Video reviews
Best for
  • • Sensitive, combination or acne-prone skin wanting a gentle daily wash
  • • A morning cleanse or second step after an oil cleanser
  • • Budget-conscious K-beauty beginners
  • • Dry or sensitive skin that reacts to fragrance and sulfates
  • • Retinoid users who need a non-stripping wash
  • • A gentle morning cleanse
Strengths
  • Mildly acidic pH and a sulfate-free surfactant base
  • Light lather that bloggers say leaves skin clean but not tight
  • Low price for 150 ml
  • Free of fragrance, sulfates, soap and parabens, and allergy tested
  • Ceramide-3, niacinamide and glycerin support the moisture barrier while cleansing
  • A creator on tretinoin reported a big difference after almost a month of use
Watch-outs
  • Some Reddit users with dry or dehydrated skin found it stripping
  • Tea-tree scent is medicinal and lingers briefly
  • Recommended by the brand for normal to dry skin, so oily skin may prefer a foaming cleanser
  • Cream texture is not designed to foam, so it lacks the lather some people expect
