Anddd it’s time for me to change cleansers again! Well, I actually got a little tired with dropping the cap of my Sulwhasoo Snowise EX Cleansing Foam and having to bend over in the shower, so I brought the last 15% to HK with me to finish. The last I heard, it had actually foiled my plans to abandon it in HK by latching onto Miss Parn Parn lol. Hope she likes using it.
Presenting.. my new broom that sweeps clean, or my cleanser that cleanses clean (omg major repetition and redundancy is killing my grammar nazi)
A light brown honey-looking liquid that isn’t as thick as honey. Add some water and it emulsifies slightly (but there’s no beer foam)
I say…
I love, love, love this cleanser!
- It comes with a pump system, so no more dropping stuff or bending over in the shower. Yes, I know I don’t live in an American prison (like Prison Break), but well, I prefer to leave my full forward bends to yoga classes.
- The texture is perfect – liquid enough to smooth over my face without pulling at my skin, and yet not so watery that it runs all over my hands.
- It foams up slightly, not as much as traditional foam cleansers, but that’s alright with me.
- My preferred method of using this is to splash some water on my face and then apply this directly. It will foam up sufficiently enough.
- Alternatively, you can also try to work it up into a foam in your palms and apply it to your foam – I prefer the first method cos then, I can feel the awesome texture of the product directly on my skin.
- It smells fragrantly-herby and doesn’t overwhelm with all those artificial fragrances.
- After rinsing it, my skin is soooooo soft and smooth. More importantly, it does not feel stripped of moisture – no squeaky clean feeling! My skin felt like a diamond-buffed marshmallow. Don’t come trying to bite my face now hurhurhur.
- My skin always feel so advertisement-like – yes I now do wash my face with a smile on my face (as cheesy as it sounds). It hasn’t done anything in terms of whitening, but it does make my skin feel moisturised and healthier.

Sulwhasoo’s Gentle Cleansing Foam is a longtime favourite of mine. I had been using it quite consistently since 2012 but stopped when other newer and more exciting products caught my wandering eye. Anyway in August 2017, while browsing the Changi Airport Duty Free shops (I went on a short trip to Myanmar), I saw this product being sold in in a duo set for a great price. I grabbed the chance and bought it, together with their Gentle Cleansing Oil (Full Review here), since its normal retail price is much higher.
As usual, the ingredients of the Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam are as below for your reference:
How does the Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam fare?
I think by now you would guess that I still love this product and you would be absolutely right! It is a gentle low-pH foaming cleanser that does its job very well. You definitely shouldn’t use it to remove makeup since I don’t think its cleansing abilities are that strong. However, it is perfect as a second cleanse once you have removed your makeup. Being that it is from Sulwhasoo, it is to be expected that this cleanser would have the comforting smell of oriental herbs (to me at least!). However, even if you dislike the smell of oriental herbs, you can rest assured that the smell is not strong and it also doesn’t linger.
I actually don’t have much more to say about this product. It is perfectly functional, lathers beautifully despite being pH-balanced, rinses off cleanly without leaving any residue and smells great to me. I really don’t think anybody would actively dislike this product, unless you are allergic to any of the ingredients in this product or if you have very dry skin and hates foaming cleansers.

What you don’t know — or think you do know — about your skin can sap its youthful luster. One particularly dangerous misconception: after a certain point, the damage is done — and can’t be erased. In reality, there are lots of simple, effective ways to minimize fine lines, erase dark spots, and firm up sagging skin. If you stick to just a few basics, your skin can look younger, longer than you thought possible. Here’s where it starts from:
#QuestionOfTheDay: Should skin should feel tight and squeaky clean after cleansing?
If your skin doesn’t feel fresh and supple, your cleanser is probably too harsh. Time to throw it in the garbage! Daily cleansing removes blemish-causing bacteria and other impurities such as make-up and oil. However, harsh cleansers and over-cleansing can increase the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pre-mature aging. Something we all definitely want to avoid.
Skin tautness is a sign that the skin has been stripped of its precious moisture and oil, the natural barrier components your skin needs to stay youthful. Subsequently, our skin will struggle to balance its moisture-oil ratio, stimulating the oil grands to produce excess oil, which clogs pores, resulting in congestion and acne breakouts.
So, what should you look for in a cleanser? Our tip is to avoid sulfates like the plague, no matter what’s your skin type. Sulfates are synthetic detergents that’s very good — basically, overly good in producing a generous lather to emulsify and lift oil. That may feel satisfying initially, but the problem is, it can strip your skin barrier.
This best-selling cleanser is everything we want in a daily wash: a satisfying lather that detoxes our skin and leaves it feeling soft and hydrated. It is a 99% natural, liquid cleanser that turns into a generous, airy foam for gentle, effective cleansing. Formulated with a soap-free formula that’s free of parabens, sulfates and several other nasty chemicals, it respects the natural moisture balance of skin to restore radiance, softness and comfort. Instead, a natural blend of grapes, sage and chamomile was infused to effectively cleanse and remove make-up and impurities while soothing skin.
SULWHASOO Gentle Cleansing Foam
From Korea’s No.1 holistic luxury skincare, this foam cleanser prepares your skin for the next step of cleansing with a moisturizing formula that helps maintain hydrated, supple skin, long after cleansing. Infused with herbal and botanical ingredients such as chestnuts and duckweed, the compact and fine foam forms a rich lather effortlessly to gently remove dead skin cells without over-stimulating the skin, leaving behind a deep moisture layer and a relaxed and smooth finish.
