Dealing with dullness or uneven tone left behind by past breakouts can be frustrating. This cleansing gel foam is a beginner-friendly first step to achieving a clearer, more radiant complexion without causing irritation, making it perfect for the Mauritian climate.

• Texture: A refreshing, clear gel that lathers into a soft foam.
• Key Function: Gently cleanses away impurities and excess oil while providing mild exfoliation to brighten the skin.
• Skin Feel: Leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and hydrated, not tight or stripped.
• Best For: Normal, combination, and sensitive skin types concerned with dullness, uneven skin tone, or post-acne marks.

1. Double Cleanse (PM only): If wearing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, start with an oil cleanser.
2. [THIS PRODUCT]: Squeeze a small amount, lather with water, and gently massage onto your wet face for 30-60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Follow Up: Pat skin dry and follow with your toner, serum, and moisturiser. Always use sunscreen in the AM.

Mindful Tip: Already own a gentle cleanser? Finish it first to prevent waste. This can be your next step towards a brighter routine.

A simple morning routine helps protect your skin and maintain its glow throughout the day.

• Step 1: [THIS PRODUCT] - Start with a gentle cleanse to remove overnight oil and prepare your skin.
• Step 2: Hydrating Toner (Optional) - A toner like the SKIN1004 Tone Brightening Boosting Toner can add a layer of hydration.
• Step 3: Brightening Serum - Apply a serum with Vitamin C or Niacinamide to target dark spots.
• Step 4: Sunscreen SPF 30+ - The most crucial step. Protects your skin from UV damage, which can worsen uneven tone.

Your evening routine is for deep cleansing and repair.

• Step 1: Double Cleanse - Start with an oil cleanser like the SKIN1004 Light Cleansing Oil to melt away sunscreen and makeup, then follow with [THIS PRODUCT] for a thorough clean.
• Step 2: Toner/Essence - Apply a hydrating or exfoliating toner to balance the skin.
• Step 3: Treatment Serum - Use a targeted serum for your main concerns (e.g., brightening, anti-aging).
• Step 4: Moisturiser - Lock in all the goodness with a moisturiser suited to your skin type, like the SKIN1004 Tone Brightening Capsule Cream.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face and neck.
• Frequency: Use once or twice daily (AM and/or PM).
• Method:
  1. Begin with a wet face and hands.
  2. Squeeze the gel into your palm and rub your hands together to create a soft foam.
  3. Gently massage the foam onto your face in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Double Cleansing: This is a water-based cleanser, making it the perfect second step in an evening double cleanse routine, used after an oil-based cleanser.

• Daily Use: This cleanser is gentle enough for daily use, both morning and night.
• With Actives: It pairs well with an exfoliating routine. For example:
  • Daily: Use this cleanser AM and PM.
  • 2-3 times a week (PM): Use a separate chemical exfoliant (like AHA or BHA toner) after cleansing on these nights. On other nights, focus on hydration and repair.
• Mauritius Note: In our humid climate, a thorough but gentle cleanse at the end of the day is key to removing sweat, sunscreen, and impurities without stripping the skin's moisture barrier.

• Immediately: Skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed without any tightness or dryness.
• After 2-4 weeks: You may notice a brighter, less dull complexion as the mild exfoliating ingredients gently remove dead skin cells. Skin feels consistently balanced.
• After 4-8+ weeks: With consistent use alongside a targeted routine (including sunscreen), you may see a visible improvement in the evenness of your skin tone and a reduction in the appearance of minor dark spots.

Myth: "I need a harsh, squeaky-clean feeling to know my oily/dull skin is truly clean."

Why This, Not That: That "squeaky-clean" feeling is actually a sign that your skin's protective moisture barrier has been stripped. This can lead to irritation, increased oil production, and a duller complexion over time. This low-pH (around pH 5) gel foam cleanses effectively while respecting your skin's natural acidity, leaving it balanced and hydrated. It uses gentle, fruit-derived exfoliants instead of harsh physical scrubs that can cause micro-tears and worsen pigmentation.

• Works Well With: This cleanser is compatible with almost all skincare ingredients. It's an excellent preparatory step for hydrating ingredients (Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin), brightening actives (Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin), and even stronger treatments like retinoids, as it cleanses without causing irritation.
• Use Carefully: No major conflicts. However, if your skin is extremely sensitive or your barrier is compromised, be mindful of using it immediately before a very strong, low-pH acid, as this could compound potential irritation.
• Avoid On: Do not use on broken or wounded skin. Avoid direct contact with eyes.

