Boticário Botik Cica Panthenol & Ceramides Gentle Facial Cleansing Gel – 7.05 oz (200 g)
- Cleanses the face of makeup, excess oil and everyday build-up.
- Rinses off completely with water, without leaving skin feeling tight.
- Covers the cleansing step of a morning and evening routine.
- Offers a fragrance-free, colourant-free option for anyone who prefers a neutral wash.
- Acts as the rinse-off format of the Botik Cica sub-line.
Made for adults 18+ who want a gentle everyday face wash, including people whose skin feels reactive or easily uncomfortable and anyone who prefers a formula with no added fragrance. It is not a remover for long-wear or waterproof makeup (use an oil or a micellar water first), it is not a leave-on product, and it is not for use around the eyes. Skip it if you have a known sensitivity to coconut-derived surfactants, soy-derived lecithin or sunflower seed oil, and do not apply it to irritated or broken skin. It is not intended for children.

With damp skin, dispense a small amount of product into your hands and spread it over the whole face, massaging well. Do not use on the eye area. Then rinse off completely with running water. Use twice a day, morning and evening, as part of your daily routine.
- 200 g pump bottle; the gel itself is clear and colourant-free, so it will not stain towels or fabric.

- Brazilian domestic packaging, so the label text is printed in Portuguese.
The formula pairs four mild coconut-derived surfactants with glycerin and panthenol, so the lather lifts oil and makeup while the wash still feels soft rather than squeaky. Cica sits alongside them as the botanical signature of the sub-line, and the ceramides, cholesterol and phytosphingosine appear at the tail of the list as lipids also found naturally in skin. Because this is a rinse-off step, what matters is the feel it leaves behind: a clean face that does not tighten, ready for whatever leave-on step you already use, such as the Botik Cica cream.

Learn moreBoticário Botik Cica Panthenol & Ceramides Gentle Facial Cleansing Gel – 7.05 oz (200 g) is a soap-free daily face wash from Botik, the dermocosmetic line of O Boticário. Made in Brazil, it turns from a clear gel into a soft, low-foam lather that lifts away makeup, excess oil and everyday grime, then rinses off without leaving skin feeling tight.
The formula is built around Cica (Centella Asiatica) and Panthenol, two cosmetic ingredients long used in gentle cleansers, together with Ceramides NP, AP and EOP, Cholesterol and Phytosphingosine. There is no added fragrance and no colourant in the ingredient list, so the product has a neutral scent and a clear, colourless gel appearance.
This is the rinse-off cleansing step of the Brazilian Botik Cica sub-line for adults 18+. It is a different format from the Botik Cica Micellar Water (200 ml, no-rinse liquid cleanser) and from the Botik Cica face cream (30 g, leave-on moisturiser) — this one is the 200 g pump-bottle gel you use at the sink, morning and night.
Key Features:
- Gel-to-lather texture: a clear, lightweight gel that spreads easily over damp skin and works up into a soft, cushiony foam with a small amount of product.
- Cleanses without a tight after-feel: washes away makeup, excess oil and daily build-up, and rinses away completely with running water.
- Cica and Panthenol as ingredients: Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol are classic soothing-feel cosmetic ingredients, included here for a gentle, comfortable wash.
- Ceramides, Cholesterol and Phytosphingosine: skin-identical lipids that are widely used in the gentle-cleanser category and sit high enough in this formula to be listed on the label.
- Fragrance-free and colourant-free: no Parfum and no CI colour index pigments appear anywhere in the INCI list.
- Generous 200 g pump bottle: a full-size, one-hand pump format sized for twice-daily use, at the sink or in a travel bag.
- Brazilian beauty, cruelty-free: made in Brazil by O Boticário, a certified cruelty-free brand that does not test its products on animals.
How To Use
- Start with damp skin — wet your face with water.
- Dispense a small amount of product into your hands.
- Spread it over the whole face, massaging well. Do not use on the eye area.
- Rinse off completely with running water.
- Use twice a day, morning and evening, as part of your daily routine.
Expert Tip: Apply it to skin that is damp rather than dripping wet — a little water helps the gel spread and lather, while too much water thins it out and you end up using more product than you need. Follow with your usual leave-on step while skin is still slightly damp.
Ingredients (Highlights)
- Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica): a botanical extract from the gotu kola plant, one of the most recognisable ingredients in gentle Asian- and Brazilian-style cleansing formulas.
- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): a humectant ingredient used across the cleanser category for a soft, comfortable after-feel.
- Ceramide EOP, Ceramide AP and Ceramide NP: three lipid ingredients naturally present in skin, included here alongside Cholesterol and Phytosphingosine.
- Glycerin: a classic humectant that helps the gel feel less stripping than a plain surfactant wash.
- Coconut-derived surfactants: Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Coco-Glucoside and PEG-9 Cocoate provide the mild lather — see the allergen note below.
- Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Tocopherol: a plant oil and vitamin E, both present at the tail end of the list.

FAQ
Is this the same product as the Botik Cica Micellar Water or the Botik Cica cream?
No. They are three different formats in the same Botik Cica sub-line. This 200 g product is a rinse-off gel cleanser you use with water at the sink. The Micellar Water (200 ml) is a no-rinse liquid you sweep on with a cotton pad, and the Cica face cream (30 g) is a leave-on moisturiser. Many people use the gel and the cream at different steps of the same routine.
Does it have a scent?
No fragrance is added — there is no Parfum in the ingredient list, and no declared fragrance allergens such as Limonene or Linalool. Any faint smell comes from the raw materials themselves.
How much should I use, and how long will a bottle last?
One to two pumps is usually enough for the whole face. Used twice a day at that amount, the 200 g bottle typically lasts a couple of months, though this varies with how much you dispense.
Will it remove makeup?
It lifts light makeup and everyday build-up well. For long-wear or waterproof makeup, most people prefer to remove that first with an oil or a micellar water, then use this gel as the second cleansing step.
Is the packaging in Portuguese?
Yes. This is the Brazilian domestic version, so the bottle text is in Portuguese (with Spanish and English product names printed on the front). The full ingredient list and directions are translated for you above.
