Let's start with the distinction that changes the game: removing makeup and cleansing the face.

Removing makeup means removing what you have applied to your face, namely foundation, mascara, SPF, everything that sits on the surface. 

Cleansing the face goes deeper: it removes sebum, cellular debris, pollution particles, everything the skin accumulates during the day (or night) regardless of makeup. They are two distinct operations, although some products, such as 2-in-1s, combine them in a single step.

So what is cleansing for? It keeps the skin microbiome balanced, prevents clogged pores and dullness, promotes cell renewal, and prepares the skin to absorb everything that comes next. In short, it is the first act of care that makes everything else effective.

It should be done twice a day: in the morning, to remove overnight residue, and in the evening, to deeply cleanse everything the day has left behind.

All this can lead to dry, frizzy, brittle hair, split ends, and fading color.

And the scalp? It suffers the same attacks, you just see them less. 

Taking preventive measures during the summer, therefore, prevents you from having to repair everything from scratch in September. 

• Oily skin: yes, especially in the evening. It helps remove sebum deeply.
• Combination skin: yes, with balanced products that respect the different areas of the face.
• Dry skin: it depends. It is better to prefer a nourishing oil or butter as the first step, so as not to deprive the skin of the substances it needs.
• Sensitive skin: with caution, only with ultra-delicate formulas and without irritating ingredients.
• Acne-prone skin: yes, but choose non-comedogenic products.
• Mature skin: yes, with a nourishing oil as the first step for a ritual that cleanses and nourishes at the same time.

The alternative that will literally change your way of thinking about cleansing? A 2-in-1 product designed to replicate the benefits of double facial cleansing in a single step. We'll talk about it in a moment.

Every formula tells a different story, and finding the right one for you is already half the battle. We're here to help!

Oil and butter dissolve makeup and SPF without disturbing the skin barrier. They are the classic first step of double cleansing, especially appreciated by those prone to dryness who are looking for a deeply nourishing result. 

Gel: fresh, slightly foamy, it cleanses the skin deeply; 

Mousse and foam are airy, light, and leave a thoroughly clean feeling. 

Cream. It's a chapter of its own compared to the other formulas. Dense, enveloping, more like a pampering treat than a degreasing product, it is the texture that cares for and protects while cleansing, and our Bubble Gleam is the most successful example: a 2-in-1 cream that removes makeup and cleanses in a single step, with a melting texture that transforms into a delicate foam upon contact with water. 

It is the best product for double cleansing, especially for those who want to simplify without compromising on anything.

Mulac has an entire family of products designed to cleanse and remove makeup, to be used alone, in pairs, in whichever order feels right for you. You can find them all in the cleansers and makeup removers catalog.
