    Korean Oil, Foam and Gel Cleansers

    Korean cleansers come in a few formats. A cleansing oil is often used to dissolve makeup and impurities. The ingredient of Ginseng is likened to a herb of the gods in Korean history due to its medicinal properties and ability to quickly supply moisture and hydration to the skin. The Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil is a gentle makeup remover that cleanses away dirt and impurities while regulating excess sebum production.



    Foam cleansers are water-based, and the Medicube Zero Foam Cleanser is one to compare. If you prefer a gel, the COSRX Low-pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser 150ml is a gel option to compare, and you can browse more foaming and gel cleansers. The Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser is another to add to your list.



    How to Choose the Best Korean Cleanser

    The best Korean cleanser for you depends on your skin type and how you like to cleanse. Think about whether you want an oil to remove makeup, a foam or a gel for a water-based step, or both for a double cleanse. Korean cleansers often feature ingredients like rice water, known for its vitamins and amino acids that brighten and cleanse the skin, and centella asiatica, which has soothing properties beneficial for sensitive skin. You can read more about Korean skincare ingredients to compare formulas.



    Using Korean Cleansers in Your Routine

    Use your cleanser morning and evening, or keep the oil cleanser for the evening when you are removing makeup. Rinse with lukewarm water, pat your skin dry and follow with a toner, serum and moisturiser.



    Combining products from both Japanese and Korean skincare can be beneficial. For example, you might use a gentle Japanese oil cleanser for makeup removal followed by a Korean foaming cleanser. Check each product page for the directions and ingredient list, and patch test any new cleanser first if you have sensitive skin.

    FAQs on Korean Cleansers



    What is the double cleansing method in Korean skincare?

    The double cleansing method involves two steps: first, using an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and impurities; second, following up with a water-based or foaming cleanser to remove any residual dirt and oil, ensuring a thorough cleanse without stripping the skin.


    How do Japanese and Korean cleansers differ in their approach to skincare?

    Japanese cleansers often emphasise simplicity and gentleness, focusing on maintaining the skin’s natural balance with minimalistic routines. Korean cleansers, however, are part of more elaborate multi-step routines, incorporating innovative ingredients aimed at achieving specific skin goals like “glass skin.”


    Are Korean cleansers suitable for all skin types?

    Yes, Korean cleansers are formulated to cater to various skin types. For instance, there are gentle, hydrating cleansers for dry skin and deep-cleansing foams for oily or acne-prone skin. It’s essential to choose a cleanser that aligns with your specific skin needs.

    Disappointing

    | 8 days ago

    I was quite disappointed with this cleansing water. It specifically states in the instructions that it can be used without the need to rinse with water afterwards but I did not find this to be the case. It left my skin feeling so sticky that I definitely felt the need to rinse my face (twice) to get rid of the residue. The product has a pleasant fragrance and the packaging is fine. I've given it 2 stars because it did cleanse my face but I think there are far superior products available in this category.

    Clean and refreshed

    | 8 days ago

    A lovely, gentle and hydrating cleanser that leaves my skin feeling calm, clean and refreshed without stripping away moisture. I am always looking for skincare that gives extra hydration, especially with HA, so this is a beautiful addition to my routine.
