Intense Cleansing Program "Programme Demaquillant"
< This Week's Recommended Point >
The weather has finally stabilized, and it's becoming warm enough to sweat. It feels like a distant memory, how we used to huddle up. The dazzling sun is both a joy and a little bit of a sorrow... Yes, the problem is this brightness that reveals everything. The "cleansing" care that we tended to neglect with the excuse of "it's cold." Under the bright sun, we notice dullness before we know it! This won't allow whitening treatments to be effective, will it? So, this time, we're introducing a 3-piece cleansing set. The three bottles in beautiful yellow, blue, and clear colors alone are enough to lift your spirits. Let us introduce "BEAUTY by C.IVO PITANGUY's Programme Demaquillant," a unique three-step facial cleansing routine.

Yellow, Blue, Clear: Three Products, Three Steps!
Three "cleansers"? How do you use them? That was my first question too. But once you try it, it's very simple. It's a three-step process: ① Deep Cleansing ② Detox ③ Skin Conditioning.
First, the yellow bottle is the cleansing oil "Huile Nettoyante," containing moringa oil, sweet almond oil, and other ingredients. Some people worry, "Cleansing oils might strip too much oil and dry out my skin," and I haven't been a big fan of that texture myself lately, but this one causes no such worries. It's not sticky, not too light, it glides onto makeup residue and washes off with lukewarm water, leaving a clean feeling. Yet, it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight at all; it feels supple. Actually, you're not supposed to use this around the eyes, but I use it to remove my eye makeup too. After applying it all over my face, I put a little on my palm specifically for the eye area and very gently, lightly, blend it in. If you gently massage your lashes, mascara comes off smoothly. But, absolutely no harsh rubbing!
After rinsing thoroughly, it's time for the second product, the blue bottle. This and the third, clear bottle, are toners. The second product, "Solution Purifiante," is a clarifying toner with ingredients like malachite, cornflower water, and allantoin, along with vegetable glycerin. The idea is to saturate a cotton pad and thoroughly remove impurities from the skin. However, even after wiping, my skin doesn't feel tight at all; it feels as if I've just used a hydrating toner.
Finally, the last step, "Lotion Tonique," uses rose and orange blossom water and chamomile water to soften the skin, the calming effect of neroli essential oil, and the repairing properties of aloe vera extract to tighten pores and condition the skin.
A 3-Step Cleansing Routine for Brighter, More Translucent Skin with Daily Care
I don't think many brands have approached daily cleansing as a system like this before.
But this is precisely what makes this brand unique. The brand, BEAUTY by C.IVO PITANGUY, which is a bit of a mouthful, was originally developed in Brazil and commercialized in France. It was created by Dr. Ivo Pitanguy, who was called the "Michelangelo with a Scalpel" and the "Father of Plastic Surgery," and his daughter, Dr. Gisela Pitanguy. Brazil is the second-largest country for plastic surgery after the United States, and it's no exaggeration to say that the cosmetics developed by BEAUTY by C.IVO PITANGUY are packed with the expertise cultivated in clinics and the essence of cutting-edge beauty techniques. It is precisely because this brand knows skin so intimately that this 3-step cleansing program pursues both efficacy and beauty for the skin.
This 3-step cleansing routine brightens and enhances the translucency of your skin with daily care, without the need for special scrubs or exfoliation. Why not try this three-part cleansing program carefully to keep up with the dazzling sun?
*However, personally, I have a slight concern about the quantity. I use two cotton pads layered together for the blue toner, so it runs out quickly... Since all three bottles won't necessarily run out at the same time, I wish I could buy them individually when I repurchase.
A word from my hometown, Tosa dialect!
"The world's getting brighter, so you gotta keep up. Your skin too, use these three steps—cleansing oil, toner, and refining lotion—to make it properly bright. After doing these three, your usual serum will penetrate better too. It'll make whitening treatments more effective."
*Award for brightening the skin with a supple, clear finish through a 3-step process of cleansing oil and two toners!
