Start your day with a gentle, hydrating cleanse that prepares your skin without stripping it.

• Step 1: [THIS PRODUCT] IsNtree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser
  Apply to damp skin, massage gently, and rinse. This removes overnight impurities while leaving skin soft and hydrated.
• Step 2: Hydrating Toner (Optional)
  Apply a toner to add a layer of hydration and help subsequent products absorb better.
• Step 3: Serum (Optional)
  Apply a targeted serum for your specific concerns (e.g., Vitamin C for brightness).
• Step 4: Moisturiser
  Use a moisturiser suitable for your skin type to keep it hydrated throughout the day.
• Step 5: Sunscreen
  This is the most crucial step. Apply a generous amount of SPF 30+ sunscreen to protect your skin from Mauritius's strong sun.

Effectively melt away makeup, sunscreen, and the day's impurities with a thorough yet gentle evening cleanse.

• Step 1: Double Cleanse
  
  • First Cleanse: [THIS PRODUCT] IsNtree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser on Dry Skin
    Massage onto your dry face to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. Its milky texture is excellent for this first step.
  • Second Cleanse (Optional): If you wear heavy makeup or have oily skin, you might follow up with a water-based foaming cleanser. For many, especially those with dry or sensitive skin, this milk cleanser used once (or twice) is sufficient. Add a little water to emulsify, massage again, and rinse thoroughly.
• Step 2: Toner/Essence
  Apply your chosen hydrating or treatment toner.
• Step 3: Serum/Ampoule
  Apply any targeted serums for concerns like anti-aging, pigmentation, or acne.
• Step 4: Moisturiser
  Finish with a night cream or moisturiser to support your skin's overnight repair process.

This cleanser is versatile and can be used in a few different ways depending on your needs.

• Amount: Dispense 1-2 pumps (an almond-sized amount).
• Frequency: Safe for daily use, both AM and PM.

Method 1: As a Makeup & Sunscreen Remover (First Cleanse)

1. Apply to a dry face.
2. Gently massage in circular motions for 30-60 seconds to melt away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities.
3. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to emulsify the product into a milky lotion.
4. Massage again briefly, then rinse thoroughly.

Method 2: As a Gentle Morning or Second Cleanse

1. Apply to a damp face.
2. Massage gently to cleanse the skin.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

As a gentle daily cleanser, this product fits seamlessly into any routine, supporting the use of other active ingredients by ensuring your skin barrier is not compromised by cleansing.

• Daily Use: Use AM and PM, every day of the week.
• With Actives: This cleanser is an excellent choice on nights when you use exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids, as it provides a gentle cleanse that won't contribute to irritation or dryness.

• Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortably hydrated immediately after rinsing. There should be no feeling of tightness or stripping. Makeup and sunscreen are effectively removed.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice your skin's hydration levels improve. If you previously suffered from dryness or irritation caused by harsh cleansers, your skin should feel more balanced and calm.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Your skin's natural moisture barrier is better supported, leading to improved resilience and a healthier overall appearance.

Why use a gentle milk cleanser, not a harsh foaming one?

It's a common myth that you need a squeaky-clean, tight feeling for your skin to be truly clean. In reality, that sensation often means your skin's protective moisture barrier has been stripped of its natural oils. This can lead to dehydration, sensitivity, and even cause your skin to produce more oil to compensate.

This vegan milk cleanser uses gentle, plant-derived surfactants to effectively dissolve impurities, oil, and makeup without disrupting your skin's delicate balance. It cleanses thoroughly while leaving your skin feeling soft, hydrated, and respected.

This is a foundational product that is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients.

• ✅ Works Well With: All ingredients. It's an ideal gentle cleanser to use in routines that include strong actives like Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin), Vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA), as it helps maintain barrier health.
• ⚠️ Use Carefully With: No specific ingredients require caution. However, if you wear extremely heavy or waterproof makeup, you may find it beneficial to use a dedicated oil-based balm or eye makeup remover as a first step for the most stubborn products before using this milk cleanser.
• ❌ Avoid On: Not applicable. It is gentle enough for all areas, including around the eyes.

• Dry Skin: Excellent. Provides a nourishing cleanse that adds moisture instead of removing it.
• Sensitive Skin: Excellent. The gentle, fragrance-free formula is designed to calm and cleanse without irritation.
• Normal Skin: Very good. A perfect daily cleanser to maintain skin balance.
• Combination Skin: Very good. Effectively cleanses oily areas without stripping drier parts of the face. Can be used as a morning cleanse or second cleanse.
• Oily Skin: Good, with a caveat. While it cleanses effectively, those with very oily skin might prefer the feeling of a foaming cleanser as their second step. It's an excellent choice as a gentle morning cleanser or a first cleanse to remove makeup.

• Dryness & Dehydration: Cleanses while replenishing moisture, preventing the tight, uncomfortable feeling often caused by other cleansers.
• Sensitivity & Redness: The gentle, low-pH formula respects the skin's natural barrier, reducing the risk of irritation and calming the skin.
• Makeup & Sunscreen Removal: Effectively melts away light to medium makeup and daily sunscreen without harsh rubbing.
• Compromised Skin Barrier: Provides a non-stripping cleanse that helps protect and maintain the essential lipids and proteins of the skin barrier.

