Cleanser
the most soothing cleanser ive ever tried
I’m obsessed with this cleanser because it’s gentle no tight no squeaky-dry feeling, just clean and calm. It’s formulated at a mildly acidic pH (about 5.3), which helps protect your skin’s acid mantle and keeps the barrier happy instead of stripping ...
COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Face Cleanser
Soft on the hands, soft on the face, just soft all around. Super easy to use too: it instantly foams up, you just lather, rinse, and you’re done. And what i really love is how the bottle is big and they even have refills, which is a plus.
ETUDE SoonJung pH 6.5 Whip Facial Cleanser 150ml
My first impression of this product is super comfortable to use! It feels really gentle on the skin and doesn’t have that overpowering scent like most cleansers. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated without that tight, stripped effect.
CeraVe Foaming Cleanser
One of the gentlest face washes I’ve tried yet it foams up *a lot*! After a month of use, I can say I really like it. It’s gentle on the skin, doesn’t leave that tight, dry feeling after rinsing, and it’s fragrance-free and a tiny amount lathers up e...
Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser
The texture feels really nice on the skin, it foams up quickly, rinses off easily, and doesn’t leave any residue. Completely fragrance-free too, which I appreciate. But it can also be quite drying so best to use it after spent much hours outdoor
I'm from Rice Water, Cleanser
might give u a lil bit dry after-effects by overall still good, i like it when it makes your skin so soft after washing your face with this one

COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer 3.52oz
It hydrates the skin well, though the texture is a bit on the thicker side. It has a hint of green tea fragrance, and I’d recommend using it at night so it doesn’t feel too greasy during the day. For acne-prone skin, it also has a nice calming effect...

LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Gel Moisturizer

Innisfree Aloe Revital Soothing Gel
Essence - Serum
I’d place these in the same categor: oily–water-based serums or essences.
its different than the 92 one, i repurchased this for 3 times because its sooo good on my skin also meanwhile the 92 one is more on hydrating your skin, snail 96 can give you the poweful serum essence effect that can reduce your acne in a night.
Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
This one is truly made for those of us battling dry skin. What keeps me coming back is that it never causes breakouts—not even during those pre-period hormonal days when my skin usually rebels. Definitely repurchase-worthy.
