A thoroughly traditional saponified foam cleanser upgraded with a brightening complex. It utilizes a heavy matrix of Myristic, Stearic, and Lauric acids neutralized by Potassium Hydroxide to create a massive, shaving-cream style lather that obliterates heavy oils. It features Ascorbyl Glucoside and pure Tea Tree Oil to simultaneously attack bacteria and dullness. While excellent for robust, hyper-oily skin, the alkaline pH will temporarily breach delicate acidic moisture mantles.
A highly advanced, lightweight cleansing oil. By utilizing elite micro-emulsifiers like PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, the oil bonds instantly to heavy cosmetic polymers and completely liquefies them. Upon contact with water, the entire matrix turns milky white and rinses away without leaving a suffocating greasy film. The inclusion of Prebiotics ensures the skin flora is undisturbed during the heavy cleansing phase safely.
A massive everyday acne clearing favorite across Malaysia, celebrated for its unique ability to deep-clean pores without triggering tight pulling. Skintific masterfully structures this formula at a skin-friendly physiological pH of 5.5, deploying ultra-mild amino acid surfactants (Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate) instead of harsh foaming sulfates. Packed with a clinical **2% Salicylic Acid (BHA)** payload, it easily penetrates past thick surface sebum sheets to liquefy hardened oil plugs and comedones locally. Because it is re-fortified with **5X Ceramides** and Centella, it maintains lipid barrier stability flawlessly while clearing acne pathways cleanly.
The absolute undisputed baseline king of first-step cleansing across Malaysia. Garnier structures this formula as a hyper-minimalist micellar solution containing exactly 7 complete ingredients. It relies on non-ionic surfactants (Poloxamer 184) which assemble into tiny microscopic spheres called micelles. These micelles behave like a soft magnet, trapping external sebum and oily cosmetics inside their lipophilic cores while keeping the exterior water barrier untouched. Because it skips drying alcohol and synthetic perfumes entirely, it removes surface grease smoothly without triggering active redness cycles or neuro-stinging indicators on sensitive barriers.
The absolute brute-force drugstore weapon against fungal acne and body congestion across Malaysia. Unlike gentle low-pH modern gels, Safeguard utilizes a traditional high-pH saponified soap base (Sodium Palmate) packed with raw elemental Sulfur. This alkaline environment combined with sulfur provides an incredibly powerful keratolytic and antifungal action—shredding the lipid food sources of Malassezia yeast and flattening active backne pustules within days. However, because its pH sits near 9.5, it is intensely stripping. If used full-face daily without an extreme ceramide repair routine, it will completely denature your stratum corneum lipids and induce severe tightness.
The traditional foaming counterpart to the popular Prebiotic Gel Cleanser. Unlike the sulfate-free gel, this foam uses an alkaline saponified base of Myristic and Stearic acids to produce a structured, cushiony lather. While it delivers the beloved prebiotic saccharides and fermented rice water to feed beneficial bacteria, the physical wash vehicle is highly purifying and is best suited for combination to oily skin maps needing thorough grease clearing safely.
A highly functional and deeply restorative micellar liquid. It relies on a gentle but highly effective blend of PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides to encapsulate and lift heavy makeup without stripping native lipids. By saturating the formula with 5 distinct Ceramides and Niacinamide, it patches micro-tears in the moisture mantle immediately during the wiping phase safely.
An incredibly gentle, sulfate-free gel cleanser. Unlike the Foam or Deep Cleansing versions in the Aiken line, this formula entirely bypasses alkaline soaps. It relies on extremely mild amino-acid surfactants (Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate) and a massive Glycerin base to melt away surface impurities without stripping the delicate acid mantle. It is the absolute optimal choice for broken or compromised barriers.
The absolute gold-standard definition of double-cleansing compliance across Malaysia. Skinmade engineered this pure oil wash explicitly to solve the heavy, pore-clogging drawbacks of old mineral oil formulas. It structures the solvent system around lightweight, non-comedogenic Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil paired with bio-compatible Squalane. It breaks the lipophilic polymer bonds of waterproof sports SPFs and matte foundations effortlessly upon contact. Driven by PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, it reacts instantly with tap water to turn into a milky fluid that washes off completely bare. The physical texture is an ultra-fluid, light golden oil with a slippery cushion glide, dropping rubbing friction flat.
A remarkably elegant, low-foaming gel wash that abandons harsh industrial sulfates. Skinmade utilizes gentle, vegetable-based Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine to lift away daytime grime without tearing apart the structural acid mantle. It incorporates stable Vitamin C (Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) to provide an antioxidant boost during the wash. However, sensitive users must proceed with caution: the formula is heavily loaded with four different types of Citrus essential oils (Orange, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Lemon), making it highly fragrant and potentially irritating to reactive nerve networks.
The absolute benchmark definition of a clean, non-stripping daily gel wash across Malaysia. Simple structures this iconic formula around a minimalist 10-ingredient INCI string, bypassing harsh sulfates, saponified soap salts, and synthetic perfumes entirely. It deploys an ultra-mild amphoteric surfactant (Cocamidopropyl Betaine) wrapped inside a rich hydrating glycol matrix. This configuration cleanses surface impurities efficiently without leaching away the critical protective lipids of the stratum corneum. The physical texture is a beautifully crystal-clear, bouncy hydro-gel that lathers into a light, low-friction bubbly wash, rinsing away flat to leave a touch-soft, perfectly hydrated baseline.
A thoroughly traditional saponified foam cleanser upgraded with a modern prebiotic complex. It utilizes a heavy matrix of Stearic, Myristic, and Lauric acids neutralized by Potassium Hydroxide to create a massive, shaving-cream style lather that obliterates heavy oils. It features Alpha-Glucan and Lactobacillus to support the skin microbiome. While excellent for robust, hyper-oily skin, the alkaline pH will temporarily breach delicate acidic moisture mantles despite the hydrating claims.
