โจ Texture & Feel
Centella Asiatica Cica Complex
Contains all four centelloids (Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid) plus Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract to soothe and calm irritated, redness-prone skin.
23% Glycerin for Deep Hydration
High concentration of moisturizing glycerin ensures skin feels hydrated and comfortable after cleansing, not tight or stripped.
Sulfate-Free Gentle Surfactants
Uses Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Coco-Betaine instead of harsh sulfates, creating a rich, dense foam that cleanses effectively without compromising the skin barrier.
PHA (Gluconolactone) Exfoliation
Contains Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that provides gentle exfoliation to improve texture without causing irritation, even on sensitive skin.
๐ก๏ธ Safety & Compatibility
No retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. All ingredients are considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always consult your physician.
Contains Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment (a ferment) and Glyceryl Stearate (fatty acid ester) which may feed malassezia. However, as a rinse-off product, risk is lower than leave-on products. Patch test recommended.
No heavy oils or known pore-clogging ingredients. Glyceryl Stearate and Stearyl Alcohol have low comedogenic ratings (1-2). As a wash-off product, pore-clogging risk is minimal.
Dermatologist tested, free from synthetic fragrance, sulfates, parabens, and drying alcohol. pH-balanced formula maintains the acid mantle.
Gentle, low-pH formula works well as a cleanser alongside retinol, vitamin C, AHA, or BHA treatments in your routine without over-stripping.
If you have a soy allergy, be aware this formula contains Glycine Soja (Soybean) Peptide. While the risk is minimal for topical application on intact skin, those with severe allergies should consult a dermatologist first.
๐ฌ Ingredient Breakdown
๐ฟ Centella Asiatica Complex Full Spectrum Proven
The star ingredient of the Cicapair line. This cleanser includes the complete Centella Asiatica Complex: Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract plus all four isolated centelloids โ Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid โ for comprehensive soothing and skin barrier support.
- Wound Healing: Centella asiatica has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat wounds, burns, and inflammatory skin conditions.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Asiaticoside and madecassoside are shown to inhibit inflammatory mediators, reducing redness and irritation.
- Collagen Synthesis: Asiatic acid and madecassic acid stimulate type I collagen synthesis, supporting barrier repair and skin recovery.
๐ง Glycerin 23% Proven
A powerful humectant present at a generous 23% concentration. Glycerin draws moisture into the skin and helps maintain hydration during and after cleansing, preventing that tight, stripped feeling common with foam cleansers.
- Hydration: One of the most well-studied humectants in skincare, proven to attract and retain water in the skin.
- Barrier Support: Helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- Safety Profile: Rated as non-comedogenic (0) and non-irritating. Safe for all skin types including sensitive.
๐งช Gluconolactone (PHA) Low % Proven
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that offers gentle chemical exfoliation. Unlike AHAs and BHAs, PHAs have larger molecular structures, resulting in slower skin penetration and less irritation โ ideal for sensitive skin.
- Gentle Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells to improve skin texture and brightness without causing stinging or peeling.
- Antioxidant Properties: Gluconolactone also functions as an antioxidant, providing protection against environmental stressors.
- Humectant Bonus: Unlike most exfoliants, PHAs also draw moisture into the skin due to their multiple hydroxyl groups.
๐งฌ Glycine Soja (Soybean) Peptide Low % Promising
A soybean-derived peptide that provides anti-aging and brightening benefits. Peptides are small chains of amino acids that signal skin cells to perform specific functions like collagen production and repair.
- Anti-Aging: Soy peptides have been shown to support skin firmness and elasticity through collagen stimulation.
- Brightening: May help inhibit melanin transfer, contributing to a more even skin tone over time.
๐ซง Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate High % Proven
The primary surfactant in this formula. Derived from coconut oil, this ultra-gentle cleansing agent creates a rich, creamy foam while being one of the mildest surfactants available. Studies show it has minimal impact on the skin barrier compared to sulfates.
- Mildness: Dermatology research describes SCI as having "defined a new dimension in mildness" among cleansing agents.
