Why we love it
WHY WE LOVE IT
A great cleanser is the first step of every great skincare routine. Especially if you’re acne-prone, cleansing is essential to keep your skin in balance and prevent breakouts. Here’s why we’re obsessed with Cloud Wash!
IT’S BARRIER-FRIENDLY
Skin is never healthier than its barrier – it’s first line of defence against outer irritants. But many cleansers use harsh surfactants (cleansing agents) that can dry out or weaken your skin barrier. Cloud Wash is made to respect your oh-so-important barrier – your skin’s first line of defence against outer stress.
IT’S A CLEANSER FOR LAZY PEOPLE
Cloud Wash gets rid of makeup, excess sebum and daily dirt with minimum effort in one step. You can even use it on your eyes. Simply wash, rinse and go. Skin is left feeling sparkling clean, without being stripped or dry.
IT’S A NON-FOAMING JELLY
Because we wanted to create a cleanser that will be tolerated even by the most sensitive skin types, we went for non-foaming, micellar cleansing agents that lifts of daily grime without compromising the skin barrier. The bouncy, spreadable gel formula is everything!
IT’S PACKED WITH GOOD STUFF
The formula is jam-packed with hydrating glycerine, balancing and barrier-strengthening niacinamide and carefully extracted Centella Asiatica to soothe and calm.
IT’S KIND TO EVERYONE
Cloud Wash has a skin-neutral pH of 5.5 to ensure that the barrier is not disrupted. It’s formulated without any potentially irritating ingredients like sulphates (SLS/SLES), fragrance, essential oils and drying alcohols. And ofc it’s vegan and cruelty-free.
How to use
Massage thoroughly into wet skin to dissolve any makeup, excess oil and dirt. Rinse off. Use morning and night.
Safe to use on eyes. Also lash-extension safe!
TIPS FROM THE SKIN EXPERT
"Too hot water can dry out skin and weaken your oh-so-important barrier. Instead, use lukewarm water. And remember to have a seperate(private!) towel for your face and wash it every week – especially if you have acne-prone skin."
– Maria, Co-founder & Beauty Director
PS. If you work out, remember to wash your face after a sweaty gym session.
PS. Follow-up with Cloud Water for a pore-unclogging deep-cleanse.
Ingredients
HERE TO BRING YOU HAPPIER SKIN, ONE WASH AT A TIME!
MAGIC MICELLAR MAGNETS
Micelles are water- and oil-loving magic molecules that magnetically attratcts makeup, oil and pollution particles without drying out or irritating skin. Using ultra-gentle but effective micelles instead of harsh surfactants, Cloud Wash is tolerated by even the most sensitive skin types.
CENTELLA ASIATICA
If you know Common Clouds, you know that we LOVE Centella (also known as CICA). Ultra-calming, anti-inflammatory and redness-soothing, Centella is THE must-have ingredient for sensitive and moody skin types. In Cloud Wash we used a 2% clinically proven extract from the leaves that strengthens skin and give skin a healthy glows. Consider it yoga for your skin.
NIACINAMIDE (VITAMIN B3)
This multi-tasking superstar ingredient targets almost any concern you might have, no matter your skin type or age. A naturally anti-inflammatory ingredient that helps to balance sebum production and strengthen the skin barrier by increasing skin’s production of ceramides and important fatty acids.
GLYCERINE
What it lacks in glamour it makes up for in results. Healthy hydration levels are essential to skin health, and glycerine attracts and holds on to moisture, leaving your skin supple, bouncy and ready to stand against outer stress.
CERAMIDE NP
Skin-mimicking building bricks for your barrier – your skin’s first line of defense against unfriendly bacteria and pollutants. Happy barrier, happy skin.

CLOUD WATER FAQ
When do I use Cloud Water in my routine?
Cloud Water is a toner/essence-hybrid that is used as the first step after cleansing, before applying serum(s) and moisturiser.
How often should I use Cloud Water?
Many of our customers use Cloud Water daily, but just as many find that 2–3 times/week gives the best results. We also have customers who only use Cloud Water once a week. Skin and skincare is super-individual, and you’ll have to try your way to your skin’s ”sweet spot”!
However, if you’re a newbie to exfoliating actives, such as salicylic acid, or have very sensitive skin, about 2 times a week is a good place to start. Then you can increase to the level that makes your skin feel on top of the world!
Can I combine Cloud Water with my other Common Clouds products?
Yes, our products are made to work in synergy with each other. You can combine Cloud Water with all Common Clouds products, but if you are very sensitive or unaccustomed to active skincare, we recommend splitting Cloud Water (which contains BHA-acid) and Moon Balm (which contains a low level of retinol) into separate routines, such as morning and evening, at least initially. Otherwise, you’re free to mix and match!
Is it OK for teenagers to use Cloud Water?
If you've started to develop pimples, blackheads or oily skin, Cloud Water is the ideal product to adress common skin problems that come with the hormonal rollercoaster of puberty. Salicylic acid is a well-studied ingredient with proven positive effects on acne-prone skin of all ages, but it's important not to use it too often. You don’t want to risk over-exfoliating your skin, which can lead to other skin problems. Start by using Cloud Water 2 times a week, and gradually increase as needed (maximum once a day!).
Is Cloud Water also suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is! Salicylic acid is a natural anti-inflammatory, but some people may still find that formulas with salicylic acid irritates their skin. In Cloud Water, we used next-generation encapsulated salicylic acid, which virtually eliminates the risk of irritation because it’s ”drip-feeded” into skin in a controlled dose. Encapsulated salicylic acid also allows the toner to maintain a skin-neutral pH. Cloud Water also contains several soothing, redness-controlling ingredients that reduces irritation, as well as moisturising ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. If you have sensitive skin but still want to enjoy the magic of BHA acid, Cloud Water is a must!
Can I use Cloud Water when pregnant?
The small amounts of salicylic acid used in cosmetic products are considered safe. There’s a low concentration (2%) in the product, and you only use it on a small area of skin (the face) and it’s a topical product (e.g you don’t eat it), so most likely it’s fine to use Cloud Water a few times a week. However, as mothers ourselves we know the terror of the 3 am googling, so if you’re the worrying kind, we recommend to use Cloud Milk, which is made with azelaic acid, instead. Already used it? Don’t worry! There’s nothing that indicates that using cosmetics with salicylic acid poses any risk.
Does Cloud Water contain perfume?
No, all Common Cloud products are free from perfume and added fragrances.
