If your skin feels dull, slightly congested, or has a rough texture, this cleanser offers a very gentle introduction to chemical exfoliation. It uses a mild blend of three AHAs (Mandelic, Tartaric, Citric) to smooth the skin's surface while fermented black rice provides antioxidant benefits. It’s a foaming gel designed to clean effectively without causing the tight, dry feeling often associated with exfoliating cleansers.

Use this as your primary or second cleanser.

1. Oil Cleanser (PM, if needed): To remove heavy makeup or water-resistant sunscreen.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Lather a pea-sized amount with water, massage onto damp skin for 30-60 seconds, and rinse.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Always protect your skin in the morning, especially when using exfoliants, and hydrate at night.

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

This cleanser is gentle enough for morning use if your skin is oily or you feel residue from overnight products.

• Minimalist (2-3 steps): 1) Water Rinse or [THIS PRODUCT] → 2) Hydrating Toner (optional) → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional: Most users will not need a separate moisturiser if their sunscreen is hydrating enough for the Mauritian climate.
• Wait times: Allow 1-2 minutes for your skin to dry before applying sunscreen.

This is the ideal time to use this cleanser to wash away the day's build-up.

• Minimalist (2-3 steps): 1) Oil Cleanser (if wearing makeup/SPF) → 2) [THIS PRODUCT] → 3) Moisturiser
• Texture rule: After cleansing, apply your skincare from thinnest to thickest (e.g., toner, then serum, then cream).

Daily Use — Primarily PM, or AM if needed:

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the face and neck.
• Apply to: Damp skin. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Method: Lather the gel in your wet palms to create a soft foam. Massage gently over your face in circular motions for 30-60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Start with once daily use in the evening. If your skin is very sensitive, begin 3-4 times per week and build up to daily use.

If-This / Then-That:

• First time with acids? Use it only in the PM for the first 1-2 weeks to see how your skin adjusts.
• Wearing waterproof SPF? Use an oil cleanser first to dissolve it, then follow with this gel cleanser (this is called "double cleansing").
• Skin feels a little tight? You might be using too much product or cleansing for too long. Reduce the amount and massage for only 30 seconds. Follow immediately with a hydrator.
• On strong retinoids? This cleanser is generally gentle, but listen to your skin. If you experience sensitivity, use a non-exfoliating cleanser on the nights you use your retinoid.

Watchouts: Over-exfoliation is the main risk, even with gentle products. Signs include redness, sensitivity, and a tight, "shiny" look to the skin. If this occurs, stop use for a few days and focus on hydration. Always use sunscreen in the morning.

• Immediate (1-3 uses): Skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed without feeling stripped or tight.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent daily use (and daily sunscreen), you may notice a smoother skin texture and a slight improvement in skin brightness. Pores may appear clearer.
• 4–8+ weeks: Continued use helps maintain a clearer, more even-toned complexion. This is a gentle maintenance product, not a rapid treatment.

• Why this, not a harsh scrub? Physical scrubs with large, jagged particles (like sugar or crushed pits) can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially on darker skin tones. This gel uses very mild AHAs to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells for a much gentler, more even exfoliation.
• Why this, not DIY lemon juice? Lemon juice is highly acidic and phototoxic, meaning it can cause chemical burns and dark spots when skin is exposed to the sun. This cleanser is pH-balanced and formulated with specific, stable acids for safe and predictable results.

• Works well with: Hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Probiotics, and Niacinamide. It's designed to be the cleansing step, preparing the skin for these ingredients.
• Use carefully with: Other strong exfoliants (high-concentration AHA/BHA toners or serums) or high-strength retinoids (retinal/retinol). While this cleanser is gentle, it's best to avoid using multiple strong actives in the same routine, especially on the same night. Use them on alternate nights.
• Avoid: Using immediately after a professional chemical peel or when your skin barrier is compromised (e.g., red, stinging, peeling).

