SK-II Foaming Facial Cleanser 3.6 oz — Gentle Hydrating Face Wash with PITERA™ for Radiant, Non‑Drying Cleansing

This gentle foaming cleanser creates a fine, creamy lather that removes surface oils, light makeup, and environmental residues without stripping the skin. Formulated with SK-II’s signature PITERA™, plus amino acids and willow bark extract, it aims to leave skin feeling soft, even and refreshed. The texture transforms into a luxurious foam, combining cleansing performance with conditioning benefits for everyday use.

How does this cleanser gently remove makeup and impurities?

The formula foams into a soft, billowy lather that helps dissolve and lift light makeup, sunscreen and daily grime from the skin’s surface. It cleans without abrasive scrubbing, relying on surfactants balanced with conditioning agents to keep the skin barrier intact.

• Fine-textured foam that reaches pores without over-drying
• Removes light makeup and daily pollutants effectively
• Rinses clean for a non-greasy finish

What key ingredients support hydration and skin texture?

Over 90% of the formula is PITERA™, a fermented bio-ingredient rich in vitamins, amino acids and minerals that support skin resilience. White willow extract provides gentle exfoliation and sebum-balancing benefits while amino acids help maintain hydration and an even skin pH.

• PITERA™ for nutrient support and smoother-looking skin
• White willow extract for mild exfoliation and calming
• Amino acids to support moisture retention and comfort

How do I use the SK-II Foaming Facial Cleanser in my routine?

Use after a cleansing oil or makeup remover for heavier makeup, or alone for daily cleansing. Dispense a pearl-sized amount, work into a foam with water, massage over face and neck in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

• Apply to damp skin and create a light lather
• Massage gently to ensure complete cleansing without irritation
• Follow with SK-II essence and moisturizer for best results

Will this cleanser suit sensitive or dry skin types?

The formula is designed to be conditioning and is suitable for all skin types, including dry and sensitive complexions, because it focuses on cleansing without stripping moisture. However, patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin due to botanical extracts.

• Conditioning profile helps preserve the skin’s natural barrier
• Non-tightening finish that feels velvety and comfortable
• Gentle surfactants minimize irritation risk when used as directed

Who is this for: SK-II Foaming Facial Cleanser is a good fit for anyone seeking a daily face wash that balances effective cleansing with hydrating, skincare-forward ingredients. It’s particularly useful for people who appreciate science-backed, J‑Beauty inspired routines and want a cleanser that prepares skin for serums and moisturizers without leaving it dry or taut.
