Perfect cleanser for me

I wouldn't say I hate this and out of all the salicylic acid products out there, this scores quite highly for me. However, if you have dry skin, avoid this at all costs as it's likely that it will dry out your skin. Also if you have oily/combination skin, this is best used in the summer time to help regulate your sebum production. Overall, a good cleanser for those with oily/acne prone skin for summer time use.

I have been using this since July or so and have been really enjoying it, I prefer to use it once a day in the evening as my second cleanse depending on how my skin’s been behaving had kept those little pimples at bay, a little goes a long way as it lathers quite nicely, highly recommend!

This is the best cleanser I have used thus far. It foams up really nicely and it’s a nice silk foam. It doesn’t have a particularly strong smell. A little goes a long way and it has lasted me around three more months. I found it reduced the little pimples I get on my forehead. However it didn’t stop me getting blackheads and didn’t stop me getting hard blind spots on my chin. I think it’s a nice gentle cleanser but if you have problem skin like myself something stronger is needed.

I’ve been using this product for about a week now and I can definitely say that my pores have shrunk for what feels like the first time ever. My face feels absolutely cleansed and fresh, with just using a small amount too!
Wish I tried this sooner.
Nana W.
The oily part will become so fresh after use it!
Laura R.
I love this cleanser, it makes my skin feel so clean! Ordering my second one now.
Zorica M.
With this cleanser a little goes a long way. It has a bit of funny smell but u get used to it with every use. Very gentle foams a lot perfect for second cleanse. Very affordable and it will last you forever. When finishing with the cleanse your skin feels kinda straighten. My oily skin loves it.
Jessica S.
Amazing!! I usually double cleanse but on lazy days I just use this and it removes everything, I've used it for over a week now and I’m very happy ♥️
Wiktoria K.
This cleanser is amazing!! My skin is quite sensitive therefore I’ve always been worried to use acid cleansers however this one is very gentle. Since I’ve started using this product my acne has reduced.
Fong O.
I've been using this cleanser since the beginning of the year and it's great! It's very hydrating and never leaves my face feeling tight. I tend to go through phases with my acne, at times my skin's amazing and then at times it's like this... and this cleanser definitely helps by keeping it hydrated but also gently exfoliating it as well. Although the exfoliating part does feel a bit slow, but that's probably me being impatient as well as waiting for the other products to work it's magic.
Katie S.
Really like the feeling of this face wash. Only thing is that it takes quite a bit of working to get it to a good lather but my face does feel very clean after and not tight!
Sina D.
Ive only used this product for a couple of days, and it already feels really good, super soft, and fresh. I also used to get very oily around the nose area, and this has definitely reduced that.
Its great. :)
Sarah R.
I got this cleanser by watching james welsh on YouTube. I've been using it fpr a few days and I've already started to notoce a diffirence. All of my pimples have decreased in size drastically. 10/10 would highly recommend
Romina K.
I started using this as my 2nd cleanser. I really like the texture of the product and how a tiny amount goes a long way. It's only been day 2 for me and I can already feel a difference in skin.
Jessica S.
LOVE this cleanser, came as a free sample in my last order and I just had to buy it straight away! Highly recommend, feel like my skin can finally breathe!!
Reece H.
I got this product for my partner who has very oily skin. He said that it is amazing and makes his skin feel smoother, he also noticed that the cleanser has been helping his pores look smaller and overall making his skin look more even.
Pantelis N.
Such a deep cleaning!! Feels like you have a new,clean and healthy skin after using it!!
Yanjela S.
I've got an overly sensitive, combination skin and this is probably the best sun cream I've used so far which isn't too oily but also moisturises my dry patches. The scent is lovely and not too strong. Plus it sits so well under makeup. Onto my third purchase :)
Bathsheba W.
I have the worst acne, tried everything and it has never made a difference. This cleanser as a second cleanse has cleared my skin up so much. As opposed to getting 5 new breakouts a day, I'm getting a couple every few weeks. I'm hoping with longer use even this will go. Korean skincare has changed my life!!! I love the products, you only need a tiny bit so it goes a long way and much cheaper than British or French alternatives. The only reason I didn't post a review sooner was because I didn't want it to ever be sold out!
Tracy T.
Very gentle! My go-to cleanser for my sensitive, acne-prone skin, probably the 6th bottle now...
Aqsa A.
Have been using this for a couple of months now. It’s really gentle and doesn’t strip the skin like more intense cleansers do - making it great for dry skin. It also has helped A LOT with recurring acne breakouts from hormones.
Katie S.
Sadly this product is too harsh for my skin. I have used products with salicylic acid in before but this broke me out with tiny spots all over my cheeks and nose where I rarely get acne. I tried to stick with it only using it twice a week but found the same problem kept happening.
Donna M.