• Oily / Combination: Excellent. Helps to gently decongest pores and manage excess sebum without the harshness of stronger acne-focused cleansers.
• Normal: Very suitable for maintaining a smooth, clear complexion.
• Dry: Suitable, as it's formulated to be non-stripping and contains hydrating ingredients like glycerin and betaine. Ensure you follow with a good moisturiser.
• Sensitive: Generally well-tolerated due to its low-pH and gentle formula. However, as it contains AHAs, a patch test is essential. Some Reddit users with very sensitive, rosacea-prone skin have reported irritation.

• Dullness and uneven skin tone
• Rough or bumpy skin texture
• Clogged or congested pores
• General maintenance for a clear complexion

• MFDS Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a "Functional Cosmetic" by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS, formerly KFDA) for specific benefits like brightening or wrinkle improvement.

• Medical Disclaimer: This is a cosmetic product designed to cleanse and improve the appearance of skin texture. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

Key Actives Explained:

• Triple AHA Complex (Citric Acid 500ppm, Tartaric Acid 500ppm, Mandelic Acid 500ppm): A blend of alpha-hydroxy acids that work on the skin's surface to dissolve the 'glue' holding dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin. This combination is chosen for its gentleness compared to a high concentration of a single acid like glycolic acid. [Ingredient Rationale]
• Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract (100ppm): Fermented black rice extract is rich in antioxidants, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors. [Ingredient Rationale]
• Betaine & Glycerin: Powerful humectants that draw moisture into the skin, helping to counteract any potential dryness from the cleansing or exfoliating process. [Ingredient Rationale]
• Coco-Betaine & Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate: Gentle, plant-derived surfactants (cleansing agents) that effectively remove impurities without stripping the skin's natural protective oils. [Ingredient Rationale]

Full INCI List:

Water, Glycerin, Coco-Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Pentylene Glycol, Propanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Xanthan Gum, Betaine, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citric Acid(500ppm), Tartaric Acid (500ppm), Mandelic Acid(500ppm), Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract(100ppm), Phyllostachys Pubescens Shoot Bark Extract, Butylene Glycol, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract, Aspergillus Ferment, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Cyclodextrin, Beta-Glucan

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils. It has a neutral, slightly clinical scent from its raw ingredients. Intensity: 0/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.

• Who should use with caution: Those with extremely sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin should exercise caution due to the AHA content, even though it's mild. If your skin barrier is currently damaged (e.g., from sunburn, over-exfoliation), wait until it has recovered before using this product.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Low-concentration AHAs in a rinse-off formula are generally considered low-risk. However, we recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new active ingredients during this time.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or burning, do not use the product on your full face.

• Texture: A clear, lightweight gel that produces a soft, low-foaming lather.
• Finish: Rinses off cleanly, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated, not tight or squeaky.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Low pH (brand states it is pH-balanced), which helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Typically around 5.5. [Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.]
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The ingredient list appears to be free from common fungal acne triggers. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: Skin feels tight or dry after cleansing.
  Quick Fix: You may be cleansing for too long or using too much product. Reduce cleansing time to 30 seconds and use only a pea-sized amount. Apply your hydrating toner or moisturiser to damp skin immediately after rinsing to lock in moisture.
• Issue: Mild redness or irritation occurs.
  Quick Fix: You might be over-exfoliating. Reduce use to 2-3 times per week (PM only). Ensure you are not using other exfoliants or strong retinoids on the same day. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
• Issue: Not seeing results after 8 weeks.
  Quick Fix: Ensure you are using sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily and consistently. Exfoliants reveal fresh skin that is more vulnerable to sun damage, and without SPF, any benefits can be undone. For more significant texture or pigmentation concerns, a higher-strength leave-on exfoliant may be required.

• Humid Summer: This cleanser is perfect for summer. Its gentle exfoliating action helps prevent the pore congestion that can be exacerbated by heat, humidity, and sweat. It provides a thorough cleanse without stripping the skin, which is crucial when you might be washing your face more often.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: During the cooler months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, your skin can become dehydrated. This cleanser's hydrating, low-pH formula helps protect your skin's moisture barrier, preventing the dryness that other exfoliating cleansers might cause.
