A beautifully gentle yet effective daily cleanser that respects your skin's natural balance. Formulated with purifying Mung Bean Extract, this cleansing foam lifts away dirt, excess oil, and sunscreen without causing the tightness or irritation common with harsher cleansers. Its soft, creamy lather provides a comfortable cleanse, making it a perfect starting point for any routine, especially in the warm, humid climate of Mauritius where skin can feel easily overwhelmed.

Struggling with cleansers that feel tight, stripping, or cause irritation? This gentle foam offers a comfortable, purifying clean that leaves your skin feeling soft and balanced, not stressed.

• Texture: A soft, creamy paste that lathers into a light, gentle foam. Contains very fine Mung Bean powder for micro-exfoliation.
• Key Benefits: Deeply cleanses impurities and excess sebum from pores, maintains a healthy skin pH, and soothes the skin without stripping its natural moisture barrier.
• Best For: All skin types, including oily, combination, and especially sensitive or acne-prone skin looking for a gentle daily cleanse.

1. Cleanser [THIS PRODUCT]: Lather a pea-sized amount and gently massage onto damp skin to create a clean base.
2. Moisturiser: Apply a suitable moisturiser to hydrate and protect the skin barrier.
3. Sunscreen (AM only): Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect your skin and the results of your routine.

Note: Already own a similar cleanser? Finish that first. Mindful consumption means substituting products, not just stacking them.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanser [THIS PRODUCT]: Start your day with a gentle cleanse to remove overnight buildup.
2. Moisturiser (Optional): If your sunscreen is hydrating enough for the Mauritian humidity, you may be able to skip this.
3. Sunscreen: Always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher. This is the most crucial step to protect your skin.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Double Cleanse (Recommended): Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, then follow with [THIS PRODUCT] for a thorough clean. If you don't wear makeup or heavy sunscreen, a single cleanse with this product is sufficient.
2. Targeted Serum (Optional): Apply a serum for your specific skin concerns (e.g., hydration, brightening).
3. Moisturiser: Apply a moisturiser to lock in hydration and support skin repair overnight.

Rule of thumb: Apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM & PM

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face.
• Method: Squeeze the product into your palm, add a small amount of lukewarm water, and rub your hands together to create a soft lather. Gently massage the foam onto your damp face in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use once or twice daily.

Double Cleansing (PM Routine)

• This is a two-step process perfect for removing stubborn sunscreen, makeup, and excess oil at the end of the day.
• Step 1 (Oil Cleanser): Massage an oil-based cleanser onto your dry face to dissolve impurities.
• Step 2 (This Product): Add water to emulsify the oil cleanser, rinse, and then follow with this Mung Bean Cleansing Foam on your damp face for a final, refreshing clean.

• Daily: This cleanser is gentle enough for use every morning (AM) and evening (PM) as the cleansing step in your routine.

• Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable without any tightness or stripping sensation.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in skin sensitivity and redness. Skin should feel more balanced, with potentially less irritation.
• 4–8+ weeks: Skin's natural moisture barrier feels stronger and more resilient. The overall complexion appears clearer and more balanced as the gentle, pH-appropriate cleansing helps maintain a healthy skin environment.

Results vary depending on individual skin type and consistency of use. Daily sunscreen is essential to see and maintain results.

Why use a pH-balanced foam instead of a "squeaky-clean" harsh soap?

That "squeaky-clean" feeling is often a sign that your skin's protective acid mantle has been stripped. A compromised barrier can lead to dehydration, increased sensitivity, and can even trigger your skin to produce more oil to compensate. This pH-balanced cleanser effectively removes impurities while respecting your skin's natural barrier, leading to healthier, more balanced skin over time.

• Works With: As a gentle, rinse-off cleanser, this product is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients, including strong actives like retinoids, vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) that you might use in subsequent steps of your routine.
• Use Carefully: If you have extremely dry skin, you might feel a slight tightness after cleansing. Always follow up immediately with a hydrating toner and moisturizer to replenish moisture.
• Avoid: Avoid getting the foam directly into your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Effectively removes excess sebum without over-drying, helping to balance the skin.
• Sensitive Skin: Excellent. The pH-balanced, gentle formula is designed to cleanse without causing irritation or redness.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Excellent. Helps keep pores clear of impurities that can lead to breakouts, and is gentle enough not to aggravate existing inflammation.
• Normal Skin: Excellent. A perfect daily cleanser to maintain skin health and balance.
• Dry Skin: Good. While effective, very dry skin types should ensure they follow up immediately with hydrating products to maintain moisture levels.

