Detox Face Cleanser Cape Town

OUAI Detox Face Cleanser in Cape Town is a liquid cleanser built for the gap most washes fall into — strong enough for sweat, oil and a full face of makeup, mild enough that your skin is not squeaking afterwards. OUAI developed it over a year of sweat-testing with its own community.

What it actually does

• Clears sweat, oil and makeup in one wash. That is the brief OUAI set for it — a thorough clean that does not strip or leave skin feeling tight.
• Exfoliates gently while it cleanses. Glycolic acid, an AHA, handles the surface exfoliation without a separate scrub step.
• Helps keep oil in check. Niacinamide is in the formula to support balanced oil production, which matters if your T-zone runs ahead of the rest of your face.
• Keeps moisture in the skin. Gluconolactone, a PHA, attracts and holds water so the exfoliation does not cost you hydration.
• Leaves out a long list. No parabens, formaldehydes or formaldehyde releasers, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, SLS or SLES sulfates, triclocarban or triclosan.

How to use

1. Wet your face first. Apply the cleanser onto damp, not dry, skin.
2. Work it into a creamy lather with your fingertips, taking in the hairline, jaw and sides of the nose.
3. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry — skin should feel clean and refreshed, not taut.

Tip: this one contains an AHA, so make sunscreen non-negotiable the next morning.

Questions

Can I use it twice a day?

It is designed not to dry or strip, so twice daily is reasonable for most skin. If your skin is on the sensitive side, keep it for the evening wash and use something plainer in the morning.

Will it take off makeup on its own?

OUAI positions it as tough on makeup along with sweat and oil. For heavy or waterproof products, an oil or balm first and this as the second cleanse is the easier route.

Can I use it with other exfoliating products?

Be careful. There is already an AHA and a PHA in here, so stacking another acid treatment on the same night is how people end up irritated. Alternate rather than combine.
