Visual Guide
How to Use
Squeeze a small amount of cleanser into your hands and add water to create foam.
Gently massage the foam onto your face in circular motions for 30 seconds to 1 minute, paying extra attention to the T-zone and any dirty areas.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
Avoid
- Do not use hot water — this product contains acids, and hot water strips the protective sebum film, worsens dryness, and amplifies irritation
- Do not scrub aggressively with harsh tools, especially if you have sensitive or thin skin
- Not designed to remove heavy waterproof makeup or sunscreen — use a dedicated makeup remover or oil cleanser first for double cleansing

Concerns
Use Cases
Use with Caution If
Day 1–3
Skin feels deeply clean but not tight.
Day 4–7
Noticeable reduction in excess surface oil during the day.
Day 7–14
Pores appear clearer and less congested.
When to Worry
Skin feels extremely tight, "squeaky", painfully dry, or flaky.
Mistake
Washing with hot water
Why It's Bad
Hot water strips the skin's protective sebum film, causing tightness and dryness. Over time, it triggers more oil production (oily outside, dry inside). Since this cleanser contains acids, hot water also amplifies the irritation and stinging.
Do Instead
Always use lukewarm water.
Mistake
Using rough tools on sensitive skin
Why It's Bad
Harsh scrubbing tools on thin or sensitive skin cause micro-tears and irritation.
Do Instead
Use fingertips for sensitive skin. For oily/thicker skin, a soft silicone pad is fine. Pat dry with a soft towel or air dry — avoid rubbing with rough towels.
#1Mild tightness or tingling after washing
This can happen in the first few uses with an acid-containing cleanser. If it settles quickly, you can continue, but assess your skin and reduce to once daily or add more hydration if needed.
#2Persistent dryness, flaking, or stinging that does not subside
Your skin may be too sensitive for this cleanser. Stop use and switch to a gentler option. Consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.
