Conclusion
This foaming cleanser stands out for its formulation, which combines an amino acid-based surfactant with soap and amphoteric surfactants to balance cleansing performance with the feel of the skin after rinsing.
While avoiding the pronounced tight, squeaky feel often associated with traditional soap cleansers, it still leaves a subtle "clean-rinsed" sensation that makes it easy to tell when the cleanser has been fully washed away.
The foam is light, airy and easy to spread across the face. Its fragrance-free formulation also makes it suitable for those who prefer products without added scent.
Note: This review is based on use on normal to oily skin (with oilier T-zone). Those with dry skin may find the finish slightly more on the fresh side.
Skin Finish
Evaluation conditions
This review was conducted after acclimatisation for at least 15 minutes in a controlled environment (22°C ±3°C / 55% ±5% humidity).
Assessment combines sensory experience with interpretation based on ingredient characteristics and formulation design.
The finish left very little residual oiliness, resulting in a natural, slightly fresh skin feel.
Tightness after cleansing was also relatively minimal, and the skin continued to feel comfortable even after several minutes.
Experience
Foam
Using the manufacturer's recommended three pumps produces a light, finely textured foam.
👉 The foam feels light and spreads easily across the face.
Each pump dispenses approximately 0.96g of foam, which is within the standard range for foaming cleansers.*
During cleansing
The foam spreads easily over the skin, although it is relatively light rather than thick or cushiony.
For the most comfortable cleansing experience, gently rolling the foam over the skin rather than applying pressure worked well.
Although rinsing speed is about average, the cleanser leaves a subtle "clean-rinsed" feel that makes it easy to recognise when rinsing is complete.

How it’s designed
Why it leaves a gentle "clean-rinsed" feel
The cleansing system combines:
・Amino acid-based surfactant: Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
・Soap: Potassium Cocoate
・Amphoteric surfactants: Lauryl Betaine, Cocamidopropyl Betaine
👉 The formulation appears to use an amino acid-based surfactant as the primary cleansing agent, supported by soap and amphoteric surfactants to balance cleansing performance with foam quality.
The amount of soap also appears to have been carefully adjusted, helping create a gentle squeaky-clean sensation without the stronger tightness often associated with traditional soap-based cleansers.
In use, this resulted in a finish where it was easy to recognise when rinsing was complete.
Why it may also help remove make-up
・PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate
👉 This non-ionic surfactant is expected to have good affinity for make-up.
Its inclusion suggests that the formulation may have been designed to assist with removing make-up as well as everyday facial cleansing.
Note: Make-up removal performance was not directly evaluated in this review. The discussion above is based on ingredient composition and formulation design.
Formulation Concept
A formulation designed to balance the refreshing feel of a soap-based cleanse with the comfort needed for everyday use.
The primary cleansing system is based on an amino acid-based surfactant, supported by soap and amphoteric surfactants to fine-tune cleansing performance, foam quality and the tactile feel after rinsing.
The soap level also appears to have been adjusted to provide a gentle squeaky-clean sensation without the stronger tightness commonly associated with traditional soap cleansers.
The inclusion of Glycerylamidoethyl Methacrylate/Stearyl Methacrylate Copolymer, which has a structure that mimics ceramides, also suggests consideration for supporting a healthy skin barrier.
👉 Overall, the formulation appears to preserve the refreshing character of soap while aiming for a more balanced, everyday cleansing experience.

Appearance & Packaging
Despite its compact appearance, the bottle contains 200mL, making it relatively large compared with many foaming facial cleansers.
It is also refillable, helping reduce the frequency of replacements and making it practical for long-term daily use.
👉 The packaging strikes a good balance between generous capacity and everyday usability.
*Based on measurements across multiple products, foaming cleansers tend to dispense around 1g per pump.
