SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil

Begin with dry hands and a dry face. Dispense a few pumps of cleansing oil and gently massage it over the skin using circular motions to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum and daily impurities.

Add a small amount of water and continue massaging until the oil transforms into a light, milky emulsion. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

For a double-cleansing routine, follow with a water-based cleanser.

VELLORA TIP

Don’t rush the emulsifying step. Once water is added, continue massaging until the oil turns evenly milky—this helps it rinse away cleanly. Pay particular attention to areas where sunscreen and makeup tend to remain, such as around the nose, hairline and jawline.

Despite being an oil cleanser, the formula does not have a thick or heavy consistency. It has a lightweight, water-like texture that spreads easily across dry skin, allowing you to massage the face without unnecessary rubbing.

The oil has a naturally light-brown appearance. When a small amount of water is added, it turns into a soft, milky emulsion. This change is important because it allows the dissolved makeup, sunscreen, sebum and impurities to be rinsed away with water.

After rinsing, the skin should feel clean, refreshed and comfortable, without the heavy, oily residue some traditional cleansing oils can leave behind.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Before adding water: a lightweight and fluid oil

• While massaging: smooth glide that helps dissolve oil-based impurities

• After adding water: a light, milky emulsion

• After rinsing: a fresh, clean and non-greasy finish

VELLORA EXPLAINS

Oil attracts oil. This is why an oil cleanser is particularly useful for removing sunscreen, makeup and excess sebum—things that water alone may not remove as easily. Adding water afterwards turns the cleanser milky so everything can be rinsed away. It cleans with oil, but it is not designed to leave your face covered in oil.

WHAT’S INSIDE & WHY

This cleansing oil combines a lightweight oil-based cleansing system with Madagascar Centella Asiatica extract and six plant-derived oils. Each part of the formula has a different purpose: some ingredients dissolve makeup and sunscreen, some allow the oil to rinse away with water, and others help the skin feel comfortable after cleansing.

THE CLEANSING BASE

Ethylhexyl Stearate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride form the lightweight oil base. They help dissolve oil-based residue such as makeup, sunscreen and excess sebum while giving the product its smooth glide.

Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate is the emulsifier. In simple terms, it helps the oil mix with water. This is what allows the cleanser to turn milky and rinse away instead of remaining on the skin.

CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT

The signature ingredient of the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella range. It is included to support a soothing and comfortable cleansing experience.

SIX PLANT-DERIVED OILS

• Bergamot Fruit Oil: contributes to the botanical oil blend and the product’s natural aromatic character

• Sunflower Seed Oil: an emollient oil that helps condition and soften the skin

• Olive Fruit Oil: helps dissolve oil-based impurities while supporting a comfortable skin feel

• Jojoba Seed Oil: a lightweight emollient that helps the cleanser glide smoothly

• Geranium Flower Oil: part of the botanical oil blend and contributes to the product’s scent

• Rose Flower Oil: adds emollient properties and contributes to the aromatic profile

SUPPORTING INGREDIENTS

Ethylhexylglycerin works as a skin-conditioning ingredient and also helps support the formula’s preservation system.

Limonene and Linalool are fragrance components naturally associated with aromatic plant oils. Customers with very fragrance-sensitive or reactive skin may prefer to patch test before facial use.

VELLORA EXPLAINS

The ingredients near the beginning of a formula normally make up its main base. In this product, the first ingredients create the cleansing oil itself—they are responsible for breaking down makeup, sunscreen and sebum. Centella and the botanical oils complement that base, but this is primarily a rinse-off cleansing product, not a leave-on treatment.

Ingredient lists may be updated by the manufacturer. Always check the packaging received for the most current information.

IS THIS CLEANSING OIL FOR ME?

This cleansing oil may be a good choice if you want an easy first step for removing makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum and oil-based impurities before continuing with the rest of your skincare routine.

SKIN1004 recommends it for normal, dry and combination skin. Its lightweight, water-like consistency also makes it approachable for anyone trying an oil cleanser for the first time.

IT MAY BE FOR YOU IF:

• You wear sunscreen or makeup regularly

• You want to begin a double-cleansing routine

• You prefer a fluid oil rather than a thick or heavy balm

• Your skin feels uncomfortable after strongly foaming cleansers

• You want a cleanser that emulsifies and rinses without a heavy, greasy finish

• You have normal, dry or combination skin

YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER ANOTHER OPTION IF:

• You know your skin reacts to essential oils or fragranced botanical ingredients

• You prefer completely fragrance-free skincare

• You are looking for a single water-based cleanser rather than the first step of a double cleanse

The formula contains bergamot, geranium and rose oils, as well as the fragrance components limonene and linalool. If your skin is particularly reactive or unfamiliar with these ingredients, patch testing is a sensible precaution.

VELLORA EXPLAINS

Using a cleansing oil does not automatically make the skin oilier. Its purpose is to dissolve substances that are also oil-based, including sebum, makeup and many sunscreens. The important step is adding water until the oil turns milky and then rinsing thoroughly.

This is a cleanser, not a treatment serum. It stays on the skin briefly and is washed away. Its main job is to remove the day’s buildup and prepare the skin for the products that follow.

WHAT DOES “FIRST CLEANSE” MEAN?

The first cleanse removes oil-based buildup from the skin, including makeup, sunscreen and excess sebum. If you are double cleansing, this oil is used first and followed by a water-based cleanser.

This does not mean you must wash your face repeatedly. The two cleansers perform different jobs: the oil cleanser dissolves oil-based residue, while the second cleanser removes the remaining water-based impurities.

VELLORA EXPLAINS

Because the bottle contains a cleansing oil, it should be applied with dry hands to a dry face. Water is introduced only after the massage step. If the product is applied to wet skin immediately, the oil begins emulsifying before it has had enough contact time to dissolve makeup, sunscreen and sebum.

The ingredient list or packaging may be updated by the manufacturer. Always refer to the information printed on the product you receive for the most current directions, warnings and period after opening.
