Skin 1004 Light Cleansing Oil (200 Ml)

Oil cleansers can feel intimidating if you’ve never used one, but the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil 200ml is honestly the friendliest way to start. This is the brand’s minimalist, bestselling first-step cleanser — a watery, silky oil built on just 11 ingredients that dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup in seconds. No stinging, no greasy film, no heavy aftermath. Just clean, calm skin that feels cared for instead of scrubbed.

The formula works because of what’s in it — and what’s not. The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil features centella asiatica extract (the brand’s signature hero ingredient) alongside six plant-based oils: sunflower seed, olive fruit, jojoba, bergamot, geranium, and damask rose. Ethylhexyl stearate and cetyl ethylhexanoate carry the cleansing power, while sorbeth-30 tetraoleate helps it emulsify into a milky rinse. Non-comedogenic, sulfate-free, and designed for all skin types, especially sensitive and reactive ones. Pair it with the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser for a gentle second-step wash.

Just 11 Ingredients — A minimalist formula that’s safe for sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin with fewer triggers.
Clears Pores Gently — Jojoba seed oil and a micellar-style lift help dissolve blackheads and excess sebum without harsh scrubbing.
Key Ingredients
Here’s what powers the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil 200ml:

Centella Asiatica Extract The brand’s signature ingredient, sourced from Madagascar. Also called cica or gotu kola, centella has been studied for its soothing, wound-healing, and barrier-supporting properties. Its active compounds (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, madecassic acid) help calm redness and irritation during cleansing.

Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis) Jojoba’s structure is remarkably close to the skin’s natural sebum, which is why it balances oily and acne-prone skin instead of clogging it. It also adds vitamin E and light hydration to the cleanse.

Olive Fruit Oil (Olea Europaea) A nourishing oil rich in antioxidants and fatty acids. It softens skin while the oil cleanser does its job, helping maintain moisture levels that other cleansers often strip away.

Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus Annuus) A lightweight emollient packed with linoleic acid, which supports the skin barrier. It’s especially helpful for skin that tends to feel dry or tight after washing.

Bergamot Fruit Oil (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia) Adds a fresh, uplifting scent and brings antibacterial and skin-conditioning benefits. Worth noting: bergamot oil is a citrus-derived ingredient, so those with citrus sensitivity should patch test first.

Rose Damascena & Geranium Flower Oils A subtle floral pairing that adds an antioxidant boost and a lightly spa-like aroma. They round out the plant-oil blend without overwhelming the formula.

Ethylhexyl Stearate + Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate The emollient-surfactant duo that lets the oil glide over the skin and then emulsify into a milky texture when you add water — meaning everything rinses cleanly without residue.

Redness and sensitivity

Dull, congested skin from daily buildup
Not Recommended For
⚠️ Anyone sensitive to citrus essential oils (bergamot) or floral fragrances (rose, geranium) — patch test before full use.

⚠️ Not suitable for use around the eyes if you wear waterproof makeup with heavy glitters; emulsify carefully.

How to Use
Start With Dry Skin & Dry Hands — Do not wet your face before applying, or the oil won’t bind to makeup and SPF properly.
Dispense 2–3 Pumps — Warm in your palms, then massage gently across the face in circular motions for 30–60 seconds.
Emulsify With Water — Add a splash of lukewarm water and keep massaging until the oil turns into a milky, creamy texture.
Rinse Thoroughly — Wash off completely with lukewarm water and follow with your water-based cleanser.
Use: PM (or after sun exposure)

Where in routine: First step in a double cleanse

Pro Tip: Spend an extra 15 seconds massaging around the nose, chin, and hairline — these are the most common spots for clogged pores and leftover SPF. The oil’s micellar-like action will lift out blackheads over time without any scrubbing.
