Double Cleansing: the Essential Routine for Clear and Radiant Skin

Double facial cleansing has become a true benchmark in modern skincare routines. Inspired by Asian rituals, this method helps remove all the impurities accumulated throughout the day, preserve skin balance and prepare the skin to receive targeted treatments. Far from being a passing trend, this technique is increasingly popular as it combines effectiveness with gentleness, while being suitable for all skin types.

The benefits of double cleansing

Deep removal of impurities

Throughout the day, the skin is exposed to multiple aggressors. Pollution, excess sebum, sunscreen, dust and makeup accumulate on the surface of the epidermis and clog pores. A single cleanse is not always enough to remove them completely. Double cleansing addresses this issue by combining a makeup remover that dissolves oily impurities with a cleanser that eliminates hydrophilic residues. This synergy leaves the complexion perfectly clean, freed from impurities and visibly healthier.

Improved radiance and skin texture

When properly cleansed, the skin regains its natural luminosity. Double cleansing refines skin texture by smoothing it and reducing the appearance of pores. The complexion looks brighter, imperfections are softened and the skin barrier is better protected. Day after day, this consistent cleansing ritual results in skin that is softer, more supple and visibly more radiant.

Preparing the skin to absorb skincare products

Perfectly cleansed skin is more receptive to the active ingredients found in serums, creams and balms. Double cleansing prepares the epidermis to fully benefit from subsequent treatments. This step acts as a true performance booster, allowing ingredients to penetrate more effectively and deliver their full potential.

The steps of double cleansing

Step 1: Remove makeup with an oil, cleansing milk or micellar water

The first step removes makeup and oily impurities. The 3-in-1 Cleansing Oil stands out for its silky texture that gently dissolves makeup, impurities and excess sebum. Enriched with argan oil, it nourishes the skin and restores suppleness, while green algae extract Codium tomentosum helps maintain hydration.

For those seeking a quick and simple gesture, the 3-in-1 Micellar Water is an ideal option. Enriched with a prebiotic [Inulin] and green algae extract, it respects the balance of sensitive skin while delivering a refreshing sensation.

Finally, the [Nutri+] Cleansing Milk offers a cocooning alternative that combines effectiveness with comfort. Creamy and delicate, it envelops the skin, removes makeup traces and provides soothing comfort thanks to sweet almond oil and the calming softness of green algae.

Step 2: Cleanse with a gel or cleansing foam

After makeup removal, completing the routine with a cleanser is essential to perfect impurity removal. The Detox Micellar Mousse has an airy texture that feels light on the skin while eliminating pollution particles. Pollustop acts as a protective shield against external aggressors, while green algae extract helps maintain skin hydration.
The [Purity] Cleansing Gel, the latest addition to the range, is designed for combination to oily skin. Its formula, enriched with Skin-protect and green and brown algae extracts, deeply purifies the skin, regulates sebum and tightens pores. This innovation combines performance with respect for skin balance, leaving the complexion clear, fresh and rebalanced.

Product selection

The best makeup removers

Choosing a makeup remover primarily depends on the skin’s specific needs. Those who wear long-lasting makeup or tend to produce excess sebum will favour a cleansing oil, which effectively dissolves all impurities. Those looking for a quick, practical and refreshing gesture will opt for micellar water, ideal for sensitive skin. Dry or mature skin types will appreciate the cleansing milk for its nourishing, comforting texture that soothes while ensuring effective makeup removal.

The best cleansing products

The cleanser should also be selected according to skin type and environment. Skin prone to imperfections will benefit from a gel that purifies and regulates excess sebum. Urban skin, exposed to pollution, will gain more from a cleansing foam that acts as a protective barrier while leaving a fresh, clean sensation. In all cases, the goal is to achieve perfectly clean skin without stripping it, in order to preserve its natural balance.

The best marine and dermo-cosmetic actives in your routine

The uniqueness of Algotherm skincare lies in the combination of marine actives and dermo-cosmetic ingredients. Each product is designed to unite efficacy with respect for the skin. The 3-in-1 Cleansing Oil blends argan oil, known for its regenerating properties, with green algae extract Codium tomentosum to maintain hydration. The 3-in-1 Micellar Water relies on the prebiotic [Inulin], which preserves the balance of the skin microbiome, in synergy with green algae. The Cleansing Milk [Nutri+] combines soothing sweet almond oil with green algae extract that softens and protects the skin. The Detox Micellar Foam is powered by Pollustop, a dermo-cosmetic active that shields the skin from external aggressors, alongside green algae to hydrate and comfort. The Cleansing Gel [Purity] highlights Skin-protect for its purifying properties, combined with green and brown algae to ensure a balancing and protective action.

This synergy between marine ingredients and dermo-cosmetic actives delivers visible, long-lasting results. The skin is deeply cleansed, freed from impurities, while remaining hydrated, protected and radiantly healthy.

Double facial cleansing is more than a simple trend; it is a true revolution in skincare routines. By combining two complementary steps, it removes all impurities, reveals the skin’s natural radiance and prepares it to receive targeted treatments. Thanks to the richness of marine and dermo-cosmetic actives in Algotherm formulas, each product becomes a skincare step in its own right, both effective and sensorial. Whatever the skin type, there is always an ideal combination of makeup remover and cleanser to suit every ritual. Day after day, the skin regains purity, softness and radiance, for a visibly healthier, more luminous complexion.

Double cleansing also forms an essential foundation for hydrating and anti-ageing skincare, as skin that is perfectly freed from impurities absorbs the active ingredients in creams, serums and balms more effectively. Whether oils, micellar waters, cleansing gels or cleansing milks, each step of the ritual prepares the skin to receive targeted products that help preserve youthful-looking skin and enhance the overall effectiveness of the routine.