My daughter advised me to try this and I have only been using the product for a few days and I can see results. I have used it every evening and it always makes my skin feel so incredibly clean only way I can describe it ! I have breakouts mainly on my chin and I can see an improvement already will definitely keep using
Juan M.
Love this product. It makes my face very clean and fresh!
katie m.
Great for acne skin, reduces blemishes and calms inflammation !
Adita P.
A great cleanser that leaves my skin feeling very refreshed and clean. For those with dry skin like me, it’d be best to use a hydrating moisturiser as it can be a bit drying. Effective on reducing acne scars.
Amy B.
Use this in conjunction with heimish all clean balm, they clean my face completely with it feeling stripped or tight. Absolute pleasure to use.
Miss s.
Been using this for a couple of months. Give it some time for your skin to show a difference as skin cell turnover is roughly a month anyway. It's a really nice foaming product, very good value. My acne scars have faded really nicely, as the active ingredient is salicylic acid, which promotes skin cell turnover. Only thing is, the product is very drying and so, I would recommend a hydrating moisturiser.
Verity H.
I've been using this with the Aloe BHA Skin Toner for about a week now and all of my acne has gone, I haven't had skin this clear for years! I will absolutely be re-buying this.
Carys O.
Salicylic Acid has known benefits especially for acne prone skin. This is the perfect cleanser as it makes my skin feel clean without being overly dry and sore.
Shamima M.
I have fairly clear skin which is prone to occasional spots, and hoped that this product would be gentle and would reduce my spots. However, after using this product my face felt horrible - as if I had just scrubbed it with cheap soap. Kind of rubbery. The product also broke me out very badly. I had tiny spots all over my face, although it wasn't really noticeable, I have never had spots like that before. It also gave me large hard lumpy spots on my jawline. It was definitely due to this product as I always introduce new skincare products into my regime one at a time. Very disappointed, especially as it is the first korean beauty skincare product I have ever tried.
Lianne C.
Amazing! Love this cleanser so much it has cleared my skin just within 2 uses. I use it day and night for the extra deep cleanse. I have sensitive/combination skin that is prone to spots and firstly I bought the low ph cleanser but it broke me out so bad but after realising this one is more for oily skin and acne skin I bought this one and will defiantly recommend it to all my family and friends. Beats the high end cleansers. Thankyou for the added confidence in my skin!
Rebecca T.
This cleanser worked wonders! My acne reduced so much the photo shows the improvement in my skin after using it once a day for 3 days. Making sure to wash hands thoroughly beforehand. It foams so well on the skin then it dies down before washing it off so you know it’s done the job. I love this cleanser will be buying again when I run out!
Anna N.
Great cleanser! I have a combination of dry and oily skin and using this twice a day helps to prevent acne and mild spots; it feels just great! The smooth texture and subtle scent make it even nicer to use. I have purchased this product multiple times and have always stayed happy with it. And I will continue to use it.
Laura W.
I don't usually write reviews, because I don't really find products that I absolutely love. I suffer with acne and another skin condition (which doctors are yet to find out what it is) and I can tell you that this stuff is amazing. It really controls my acne and redness. I was sceptical, as my skin is very sensitive and often reacts to anything I put on it. But it works perfectly while controlling my skin issues, it doesn't strip the face of all oils, just any excess ones and still leaves enough oil on my skin without it being dry. I absolutely love this product and am really happy I found it
Idia A.
Gentle enough to use daily, almost no smell, and the only thing to get rid of my acne after 7 yrs! Love it!!
Hannah H.
My favourite cleanser, gets rid of excess makeup and clears acne, almost out so will be re ordering soon :-)
Emma T.
I have oily, sensitive skin and have recently started to suffer with adult acne, something I never had as a teen, so was woefully unprepared. I’ve tried a lot of cleansers, lotions, potions, read every article I could find about it, from diet to hormones to skincare etc etc but this one has been by far the best and most effective. It foams up luxuriously, gently washing away any remnants of make up, pollution, the day, and my Heimish Balm, leaving me with soft clean skin. I’ve noticed particularly that after I use this cleanser as well as the rest of my new Korean skincare routine, even my angry red spots are less angry and red. It seems to calm them down INSTANTLY! Try it for yourself and see! Love it, will be reordering (if I can avoid the temptation of trying every single product on this website!!)
Anna N.
Great product! Removes all the makeup quickly and makes the texture of your skin smooth and leaves a "clean" feeling. It is definitely an essential part of my skincare routine.
Olivia
Great for oily/spotty skin
I've been using this for a couple of months now and my skin has improved a lot - it's helped with breakouts and oiliness. It can be quite drying, so make sure you follow up with a nice dollop of moisturiser.
Caroline
Lovely!
This is a really lovely foamy cleanser I use this as my second cleanse and it leaves your skin squeaky clean.
Margaret
Very gentle exfoliation
Best cleanser ever. Quite thick consistency, more like a balm. No foam. It's a pleasure to wash face with this cleanser especially at the end of the day. I have oily sensitive skin and so far my skin loves cosrx products.
