An ultra-gentle, low-pH foaming cleanser that purifies skin of dirt and excess oils without stripping its natural moisture. Formulated with a high concentration of soothing Centella Asiatica from Madagascar, this ampoule-in-a-foam is perfect for calming sensitive and acne-prone skin in Mauritius's warm and humid climate, leaving it feeling clean, soft, and balanced.

Dealing with skin that's easily irritated or prone to breakouts can be frustrating. This cleanser is designed to be your first step towards calmer, clearer skin.

• Product Type: Foaming Cleanser (Travel Size)
• Key Benefit: Gently cleanses while intensely soothing irritation and redness.
• Who It's For: Ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, oily, and combination skin types. Its gentle, non-stripping formula also makes it suitable for normal and dry skin.
• Main Ingredient: High-concentration Centella Asiatica Extract to calm and repair the skin.
• Texture: A rich, creamy paste that lathers into a dense, soft foam.
• Scent: Fragrance-free, with a very faint, natural scent from its ingredients.
• pH Level: Approximately 5, a healthy low pH to protect the skin's natural barrier.

1. Cleanser (THIS PRODUCT): Squeeze a pea-sized amount, lather with water, and gently massage onto your face for 60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
2. Hydrate/Treat: While skin is still slightly damp, apply your chosen toner or serum.
3. Protect: Finish with a moisturiser to lock in hydration (PM) or a sunscreen with SPF 30+ (AM).

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

• Minimalist (2 steps): 1) THIS PRODUCT → 2) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional Additions: If you have time or specific concerns, you can add steps between cleansing and sunscreen.
  • Hydrating Toner/Essence: To add a layer of moisture.
  • Targeted Serum (e.g., Vitamin C): For antioxidant protection and brightening.
  • Moisturiser: Only if your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough for your skin.

• Minimalist (2 steps): 1) THIS PRODUCT → 2) Moisturiser
• For Makeup/Sunscreen Wearers (Double Cleanse):
  1. Oil Cleanser: Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.
  2. THIS PRODUCT: Follow with this foam cleanser to wash away any remaining residue.
  3. Moisturiser: Finish by applying a moisturiser to lock in hydration overnight.
• Optional Additions: You can add a targeted serum or treatment after cleansing and before your moisturiser.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face.
• Method: Wet your hands and face. Squeeze the product into your palm and lather it into a rich foam. Gently massage the foam onto your face in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use once or twice daily.

Double Cleansing (PM Routine):

• If you wear makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, use this foam as the second step after an oil-based cleanser. The oil cleanser breaks down oil-based impurities, and this foam wash cleanses the skin.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear. Keep out of reach of children.

• Immediately: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable, without any tightness or stripping. Redness may appear slightly calmer.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in skin sensitivity and inflammation. The skin's moisture barrier feels more balanced and resilient.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin appears calmer overall, with fewer instances of irritation. The healthy, low-pH environment can contribute to a reduction in breakouts for some users.

• Why this, not a harsh, "squeaky-clean" soap? That tight, squeaky feeling is a sign that your skin's protective barrier has been stripped of its natural oils. This can lead to dehydration, increased sensitivity, and even cause your skin to produce more oil to compensate, worsening acne. A low-pH cleanser like this one respects your skin's natural acidity, cleansing effectively while keeping the barrier healthy and intact.

As a rinse-off cleanser, the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients. It creates a clean and calm base, preparing your skin to effectively absorb the toners, serums, and moisturisers that follow.

• Excellent For: Sensitive, Acne-Prone, Oily, Combination Skin.
• Good For: Normal and Dry Skin, as its non-stripping formula cleanses without causing further dryness.
• Caution: No major cautions. It is formulated for sensitivity, but as with any new product, a patch test is always recommended.

Key Actives Explained:

It helps to reduce redness, repair a damaged skin barrier, and promote healing, making it ideal for sensitive and troubled skin.
• Gentle Surfactants (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, etc.): A blend of mild, coconut-derived cleansing agents that create a rich, creamy foam. They effectively remove impurities without stripping the skin's natural oils, leaving it feeling soft and comfortable.
• Glycerin & Sodium Hyaluronate: Powerful humectants that draw moisture into the skin, ensuring that the cleansing process doesn't lead to dehydration. They help maintain a plump, hydrated feel post-cleanse.

