Conclusion
One of the standout characteristics of this foaming cleanser is that the skin does not simply feel moisturised immediately after cleansing. Instead, it gradually settles into a naturally smooth finish while retaining a light sense of hydration. The skin also changes very little over time after washing, making it a good choice for those who prefer their skin to feel as close as possible to its natural condition after cleansing.
The foam has a subtle tint and a light, finely textured consistency. It spreads easily across the face thanks to the smooth glide between the foam bubbles.
Note: This review is based on use on normal to oily skin (with oilier T-zone). Those with dry skin may find the finish slightly more on the fresh side.
Skin Finish
Evaluation conditions
This review was conducted after acclimatisation for at least 15 minutes in a controlled environment (22°C ±3°C / 55% ±5% humidity).
Assessment combines sensory experience with interpretation based on ingredient characteristics and formulation design.
The cleanser leaves the skin feeling hydrated without excessive residue, while the surface remains naturally smooth and fresh.
Tightness was relatively minimal, and the overall skin feel changed very little between immediately after cleansing and several minutes later.
Experience
Foam
The manufacturer's recommended three pumps produce a light, airy and finely textured foam.
👉 The foam spreads easily across the face while maintaining a light, effortless feel.
Each pump dispensed approximately 0.94 g of foam, which falls within the typical range* for foaming facial cleansers.
During cleansing
Although the foam spreads easily, its cushion is relatively light rather than dense.
For the most comfortable cleansing experience, gently massage the foam over the skin using light circular motions.
The foam also rinses away relatively quickly, making the cleansing process feel smooth and efficient.

How it’s designed
Cleansing system
The cleansing system combines:
・Amino acid-based surfactant (TEA-Cocoyl Glutamate)
・Amphoteric surfactant (Cocamidopropyl Betaine)
・Non-ionic surfactant (Cocamide DEA)
👉 The formulation appears to use amino acid-based and amphoteric surfactants as its primary cleansing system, while the non-ionic surfactant is likely included to help optimise the foam texture.
Why does it leave the skin feeling hydrated yet naturally smooth?
・Glycosyl Trehalose
👉 Glycosyl Trehalose is a moisturising ingredient that may help maintain hydration after cleansing while contributing to a finish that feels moisturised without leaving excessive residue.
It is also found in several other products from the same brand, suggesting it is one of the formulation ingredients the brand values.
Formulation Concept
A formulation designed with not only cleansing performance, but also the condition of the skin after cleansing in mind.
Key formulation features include:
・An amino acid-based surfactant as the primary cleansing ingredient
・Glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation
・A weakly acidic pH close to healthy skin (measured pH: 6.2)
・Glycosyl Trehalose to help optimise the post-cleansing skin feel
A gentle cleansing technique is written on the box, suggesting that both the formulation and the method of use have been designed to minimise unnecessary stress on the skin.
Given the relatively light foam cushion, the cleanser also appears to have been developed with gentle, cushioning application in mind.
👉 Rather than focusing solely on cleansing performance, this formulation appears to have been designed with equal consideration for how the skin feels after washing.
Packaging
Although the bottle holds a generous 200 mL, which is relatively large for a foaming facial cleanser, its slim shape makes it comfortable to hold.
The contoured pump head fits naturally under the finger, making one-handed use easy.
The pump head is fixed in position, with the dip tube aligned accordingly.
As the product level becomes low, tilting the bottle helps draw up the remaining cleanser more efficiently, making it easier to use nearly all of the contents.
👉 A practical package designed for convenient everyday use.
*Based on measurements across multiple products, most foaming facial cleansers dispense around 1 g of foam per pump.
