Conclusion

A foaming cleanser that combines quick-rinsing lightness with a smooth, comfortable after-feel.

The fine, lightweight foam spreads easily across the skin and rinses away quickly.

There is very little slimy residue during cleansing, making it one of the easier foam cleansers to use comfortably and efficiently.

At the same time, after rinsing, the skin feels smooth without excessive residue, leaving a silky, refined after-feel after towel drying.

It is also well suited to those who find traditional soap-based foaming cleansers overly rich or heavy. Despite its lightweight character, the foam still maintains a relatively noticeable thickness during cleansing compared with many low-irritation foaming cleansers filled in pump package.

This review is based on use on normal to oily skin (particularly an oil-prone T-zone). Those with dry skin may find the finish slightly fresher.

Our take

Evaluation Conditions

This review was conducted after acclimatisation for more than 15 minutes in an environment of 22°C ±3°C and 55% ±5% humidity.

The evaluation combines subjective experience with analysis based on ingredient characteristics and formulation design.

Overall, the finish feels smooth and silky, while areas prone to oiliness, such as the T-zone, remain relatively free from greasy residue.

Experience

Foam

Using the manufacturer’s recommended two pumps produces a light yet slightly bouncy foam.

foam

👉 The foam is fine-textured, uniform, and easy to spread evenly across the face.

foam zoom in

The foam amount per pump is approximately 1.02g, which is slightly above average compared with measurements from multiple foaming cleanser products.

During cleansing

The foam spreads smoothly and maintains a moderate sense of thickness despite its lightweight texture.

Among low-irritation foaming cleansers, it falls into the category that provides a relatively noticeable cushion during cleansing.

Key characteristics
  • Lightweight foam that spreads easily
  • Maintains a cushioned feel during cleansing
  • Rinses away quickly and easily
  • Fragrance-free with minimal scent

👉 The balance between quick rinsing and a lightly moisturised after-feel contributes to a comfortable cleansing experience.

After-feel

・Immediately after cleansing: slight moisturised feel → quickly transitions to a smooth, fresh finish

・After 3 minutes: very little tightness or discomfort

👉 The skin feel remains relatively stable over time, maintaining a smooth and refined finish.

How to use

・Use 2 pumps

・Apply starting from the T-zone

・Gently spread across the face

👉 Around areas such as the nose, gently work the foam in circular motions before spreading it across the entire face.

Best for

✔ A good fit if you :

・Are looking for a low-irritation focused formulation

・Want a quick and convenient foaming cleanser

✔ May Not Suit :

・Seek a very strong “squeaky clean” finish

・Enjoy fragranced cleansers

How it’s designed

Cleansing system

The formulation combines multiple surfactant types, including amino acid-based and amphoteric surfactants.

・Amino acid-based surfactants (Sodium N-Lauroyl-L-Aspartate Solution, Sodium N-Cocoyl-L-Glutamate)

・Amphoteric surfactants (Lauryl Hydroxy Sulfobetaine Solution)

👉 The formulation appears designed to balance cleansing performance with reduced skin stress.

In addition, the pH is adjusted to a slightly (weakly) acidic range close to that of healthy skin.

For more details on cleanser pH and its effects on the skin, please refer to the related article.

Why the finish feels smooth

  • Polyethylene Glycol 6000

👉 This ingredient may help support moisture retention while contributing to the smooth, even after-feel.

Formulation concept

Based on the brand’s “ceramide care” concept, the formulation is designed to cleanse while helping maintain skin hydration.

👉 In addition to surfactant selection, multiple formulation factors — including pH — appear to be adjusted with the aim of reducing stress on the skin.

👉 Patch-tested with the cooperation of individuals with dry and sensitive skin.

(This does not guarantee that irritation will not occur for all users.)

Appearance & Packaging

The pump head features a flat top design, making it easy to press.

pump

The pump structure is also similar to those used in the Bioré The Face series by Kao Corporation, suggesting that the packaging itself may also contribute to stabilising foam quality.

pump comparison

*Based on measurements across multiple products, foaming cleansers tend to dispense around 1g per pump.
