What it is

A non-stripping cleansing milk that combines emollients and mild surfactants with hyaluronic acid and centella actives to cleanse while maintaining hydration and comfort.

Who it's for

  • Normal to dry skin seeking a gentle cleanse with hydration.
  • Combination or oily skin wanting a soft, non-foaming option that rinses clean.
  • Users who prefer a calming first or morning cleanse to avoid tightness.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Emollients and mild surfactants — dissolve and lift impurities with a soft slip.
  • Hyaluronic Acid — humectant hydration to reduce post-cleanse tightness.
  • Centella-derived soothers (e.g., Madecassoside/Asiaticoside derivatives) — help calm and comfort skin feel.
  • Panthenol and humectants (e.g., glycerin) — add moisture and support comfort.

Free-from / texture

  • Milky, lotion-like texture that massages in and rinses without a heavy film.
  • Low-foam, low-residue finish; check INCI for fragrance if sensitive.
  • Leaves skin soft and comfortable, not squeaky or tight.

How to use & order

  • On dry or slightly damp skin, massage 1–2 pumps over face and neck.
  • Add a bit of water to continue massaging, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  • For heavy makeup/sunscreen, follow with a gentle water-based cleanser.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Generally low conflict; suitable as a first or morning cleanse before actives.
  • If acne-prone, rinse thoroughly and follow with a mild second cleanse if desired.
  • Patch test if sensitive to botanical extracts or fragrance components.

Evidence & notes

  • Cleansing efficacy depends on thorough massage and rinse; use lukewarm water.
  • Hyaluronic acid and centella derivatives provide cosmetic hydration and soothing; not medical treatments.
  • Consistent use as a gentle cleanse can reduce dryness when paired with a suitable moisturizer.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
  • Avoid direct contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse well with water.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
