SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil - 200ml

A cleansing oil is an oil-based cleanser designed to dissolve oil-soluble impurities like makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Unlike regular, water-based cleansers, which primarily clean water-soluble dirt, oil cleansers work on the principle that 'like dissolves like,' making them highly effective for the first step of a double cleanse.

Double cleansing is highly recommended, especially if you wear makeup, sunscreen, or have oily skin. The cleansing oil removes oil-based impurities, and a subsequent water-based cleanser ensures removal of any remaining water-based grime, sweat, and residue, leaving your skin thoroughly clean.

Yes, it is often beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. Oil cleansers can help dissolve excess sebum and clean out pores without stripping the skin, which can sometimes trigger more oil production. The 'light' formula and Centella infusion also make it less likely to cause congestion or irritation.

While primarily used in the evening to remove daily buildup, you can certainly use it in the morning if you feel your skin needs it, for example, to remove overnight treatments or excess oil. However, many prefer a lighter water-based cleanse in the morning.

Info needed: [Please refer to the product packaging or official product page for exact ingredient lists regarding fragrance and essential oils. Generally, products focused on 'light' and 'Centella' are often formulated with sensitivity in mind.]

With typical usage of 2-3 pumps per evening, a 200ml bottle can last approximately 2-4 months, depending on frequency of use and the amount dispensed per cleansing.

This often occurs if the oil hasn't been fully emulsified or rinsed. Ensure you add a small amount of water to your face after massaging the oil and continue massaging until it turns completely milky before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. You may also need to rinse for a longer duration.

Apply a bit more oil and gently massage for a longer period (up to 60 seconds), focusing on makeup-heavy areas. For very stubborn waterproof makeup, you might need to gently rub with a cotton pad saturated with the cleansing oil before the full face cleanse, or follow up with a targeted eye makeup remover, and always complete with a second water-based cleanse.

While uncommon for this product due to its light, gentle nature, ensure you are not over-massaging or using excessively hot water. Follow immediately with a hydrating water-based cleanser (if double cleansing) and your regular moisturizing routine. If dryness persists, consult a dermatologist.

Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs. While formulated for sensitivity, individual reactions vary. Review your full routine for other potential irritants. If the issue persists, seek professional dermatological advice.
