How to use
AM
PM
- AM or PM: Massage 2–3 pumps, or less if sufficient, onto damp skin with gentle movements.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with moisturiser and, in the morning, sunscreen.
- For waterproof makeup or persistent sunscreen residue, use an appropriate makeup remover first. Avoid direct eye contact.
Key ingredients
Decyl glucoside and glutamate surfactants
The main cleansing ingredients lift oil, sunscreen residue and dirt so they can rinse away. Even mild surfactants can irritate some skin.
Glycerin and betaine
Humectants bind water and support a comfortable wash. They do not make a rinse-off cleanser equivalent to a leave-on moisturiser.
Quinoa and botanical extracts
Quinoa, centella, calendula and green tea complement the formula. Short contact time limits what we can infer about antioxidant or barrier benefits.
Geranium oil
A fragrant essential oil. It is worth checking if you react to fragrance, despite the cleanser's gentle positioning.

Doctor’s note
- I would use the smallest amount that cleans comfortably. More foam and longer washing do not necessarily mean better cleansing.
- If your skin feels tight after washing, reduce contact time or choose a simpler fragrance-free cleanser.
This is not medical advice; if you have any medical conditions, consult your doctor.
A good cleanser should remove the day without leaving your face feeling tight. I see AXIS-Y Quinoa One-Step Balanced Gel Cleanser as a practical low-pH gel cleanser, rather than a 'detox' for the skin.
The cleansing system combines glucoside and glutamate surfactants with glycerin and betaine. That balance matters more to me than the quinoa name: surfactants lift away oil and dirt, while humectants help the wash feel less drying.
This Korean facial cleanser can suit combination or oily skin that dislikes a harsh wash.
It may remove light makeup, but waterproof makeup and water-resistant sunscreen can need a separate first cleanse.
