Keep the sequence useful. Remove makeup or sunscreen with the oil when that step is needed. If your routine includes a foam cleanse, use it after rinsing the oil. Finish with your chosen leave-on care. Not every evening calls for every step.
Your evening, in order
- Remove: begin with dry handsFor the oil step, apply a few pumps of Centella Light Cleansing Oil to a dry face with dry hands. Massage gently in circular motions to dissolve makeup and debris. Add a little water and continue until it becomes a light, milky emulsion. Rinse completely with lukewarm water.
- Cleanse: lather before applyingIf you choose to follow with Centella Ampoule Foam, work an appropriate amount into a lather in wet palms. Gently massage the face and rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid adding extra cleansing steps simply to make the routine longer.
- Hydrate: switch to leave-on careFor a watery hydration step, apply an appropriate amount of Centella Ampoule evenly and pat into the skin. Unlike the cleansers, it stays on.
- Finish: apply your moisturizerCentella Soothing Cream has a lightweight gel texture. Apply an appropriate amount and gently pat, following the product’s instruction to use it as the last skin-care step.

Adjust the routine, not just the product count
| Tonight’s question | A practical next step |
|---|---|
| Am I removing makeup or sunscreen? | Consider the oil’s removal role and follow its full emulsify-and-rinse sequence. |
| Do I need another cleansing step? | Decide based on your routine and skin’s response. Using two cleansers is not mandatory. |
| Am I trying something new? | Add one unfamiliar product at a time so you can notice how your skin responds. |
| Does my skin feel dry or irritated? | Avoid extending cleansing or scrubbing. Stop an irritating product and seek professional advice if the problem persists. |
Routine questions
Does this have to be a four-product routine?
No. The steps explain how the products fit together, not a requirement to buy or use all four. Choose the steps you need.
Should I apply cleansing oil to a wet face?
The Light Cleansing Oil directions specify dry hands and a dry face. Add water later to emulsify, then rinse.
When does Centella Ampoule go on?
Use it as a leave-on step after cleansing. Apply evenly and pat into skin; finish with your chosen moisturizer.
A few essentials, whatever you choose
- Use gentle motions and lukewarm water. The AAD’s face-washing guide explains why scrubbing is unnecessary.
- Introduce unfamiliar products carefully. Follow the AAD’s guidance on testing a new skin-care product and stop using it if irritation develops.
- If skin feels dry, keep moisturizing in the routine. See the AAD’s dry-skin care advice for general guidance.
