Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This cleanser does not contain any ingredients flagged as unsafe during pregnancy or breastfeeding — no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreen filters. The formula is based on gentle botanical waters, mild surfactants, and soothing extracts, making it a safe choice for expectant and nursing mothers. As always, consult with your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
Use with caution. The formula contains Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Fruit Extract as part of the patented EFFIPULP® complex, which includes fatty acids like oleic acid that may feed malassezia yeast. However, since this is a rinse-off product and the avocado extract is present at a very low concentration, the actual risk is minimal. Most users with fungal acne report no issues, but if you have severe malassezia sensitivity, patch testing is recommended.
Absolutely. This is a gentle, pH 5.5 cleanser with no active exfoliating ingredients, so it pairs well with all actives including retinol, vitamin C, AHA, and BHA. In fact, its mild and soothing formula makes it an ideal cleanser for routines that already include strong actives, as it won't add extra irritation or disrupt your skin barrier before you apply your treatments.
This cleanser is formulated for all skin types but truly excels for sensitive, dry, and combination skin. Its 0.00 irritation index certification makes it one of the gentlest cleansers available. Oily and acne-prone skin types will also benefit from its pH 5.5 balance and ability to remove 99.93% of acne-causing bacteria, though those who prefer a stronger cleansing feel may find it too mild on its own.
Most users notice an immediate difference in skin comfort from the first use — skin feels clean without any tightness or dryness. Visible improvements in redness and irritation typically appear within 1–2 weeks of consistent use. For overall improvements in skin clarity, barrier strength, and the regenerative benefits of PDRN, expect to see meaningful results after 3–4 weeks of daily morning and evening use.
Use it as the second step in a double-cleansing routine (after an oil-based cleanser like the HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Light Cleansing Oil), or as a standalone cleanser in the morning. Apply to damp skin, massage gently for 1–2 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (AM).
This cleanser has a comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5, meaning it carries very low pore-clogging risk. The formula is primarily water-based with gentle surfactants and plant waters — no heavy oils, silicones, or known comedogenic ingredients. As a rinse-off product, even the trace amounts of avocado extract are washed away and unlikely to contribute to clogged pores.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. The 200ml bottle typically lasts 2–3 months with twice-daily use (2–3 pumps per wash). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and always close the pump cap tightly after use to maintain freshness and efficacy.
Verdict: The HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Bubble Cleanser is a standout K-beauty cleanser that genuinely delivers on its promise of gentle yet effective cleansing. The innovative use of 46% Jeju broccoli water instead of purified water, combined with centella asiatica, purslane, and the trending PDRN ingredient, makes it more than just a basic cleanser. It's clinically backed with a 0.00 irritation index and proven pore-cleansing efficacy. The only drawbacks are its premium price compared to competitors and the fact that it contains salmon derivatives (not vegan). If you have sensitive skin and want a cleanser that cleans without compromising your skin barrier, this is one of the best options in K-beauty right now.

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.

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.

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.

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 «promises» 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.
