Hydrobubble Deep Foam Cleanser
Product Description

โจ Texture & Feel
Hydrating Hydrobubbles
Rich, luxurious lather lifts away dirt, oil, and impurities from pores without stripping skin of its natural moisture barrier.
Rice Bran Barrier Support
Rice bran strengthens and supports the skin barrier for visibly resilient, calm skin even after deep cleansing.
9 Korean Botanical Extracts
A blend of root and fruit extracts including cranberry, pomegranate, and wild cherry deliver antioxidant nourishment, brightening, and softening.
Gentle Enzymatic Exfoliation
Papain enzyme from papaya provides mild exfoliation to refine skin texture and support clearer, smoother skin over time.
Hyaluronic Acid & PGA
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid attract and lock in moisture during the cleansing step, preventing post-wash tightness.
Sulfate-Free Surfactants
Sodium cocoyl isethionate and potassium cocoyl glycinate are ultra-gentle, amino acid-based surfactants that cleanse effectively without irritation.
๐ก๏ธ Safety & Compatibility
Free from retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, and chemical sunscreens. All ingredients are considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As always, consult your doctor for individual concerns.
Contains coconut acid and sodium cocoyl isethionate, which have fatty acid bases that may feed malassezia yeast. However, as a rinse-off product with short skin contact time, the risk is lower than leave-on products.
Oil-free, silicone-free formula with no heavy pore-clogging ingredients. Being a rinse-off cleanser further reduces any comedogenic potential.
Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and paraben-free. Uses gentle amino acid-based surfactants. Contains allantoin for soothing. Patch test recommended for very reactive skin types.
100% Worry Free formula: vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny certified). Free from sulfates, parabens, silicones, harsh alcohols, and common allergens.
Papain provides gentle enzymatic exfoliation. Individuals with latex allergies or papaya sensitivities should patch test first, as cross-reactivity is possible.
๐ฌ Ingredient Breakdown
๐ซง Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Primary Surfactant Proven
An exceptionally gentle, coconut-derived surfactant that produces a rich, creamy foam. It is widely recognized in dermatology as one of the mildest cleansing agents available, leaving skin soft without disrupting the moisture barrier.
- Mildness: Dermatological studies confirm it barely impacts the skin barrier compared to traditional soaps and sulfate-based cleansers.
- Biodegradable: Based on vegetable fatty acids and readily biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly surfactant choice.
- Foam Quality: Produces dense, stable foam that effectively lifts impurities while maintaining skin hydration.
๐งฌ Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid Low MW Proven
A low molecular weight form of hyaluronic acid that can penetrate more deeply into the skin compared to standard HA. Provides hydration during the cleansing step to prevent the tight, dry feeling common with foam cleansers.
- Penetration: Low molecular weight allows deeper absorption into the epidermis for enhanced moisturizing effects.
- Moisture Binding: Can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, delivering intense hydration even in a rinse-off formula.
๐ Papain (Papaya Enzyme) Exfoliant Proven
A proteolytic enzyme naturally derived from papaya that gently dissolves dead skin cells and protein buildup. Provides mild, non-abrasive exfoliation suitable for daily use without the harshness of physical scrubs or high-concentration chemical peels.
- Mechanism: Breaks down keratin protein bonds on the skin surface, promoting smoother texture and improved clarity.
- Anti-inflammatory: Research shows papain has antimicrobial and soothing properties that can help calm acne-related inflammation.
๐พ Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Barrier Support Proven
Rice bran is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids that support the skin barrier. A staple in Korean beauty for centuries, it helps calm and protect the skin while providing gentle physical exfoliation from fine rice particles.
- Barrier Repair: Contains ceramide precursors and essential fatty acids that reinforce the skin's protective layer.
- Brightening: Rich in ferulic acid and gamma-oryzanol, both natural antioxidants that help improve skin radiance.