• Excellent For: Normal, Combination, Sensitive skin.
• Good For: Oily skin (as it cleanses without stripping), Dry skin (as a gentle, non-drying option).
• Caution: While gentle, those with extremely dry skin might prefer a cream or milk cleanser, especially during drier winter months. Individual responses to botanical extracts can vary.

• Dullness and lack of radiance
• Uneven skin tone
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (post-acne marks)
• General cleansing for sensitive skin
• Maintaining a healthy skin pH balance

• Issue: My skin feels a little tight after use.
  • Quick Fix: You might be using too much product or rinsing with water that is too hot. Use only a pea-sized amount and rinse with lukewarm water. Ensure you are following up immediately with a hydrating toner while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.
• Issue: It's not removing my waterproof mascara/heavy makeup.
  • Quick Fix: This is a water-based cleanser designed for the second step of a double cleanse. For heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, always use an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve it, then follow with this gel foam for a perfect, deep clean.
• Issue: I'm not seeing any brightening results after a week.
  • Quick Fix: Brightening is a gradual process. A cleanser's main job is to clean the skin; its brightening effects are supportive and build over several weeks of consistent use. For faster results, ensure you are using a dedicated brightening serum and, most importantly, wearing sunscreen daily.

• Humid Summers: This cleanser is perfect for our hot and humid climate. Its gel texture feels refreshing and effectively removes sweat, oil, and grime from the day without leaving the skin feeling heavy or stripped.
• Drier Winters/AC Exposure: Its low-pH, non-stripping formula is gentle enough for year-round use. If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments or find your skin gets drier in our cooler months, this cleanser will clean your skin without exacerbating dryness.

The benefits of this cleanser are primarily based on the established functions of its key ingredients.

• Centella Asiatica & Madecassoside: Numerous studies show that Centella Asiatica and its active compound Madecassoside have significant anti-inflammatory and barrier-strengthening properties, which help to soothe and protect the skin. [Independent Study]

• Low pH Formulation: The brand states this cleanser has a low pH of 5. Maintaining a low pH is supported by dermatological research, which shows it helps preserve the skin's natural acid mantle, preventing irritation and moisture loss. [Brand Test & Ingredient Rationale]

Aggregated sentiment from verified purchasers on whitelisted platforms.

"I honestly didn't expect much from this cleanser at first, but it's become a solid part of my skincare routine. The scent is light and clean—not overpowering at all. It's very gentle on the skin and can be washed very easily."

— iHerb customer review (2025-06)

"It is a good cleansing product, but does not clean mascara completely. Due to that, I ordered the cleansing oil from the same brand... these two products in combination are a winner. The gel foam cleanser is mild to my combination and sensitive skin."

— iHerb customer review (2024-12)

Fair Caveat: "Nice product, however after using it I desperately need to moisturize (more than with other cleansers)! I am also not a big fan of its (light) scent."

— European retail customer review (2023-10)

SKIN1004 (pronounced "Skin Cheon-sa," which means "Skin Angel" in Korean) is an award-winning natural skincare brand. Their core philosophy is to use high-quality, effective ingredients sourced from pristine nature. Their signature ingredient is Centella Asiatica, sourced directly from the untouched nature of Madagascar. The brand focuses on creating gentle, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic formulas that are suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.

Centella Asiatica

A medicinal herb known for its powerful soothing, calming, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to heal irritated skin and strengthen the skin barrier.

Madecassoside

One of the main active compounds found in Centella Asiatica. It is known for its skin-healing, soothing, and antioxidant benefits, as well as its ability to help with brightening.

Niacinamide

A form of Vitamin B3. It's a multi-tasking ingredient that helps to brighten skin, improve the appearance of pores, control oil, and strengthen the skin barrier.

pH (Potential of Hydrogen)

A scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of a solution. Healthy skin has a slightly acidic pH (around 4.7-5.75). A low-pH cleanser helps maintain this balance, preventing irritation and dryness.

Is this cleanser suitable for removing makeup?

It can remove light makeup, but for heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, it is best used as the second step of a double cleanse after an oil-based cleanser.

Will the fruit extracts in this cleanser irritate my sensitive skin?

The fruit extracts are included for their gentle exfoliating properties and are generally well-tolerated. However, if you have known allergies to apple, grape, papaya, or plum, or have highly reactive skin, we recommend performing a patch test first.

What does "low-pH" mean for a cleanser?

A low-pH cleanser has an acidity level close to your skin's natural state (around pH 5.5). This helps to clean your skin effectively without disrupting its protective acid mantle, which prevents moisture loss and protects against bacteria.

Can I use this if I have acne?

Yes, its gentle, low-pH formula is suitable for acne-prone skin as it cleanses without causing the irritation that can trigger more breakouts. It can also help with the dark marks left behind by acne.
