YUMU Licorice Deep Pore Facial Cleanser — Hydrating Gel Cleanser 150ml, Centella & Ceramide for Blackhead Removal

YUMU Licorice Deep Pore Facial Cleanser is a hydrating gel cleanser that lifts oil, impurities and blackheads while calming and reinforcing skin's moisture barrier.

Designed for daily use and double-cleansing routines, this Korean-formulated gel brings together licorice root and Centella asiatica with ceramide NP and multiple hyaluronic acids to cleanse without overdrying. The texture foams lightly to dislodge sebum and surface debris while supporting skin comfort and barrier recovery. It’s developed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin yet effective at improving skin clarity when used consistently.

How does this cleanser remove blackheads without irritating skin?

The formula relies on plant-derived exfoliating agents and surfactants that loosen pore-clogging oil and dead skin rather than harsh physical scrubs. Licorice root helps clarify and Centella asiatica soothes, reducing the redness that often follows aggressive cleansing. Ceramide NP and panthenol work in tandem to maintain barrier lipids so hydration is preserved after washing.

• Gentle plant-based exfoliation targets sebum and buildup.
• Licorice root supports clearer-looking pores.
• Ceramide NP and panthenol protect and restore barrier function.
• Soap- and paraben-free formulation reduces irritation risk.

Will this hydrate my skin while I cleanse?

Yes — the gel contains eight types of hyaluronic acid and glycerin that attract and hold moisture during and after cleansing. Unlike drying foams, this cleanser leaves a soft, supple feel rather than tightness. Regular use helps skin retain moisture and respond better to subsequent serums and creams.

• Multiple hyaluronic acid molecules for layered hydration.
• Glycerin provides immediate humectant benefits.
• Ceramide NP helps seal in moisture post-rinse.
• Leaves skin prepped for treatments without flaking or tightness.

Is this safe for sensitive or easily irritated skin?

The cleanser was formulated to be mild and dermatologically tested, avoiding common irritants such as soap and parabens. Centella asiatica and panthenol are included to calm inflammation and soothe reactive skin. Still, patch testing new products is recommended for very reactive skin types.

• Free from soap and parabens to lower irritation risk.
• Centella asiatica and panthenol provide anti-irritant support.
• Dermatologist-tested for gentle performance across skin types.
• Suitable for double-cleansing steps with oil cleansers.

How should I use this cleanser in my routine?

Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently focusing on T-zone and areas with congestion, then rinse thoroughly. It can be used as the second step in a double cleanse after an oil or balm to ensure deep pore cleansing. Use morning and night as needed, adjusting frequency if irritation appears.

• Wet face, dispense a pea-sized amount, and lather gently.
• Concentrate on oily or blackhead-prone zones for 30–60 seconds.
• Rinse with lukewarm water and pat skin dry before moisturizing.
• Use after an oil cleanser for double-cleansing benefits.

Who this is for: YUMU Licorice Deep Pore Facial Cleanser suits anyone seeking a non-drying gel that balances effective pore cleansing with skin comfort. It’s a good match for combination to oily skin types looking to reduce blackheads, as well as for sensitive or reactive skin that needs calming actives alongside hydrating ingredients. If you follow multi-step Korean skincare or need a dependable second-step cleanser in a double-cleanse routine, this product is formulated for those goals.
