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.
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.
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.