- Biodegradable: Derived from coconut, it is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
- Foam Quality: Produces a dense, satisfying foam without the harsh stripping of SLS/SLES.

๐ How to Use
Dampen Your Face
Wet your face with lukewarm water. If wearing makeup or sunscreen, use an oil cleanser or cleansing balm first as a first cleanse.
Dispense & Lather
Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto damp hands. Gently rub between palms to create a rich, creamy foam. A little goes a long way.
Massage Gently
Apply the foam to your face using gentle, circular motions for 30โ60 seconds. Avoid the delicate eye area. Use rolling motions to reduce friction on sensitive skin.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse off completely with lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel and follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. This cleanser does not contain any ingredients flagged as unsafe during pregnancy or breastfeeding โ no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or high-dose essential oils. The formula uses only gentle, pregnancy-compatible surfactants, glycerin, and the Centella Asiatica complex, which is considered safe for topical use. As always, consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist if you have specific concerns.
Use with caution. The formula contains Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment (a ferment that may feed malassezia yeast) and Glyceryl Stearate (a fatty acid ester). However, because this is a rinse-off product that stays on skin for under 60 seconds, the risk of triggering fungal acne is significantly lower than with leave-on products. If you are highly prone to fungal acne, consider the Torriden Balanceful Cica Cleansing Gel as a malassezia-safe alternative.
Absolutely. This cleanser is an ideal companion for active ingredients. Its gentle, sulfate-free formula and pH-balanced formulation won't strip or sensitize the skin before applying potent actives. In fact, dermatologists often recommend gentle, non-irritating cleansers like this one when using retinol or chemical exfoliants to minimize the risk of over-irritation. Simply cleanse, pat dry, then apply your actives followed by moisturizer.
This cleanser is best suited for sensitive, dry, combination, and normal skin types. It excels for anyone with redness-prone, irritated, or eczema-prone skin thanks to the Centella Asiatica complex. It also works well for those using active ingredients who need a gentle cleanser that won't compromise the skin barrier. Those with very oily skin may prefer a slightly more thorough cleanser or should use this as a second cleanser after an oil cleanse.
Immediate results include clean, hydrated, comfortable skin from the very first use. Within 1โ2 weeks of consistent twice-daily use, many users notice calmer, less reactive skin and reduced visible redness. By week 3โ4, the PHA exfoliation helps smooth skin texture and brighten the complexion. Long-term use (2+ months) builds a stronger, more resilient skin barrier.
This is a water-based foaming cleanser and goes in the cleansing step of your routine. In the morning, use it as your sole cleanser. In the evening, use it as your second cleanser after an oil-based cleanser or cleansing balm (double-cleanse method). After cleansing, follow with toner, essence/serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (AM only).
This cleanser has a low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5. It does not contain heavy oils or known pore-clogging ingredients. The potentially comedogenic ingredients (Glyceryl Stearate rated 1โ2, Stearyl Alcohol rated 2) are present in a rinse-off formula, meaning they spend minimal time on the skin. For the vast majority of users, this product will not clog pores.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. The 100ml tube typically lasts 2โ3 months with twice-daily use, as a pea-sized amount is sufficient per wash. Store in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed. If the texture, scent, or color changes noticeably, discontinue use even if within the 12-month window.
Verdict: The Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Foaming Cleanser is one of the best gentle foam cleansers available for sensitive and redness-prone skin. Its full-spectrum Cica Complex, generous 23% glycerin content, and sulfate-free surfactant system deliver an impressively soothing cleanse that leaves skin hydrated rather than stripped. The inclusion of PHA and soybean peptide adds value beyond simple cleansing. The main drawbacks are its small 100ml size for the premium price point and the presence of a ferment ingredient that makes it not fully fungal-acne-safe. If budget is a concern, the COSRX Pure Fit Cica Cleanser offers similar performance at a fraction of the cost โ but for those who want the complete Cicapair experience with proven Dr. Jart+ formulation quality, this cleanser is an excellent choice.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging ยซpromisesยป it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
