Nightingale Cleansing

Nightingale Daily Derma cleansing pads are embossed cotton or fibre pads pre-soaked in a cleansing solution. You wipe the pad across dry or damp skin to remove sebum, dead cells, and surface grime without the need for water and a separate cleanser. This format became popular in Korean skincare as a daily exfoliation alternative to manual scrubs, which can damage the barrier when used too aggressively. The embossing on the pad surface provides mild physical texture to enhance cell removal, while the soaking solution handles the chemical cleansing. The result is a two-in-one step that saves time in a morning routine.

Nightingale sells two cleansing pad variants: Mild and Mild Acid. The Mild formula is the gentler option - suitable for sensitive skin, beginners to the pad format, or anyone who prefers a hydration-first cleanse without any chemical exfoliation. The Mild Acid variant adds a low-concentration acid (commonly PHA or BHA in Korean cleansing pads) that enhances dead-cell removal and pore cleansing beyond what the physical embossing alone achieves. The Mild Acid is better for oily, blemish-prone, or dull skin that needs more thorough surface clearing. Both formulas are designed for daily use - the acid concentration is calibrated to be safe for everyday application, unlike a weekly peel-off treatment.

Nightingale offers the Daily Derma Cleansing Pad Mild in three sizes: 10 sheets, 70 sheets, and 100 sheets. The Mild Acid variant comes in 10 and 70 sheets. The 10-sheet pack is sized for first-time buyers wanting to test the formula - at one pad per day, it covers 10 days. The 70-sheet jar is the standard purchase for a product you already use, lasting 10 weeks at daily use. The 100-sheet jar is the economy size covering 14 weeks. The general 100 cleansing pad pack available separately is suited to the same frequency. For the Daily Derma Mild Acid, the 70-sheet is the first step up after confirming tolerance with the 10-sheet trial.

The Nightingale Daily Derma Deep Cleansing Water (500 ml) is a micellar-type or surfactant-based cleansing water for removing makeup and surface impurities before the foam cleanser or pad step. A 500 ml bottle is a generous size - it positions this product for regular daily use or as a first-cleanse step in a double-cleanse routine. Cleansing waters are applied to a cotton pad and swept over the face, dissolving oil-based makeup and SPF before a water-based secondary cleanse. The 'Deep Cleansing' label signals it handles heavier residue including waterproof formulas.

The Nightingale Daily Derma Deep Cleansing Water + Cotton Pad 40p kit packages the cleansing water with 40 cotton pads in a single purchase. This bundle eliminates the need to source cotton pads separately - a practical entry point for someone setting up the full Nightingale cleansing routine from scratch. Forty pads at one-pad-per-day covers about six weeks. Once the cotton pads run out, the cleansing water bottle can be replenished separately or used with pads from the Nightingale cleansing pad range.

The Nightingale Cleansing Foam Mild Acid (140 ml) is the brand's traditional foaming cleanser - applied to damp skin, worked to a foam, then rinsed off. At 140 ml it lasts roughly six to eight weeks at twice-daily use. The Mild Acid formula mirrors the pad line's philosophy: a daily-safe acid concentration for gentle exfoliation during the cleanse rather than a dedicated exfoliation treatment. This foam works well as the second cleanse in a double-cleanse routine (after the cleansing water removes makeup) or as a morning cleanser on days when the night-before routine was already thorough. It suits oily and combination skin types better than the sensitive end of the spectrum.

The Nightingale cleansing range supports a full double-cleanse routine using products from within the same line. For the first cleanse (oil-based or micellar removal of makeup and SPF), use the Daily Derma Deep Cleansing Water (500 ml) on a cotton pad. Follow with the second cleanse using either the Daily Derma Cleansing Pads or the Cleansing Foam Mild Acid (140 ml). If using both pads and foam, choose one for the second cleanse step rather than stacking both - either the pad or the foam achieves the goal. The foam is faster; the pad adds physical texture. Evening routines handling heavier makeup benefit from the water-first sequence; lighter morning routines can start with the pad alone.

Sensitive or dry skin: the Daily Derma Cleansing Pad Mild (70 or 100 sheets) and the Daily Derma Deep Cleansing Water for makeup removal. Avoid the Mild Acid variants until the skin has adjusted to the pad format. Oily or blemish-prone skin: the Daily Derma Cleansing Pad Mild Acid and Cleansing Foam Mild Acid are the go-to choices - the acid exfoliation helps clear pores and control excess sebum. Combination skin: use the Mild formula in the morning and the Mild Acid pad at night to match the day's sebum level without over-stripping. All skin types: the 10-sheet trial packs for both Mild and Mild Acid allow testing before committing to a 70 or 100-sheet jar.
