Japanese Double Cleansing Ritual · Travel Format | Essentielle

Inspired by the Japanese beauty tradition, this double-cleansing ritual turns an everyday gesture into a moment of mindful care. Three travel-sized formats bring together the essential steps to remove makeup, purify pores, and restore your skin’s natural balance, with the same effectiveness as the full ritual in a pouch that fits in any luggage.

Double cleansing involves chaining an oil phase that dissolves makeup and oil with a water-based phase that sweeps away the remaining impurities. The result is deeply cleansed skin, protected in its hydrolipid mantle, and ready to receive the rest of your routine.

A ritual in three steps

Step 1 · Total Makeup Remover — the oil that dissolves

An oil makeup remover and cleanser formulated with natural sunflower, carrot, and wheat germ oils. Applied to dry skin, it dissolves even the most stubborn waterproof makeup, including eyes and lashes. When you add a few drops of water, it emulsifies into a light fluid that cleans deeply without stripping or leaving a greasy feel.

• Removes stubborn waterproof makeup from the face, eyes, and lips.
• Nourishes and adds luminosity thanks to its richness in vitamins and antioxidants.
• Respects and strengthens the skin’s acid mantle.

Step 2 · Makeup Remover Gel — the freshness that purifies

An oil- and perfume-free cleansing gel that completes cleansing without disturbing the skin’s natural balance. Its creamy foam lifts away impurities and excess sebum, leaving skin smooth, fresh, and even. Particularly suitable for combination and oily skin that wants a long-lasting clean feel.

• Removes traces of dirt and regulates excess oil.
• Provides luminosity and a comfortable, soothing feel.
• Oil- and perfume-free formulation, gentle on skin.

Step 3 · Aqua Tonic — the comforting balance

A hydro-soothing, decongesting toner with plant-based actives that closes the ritual by toning the skin and restoring its natural pH. Its formula eases the feeling of tightness, adds an extra boost of hydration, and prepares your face for the next steps in care. Even designed for the most sensitive skin.

• Balances pH and preserves the skin’s acid mantle.
• Calms, decongests, and hydrates sensitive skin.
• Adds luminosity and an immediate sense of freshness.

Benefits of the full ritual

• Deep cleansing: removes makeup, impurities, and excess sebum in two complementary phases.

How to use

• Total Makeup Remover: apply to dry skin and massage to dissolve face, eye, and lip makeup. Emulsify with a few drops of water and remove with a cotton pad or a damp cloth.
• Makeup Remover Gel: gently massage onto damp skin with circular movements, avoiding the eye contour. Leave on for a moment and rinse with plenty of lukewarm water.