๐ง Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) Humectant Promising
A next-generation humectant derived from fermented soybeans that can hold up to 5,000 times its weight in water โ significantly more than hyaluronic acid. Forms a moisture-locking film on the skin surface.
- Hydration: Studies show PGA increases skin moisture levels and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- Synergy: Works alongside hyaluronic acid to provide multi-layer hydration during and after cleansing.
๐ธ Coptis Japonica Root Extract Antioxidant Promising
Japanese goldthread root extract, used traditionally in East Asian medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Contains berberine, a bioactive compound with demonstrated skin benefits.
- Research: Studies in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science found it has sebum-regulating and skin-brightening properties.
- Antimicrobial: Berberine content provides natural antibacterial activity that may help with acne-prone skin.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Hydrobubble Deep Foam Cleanser is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It contains no retinoids, salicylic acid (BHA), hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or other ingredients commonly flagged during pregnancy. All surfactants are gentle, amino acid-based, and the botanical extracts are well-tolerated. As with any skincare product, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
Use with caution. The formula contains coconut acid and sodium cocoyl isethionate, which are derived from fatty acids that may potentially feed malassezia yeast. However, because this is a rinse-off product with very short skin contact time, the actual risk is lower than with leave-on products. If you have active fungal acne, you may want to choose a strictly malassezia-safe cleanser like the Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser instead.
Yes. As a rinse-off cleanser, it is compatible with virtually all active ingredients in your routine including retinol, retinoids, vitamin C serums, AHA (glycolic, lactic), and BHA (salicylic acid) products. The gentle surfactants won't interfere with these actives. Simply cleanse first, then apply your actives and treatments on clean skin. If you are using strong actives and experience any sensitivity, consider using the cleanser only once daily.
This cleanser is specifically formulated for normal to oily skin types. It excels at removing excess sebum, dirt, and impurities with its deep-cleansing foam. Combination skin types also benefit greatly. Sensitive skin can generally tolerate it well due to the fragrance-free, gentle formula, but a patch test is recommended. Very dry skin types may find it slightly too cleansing for twice-daily use and might prefer using it only in the PM routine.
You will feel a difference from the very first use โ skin will feel clean, refreshed, and soft without tightness. Visible improvements in skin clarity, reduced blackheads, and a brighter complexion typically become noticeable within 1โ2 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. In brand studies, 94% of participants saw clearer skin with reduced sebum and blackheads, and 100% agreed their skin felt refreshed and softer.
Use it as the second step (water-based cleanser) in a double cleanse routine after an oil cleanser like the Peach & Lily Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser. In the morning, it can be used as your sole cleanser. Apply it to wet skin, massage for 30โ60 seconds, and rinse. Follow immediately with toner, essence, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (AM).
Very unlikely. The formula has a low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5. It is oil-free, silicone-free, and does not contain heavy pore-clogging ingredients. Additionally, as a rinse-off cleanser, the ingredients do not remain on the skin long enough to cause pore congestion. The papain enzyme and rice bran actually help keep pores clear by providing gentle exfoliation.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. With twice-daily use (AM and PM), a dime-sized amount each time, the 100ml tube typically lasts 4โ6 weeks. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the cap tightly closed to maintain product integrity throughout its shelf life.
Verdict: The Peach & Lily Hydrobubble Deep Foam Cleanser is a premium K-beauty cleanser that delivers on its promise of deep, effective cleansing without the stripping. Its standout feature is the incredibly rich, satisfying lather achieved entirely without sulfates โ a rare feat in foam cleansers. The 9-botanical extract blend, papain enzyme exfoliation, and added hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid elevate it well above basic foam cleansers. It's an excellent choice for oily, combination, and normal skin types who want a clean, fragrance-free daily cleanser. The main drawback is the premium price at $0.29/ml, which is notably higher than comparable K-beauty alternatives. If budget is a concern, the COSRX or Round Lab alternatives offer solid cleansing at a fraction of the cost, though without the same level of botanical richness and enzymatic exfoliation.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging ยซpromisesยป it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
