Cleansers

What makes Korean cleansers different?

Korean cleansers are renowned for their innovative formulations and gentle approach to skincare. They prioritise hydration and maintaining the skin's natural pH balance, unlike harsh cleansers that can strip the skin of its essential oils. Our range includes unique textures and ingredients, such as fermented extracts and natural botanicals, delivering a luxurious cleansing experience.

What is an oil cleanser and how does it work?

An oil cleanser is a gentle yet powerful cleanser that dissolves oil-based impurities, such as makeup and sunscreen. It works on the principle that "like dissolves like," effectively removing sebum without stripping the skin's natural moisture. An oil based cleanser is especially useful for the double cleanse method.  

I have dry, sensitive skin. What type of cleanser is best for me?

If you have dry or sensitive skin, opt for a hydrating face cleanser. Look for cleansers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and glycerin, which replenish moisture and soothe irritation. Avoid harsh scrubs and foaming cleansers that can further dry out the skin. Try SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam or Purito Mighty Bamboo Cleanser.

I have oily skin. Which cleanser should I choose?

For oily skin, a salicylic acid cleanser is ideal. Salicylic acid effectively unclogs pores and controls excess sebum production, preventing breakouts. Look for lightweight, water-based cleansers that won't leave a greasy residue.  The best choice will be COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser.

Can a facial cleanser really improve my skin's texture?

Yes! A good Korean facial cleanser is the foundation of any skincare routine. By removing dead skin cells and impurities, it allows other skincare products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. Regular cleansing can lead to smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin.  

I wear heavy makeup daily. Which cleanser will remove it effectively?

For heavy makeup, we recommend starting with an oil cleanser to break down makeup and sunscreen. Follow with a water based cleanser to remove any remaining residue. This double cleansing method ensures a thorough cleanse without irritating the skin.
