Collection: Korean Cleansers

Korean cleansers are the foundation of an effective skincare routine. Unlike harsh facial washes that strip the skin, Korean skincare focuses on gentle yet thorough cleansing that respects the skin barrier. In this collection, you’ll find authentic Korean cleansers designed to remove makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and impurities while keeping your skin balanced, hydrated, and calm.

Whether you prefer a refreshing gel cleanser, a rich foaming cleanser, or a nourishing oil cleanser, our Korean Cleansers collection includes products suitable for all skin types and concerns, from sensitive and acne-prone skin to dry and combination skin.

Why Korean Cleansers Are Different

Korean skincare is built around the idea that cleansing should support the skin, not damage it. That’s why Korean facial cleansers often feature low pH formulas, soothing botanical extracts, and skin-repairing ingredients. These cleansers effectively cleanse the skin without leaving it tight or irritated.

• Low pH formulas that help protect the skin barrier
• Gentle surfactants suitable for daily use
• Hydrating and calming ingredients like green plum, quinoa, and centella
• Perfect for both morning and evening routines

Types of Korean Cleansers in This Collection

Foaming Cleansers

Korean foaming cleansers create a soft, creamy lather that deeply cleanses pores while remaining gentle on the skin. They are ideal for normal, combination, and oily skin, as well as for removing daily impurities and light makeup.

Gel Cleansers

Gel cleansers offer a refreshing cleanse and are especially popular for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Their lightweight texture cleanses without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture balance.

Low pH Cleansers

Low pH Korean cleansers are designed to maintain the skin’s natural acidity, helping reduce irritation, breakouts, and dryness. They are an excellent choice for compromised or reactive skin.

Oil Cleansers

Oil cleansing is a key step in the Korean double cleansing method. Oil cleansers effectively dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and excess sebum without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
