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.