• Impurities & Daily Grime: Effectively removes dirt, fine dust, and residue from sunscreen and light makeup.
• Excess Sebum: Helps to manage oiliness and reduce surface shine for a more balanced complexion.
• Sensitivity & Redness: The gentle, pH-balanced formula helps to minimize irritation and calm the skin during cleansing.
• Clogged Pores: Helps to purify pores and prevent the buildup that can lead to blackheads and minor breakouts.

• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Powder: A potent antioxidant that helps to soothe the skin, reduce redness, and protect against environmental stressors.

Who Should Use This:

This cleanser is designed to be gentle and is suitable for all skin types. It is an especially good choice for those with oily, combination, sensitive, or acne-prone skin who need an effective cleanse that doesn't cause irritation.

Patch Test Protocol:

Before using a new product for the first time, we strongly recommend a patch test to check for any potential sensitivity.

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cleanser to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Gently lather and rinse as you would on your face.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

• Texture: A smooth, creamy paste with a slightly grainy feel from the fine mung bean powder.
• Lather: It emulsifies with water into a soft, dense, and creamy foam rather than large, airy bubbles.
• Finish: Rinses off cleanly, leaving skin feeling soft, refreshed, and hydrated, with no residue or tightness.
• pH Level: Approximately 5.5 - 6.5. This slightly acidic pH is close to the skin's natural pH, which helps to protect the skin's moisture barrier (acid mantle).
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This formula is generally considered safe for those with fungal acne concerns as it does not contain common triggers like fatty acids or esters that can feed the yeast. However, individual responses can vary.

• If your skin feels slightly tight after use: You might be using too much product or using water that is too hot. Try using a smaller, pea-sized amount and rinse with lukewarm water. Always follow up with a hydrator.
• If it's not lathering into a big foam: This is normal! This cleanser uses gentle, amino-acid based surfactants which create a creamy, dense lather, not large bubbles. This is a sign of a gentler formulation.
• If you're still experiencing breakouts: Cleansing is only one part of a skincare routine. Ensure the other products in your routine (serums, moisturizers) are also non-comedogenic and suitable for your skin type. For persistent acne, a targeted treatment product may be needed.

This cleanser is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: It effectively removes sweat, excess sebum, and sunscreen without stripping the skin, leaving it feeling fresh and clean, not heavy or greasy.
• Drier/Cooler Winters: Its gentle, pH-balanced formula ensures it won't exacerbate dryness or sensitivity when the air is less humid or you are in air-conditioned environments.

Aggregated sentiment from verified purchasers on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle.

"It is a good foam cleanser. Leaves my oily skin clean but not feeling stripped of the natural oils. I love the sleek packaging as well. For people who prefer their cleansers to foam up, this is not one of them."
– YesStyle review (2025-08)

"What I like most about this cleanser is that it feels very gentle on the skin while still giving a nice, thorough cleanse. It removes oil well, but because of that, I do feel a bit of tightness afterwards, so I always follow up with toner and lotion."
– Reddit, r/SkincareAddiction review (2025-06)

"It cleanses deep into the pores for a thorough clean. Especially gentle, so it's recommended for those with super sensitive skin. It seems to lack that rich, creamy texture, so I wouldn't recommend it to those who prioritize a thicker consistency."
– Hwahae Korean review (2025-09)

Is this cleanser good for removing makeup?
It effectively removes light makeup and sunscreen. For heavy, waterproof, or long-wearing makeup, we highly recommend starting with an oil-based cleanser (the first step of a double cleanse) before using this foam cleanser to ensure everything is thoroughly removed without harsh rubbing.

Why doesn't it create big, foamy bubbles?
This cleanser is formulated with gentle, amino acid-based surfactants, which naturally create a dense, creamy lather rather than large, airy bubbles. This is a characteristic of milder, more skin-friendly cleansers that don't strip the skin's natural oils.

Are the little grains in the cleanser harsh?
No, the grains are from finely milled Mung Bean Powder. They are soft and provide a very mild, almost unnoticeable exfoliation. They are not harsh plastic microbeads or sharp crystals and are gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin.

Best For: Individuals of all skin types, especially those with sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin, who want a gentle but effective daily cleanser that purifies without stripping.
