Double Cleansing Demystified: Why Your Routine Starts Here

Cleansing is often underestimated, yet it is the cornerstone of every effective skincare ritual. Without properly cleansed skin, active ingredients cannot penetrate effectively, and even the most advanced serums will underperform.

Still, many hesitate to embrace double cleansing, worried it might over-strip or irritate the skin. The reality is that when done correctly—and paired with the right toners—double cleansing can actually strengthen and support the skin barrier. With QMS, this ritual is designed not just to purify, but to hydrate, calm, and prepare skin for the transformative treatments that follow.

The Gentle Cleansing Milk is designed to nurture as it cleanses. With maize seed oil, witch hazel, and allantoin, it dissolves makeup and impurities without leaving residue. Its milky texture respects the barrier, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. As a bonus, it doubles as a gentle eye makeup remover.

The simplest step in your skincare routine is often the most overlooked: cleansing. Yet cleansing is far from basic—it’s the gateway that determines whether the active ingredients that follow can perform at their peak.

Once the surface is clear, the Energizing Cleansing Gel purifies and revitalizes. Infused with mandelic acid and lactobionic acid, it offers a mild exfoliating effect, refining pores and improving texture without irritation. Aloe vera and green coffee seed extract leave skin luminous, fresh, and energized.

To complete the ritual, QMS offers two advanced toners tailored to different skin needs.

• Hydrating Toner – Restores the skin’s natural pH level, delivers a refreshing boost of moisture, and primes the complexion for serums. With sorbitol and witch hazel, it balances and smooths while leaving the skin comfortably refreshed.
• Calming Toner – Ideal for sensitive or stressed skin, this formulation goes beyond hydration. Enriched with probiotics, ectoin, and natural betaine, it supports the skin’s microbiome, reduces irritation, and strengthens the barrier. It’s the perfect choice post-cleanse for those prone to redness or reactivity.

Whether you choose Hydrating or Calming, the finishing step ensures skin is balanced, soothed, and optimally prepared for the collagen serums and treatments that follow.

• Morning: Gentle cleanse to remove overnight sweat and oils; finish with toner to prep for daytime serums.
• Evening: Full double cleanse—milk first, gel second—followed by toner and nighttime serums.
• Weekly: Complement with exfoliation to accelerate cell turnover and maximize serum efficacy.

QMS identifies four key causes of aging: loss of oxygen flow, reduced collagen production, dehydration, and slower cell turnover. Cleansing directly supports each by removing barriers that inhibit oxygen flow, preparing the skin to absorb collagen formulations, preventing dehydration from buildup, and stimulating healthy cell turnover.

Double cleansing is not about excess—it’s about efficacy. With Gentle Cleansing Milk, Energizing Cleansing Gel, and Hydrating or Calming Toner, QMS transforms cleansing from routine into ritual. The result is skin that is not only clean, but primed—ready to unlock the full potential of advanced collagen serums and treatments that follow.