Full INCI List:

• Preservative System: 1,2-Hexanediol.
• Alcohol-Free: Formulated without drying alcohols (ethanol, denatured alcohol). Contains fatty alcohols (Arachidyl, Cetearyl, Behenyl Alcohol) which are non-irritating emollients.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent: It has a very mild, neutral scent derived from its base ingredients. Intensity: 0.5/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.
• Botanical Note: Contains various plant and seed extracts (Oat, Almond, Soybean). While generally safe, those with specific, severe nut or grain allergies should perform a patch test as a precaution.

This product is formulated for gentleness, but responsible use is key for skin health.

• Who Should Use: Anyone seeking a gentle, hydrating cleanser, especially those with dry, sensitive, or reactive skin.
• Who Should Use With Caution: Individuals with known allergies to specific plant extracts listed in the ingredients (e.g., oat, almond, soy) should be mindful. While generally non-comedogenic, very acne-prone individuals should monitor their skin when introducing any new product.

Patch Test Protocol:

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

For Teens & Tweens: This is an excellent gentle cleanser for young skin just starting a routine. It effectively cleanses without being harsh, teaching good habits from the start. A simple routine of this cleanser, a light moisturiser, and daily sunscreen is a perfect foundation.

• Texture: A smooth, creamy, and rich milk-lotion texture. It has a unique viscosity from the yam root extract that feels nourishing as you massage it.
• Finish on Skin: After rinsing, it leaves the skin feeling soft, supple, and hydrated, with no greasy residue or tight, stripped feeling.
• Scent: Essentially unscented, with a faint, natural smell from the base ingredients.
• pH: Approximately 5.5. This low pH is close to the skin's natural acidity, which helps to protect the skin's moisture barrier and prevent irritation. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Glyceryl Stearate, which may be potential triggers for those with fungal acne. Individual responses vary, and a patch test is advised.

• Issue: My skin doesn't feel 'squeaky clean' after using it.
  Solution: That's a good thing! The 'squeaky clean' feeling is a sign of a stripped moisture barrier. This cleanser is designed to leave your skin's natural protective oils intact. If you wear very heavy makeup, consider using this as a first cleanse followed by a gentle foaming cleanser.
• Issue: It doesn't remove my waterproof mascara or eyeliner completely.
  Solution: Milk cleansers are excellent for face makeup and sunscreen but may struggle with stubborn, waterproof eye makeup. For best results, use a dedicated bi-phase eye makeup remover on a cotton pad first, before cleansing your full face with the milk cleanser.
• Issue: The product seems to disappear into my skin when I apply it dry.
  Solution: This can happen, especially if your skin is dehydrated. Ensure you are using enough product (1-2 pumps). After massaging it on dry skin for a moment, quickly add a splash of water to your hands and continue massaging. This will emulsify the cleanser into a lotion, giving it more slip and cleansing power before you rinse.

This cleanser's gentle, hydrating nature makes it well-suited for the variable conditions in Mauritius.

• Humid Summer Months: Perfect as a single morning cleanse to refresh the skin without adding heaviness. In the evening, it's an ideal second cleanser after an oil cleanser to remove sweat, sunscreen, and grime without over-drying the skin in the humid air.
• Drier, Cooler Winter Months: An excellent primary cleanser for both AM and PM. Its milky, nourishing formula helps prevent the moisture loss and tightness that can occur when the air is less humid.
• Indoors / Air-Conditioning: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments, which can be very dehydrating, this cleanser is a fantastic choice to ensure your skin barrier remains healthy and hydrated.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain the integrity of the formula. A bathroom cabinet or drawer is ideal.

Aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle. These are anecdotes and individual experiences will vary.

"This is my new favourite cleanser, i have very sensitive skin and this leaves my skin moisturized but without a film. The texture is very creamy, liquidy. I will purchase again."

"I have sensitive combination break out prone skin. The yam cleanser is especially perfect for mornings when I want more than a rinse! I also find it effective for evening, with or even sometimes without a cleansing balm (I wear mineral sunscreens)."

"This is an excellent cleanser for dehydrated skin. It leaves my face clean, moisturized and so soft. It's so gentle and has a medium lotion like composition... I don't think it is suitable for people with oily skin or if you like a squeaky clean feeling."

Fair Caveat: Some users note that while it's excellent for light makeup and sunscreen, it may not be sufficient to remove heavy or waterproof makeup on its own and works best as a second cleanser in those cases. A user on Hwahae mentioned, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like it doesn't remove everything as thoroughly as an oil cleanser would."

Can I use this as my only cleanser if I wear makeup?

For light makeup and daily sunscreen, this cleanser is often sufficient on its own. For heavier or waterproof makeup, we recommend using it as the first step in a double-cleanse routine, followed by a water-based cleanser, or using a dedicated eye makeup remover first.

Is this cleanser suitable for oily and acne-prone skin?

Yes, it can be a great option as a gentle morning cleanser or as a non-stripping second cleanse at night. However, some individuals with very oily skin may prefer a foaming cleanser for their final cleanse to feel completely refreshed. Its gentle nature helps avoid the over-stripping that can sometimes trigger more oil production.

Will this cleanser sting my eyes?

It is formulated to be very gentle and is generally considered safe for use around the eye area. Many users report it does not sting. However, as with any product, avoid direct contact with your eyes.

What is "Phyto Mucin" from Yam Root?

Phyto Mucin is a plant-derived complex found in yam root extract. It has a unique, slightly viscous texture similar to snail mucin and is rich in amino acids. It's highly valued for its ability to deeply hydrate, soothe irritation, and strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier.
