Cathy Doll AC Mousse Cleanser 150ml

Most cleansers for oily skin work by stripping. They get the shine off and take the comfort with it: that squeaky, tight feeling ten minutes after you rinse. This one is built to remove the oil without that trade.

THE CLEANSE
About 10% of the formula is cleansing agents, all from the mild, coconut-derived amphoteric family (lauryl betaine, lauryl hydroxysultaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate). They bind to oil, sunscreen and the grime that settles on skin through a day of air conditioning and traffic, then carry it off in the rinse. No SLS, no SLES. The pump whips the liquid into a mousse on the way out, so the foam lands on the brush already lathered and you are never rubbing concentrated cleanser into your face to work it up.

THE COMFORT
Glycerin at 20%. Most foaming cleansers sit between 2 and 5%. Glycerin is a humectant: it holds water against the skin while the surfactants do their job, so the foam takes the oil and leaves the moisture behind. That is the whole reason skin feels clean and soft afterwards instead of tight.

THE BRUSH
Soft silicone bristles built into the pump head. Thirty to sixty seconds of small, light circles lifts dead surface cells and loosens the oil packed into pores around the nose and chin. Pores look clearer once they are empty; that is where the "minimizes the look of pores" effect comes from. Silicone does not absorb water, so the head rinses clean and dries in minutes between washes.

THE SIGNATURE BLEND
Salicylic acid, cica, witch hazel, tea tree and chamomile, each at accent levels. Honest framing: they are the AC Series signature, not the reason the cleanser works, and none of them is dosed to treat anything. A cleanser rinses off in under a minute. If you want a leave-on BHA step, that is a separate product (the AC Pad BHA), and it comes after this one.

THE FINE PRINT
8-free: no SLS, SLES, alcohol, parabens, colorants, artificial fragrance, mineral oil or AHA. The formula is clear and colorless; the red is the bottle. Dermatologically tested.

✓ Removes excess oil, sunscreen and grime with a sulfate-free foam (about 10% mild coconut-derived cleansers)

✓ Silicone brush head adds a light physical exfoliation and lifts the oil sitting in pores
✓ Pores look clearer and less noticeable once the oil is out of them
✓ 8-free: no SLS, SLES, alcohol, parabens, colorants, artificial fragrance, mineral oil or AHA
✓ Dermatologically tested

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water. Warm water loosens oil; hot water strips it and takes moisture with it.
2. Pump once or twice straight onto the brush head. The foam arrives ready, no lathering needed.
3. Massage in small circles for 30 to 60 seconds with a light hand. Give the nose, chin and hairline the extra time; that is where oil collects. Pressing harder does not clean deeper, it just leaves skin red.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water until no foam remains.
5. Rinse the brush head and stand the bottle upright to dry.
6. Use morning and night. If skin ever feels dry, keep the evening wash and drop the morning one.

Caution: for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if it occurs. Stop use and seek medical advice if irritation or any abnormality appears. Not for children under 3 years.
