Quick Answer

To get clearer skin, use the Clarifying Double Cleanse Duo every evening: start with the oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then follow with the water-based cleanser to deeply clean pores and control excess oil.

Why Double Cleansing Matters

Double cleansing is a two-step method that removes both oil-based impurities (like makeup, sunscreen, and sebum) and water-based debris (like sweat and pollution). This ensures your skin is thoroughly clean without over-stripping, which is key for balancing oil and minimizing the look of pores.

The Clarifying Double Cleanse Duo is formulated to address dryness while helping to control excess oil. Using both cleansers together gives you a complete routine that preps your skin for the rest of your skincare products.

When to Double Cleanse

For best results, use the duo in the evening to remove the day's buildup. In the morning, a single cleanse with water or a gentle cleanser is usually enough to avoid over-drying.

If you wear heavy makeup or sunscreen, the oil-based cleanser is essential to break down those products before the water-based cleanser can work effectively.

Step-by-Step Double Cleanse Routine

  1. Step 1: Start with dry skin and the oil-based cleanser: Apply the oil-based cleanser to your dry face. Massage gently in circular motions for about 30–60 seconds to break down makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly. Don't skip this step if you wear SPF or makeup—water alone won't remove them.
  2. Step 2: Follow with the water-based cleanser: Wet your face with lukewarm water. Dispense a small amount of the water-based cleanser and work it into a lather. Massage over your entire face for 30–60 seconds, focusing on your T-zone and areas prone to clogged pores. Rinse well with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water—it can strip your skin and worsen dryness.
  3. Step 3: Pat dry and follow with the rest of your routine: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. Immediately apply your toner, serum, or moisturizer while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration. Don't rub your skin dry—patting prevents irritation and preserves moisture.
