Frequently Asked Questions

What is a water-based cleanser?

Water-based cleansers contain water as their main ingredient. They work by attracting and dissolving water-based impurities on the skin, such as sweat and dirt, which are then washed away when you rinse off the product. Foam cleansers, gel cleansers, and micellar waters are all examples of water-based cleansers.

How should I use cleansers?

You should cleanse as the first step in your skincare routine. If you are double-cleansing, use your oil-based cleanser first, and follow it up with your water-based cleanser. For more detailed instructions on how to use each cleanser, refer to our "oil-cleanser” page.

What does a cleanser do?

Cleansers remove sweat, dirt, makeup, SPF, and other impurities on the skin. This helps the active ingredients in the rest of your routine to penetrate deeper into your skin, for more effective results.
