If your skin feels tight, dry, or stripped after washing, this cleanser offers a welcome change. It’s a gentle, hydrating foam designed to remove daily impurities, excess oil, and light makeup without compromising your skin's delicate moisture barrier. Formulated with a complex of eight different types of Hyaluronic Acid, it cleanses while actively drawing moisture to the skin, leaving it feeling soft, comfortable, and balanced—never squeaky or dry. It's an ideal choice for all skin types, especially those with sensitive, dry, or dehydrated skin looking for a cleanse that comforts and hydrates.

1. Double Cleanse (PM Only): If wearing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, start with an oil cleanser.
2. [THIS PRODUCT]: Squeeze a pea-sized amount, lather with water, and gently massage onto your face for 30-60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Follow-up: Pat skin dry and continue with your toner, serum, and moisturiser.

Note: Already own a similar cleanser? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

A simple morning routine to start your day fresh:

• Step 1: [THIS PRODUCT] - A gentle cleanse to remove overnight buildup.
• Step 2 (Optional): Hydrating Toner - Adds a layer of moisture.
• Step 3: Serum - Address specific concerns (e.g., Vitamin C for antioxidant protection).
• Step 4: Sunscreen - The most crucial step to protect your skin.

A routine to cleanse and repair overnight:

• Step 1: Oil Cleanser (if wearing makeup/sunscreen) - To dissolve impurities.
• Step 2: [THIS PRODUCT] - To wash everything away, leaving skin clean and hydrated.
• Step 3: Treatment - Apply any targeted serums (e.g., for acne or pigmentation).
• Step 4: Moisturiser - To lock in hydration and support your skin barrier overnight.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient. A little goes a long way!
• Method: Squeeze the product into wet hands and rub together to create a rich, creamy foam. Gently massage onto your face in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning and evening.

Double Cleansing: This cleanser works perfectly as the second step in a double-cleansing routine, after using an oil-based cleanser to melt away makeup and sunscreen. This two-step process ensures a thorough cleanse without stripping the skin.

• Daily: Use this cleanser every morning (AM) and every evening (PM). Its gentle formula is designed for consistent, twice-daily use to maintain a clean and hydrated complexion.

Because this is a gentle base product, it does not require alternating and can be used alongside your other active ingredients (like exfoliants or retinoids) without conflict.

• Immediately: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortably hydrated without any tightness or stripping.
• After 2-4 weeks: With consistent use, you may notice your skin feels more balanced and less prone to dehydration-related issues like tightness or excess oil. The skin barrier feels more supported.
• After 8+ weeks: Your skin's baseline hydration level is improved, creating a healthier canvas for your other skincare products to work more effectively.

Myth: My face isn't clean unless it feels "squeaky clean" and tight.

Truth: That tight, squeaky feeling is a sign that your cleanser has stripped your skin of its natural, protective oils, damaging your moisture barrier. A healthy cleanse, like the one provided by this Anua foaming cleanser, should leave your skin feeling soft and hydrated, not tight. Choose emulsifying cleansers over harsh options like dish soap or DIY concoctions that can cause long-term damage.

This gentle cleanser is universally compatible and can be used in any skincare routine.

• Works Well With: Everything. It provides a clean, hydrated base that prepares the skin for toners, essences, serums (including strong actives like retinoids and acids), and moisturisers.
• Use Carefully With: No specific conflicts. Just ensure you rinse it off completely before applying your next skincare steps.
• Avoid: Using harsh physical scrubs or other stripping cleansers at the same time. This cleanser is sufficient on its own or as the second step of a double cleanse.

• All Skin Types: This product is formulated to be suitable for all skin types.
• Sensitive Skin: An excellent choice. It is fragrance-free and designed to be non-irritating.
• Dry & Dehydrated Skin: Highly recommended. The 8-type Hyaluronic Acid complex provides essential hydration during the cleansing step, preventing further dryness.
• Oily & Combination Skin: A great option. It effectively removes excess sebum without over-stripping, which can help regulate oil production over time.

• Dehydration and Dryness: Actively hydrates the skin during cleansing to combat tightness and flakiness.
• Compromised Skin Barrier: Gently cleanses without stripping the skin’s natural protective oils, helping to maintain a healthy moisture barrier.
• Sensitivity: Its mild, fragrance-free formula is designed to cleanse without causing redness or irritation.

This product is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, to ensure it's right for you, we recommend a patch test.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no irritation occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. Discontinue use if you experience any discomfort.

Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. For teens and tweens, this gentle cleanser is a great starting point for a simple routine focused on cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection.

• Texture: A dense cream that transforms into a rich, soft, and creamy foam when lathered with water.
• Finish: Rinses clean without leaving any residue, leaving skin feeling soft, hydrated, and refreshed.
• pH: Formulated to be pH-balancing to protect the skin's natural acid mantle.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This formula appears to be fungal acne-safe based on an ingredient review, as it is free from most common triggers like oils and esters. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: My skin still feels a bit tight after use.

  Solution: While this cleanser is hydrating, very dry or dehydrated skin types might still experience some tightness, especially in a dry, air-conditioned environment. Ensure you are applying your toner and moisturiser immediately after cleansing onto slightly damp skin to lock in hydration.

• Issue: It doesn't remove all of my heavy makeup.

  Solution: This is a gentle water-based cleanser. For heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, it should be used as the second step of a double cleanse. Start with an oil-based cleanser first to effectively melt everything away, then follow with this foaming cleanser.

This cleanser is an excellent match for the warm and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: Its lightweight, foaming texture effectively removes sweat, excess sebum, and impurities without adding any heavy residue, leaving the skin feeling fresh and clean.
• Drier Winters / Air-Conditioned Environments: The hydrating formula with 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid helps counteract the drying effects of "winter" air or constant air-conditioning, ensuring your skin remains hydrated and comfortable after cleansing.
