First step: the oil phase
The oil phase removes oily substances present on the skin, such as make-up, excess sebum and even pollution. Make-up remover oil captures lipophilic molecules present on the skin and dissolves them gently without irritating the skin. Even combination or oily skin prone to shininess, enlarged pores and small blemishes can put an end to overly aggressive cleansing techniques that cause excess sebum, tightness and dry skin.
Whether you choose Éclair Cleansing Oil or another PATYKA cleansing oil (such as Remarkable Cleansing Oil), the application method remains the same: massage the oil in circular movements over dry skin, not forgetting the eyes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Second step: the aqueous phase
This second step completes the make-up removal and perfects the cleansing process. Opting for a two-step cleansing routine helps remove any impurities that remain on the skin's surface. On still damp skin, cleanse the skin using a gel, milk, or a cleansing foam, one of PATYKA's essential skincare products.
The benefits of a facial cleansing foam
Choosing a cleansing foam to cleanse your skin means opting for an alternative that respects the skin's balance.
Ideal for all skin types, especially the most sensitive, PATYKA facial cleansing foams contain natural, sulfate-free surfactants (cleansing agents), often derived from sugar, which are gentler on the epidermis. They function like micelles, molecules with different polarity, both lipophilic and hydrophilic.
Lipophilic molecules have an affinity for fatty substances and will capture all impurities, while hydrophilic molecules will allow their elimination during rinsing.
And if your skin is usually sensitive to water cleansing, then cleansing foams will be your new essential beauty product: their light texture and ultra-gentle formulation respect the skin's pH and sensitivity. The fatty agents they contain (such as glycerine) preserve the skin's hydrolipidic film and prevent limescale from drying it out.
Gentler than a cleansing gel, cleansing foam can be applied alone in the morning to revive dull skin, or in the evening after removing make-up.
At the heart of the CLEAN collection, you'll find Detox Cleansing Foam. It's the second step of the CLEAN ritual, which removes make-up, cleanses and detoxifies the skin, without aggressing it. This cosmetic innovation from PATYKA Advanced Research instantly restores a radiant complexion and a more even skin texture.
The Detox Cleansing Foam is sulfate-free and has a pH between 4.5 and 5.2, so it can be perfectly used by the most sensitive skin types. Aqueous in its transparent bottle, it transforms into a light foam thanks to its air-incorporating pump. Its creamy texture makes it ultra-sensorial to use.

It frees the skin from impurities and eliminates pollution particles accumulated throughout the day. Its secret? Regenerating and detoxifying active ingredients that purify the skin without harming it:
- ORGANIC MORINGA:
Also known as the “tree of life”, this active ingredient has a highly prized cleansing action in India, where it originates. A true superfood, it is one of the most nutritious plants on earth. It is exceptionally rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is an ingredient of choice for revitalizing dull skin, purifying combination or blemish-prone skin, and also for deeply detoxifying the skin while preserving it.
- ALOE VERA:
Packed with vitamins and trace elements, this essential active ingredient repairs and soothes the skin. Both hydrating, healing and softening, it promotes the regeneration process of skin cells, stimulates skin repair and cares for skin prone to redness. It is also known to stimulate fibroblasts, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid. As for its purifying, antibacterial and sanitizing virtues, they are essential in a facial cleanser.
After double cleansing with make-up remover oil and cleansing foam, the skin regains its elasticity and radiance. It is effectively cleansed without being aggressed and its hydrolipidic film is strengthened.
