SKIN1004 Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam — Nettoyant Purifiant aux Minéraux

The formula combines three complementary purifying agents for a magnetic effect on impurities.

Himalayan Pink Salt (Mineral Salts) — Rich in over 80 minerals, this unrefined salt acts like a magnet: it attracts sebum and accumulated residues (makeup, SPF, pollution) out of the pores. Unlike table salt, its crystalline structure preserves trace elements that revitalize the skin during cleansing.

Papain (Papain, 900 ppm) — A proteolytic enzyme extracted from papaya, it breaks down proteins in dead cells without mechanical friction. Its targeted action frees the skin texture from roughness, leaving a smooth surface receptive to subsequent treatments.

Kaolin (CI 77004) — Natural white clay with high absorption capacity. It captures excess sebum and surface toxins, then holds them until rinsing, without dehydrating the deeper layers.

Centella Asiatica Extract (2,140 ppm) — Native to the highlands of Madagascar, it contains madecassoside and asiaticoside, two triterpenes that reduce post-cleansing inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier. Result: zero tightness, even on reactive skin.

☀️ Morning routine

1. On damp face, place a small amount of product in your palms and rub to create a creamy foam.
2. Massage the face in circular motions, focusing on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) if it is oily.
3. Rinse with lukewarm water, then finish with a splash of cool water to tighten pores.
4. Pat dry (do not rub) and follow with a toner.

🌙 Evening routine

1. Use it as the second step in double cleansing, after an oil or cleansing balm.
2. Apply a small amount, lather, and massage for 30 seconds to remove SPF and sebum residues.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
4. If you use exfoliating actives (AHA, BHA, retinol), wait 5 minutes before applying them to avoid stinging.

This purifying foam is intended for the following skin types:

• Combination to oily skin that shines by noon and is looking for a cleanser that can absorb sebum without rebound effect.
• Enlarged or congested pores — if you notice stubborn blackheads or pores that fill up quickly, the salt-clay-enzyme synergy makes a difference.
• Sensitive skin prone to redness — Centella soothes inflammation while minerals cleanse, avoiding the stripping effect of sulfates.
• Fans of K-beauty layering who wear multiple layers (SPF, foundation, primer) and need an effective second cleanse without drying out.
• Dull complexion or uneven texture — papain gradually smooths the skin’s surface, revealing a more even glow.

Avoid if: you have very dry or dehydrated skin (prefer a cream cleanser instead), or if you are allergic to papaya enzymes.

The first signs appear right after showering: the face is clean, soft, never tight. After two weeks of use morning and evening, pores appear refined and blackheads become less frequent — the papain having gradually dissolved the keratin plugs.

After four weeks, the skin texture becomes clearer: irregularities fade, radiance stabilizes, and the complexion stays matte longer throughout the day thanks to sebum regulation by kaolin.

Post-cleansing redness also decreases, a sign that Centella has strengthened the barrier and reduced inflammation. The result: a clean, balanced canvas, ready to absorb your serums without resistance.

Is the texture really "sticky" as some say?

Yes, the product has a dense creamy consistency, almost pasty, that stretches into a thread before foaming. This is intentional: this texture adheres to impurities (like a magnet) before washing them away. Once emulsified with water, it becomes a rich and creamy foam.

Can it be used alone or is double cleansing necessary?

In the evening, it is more effective as a second step after an oil or balm, especially if you wear waterproof makeup or a thick SPF. In the morning, it alone is enough to remove overnight sebum and night cream residues.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin despite the presence of enzymes and salts?

Yes, the papain concentration (900 ppm) is moderate and the Centella (2,140 ppm) balances the exfoliating action with its anti-inflammatory effect. Sensitive users report few irritations, provided they do not rub too hard and rinse with lukewarm, not hot, water.

What is the difference with the Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam from the same brand?

The Ampoule Foam is pH 5, ultra-gentle, formulated for very sensitive or dry skin, with a light foam based on coconut-derived surfactants. The Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam targets pores and sebum thanks to salt, kaolin, and papain: it cleanses more deeply, ideal for combination to oily skin.

How long does a 125 ml tube last?

A small amount is enough per use. With daily use (morning and evening), the tube lasts about 2 to 3 months, depending on the amount taken and the size of your hands.

Does the product have a fragrance?

No, it contains neither artificial fragrance nor colorant. Some users perceive a slight mineral scent (the salt) or herbal (the natural rosemary in the formula), which disappears upon rinsing.

SKIN1004 is a South Korean brand founded on a poetic play on words: in Korean, "1004" (천사, cheon-sa) is pronounced like "angel." The idea? To be the guardian angel of your skin, protecting it with minimalist formulas and pure ingredients.

The entire Madagascar Centella range is based on ethical sourcing: Centella Asiatica is handpicked in the highlands of Madagascar, following GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices) standards. This protocol ensures the purity of active ingredients, soil preservation, and fair working conditions for the harvesters.

The Poremizing (pink) line was launched to meet the specific needs of skin with enlarged pores and excess sebum. Enriched with Himalayan pink salt, it embodies the SKIN1004 promise: combining natural minerals and dermatological science for visible results, without compromising tolerance.
