SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
SKIN1004's cleansing oil, carrying the same Madagascan-sourced centella framing as the ampoule that made the brand. The word Light in the name is accurate — it is one of the thinner cleansing oils on the market, closer to a fluid than an oil, and it emulsifies almost immediately. Centella in a rinse-off product is a mild gesture rather than a treatment, but the base itself is well made and unfussy.
What it is built around
Who it suits
Sensitive and blemish-prone skin that wants the double-cleanse step without a rich texture sitting on the face. Good for oily and combination skin, and a reasonable choice for people new to oil cleansing who are nervous about congestion. If you wear heavy or waterproof makeup, a proper balm removes it more completely in one pass.
How to use it
Two pumps onto dry skin, massage for thirty to sixty seconds, add water to emulsify and rinse. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser. PM only. Because it is so light, most people find they need a touch more product than with a balm — using too little is the usual reason it seems not to work.

🙋 People also ask
What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing is a two-step Korean method: first an oil-based cleanser dissolves makeup, sunscreen and sebum, then a water-based cleanser removes sweat and water-soluble debris. The pairing aims to clean thoroughly without the tightness or stripping that one harsh wash can cause.
What is cica or centella in skincare?
Cica is short for Centella asiatica, a plant also called tiger grass and widely used in Korean skincare to soothe the look of redness and support a comfortable, resilient barrier. It's a go-to for sensitive, stressed or breakout-prone skin in calming creams and serums.
