Key actives
Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extractplant extract
Quinoa seed extract. It carries complete plant protein, saponins and minerals and is used as a conditioning extract. The name on the box points at it, and it is named fourth on this gel cleanser's own ingredient list.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. It is named twenty-first on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract.
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extractplant extract
Tea Tree Leaf Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is far milder and much less aromatic. It is used in formulas for blemish-prone skin. The panel names it ninth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is named thirteenth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. It is named sixteenth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract.
How to use
- Massage over damp skin in circular motions for thirty to sixty seconds, working up a light lather if the formula foams, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Where does this gel cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this gel cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market gel cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract and all. We match this gel cleanser to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract?
Allantoin, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this gel cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Centella Asiatica Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract and Glycine.

How it works
The Quinoa One Step Balanced Gel Cleanser is a 180ml gel cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. The plant extract it is built around is Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract, named fourth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the gel cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cleanser AXIS-Y sells in Korea, Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this gel cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract on the list.
- Introduce this gel cleanser on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract rather than to three changes at once.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
