PRODUCT INFORMATION

First Move is designed to go beyond surface clean. With amino acid surfactants, exfoliating acids, and soothing extracts like green tea, mugwort, and sea buckthorn, it clears away sweat, oil, and pollution while nourishing the barrier. Prebiotics, panthenol,
and allantoin keep irritation in check so every wash feels like a reset, never a strip.

First Move goes deeper than most cleansers — unclogging pores and refining texture while still respecting your barrier. Use it morning, night, or as part of a double cleanse for days heavy with SPF or makeup.

Because it’s thorough without being harsh — giving you clean, breathable, balanced skin every single time.

Curious Minds

Frequently Asked Questions

What is First Move?

First Move is a low-foam daily cleanser designed to deeply cleanse the skin without leaving it feeling stripped or tight. It removes excess oil, sunscreen, pollution, sweat and daily buildup while helping maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance.

Unlike harsh cleansers that can disrupt the skin barrier, First Move cleans effectively while keeping skin feeling soft, fresh and comfortable after every wash. Its balanced formula helps cleanse thoroughly without over-drying, making it suitable for everyday use.

How does First Move help with clogged pores?

Clogged pores are often caused by the buildup of excess sebum, dead skin cells, sunscreen, makeup and environmental impurities. When this buildup sits on the skin for too long, pores can appear larger, rougher and more congested.

First Move helps cleanse away these impurities before they accumulate and block the pores. Its gentle yet effective cleansing system removes excess oil and daily buildup without aggressively stripping the skin, helping pores feel cleaner and skin texture appear smoother over time.

Consistent cleansing helps reduce congestion, keeps pores clear and supports a more balanced-looking complexion.

Why is First Move effective for removing sunscreen, oil and daily buildup?

Throughout the day, your skin accumulates sweat, pollution, excess sebum, sunscreen and environmental impurities that can be difficult to fully remove with water alone.

First Move is formulated to effectively lift away this buildup while remaining gentle on the skin barrier. It cleanses thoroughly without leaving behind heaviness, residue or that overly dry “squeaky clean” feeling often associated with harsh face washes.

The result is skin that feels refreshed, balanced and comfortably clean after every cleanse.

Is First Move suitable for dry skin?

Yes, First Move is suitable for dry and dehydrated skin. Many traditional cleansers can leave dry skin feeling tight, flaky or uncomfortable after washing, especially when they contain harsh cleansing agents.

First Move is designed to cleanse effectively while helping maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance. It removes dirt, sunscreen and buildup without over-stripping the skin, leaving it feeling soft, fresh and comfortable after cleansing.

If your skin is very dry, follow up with a nourishing moisturiser to help lock in hydration and support the skin barrier.

Is First Move suitable for oily and acne-prone skin?

Absolutely. First Move is formulated to effectively remove excess oil, sweat, sunscreen and pore-clogging buildup without making the skin feel stripped or irritated.

Over-cleansing with harsh face washes can sometimes cause the skin to produce even more oil in response. First Move helps deeply cleanse while still respecting the skin barrier, helping skin feel balanced and refreshed rather than overly dry.

Its lightweight cleansing system rinses clean without leaving behind heaviness or residue, making it suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types.

Is First Move suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, First Move is suitable for sensitive skin. Harsh cleansers can often disrupt the skin barrier and leave sensitive skin feeling irritated, red or uncomfortable after cleansing.

First Move is designed to cleanse gently while helping maintain skin comfort and balance. It removes impurities, excess oil and daily buildup without making the skin feel tight or overly dry.

After cleansing, skin feels clean, calm and refreshed without the stripped feeling commonly associated with strong cleansers.

Does First Move need to be followed with another cleanser?

No, First Move is designed to work effectively as a complete cleanser on its own. It thoroughly removes daily buildup, excess oil, sunscreen and impurities while rinsing clean without residue.

For most skin types, a single cleanse with First Move is enough for everyday use. However, if you wear very heavy makeup or personally prefer double cleansing, you can follow it with another gentle cleanser if desired.

In the morning, your cleansing routine can depend on your skin’s needs. Some people may prefer using First Move again, while others may choose a lighter cleanse or simply rinse with water.

Is First Move safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes, First Move can generally be used safely during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is formulated as a gentle daily cleanser and does not contain ingredients commonly avoided during pregnancy, such as retinoids.

The formula focuses on effective cleansing while maintaining skin comfort and balance, making it suitable for regular everyday use. However, if you have specific concerns or heightened skin sensitivity during pregnancy, it’s always best to consult your doctor for personalised guidance.
