More than just prep!
I got this for the skin prep but stayed for the skincare.
I loved this so much, I cut my routine and my skincare bill in half. This does the job of all of them.

Cleanse & Moisturize Kit | Japanese Cleansing Oil + Water Balm
The Cleanse & Moisturize Kit by Sonia Roselli Beauty is a two-step Japanese skincare and makeup preparation routine designed to gently remove makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and daily impurities while replenishing moisture for softer, smoother, more comfortable skin. Featuring Japanese Cleansing Oil and Water Balm Gel-Cream Moisturizer & Makeup Prep, this skincare duo combines effective facial cleansing with lightweight hydration and moisture-barrier support.
Designed for all skin types, including dry, dehydrated, oily, normal, and combination skin, the kit addresses common concerns such as tightness after washing, dry patches, rough texture, and foundation that looks cakey, flaky, or uneven. It is particularly useful for customers seeking a cleanser that removes makeup without leaving skin feeling stripped and a moisturizer that also prepares skin for smoother-looking makeup.
What's Included
Japanese Cleansing Oil | 150 mL
A Japanese oil-based facial cleanser and makeup remover that dissolves sunscreen, long-wear foundation, excess sebum, and daily buildup without aggressive scrubbing. Its lightweight cleansing oils transform into a milky emulsion when water is added, allowing impurities to rinse away while leaving skin feeling clean, soft, and comfortable.
The formula contains papain, a papaya-derived enzyme that supports gentle surface exfoliation, along with Japanese cherry blossom leaf extract, green tea extract, hydrolyzed rice extract, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate to provide antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits.
Japanese Cleansing Oil is suitable for use as a standalone facial cleanser, so a second cleansing step is not generally necessary. It is particularly beneficial for removing makeup and sunscreen at the end of the day without the excessive rubbing associated with makeup wipes or repeated cleansing.
Water Balm Gel-Cream Moisturizer & Makeup Prep | 60 g
A lightweight Japanese gel-cream facial moisturizer that provides hydration, helps support the skin's moisture barrier, and creates a smoother-feeling surface for foundation and concealer.
Formulated with glycerin, Ceramide 3, Sodium PCA, betaine, hydrolyzed silk, and other skin-conditioning ingredients, Water Balm helps maintain skin moisture, soften the appearance of dryness, and improve skin suppleness.
Unlike heavy moisturizers that may feel greasy under makeup, Water Balm delivers comfortable moisture in a lightweight gel-cream texture. It functions as an everyday facial moisturizer and makeup preparation step, helping foundation apply more smoothly and reducing the visible appearance of dry areas that can contribute to cakey or patchy makeup.
What the Cleanse & Moisturize Kit Does
Removes Makeup and Sunscreen: Dissolves everyday makeup, long-wear foundation, sunscreen, and accumulated impurities without harsh scrubbing.
Cleanses Without Stripping: Helps avoid the tight, uncomfortable feeling often associated with aggressive facial cleansing.
Replenishes Moisture: Provides lightweight moisturizing ingredients that help keep skin soft, supple, and comfortable.
Supports the Moisture Barrier: Water Balm contains Ceramide 3 and other moisturizing ingredients that support the skin's protective moisture barrier and help reduce moisture loss.
Smooths the Appearance of Dry Texture: Helps soften dry, rough-feeling areas so skin looks and feels smoother.
Prepares Skin for Makeup: Creates a moisturized surface that helps foundation and concealer apply more evenly and look more natural.
Simplifies Daily Skincare: Combines cleansing and moisturizing essentials into two easy steps without requiring an elaborate skincare routine.
Who Is This Kit For?
The Cleanse & Moisturize Kit is suitable for customers who:
-
Experience dry, tight, or uncomfortable-feeling skin after washing their face.
-
Want to remove makeup and sunscreen without harsh cleansing or excessive rubbing.
-
Have foundation that clings to dry patches, looks cakey, or emphasizes rough texture.

