🧬 Key ingredients
Centella Asiatica Extract
A defining ingredient of the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella product line. In the cleanser formula, it supports a more comfortable and balanced skin feel alongside cleansing.
Sodium Hyaluronate
A water-binding form of hyaluronic acid that helps support skin hydration and reduce tightness after cleansing.
Citric Acid
A fruit-derived AHA which, according to SKIN1004, helps gently remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother skin surface appearance. As this is a rinse-off formula, it should not be regarded as an intensive acid exfoliant.
Sodium Bicarbonate
A fine-grained cleansing ingredient that helps loosen excess sebum and impurities accumulated on the skin surface.
🎯 Who is it recommended for?
Particularly suitable for:
- normal skin,
- skin prone to sensitivity,
- those looking for a foaming but not strongly drying facial cleanser,
- combination skin when thorough yet comfortable cleansing is important,
- those who want a low pH cleanser in their daily routine.
🧴 How to use
Wet your face and palms, then foam an appropriate amount between your hands.
Gently massage the foam over your face, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Can also be used as the second step of double cleansing after an oil-based cleanser in the evening.
💗 Why do we love it?
Because compared to other foaming cleansers, it balances thorough cleansing and comfortable skin feel well. Due to its low pH, coconut-derived cleansing ingredients and centella, it is not a classic “squeaky clean” foaming cleanser.
The creamy paste transforms into a rich, fine foam with little water, so a small amount is sufficient for daily cleansing.
❓ Q&A
What is its pH?
According to SKIN1004, the formula’s pH is 5, making it a mildly acidic facial cleanser close to the skin’s natural pH.
Can it be used daily?
Yes. The manufacturer recommends it as a daily foaming cleanser, suitable for both morning and evening routines.
Does it dry out the skin?
The formula is specifically designed to provide thorough cleansing without leaving a strongly dry or tight feeling. Of course, individual comfort is decisive for very dry skin.
Is it an exfoliating cleanser because of the citric acid?
It has a mild exfoliating property but is a rinse-off, daily facial cleanser rather than a targeted acid exfoliant. Therefore, it does not need to be treated like a high concentration AHA product.
Does it remove sunscreen and makeup?
The manufacturer mentions removal of impurities and makeup. For long-lasting sunscreen or heavier makeup, we recommend double cleansing: first an oil-based cleanser, then this foaming cleanser.

Féltem az arctisztító habtól, mert negatív tapasztalatom volt korábban (nem koreai márka). De több ajánlás és pozitív vélemény hatására megrendeltem. Az első használat előtt bőrtesztet végeztem, majd a használati utasítás szerint vittem fel az arcomra az arctisztító olaj után, ami szintén ez a márka. Kevés kell belőle, könnyen habosodik, a tisztítást masszírozással segítettem, majd vízzel öblítettem le. A két arctisztító együtt nagyon jól működik. A bőröm tipizálás előtt feszes, puha, selymes lett. Bár az illata nem a legjobb, de ez semmit nem von le az értékéből, és amúgy is hamar elillan.
