SUNGBOON EDITOR Centell Lacto AC Less Clearing Foam Cleanser 150ml — Korean Low-pH BHA Cleanser for Acne-Prone Skin
The Centell Lacto AC Less Clearing Foam Cleanser is a gentle, low-pH foaming cleanser made for acne-prone and combination skin. It pairs a 0.5% salicylic acid (BHA) for clearing pores with a full centella (cica) complex to keep things calm, so it deep-cleans sebum and buildup without the tight, stripped feeling harsh acne washes often leave.
The name says it all: “AC Less” for clearer, less acne-prone skin, and “Lacto” for the mild, skin-respecting approach. Gentle amino-acid and glucoside cleansers do the work, buffered by soothing botanicals and a lactobacillus ferment.
What the Clearing Foam Does
- Clears pores. A 0.5% BHA (salicylic acid) dissolves oil and debris inside pores to reduce blackheads and breakouts.
- Removes dead skin and sebum. It lifts away buildup and excess oil for clearer, smoother-looking skin.
- Soothes as it cleans. A full centella complex (madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic and madecassic acid) calms acne-prone, easily irritated skin.
- Respects the barrier. Gentle amino-acid cleansers and a low pH clean without stripping or over-drying.
Who the Clearing Foam Is For
- Acne-prone, oily or combination skin that wants a clarifying but gentle wash
- Skin with clogged pores, blackheads or excess sebum
- Anyone who finds acne cleansers too drying and wants a low-pH, soothing option
- Breakout-prone skin that is also sensitive and needs calming

Key Ingredients in the Clearing Foam
- Salicylic Acid (0.5% BHA) — an oil-soluble acid that clears inside pores, ideal for blackheads and breakouts.
- Full Centella Complex — madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic and madecassic acid to soothe. See our centella guide.
- Gentle Amino-Acid & Glucoside Cleansers — clean thoroughly without stripping.
- Phytosphingosine + Willow Bark + Lactobacillus Ferment — barrier and clarifying support.
Texture and Finish
A rich, creamy foam with dense bubbles that rinses clean and leaves skin fresh and comfortable, not squeaky or tight. There is a light natural scent from the jasmine and vanilla.
Why You’ll Love It
- Clears without stripping. BHA power in a low-pH, gentle base.
- Soothing built in. A full centella complex calms breakout-prone skin.
- Barrier-respecting. Amino-acid cleansers keep skin comfortable.
- Rich, satisfying foam that rinses clean.
- Made for acne-prone skin that is also sensitive.
How to Use the Clearing Foam
- Take a small amount into wet hands and lather with a little water into a rich foam.
- Massage over damp skin, focusing on oily or congested areas. Avoid the eyes.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Use morning and evening. As a BHA cleanser it stays on skin only briefly, so it is gentle enough for daily use — wear sunscreen in the day.
How to Add It to Your Routine
This is your first step: cleanse → tone → treatment → moisturizer → sunscreen. It pairs naturally with the Centell Lacto Skin Barrier Relaxing Cream to soothe and rebuild after cleansing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the salicylic acid work in a wash-off cleanser?
Partly. A BHA in a rinse-off cleanser has limited contact time compared with a leave-on product, so its main benefit here is helping clear the pore surface and remove oil and debris during the wash. For deeper, ongoing BHA benefits, a leave-on toner or serum does more. Think of this as a clarifying, pore-clearing cleanse that soothes at the same time, rather than a full BHA treatment on its own.
Can I use it twice a day, or is that too much BHA?
Twice a day is fine for most acne-prone skin, because the BHA rinses off quickly and the low-pH, gentle base is not stripping. If your skin feels tight or dry, drop to once a day, in the evening, and use a plain gentle cleanser in the morning. Pair it with a good moisturizer and daily sunscreen, and let your skin guide the frequency.
It contains alcohol — will it dry out my skin?
There is some alcohol in the formula, but in a rinse-off cleanser it has little chance to dry the skin, and the gentle amino-acid cleansers, low pH, and soothing centella are designed to keep skin comfortable rather than tight. Most people, including those with combination and oily skin, tolerate it well. If your skin is very dry or alcohol-sensitive, follow with a good moisturizer and see how it feels.
Will it get rid of my acne?
It can help as part of a routine — keeping pores clear of oil and debris and calming irritation is genuinely useful for breakout-prone skin. But a cleanser alone rarely clears acne on its own; leave-on treatments and, for persistent or severe acne, a dermatologist do the bigger work. Use this as a supportive, clarifying first step rather than a standalone cure, and give any routine several weeks to show results.
Is it okay to use with other exfoliating acids or retinol?
Usually yes, since the BHA here rinses off. But if you already use strong leave-on acids or retinol, watch for signs of over-exfoliation like tightness, flaking or stinging, and scale back if needed. A simple approach is this cleanser daily plus your leave-on active a few nights a week, not everything at maximum strength at once. Sunscreen every morning is essential when combining exfoliating ingredients.