Skincare and Skin Prep in One Simple Routine
The Cleanse & Moisturize Kit addresses two connected aspects of daily skincare: removing makeup and impurities without leaving skin feeling stripped, and maintaining moisture to help create a smoother surface for complexion makeup.
Cleansing removes the makeup, sunscreen, and buildup accumulated throughout the day. Moisturizing afterward helps maintain hydration, comfort, and suppleness.
When skin feels dry or rough, foundation may cling to visible dry areas, emphasize fine lines, or appear patchy. Water Balm helps moisturize and condition the skin before makeup application, supporting a smoother, more natural-looking finish.
This kit is not a complete exfoliation or intensive treatment system. It provides two foundational skincare steps that can be used independently or alongside other Sonia Roselli Beauty products, including Water Elixir, Water Oil, and Sexapeel Gommage.
Formulation and Ingredient Considerations
Both products are manufactured in Japan.
Japanese Cleansing Oil is a rinse-off formula containing botanical extracts and naturally aromatic ingredients, including eucalyptus, bergamot, and citrus. It is not fragrance-free.
Water Balm is a fragrance-free leave-on moisturizer containing humectants, Ceramide 3, botanical extracts, fermented ingredients, soy-derived ingredients, and hydrolyzed silk.
The complete kit should not be described as fragrance-free, vegan, hypoallergenic, or guaranteed non-comedogenic without product-specific substantiation.
The Sonia Roselli Beauty Approach
Created by professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician Sonia Roselli, Sonia Roselli Beauty combines skincare and makeup preparation in routines designed to make everyday skincare simpler and complexion makeup look better.
The Cleanse & Moisturize Kit provides the cleansing and moisturizing essentials for skin that feels clean, comfortable, hydrated, and ready for makeup.
Primary Outcome: Clean, soft, moisturized skin with a smoother-feeling surface for more natural-looking makeup.
Routine: Cleanse → Moisturize.
Product Type: Japanese skincare cleansing and moisturizing duo, daily skincare essentials, makeup prep, and skincare replenishment kit.

FAQs
We get it. Putting oil on your face sounds like the last thing you'd want to do if you're prone to breakouts.
But Japanese Cleansing Oil isn't a leave-on facial oil. It dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil, then turns milky when you add water so you can rinse it away.
No cleanser can guarantee zero breakouts, but oil cleansing isn't automatically bad for oily or acne-prone skin.
That's exactly what we don't want.
Japanese Cleansing Oil turns into a milky wash when you add water, allowing it to rinse away without a heavy, oily coating.
The trick? Don't skip the water step. Massage with wet fingertips until the oil turns milky, then rinse thoroughly.
No! Your skin shouldn't feel like it's two sizes too small after washing your face.
That squeaky-clean feeling can mean your cleanser is removing more than you need.
Japanese Cleansing Oil removes makeup and sunscreen without aggressive scrubbing. Follow with Water Balm to keep skin soft, moisturized, and comfortable.
Not necessarily.
Japanese Cleansing Oil is designed to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup in one cleanse.
If you enjoy double cleansing, that's fine. But you don't need to add another cleanser just because you used an oil.
Yes. Japanese Cleansing Oil is designed to dissolve long-wear foundation, sunscreen, and many waterproof makeup formulas.
Massage it onto dry skin and give it time to break everything down. For heavier makeup, add another pump rather than scrubbing harder.
Then add water, massage until milky, and rinse.
Because moisturizer isn't always the whole answer.
Foundation can look cakey when it catches on dry patches, sits over rough texture, or doesn't work well with the products underneath.
Water Balm provides lightweight moisture that helps skin feel smoother before makeup. If dead skin buildup is also a problem, you may need a separate exfoliating step like Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel.
Water Balm is designed to work underneath makeup, not leave your face covered in a heavy layer of cream.
Start with a pea-sized amount, press it into your skin, and give it about 60 seconds to settle before sunscreen.
Too many layers, too much product, or incompatible formulas can still cause pilling, so keep your routine simple.
Maybe not!
Water Balm is both a moisturizer and a makeup-prep product. It helps create a smoother, more moisturized surface for foundation.
If your main concern is foundation clinging to dryness or looking cakey, you may find Water Balm gives you the preparation you need without another primer.
It depends on what your skin reacts to.
Water Balm is fragrance-free, but Japanese Cleansing Oil contains naturally aromatic botanicals, including eucalyptus, bergamot, and citrus.
If those ingredients trigger your skin, this cleanser may not be the right choice.
We recommend reviewing the ingredient lists and patch-testing first.
Sonia has rosacea and she can tolerate it but every skin is different.
We have a 30 day money back guarantee.
Not if your goal is simply to cleanse and moisturize.
At night, remove your makeup and sunscreen with Japanese Cleansing Oil, then apply Water Balm.
In the morning, use Water Balm followed by sunscreen and makeup if you wear it.
If you need help with stubborn dry patches, flaky texture, or deeper dehydration, you can add targeted skincare later.
You don't need a 10-step routine. You need products that address what your skin actually needs.
