Max Beauty Usage Tips:
- The team recommends it for oily, combination, and sensitive acne-prone skin that needs gentle foaming cleansing without harshness.
- If your skin is dry or feels tight easily, use it once in the evening and follow with a barrier-supporting moisturizer.
- For very oily skin, it can be used morning and evening with a light gel moisturizer to maintain balance without excessive drying.
- Do not rub the skin vigorously during washing; the soft foam is sufficient to cleanse the face without straining the barrier.
- If you wear waterproof makeup or sunscreen, it is preferable to use a makeup remover or cleansing oil first, then this cleanser as a second step.
- Avoid using it immediately after a strong exfoliation if the skin is irritated, as the presence of salicylic acid may increase discomfort for some skin types.
- In the morning, do not forget sunscreen, especially if your skin is prone to acne or post-acne pigmentation.
