Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam hydrating gel-to-foam cleanser, Refill — Moisturizing, Softening Daily Face Wash

This Korean daily cleanser transforms from a silky gel into a cushiony foam that deeply cleans pores without the tight, stripped feeling common to harsher washes. Formulated with a herbal Hydra Capture Complex plus mulberry leaf and mountain yam extracts, the formula targets hydration and surface softness so skin looks brighter and feels comfortable after each wash. Clinically tested on a small consumer panel, the cleanser delivered high rates of perceived gentleness, softness, and moisture retention, and it is widely used as part of both single-step routines and the traditional Korean double-cleansing ritual.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and impurities without drying out skin?

The formula starts as a gel that spreads easily to dissolve surface oils and light makeup, then foams into a soft lather that lifts impurities from pores. Mild surfactants and humectant-rich botanical extracts work together to cleanse while helping the skin keep water.

• Gel-to-foam texture that dissolves oil, sunscreen, and light makeup.
• Hydra Capture Complex with four herbal extracts to preserve moisture.
• Soft cushiony lather for deep pore contact without harsh friction.

Will this cleanser suit my sensitive or dry skin?

Yes — the product is crafted to be non-stripping and gentle, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dryer complexions. The botanical blend focuses on soothing and hydration rather than aggressive exfoliation.

• Formulated for daily use with a calming herbal base.
• Clinically reported high rates of perceived gentleness and moisture retention.
• Use lukewarm water and a light massage to avoid irritation.

How should I incorporate it into my skincare routine?

You can use it as a single-step morning and evening cleanser or as the second step in a double-cleanse routine after an oil-based makeup remover. It rinses clean and preps skin for serums and moisturizers by leaving a comfortable, hydrated surface.

• Mornings: single cleanse to remove night-time products and oils.
• Evenings: follow an oil cleanser for heavy makeup, then use this gel-to-foam wash.
• Pat dry and follow immediately with your favorite treatment and moisturizer.

What results can I expect with regular use?

Regular use should leave your skin feeling softer, visibly refreshed, and more comfortable after cleansing. Users in a short consumer study reported noticeable improvements in softness and moisturized feel right after cleansing.

• Softer skin texture and a radiant-looking surface.
• Less tightness compared with traditional foam cleansers.
• Preps skin effectively for follow-on skincare products.

Who is this for: Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam is ideal for anyone seeking a mild yet effective daily facial cleanser that balances thorough cleansing with hydration. It suits people who prefer gentler Korean skincare textures, those who follow double cleansing, and users with normal, combination, dry, or sensitive skin looking to cleanse without compromising moisture or comfort.
