Conclusion
One of the standout features of this cleanser is how the foam becomes denser and more cushiony as it is worked across the skin. The fine foam dispensed from the pump gradually transforms into a richer, more compact lather, helping maintain cushioning during cleansing and reducing friction on the skin.
Despite containing soap-based cleansing ingredients, it leaves relatively little feeling of tightness after washing. Immediately after cleansing, the skin feels moisturised, before gradually transitioning to a smoother, silkier finish.
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.

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 felt well balanced, leaving a comfortable level of moisture without excessive residue or heaviness.
Immediately after cleansing, the skin felt moisturised. Over time, this settled into a smoother, silkier skin feel, while noticeable tightness remained relatively minimal.
Experience
Foam
Using the manufacturer's recommended three pumps produced a fine, dense foam.
👉 The foam has good elasticity and a substantial feel.
As the foam is worked across the face using gentle circular motions, it gradually becomes denser and more compact.
Foam output measured approximately 1.02g per pump, which places it on the higher side compared with many foaming facial cleansers.
During cleansing
The foam feels substantial without becoming overly stiff, making it easy to spread evenly across the face.
During rinsing, a slight moisturising feel remains on the skin, resulting in average rinse-off performance.

How it’s designed
Why the foam feels so fine
This formula combines:
・Amphoteric surfactants (Lauryl Betaine)
・Soap (Arginine Cocoate, Lauric Acid, Myristic Acid,Sodium Methyltaurate , Potassium Hydroxide)
👉 This combination may contribute to a resilient foam structure with good elasticity and resistance to collapse.
Why the finish feels moisturised yet smooth
The formula contains multiple moisturising ingredients, including:
・Sorbitol
・Glycerin
・DPG
・BG
・Sodium Hyaluronate
・Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
In addition,:
・Polyquaternium-7
may help reduce the squeaky or tight feeling sometimes associated with soap, contributing to a more comfortable after-feel.
👉 Overall, the formulation appears designed with post-cleansing comfort in mind.
Formulation Concept
A formulation designed to balance the cleansing power and foam quality of soap with a more comfortable after-feel.
By combining amphoteric surfactants, soap, multiple moisturising agents and skin-conditioning ingredients, the formula appears intended to minimise the tightness and squeaky feel often associated with soap-based cleansers.
👉 One of the defining characteristics of this formulation is its ability to deliver the benefits of soap cleansing while maintaining a relatively comfortable skin feel afterwards.
Another notable ingredient is Bis-Ethoxydiglycol Cyclohexane 1,4-Dicarboxylate, which has been reported to support the penetration of certain active ingredients¹. Its inclusion may suggest consideration of the skincare steps that follow cleansing.
Appearance & Packaging
The bottle uses the brand's signature blue colour scheme, creating a clean and consistent appearance alongside other cleansers in the range.
The pump dispenser makes it easy to dispense a consistent amount of product and allows the cleanser to be used immediately without any manual lathering.
👉 The packaging focuses not only on appearance but also on ease of everyday use.
*Based on measurements across multiple products, foaming cleansers tend to dispense around 1g per pump.
