Hanyul Artemisia 2-in-1 Mask-to-Foam Cleanser — Soothing Hydrating BHA Cleanse for Pores

Designed for daily use, this hybrid cleanser blends traditional Korean artemisia (mugwort) extracts with modern actives: a BHA component for gentle pore exfoliation, a blend of ten hyaluronic acid variants for layered hydration, and glycerin to maintain the skin’s moisture balance. The texture shifts from a bouncy mask to a creamy foam, offering a tactile cleansing experience that aims to remove impurities without over-drying.

How does the mask-to-foam action work for cleansing?

The formula starts dense and elastic so you can massage it across the face, allowing the mask phase to cling to debris and excess sebum. With added water, it transforms into a smooth foam that rinses away residues and leaves a comfortable finish. This two-step texture change combines mechanical lifting of impurities with gentle surfactant action.

• Stretchy mask phase lifts trapped dirt and sebum
• Easy-to-rinse foam dissolves and removes residues
• Non-abrasive finish suitable for daily routines

Will it help with congested pores and mild texture?

The product contains a mild BHA and artemisia powder to support unclogging pores and refining skin texture without gritty exfoliants. These ingredients work alongside calming artemisia extracts to reduce the appearance of congestion while keeping the skin calm. Results will vary by skin type and frequency of use.

• BHA gently exfoliates inside pores
• Artemisia powder assists physical clarification
• Soothing artemisia-cica extract reduces irritation risk

How does it keep skin hydrated while cleansing?

Instead of stripping moisture, the formula includes glycerin and ten forms of hyaluronic acid to restore and hold water across multiple layers of the skin. The foam phase cleans without leaving a tight, dry sensation so moisture feels balanced after rinsing. This makes it suitable for users who want a clarified yet hydrated finish.

• Glycerin maintains surface hydration during wash
• Multi-weight hyaluronic acids support short- and long-term moisture
• Leaves skin feeling soft rather than taut

Is this gentle enough for daily use and sensitive skin?

The formulation emphasizes soothing components—artemisia-cica complex and a soft foam texture—designed to be mild rather than abrasive. Clinical-style instrumental testing (limited-subject) reported immediate impurity reduction and positive tolerance, while self-assessment indicated daily-use comfort among participants. Still, patch testing is recommended for highly reactive skin.

• Dermatologically tested for tolerance in small trials
• Non-scrubby, soft foam avoids harsh mechanical exfoliation
• Suitable for many skin types with standard patch testing advised
