How to use
General guidance from this product's category and active ingredients — always follow the directions on the package.
Trust & honesty
The concentrations these actives are typically effective at in research — not a measurement of this product.
Most research uses 2–5%; some formulas go to 10%. Very high levels can cause flushing in sensitive skin.
Niacinamide
INCI lists don't disclose amounts, and we don't claim to know this product's levels — these are the ranges these ingredients are usually effective at, so you can tell a real formula from "fairy-dusting" a marketed active. How we estimate this.

Ok so I'm not gonna lie, I bought this just because it was the cheapest option available and it was my first time using a cleansing foam ever so I wanted to give it a try. I had been using only micellar water before this. And I thought it was pretty sweet how it smelled like roses, but every time I used it I felt my skin SUPER tight and dry for using it only for like 10 seconds so I had to rush over toner and apply it ASAP because my skin felt really uncomfortable. And I noticed some small br...
For combo to oily skin it is a delight to use and feel clean. It can be very drying for people who has sensitivity, so I only use it once a day in mornings as nowadays I tend to fix my sun damage so hardly wear makeup, in order to focus on bloody hyperpigmentation. I like to alternate this with a mild Missha Snail Mucin Wash especially at evenings and inshowers. During humid seasons I also use it to have a body wash and shower, I like the refreshed squeeky clean skin feeling so that gives me ...
Huge amount and cheap. My friends love it, but my skin doesn't. However i had few acne breakout after using this product. I used a lot of face wash before, and none ever causing me to have a breakout. This is the first product ever causing my skin to have acne.... I give up and gave it to my siblings.
Used it for about 2 months and it made my skin super bad. I have combination skin, and it made the surface of my nose dry/peel really bad, and still very oily. After cleansing made my skin feel tight and super dehydrated. It strips the oils of your skin so much. WOULD NOT recommend.
I have oil combination skin and I've tried this product for almost 2 weeks, my first impression was a tightening skin, it feels dry but very very clean, removes all make up residues. it is completely necessary to moisturize and hydrate the skin after the use!