Full INCI List:

Centella Asiatica Extract, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Glycerin, Water, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Coco-Betaine, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Cocoate, Potassium Benzoate, Polyquaternium-67, Citric Acid, Dextrin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Acetate, Butylene Glycol, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract.

• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.

This product is formulated for sensitive skin, but we always recommend a patch test before first use.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the cleanser to a discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Lather, rinse, and pat dry as you would on your face.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
4. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs.

Teens & Tweens: This is an excellent gentle cleanser for teenagers and tweens experiencing breakouts or oiliness, as it effectively cleanses without being harsh or stripping the skin barrier.

• Texture & Finish: Starts as a thick, rich cream paste. When mixed with water, it transforms into a dense, soft, and abundant foam. After rinsing, skin feels clean, fresh, and soft, with no residue or tightness.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Approximately 5. This low pH is close to the skin's natural acidity, which helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier and microbiome.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula contains Butylene Glycol, which may be a potential trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. However, as it is a rinse-off product, the risk is minimal. Responses vary, so patch testing is advised if you are highly prone to fungal acne.

• Issue: My skin feels a little tight after cleansing.
  Quick Fix: You may be using too much product or rinsing with water that is too hot. Use only a pea-sized amount and ensure you are using lukewarm, not hot, water. Follow up immediately with a hydrating toner while your skin is still damp.
• Issue: It doesn't remove all of my waterproof makeup.
  Quick Fix: This is a water-based cleanser. For heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, it's best to use it as the second step in a double-cleanse routine, after an oil-based cleanser like the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil.

This cleanser is perfectly suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: It effectively removes sweat, excess oil, and impurities caused by humidity without over-drying the skin, helping to prevent clogged pores and breakouts.
• Drier Winters / AC Exposure: Its gentle, low-pH formula ensures that it won't strip the skin's moisture barrier, which can be compromised by drier air or constant exposure to air conditioning.
• Post-Sun Exposure: The high concentration of Centella Asiatica makes it an excellent choice for cleansing and calming skin that has been exposed to the sun, helping to reduce redness and irritation.

• Ingredient Rationale: The product's claims for soothing and calming the skin are based on extensive independent scientific research into the properties of Centella Asiatica. Studies have shown its active compounds (asiaticoside, madecassoside) promote fibroblast proliferation, increase collagen synthesis, and inhibit the inflammatory phase in wound healing.
• Ingredient Rationale: The benefit of maintaining a healthy skin barrier is supported by dermatological research confirming that cleansers with a low pH (around 5.5) are less disruptive to the skin's natural acid mantle and lipid structure compared to high-pH (alkaline) soaps.

• Size: 20ml / 0.67 fl. oz. (Travel/Trial Size)
• Estimated Uses: A pea-sized amount (approx. 0.5ml) is needed per wash. This 20ml tube should provide approximately 40 uses.
• Reorder Cadence: If used once daily, this tube will last about 5-6 weeks. If used twice daily, it will last about 3 weeks. It's the perfect size to trial the product before committing to the full size or for travel.

Anecdote/Aggregated Sentiment. Please note individual results may vary.

"I have an oily acne prone skin and it is very sensitive, this cleanser is one of the best cleansers I have ever tried. it is so gentle and It did not irritate my skin or cause any more acne like other cleansers did, it doesn't have any smell, and I use it daily at night, it is definitely my new favorite one."

— iHerb customer review (2025-02)

"This ampoule foam cleanser leaves your skin feeling moisturized long after washing. The pH is well-balanced, so it doesn't sting your eyes! I'd highly recommend this to those with super sensitive skin!"

— Hwahae review (2025-09)

A user with sensitive skin and rosacea praised it, saying it "calms my skin and is a nice creamy gentle cleanser. It does not make my skin freak out."

— Paraphrased from iHerb customer review (2025-01)

Fair Caveat: One user noted that while it's a great gentle cleanser, it may not be strong enough on its own for heavy makeup. They mentioned, "Being a mild acidic foam, it's a bit lacking when it comes to removing heavy makeup at night." This reinforces the benefit of using it in a double-cleanse routine for makeup removal.
