Last updated: 2024-05-20 • Changelog: Added FAQ, usage order, safety notes.

What it is

A micro-bubbling daily cleanser that transforms from cream to dense foam, helping remove sunscreen, light makeup, and debris without stripping.

Who it's for

  • Normal, combination, or slightly oily skin types needing a balanced foam cleanse.
  • Those wanting a non-squeaky finish after sunscreen removal.
  • Users who double cleanse and want a gentle second step.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Glycerin — humectant to maintain moisture while cleansing.
  • Coco- and amino-derived surfactants — create a fine, cushiony foam with lower stripping potential.
  • Hydrogenated Lecithin — helps with a soft, conditioned after-feel.

Free-from / texture

  • Sulfate-free formula.
  • Dense micro-foam with a smooth, cushiony feel.
  • Rinses clean without a waxy film.

How to use & order

  • Use as a water-based cleanse on damp skin (second cleanse after oil/balm if you wear makeup/SPF).
  • Apply a pea-sized amount, lather with water to create micro-foam, massage for ~30 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.
  • Follow with hydrating toner/serum while skin is still slightly damp.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Pair with gentle, non-stripping routines if using strong actives (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs).
  • Avoid over-cleansing; limit to twice daily or reduce if skin feels tight.
  • Rinse thoroughly before applying leave-on actives to avoid dilution or residue.

Evidence & notes

  • Sulfate-free, amino-based surfactants can cleanse effectively with lower irritation potential than harsher surfactants.
  • Balanced pH formulas support barrier comfort versus high-alkaline cleansers.
  • Micro-foam texture aids distribution while reducing the need for vigorous rubbing.

Safety

  • For external use only; avoid direct contact with eyes. Rinse immediately if contact occurs.
  • Patch test if prone to sensitivity with foaming cleansers.
  • Discontinue if redness, burning, or tightness persists.
  • If under dermatologic care, follow your clinician’s guidance on cleansing frequency.

FAQ

Q. Can I use this as both first and second cleanse?

A. It is best as a water-based second cleanse. For makeup or heavy sunscreen, use an oil/balm first, then this.

Q. Is it drying for combination or sensitive skin?

A. It lathers but is formulated to be low-stripping. Start with a pea-sized amount, add water to foam, and rinse promptly.

Q. What is the ideal pH for this cleanser?

A. It is designed to be mildly acidic/skin-friendly; if you are extremely sensitive, patch test and monitor tightness.
