Double cleansing isn't about using two cleansers - it's about understanding what you're trying to remove.

Throughout the day, your skin collects oil-based impurities like sunscreen, makeup, excess sebum, and pollution, alongside water-based impurities such as sweat, dust, and environmental debris. Because oil and water don't mix, a single cleanser is rarely able to remove both effectively. The result? Either residue left behind or skin that's over-cleansed and stripped of its natural barrier.

That's why dermatologists recommend double cleansing, a two-step ritual that cleanses more intelligently, not more aggressively. Not because you need two cleansers, but because different impurities require different cleansing mechanisms.
