve impurities, followed by the rich Ampoule Foam to wash them away, leaving your skin feeling calm, hydrated, and perfectly balanced.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
If you're tired of cleansers that either don't fully remove makeup or leave your skin feeling tight and irritated, this duo offers a gentle yet powerful solution. It's designed to respect your skin's natural balance.
- Product Type: Double Cleanse Set (Oil Cleanser + Foam Cleanser)
- Core Function: Thoroughly removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while soothing the skin.
- Who It's For: Suitable for all skin types, including oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin.
- Key Ingredient: Madagascar Centella Asiatica Extract (soothes, hydrates, and calms inflammation).
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
This duo forms the first essential step of your evening routine.
- Step 1 (PM): Massage the Light Cleansing Oil onto a dry face to dissolve sunscreen and makeup.
- Step 2 (PM): Add water to emulsify the oil, then rinse. Follow with the Ampoule Foam on a damp face, lather, and rinse.
- Step 3: Follow with your favourite moisturiser. In the morning, use only the Ampoule Foam, followed by sunscreen.
Note: Already own a similar cleanser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, donβt stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
In the morning, a single cleanse is usually sufficient.
- Step 1: Cleanse with the Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam.
- Step 2: Follow with your toner, serum, and/or moisturiser.
- Step 3: Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
The double cleanse is most effective at night to remove the day's build-up of sunscreen, makeup, and pollutants.
- Step 1 (Oil Cleanse): Start with the Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil on a dry face to break down oil-based impurities.
- Step 2 (Water-based Cleanse): Follow with the Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam on a damp face to wash everything away.
- Step 3: Apply your nightly serums, treatments, and moisturiser.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
The Double Cleanse Method (PM):
- Light Cleansing Oil: Dispense 1-2 pumps into dry hands. Gently massage onto your dry face in circular motions for about 30 seconds to melt makeup and sunscreen.
- Emulsify: Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your hands and continue massaging your face. The oil will turn milky. This step is crucial for lifting impurities without leaving residue.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Ampoule Foam: Squeeze a pea-sized amount into your damp hands and lather to create a rich foam.
- Second Cleanse: Massage the foam onto your damp face, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Morning Cleanse (AM):
- Use only the Ampoule Foam on damp skin.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
-
Daily Use:
- AM: Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam.
- PM: Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil, followed by the Ampoule Foam.
- Compatibility: As a gentle cleansing system, this duo is safe to use daily and prepares the skin for any active ingredients in your routine, such as retinoids or exfoliating acids.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed without any tightness or greasy residue. Makeup and sunscreen are thoroughly removed.
- 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in clogged pores and blackheads. Skin feels more balanced and less prone to irritation from cleansing.
- 4-8+ Weeks: The soothing properties of Centella Asiatica contribute to a calmer, healthier-looking complexion. A clean canvas allows other skincare products to absorb and perform more effectively.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use this Double Cleanse Duo, not just makeup wipes or a harsh scrub?
- Myth: "Makeup wipes and a foaming cleanser are enough." Reality: Wipes often smear dirt, oil, and makeup across the skin, leaving behind a residue that can clog pores. An emulsifying oil cleanser, like the SKIN1004 Light Cleansing Oil, properly dissolves and lifts everything, which is then completely washed away by the foam cleanser for a true clean.
- Myth: "I need a harsh scrub to feel really clean." Reality: Abrasive scrubs can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and a damaged skin barrier. This gentle duo cleanses pores effectively without the physical damage, making it a safer and more effective long-term solution.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
As the first step in your routine, this cleansing duo is compatible with virtually all other skincare products.
- Works Well With: Hydrating toners, essences, serums (including Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinoids, Hyaluronic Acid), moisturisers, and oils. It creates the perfect clean base for these products to work effectively.
- Use Carefully: No major conflicts. However, always pat your skin dry gently after cleansing before applying actives to prevent dilution.
- Avoid: Do not mix the cleansers together in your hand. Use them one after the other as instructed for a proper double cleanse.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Effectively removes excess sebum and sunscreen without stripping the skin, helping to balance oil production.
- Sensitive Skin: Ideal. Formulated with soothing Centella Asiatica and a low-pH foam cleanser to minimize irritation.
- Dry Skin: Very suitable. The cleansing oil nourishes while cleansing, and the ampoule foam cleans without causing tightness.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Highly recommended. Thoroughly cleanses pores to help prevent breakouts, while Centella helps calm inflammation.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Thorough removal of makeup (including light waterproof products) and sunscreen.
- Deeply cleansing clogged pores and reducing the appearance of blackheads.
- Removing excess oil and daily grime without causing dryness.
- Calming and soothing sensitive or irritated skin during the cleansing process.

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
"My vision is blurry after using the oil cleanser!"

-
"My skin still feels a bit oily after cleansing."
- Solution: Ensure you are emulsifying properly. After massaging the oil on your dry face, add a small amount of water and massage again until it turns fully milky before rinsing. Also, be sure to use the foam cleanser as the second step to remove any remaining residue.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Do I need to double cleanse every single day?
- It's most beneficial on days you wear sunscreen or makeup. On days you stay home and wear no products, a single cleanse with the Ampoule Foam in the evening may be sufficient.
- Can I just use the cleansing oil without the foam cleanser?
- While the oil cleanser emulsifies and rinses off, it's designed as the first step. Following with the foam cleanser ensures any oily residue and remaining impurities are completely washed away, which is especially important for acne-prone or oily skin.
- Is this duo effective against waterproof mascara?
- The Light Cleansing Oil is effective for most daily makeup. For very stubborn, waterproof eye makeup, you may find it helpful to use a dedicated biphasic eye makeup remover on a cotton pad first for the quickest and most comfortable removal.
- Why is a low-pH cleanser important?
- The skin's surface has a naturally acidic protective layer called the acid mantle (pH 4.5-5.5). High-pH (alkaline) cleansers can strip this barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and breakouts. A low-pH cleanser like the Ampoule Foam cleans effectively while respecting this natural barrier.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
- Best For: All skin types, especially those with sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin looking for a complete and gentle cleansing solution.
- Key Benefits: Thoroughly removes sunscreen and makeup, deep cleans pores without stripping, and soothes the skin with Centella Asiatica.
- Keep in Mind: The cleansing oil contains natural essential oils, so a patch test is recommended for those with extreme sensitivities. May not be sufficient for the most stubborn waterproof eye makeup on its own.
