A rich, soft foaming cleanser that effectively removes impurities without stripping the skin, leaving it feeling moist and supple. Its formula is designed to protect the skin's moisture barrier, making it a gentle choice for daily cleansing, especially in Mauritius's often dehydrating climate.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
If your skin often feels tight, dry, or stripped after washing, this cleanser is designed to provide a more comfortable and hydrating experience.
- Texture: A thick, creamy paste that lathers into a dense, soft foam.
- Scent: Contains a light, fresh fragrance.
- Primary Benefit: Cleanses skin of daily grime, makeup residue, and sunscreen without causing dryness.
- Key Ingredients: Super Collagen™ Water (Hydrolyzed Collagen), Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- THIS PRODUCT: Squeeze a pea-sized amount, lather with water, and gently massage onto your face. Rinse with lukewarm water.
- Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to damp skin to prep for other products.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Finish by sealing in moisture and protecting your skin.
Mindful Tip: Already own a gentle cleanser? Finish that first to avoid waste. This product is a great replacement if your current cleanser leaves your skin feeling tight.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
- THIS PRODUCT: A gentle morning cleanse to remove overnight buildup.
- Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional): Adds a layer of hydration.
- Serum (Optional): A Vitamin C or Niacinamide serum can help with brightness and oil control.
- Sunscreen SPF 30+: Essential for protecting your skin from the Mauritian sun.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
- Oil Cleanser (if wearing makeup/sunscreen): The first step of a double cleanse to dissolve oil-based impurities.
- THIS PRODUCT: The second step to wash everything away, leaving skin fresh.
- Serum/Treatment (Optional): Apply any targeted treatments for your skin concerns.
- Moisturiser: Lock in hydration for the night.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient. A little goes a long way.
- Method: Lather the cream with a small amount of water in your hands to create a rich foam. Gently massage onto your face in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Frequency: Use once or twice daily, in the morning and/or evening.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed without the tight, stripped feeling common with other foam cleansers.
- 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin's moisture balance may feel more stable. You might notice less dryness or irritation after cleansing.
- 4-8+ Weeks: The main benefit is clean, comfortable skin that is well-prepped for your other skincare steps. This cleanser helps maintain the skin barrier, supporting the efficacy of your serums and moisturisers.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use a formulated cleanser instead of harsh soaps?
Traditional bar soaps or dish soap have a very high pH that can strip your skin's natural protective barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and even more oil production as your skin tries to compensate. This gentle, pH-balanced foam cleanser effectively removes impurities while respecting your skin's delicate moisture barrier.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Normal to Dry Skin: Excellent. Many users with dry skin report this is one of the few foaming cleansers that doesn't leave their skin feeling tight.
- Combination Skin: Very good. It effectively cleanses oilier zones without stripping drier areas.
- Oily Skin: Good. It provides a thorough cleanse, though some with very oily skin might prefer a cleanser with active ingredients like Salicylic Acid for pore control.
- Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated, but it does contain fragrance. A patch test is always recommended.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Dryness and Dehydration after cleansing: Its primary purpose is to provide a hydrating cleanse, preventing that tight, uncomfortable feeling.
- Impurity and Makeup Residue Removal: Creates a rich foam that effectively lifts away daily grime and light makeup.

Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum").
- Scent Profile: A light, fresh, slightly floral scent that most users find pleasant. Intensity: 2/5.
- EU Allergens: None explicitly declared by the brand on the available ingredient lists. However, components of "Parfum" are proprietary. Patch testing is advised for highly sensitive individuals.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
This cleanser is suitable for most skin types but contains fragrance, which can be a potential irritant for very sensitive skin.
Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner arm. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, discontinue use. If your skin feels comfortable, proceed with facial use.
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A rich, pearlescent cream that transforms into a dense, cushiony foam.
- Finish on Skin: Leaves skin feeling soft, clean, and hydrated, not stripped or tight.
- pH: Not officially published by the brand. As a saponified fatty acid-based foaming cleanser (containing Myristic, Stearic, Palmitic Acid and Potassium Hydroxide), it is likely to have an alkaline pH (typically between 8.0-9.5).
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, and Stearic Acid, which can be potential triggers for fungal acne. Individuals with this concern should patch test carefully.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
- "My skin still feels a bit tight after use." While this cleanser is hydrating for a foam, all foaming cleansers can be slightly drying for very dry skin types. Try using a smaller amount, ensure you're rinsing with lukewarm (not hot) water, and apply your hydrating toner immediately to damp skin.
- "It doesn't remove all my waterproof makeup." This is a water-based cleanser. For heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, it's best used as the second step in a double-cleanse routine, following an oil-based cleanser or cleansing balm.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This cleanser is well-suited for the Mauritian climate. Its effective cleansing power is great for washing away sweat, sebum, and sunscreen after a hot and humid day. During drier winter months or for those in constant air-conditioning, its hydrating properties help prevent the skin from feeling stripped and dehydrated.
