Boticário Botik Vitamin C Antioxidant Facial Cleansing Gel – Purifies, Controls Excess Oil & Boosts Natural Radiance – 7.05 oz (200 g)

Boticário Botik Vitamin C Antioxidant Facial Cleansing Gel – 7.05 oz (200 g) is a refreshing daily face wash created in Brazil by O Boticário, the country's most iconic beauty house. Its lightweight gel texture whips into a rich, dense lather that lifts away excess oil, sunscreen residue and city grime, leaving skin feeling comfortably clean instead of tight.

The formula pairs 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stable vitamin C derivative, with niacinamide to help control shine and support a brighter, more even-looking complexion from the very first wash. Botik is the line where O Boticário brings together Swiss technology and high-performance actives, and this cleansing gel is its everyday first step.

Sourced in Brazil and shipped worldwide by MKPBR, it is suitable for all skin types, including combination and oily skin, and is a cruelty-free choice for anyone building an authentic Brazilian skincare routine.

Key Features:

• Vitamin C antioxidant cleansing: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stable vitamin C derivative, helps boost the skin's natural radiance while it cleanses.
• Niacinamide in the formula: supports a more even, healthy-looking tone and helps skin cope with daily environmental stress.
• Controls excess oil and shine: removes surface oiliness from the very first application for a fresh, soft-matte finish.
• Cleans without over-drying: helps keep the skin's protective barrier strengthened, so skin feels clean and comfortable, not stripped.
• Rich, dense foam from a gel: the refreshing gel texture transforms into a cushiony lather that rinses off completely.
• Suitable for all skin types: developed with combination and oily skin in mind, gentle enough for daily morning and evening use.
• Brazilian beauty, cruelty-free: made in Brazil by O Boticário and never tested on animals.

How To Use

1. Use in the morning or at night, on the face only.
2. Dispense the gel into the palm of your hand.
3. Add small amounts of water gradually until a rich, dense foam forms.
4. Apply to the face and massage thoroughly, avoiding the eye area.
5. Rinse off completely with water and follow with your serum and moisturizer.

Expert Tip: During the first week, use a small amount on alternate days so your skin can adjust to the vitamin C and niacinamide formula, then move to daily use.

O Boticário was founded in 1977 as a small compounding pharmacy in Curitiba, Paraná, and grew into the largest beauty franchise in Brazil and one of the most loved cosmetics brands in Latin America. Nearly five decades later, the company still develops and manufactures in Brazil, investing in research that blends local raw materials with international technology — as in the Botik line, which combines Swiss technology with high-performance actives. O Boticário is certified cruelty-free and does not test its products on animals.

FAQ

Is this cleansing gel strong enough to remove sunscreen and light makeup?

Yes. The dense foam removes sunscreen, excess oil and everyday grime. If you wear long-wear or waterproof makeup, use a cleansing oil or micellar water first, then follow with this gel as your second cleanse.

Can I use it if my skin is dry or sensitive?

It is formulated for all skin types, with combination and oily skin in mind. If your skin is dry or reactive, start with a small amount every other day for the first week, as recommended on the label, and always follow with a moisturizer.

Can I use it together with other vitamin C or acid products?

Yes. Because it is a rinse-off cleanser, it layers easily with vitamin C serums, niacinamide and exfoliating acids. Introduce one new active at a time so you can see how your skin responds.

How long does one 200 g tube last?

With one to two washes per day and a small pea-sized amount each time, most customers find a 7.05 oz (200 g) tube lasts roughly two to three months.

Is this the authentic Brazilian product, and do you ship internationally?

Yes. This is the genuine O Boticário Botik formula sourced in Brazil, and MKPBR ships worldwide. Please note the packaging and label text are printed in Portuguese.
