A gentle, low-pH foam cleanser designed to purify the skin without stripping its natural moisture. Formulated with Green Tea extract from Jeju Island, it effectively removes daily impurities and residue while soothing irritation. Its creamy lather leaves skin feeling clean, hydrated, and comfortable, making it an ideal first step for calming reactive or stressed skin in Mauritius' warm, humid climate.

If your skin often feels tight, irritated, or red after washing, this cleanser offers a gentle, calming alternative. It helps to rebalance the skin while providing a thorough cleanse.

• Best For: Normal, Combination, Sensitive, and Acne-Prone skin types.
• What it does: Gently cleanses away impurities, excess oil, and makeup residue while soothing redness and irritation.
• Key Benefits: Maintains a healthy skin pH, hydrates during cleansing to prevent tightness, and calms stressed skin with the power of Green Tea.
• Texture: A rich cream that lathers into a soft, dense foam.

Build a simple, effective routine around this calming cleanser.

1. Cleanse: Wash with the MIGUHARA Green Tea Cleansing Foam to create a clean base.
2. Hydrate & Treat: Apply a hydrating toner or serum.
3. Protect (AM) / Moisturise (PM): Finish with sunscreen in the morning to protect your skin, or a moisturiser at night to lock in hydration.

Note: Already own a gentle cleanser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Start your day with a calm, refreshed complexion.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanse with Green Tea Foam → 2) Moisturiser → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional Add-on: If you have time, a hydrating toner after cleansing can boost moisture and help subsequent products absorb better.

Wash away the day's impurities and prepare your skin for repair.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanse with Green Tea Foam → 2) Treatment Serum (optional, for specific concerns) → 3) Moisturiser
• Double Cleanse Note: If you wear heavy makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, start with an oil-based cleanser before using this foam cleanser for a complete clean.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: Squeeze a pea-sized amount into your palm.
• Method: Add a little water and lather into a rich foam. Gently massage onto your damp face in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use morning and evening as the first step of your skincare routine.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin feels extra oily: Ensure you massage for a full 60 seconds to allow the cleanser to dissolve sebum in pores effectively.
• If your skin feels tight after washing: You may be using too much product or water that is too hot. Try a smaller amount with cool or lukewarm water.
• If removing waterproof makeup: Use an oil cleanser or micellar water first. This foam cleanser is gentle and may not remove stubborn, waterproof formulas on its own.

Safety: Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. For teens, this is a great gentle cleanser to start a basic routine of cleanse–moisturise–SPF.

• Daily Use: This cleanser is designed for use every morning (AM) and every evening (PM).
• As a Base for Actives: Its gentle, low-pH formula makes it an excellent preparatory step before using stronger active ingredients like exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids on your treatment nights. It cleanses effectively without compromising the skin barrier.
• Mauritius Note: In Mauritius' high humidity, cleansing twice daily is important to remove sweat, sunscreen, and excess oil that can build up and clog pores.

• Immediately: Skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed without any tightness or stripping.
• After 2–4 weeks: You may notice a reduction in general redness and irritation. Skin feels more balanced and comfortable throughout the day.
• After 4–8+ weeks: With consistent use, skin's overall resilience may improve, with fewer instances of sensitivity. When paired with the right routine, you may see fewer breakouts due to a healthier, more balanced skin environment.

• Why use a low-pH foam cleanser, not a harsh soap? Harsh, high-pH soaps strip the skin's natural protective barrier (the acid mantle). This can lead to dehydration, irritation, and even an overproduction of oil as your skin tries to compensate. A low-pH cleanser like this one respects your skin's natural balance, cleansing effectively while keeping the barrier healthy and strong.

• Works Well With: This cleanser is compatible with virtually all skincare ingredients. Its gentle nature makes it a perfect first step before applying hydrating toners (Hyaluronic Acid), soothing serums (Centella Asiatica, Panthenol), and targeted treatments like Niacinamide, Vitamin C, or Retinoids.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. As it is a rinse-off product, it will not interfere with leave-on actives.
• Avoid On: Do not use directly on the eyes to remove mascara or eyeliner; use a dedicated eye makeup remover for that area.

• Ideal For:
  • Sensitive Skin: Low-pH formula and calming green tea make it excellent for reducing irritation.
  • Combination Skin: Effectively cleanses oily T-zones without stripping drier cheek areas.
  • Normal Skin: A perfect daily cleanser to maintain balance.
• May Be Suitable For:
  • Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: Gentle enough not to trigger rebound oil production. Effectively removes excess sebum.
  • Dry Skin: Non-stripping formula helps preserve moisture. A Korean review noted it does not leave skin feeling tight.

This cleanser is formulated to help with:

• Redness and irritation

Full INCI List:

Water, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Coconut Acid, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, Glycol Distearate, Palmitic Acid, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Stearic Acid, Sodium Isethionate, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Cocoate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (4,900ppm), Polyquaternium-67, Myristic Acid, Arachidic Acid, Dextrin, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract, Oleic Acid, Lauric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil, Barosma Betulina Leaf Extract, Rose Flower Oil, Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil (100ppm).

• Fragrance Status: Contains natural essential oils (Mint, Rose). It is not "fragrance-free."
• Scent Profile: User reviews are divided. Some describe a pleasant, subtle green tea scent, while others have found it has an "unbearable chemical or plastic smell." Patch testing is advised if you are sensitive to scents.
• EU Allergens: Does not contain any of the 26 declarable EU allergens.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product is not considered fungal acne-safe. It contains several fatty acids (Palmitic, Stearic, Myristic, Oleic, Lauric Acid) that can potentially trigger or worsen Malassezia folliculitis.

Who should use with caution:

• Individuals with a known sensitivity to essential oils (Rose, Mint).
• Those with active Fungal Acne (Malassezia folliculitis) should avoid this product due to triggering ingredients.

Patch Test Protocol:

Before using on your full face, perform a patch test to check for sensitivity.

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cleanser to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your jawline.
2. Lather, rinse, and pat dry as you would normally.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
4. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe to use on your face. Discontinue use immediately if you experience irritation.

• Texture: A smooth, rich cream.
• Lather: Emulsifies with water to create a dense, soft, and luxurious foam.
• Finish: Rinses clean, leaving skin feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable, not stripped or tight. Some users with oily skin have reported a slightly "slippery" residue.
• pH: Approximately 5.5 (mildly acidic). This low pH helps to support a healthy skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne Risk: Contains multiple fatty acids that are potential triggers for Malassezia folliculitis. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: My skin feels tight after use.
  • Solution: You might be using water that is too hot or using too much product. Try reducing the amount to a small pea-size and rinsing with lukewarm or cool water.
• Issue: The cleanser isn't removing my waterproof mascara/sunscreen.
  • Solution: This is a gentle foam cleanser, not a heavy-duty makeup remover. For best results, perform a "double cleanse": use an oil-based cleanser or a micellar water first to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then follow with this foam cleanser to purify the skin.
• Issue: I don't like the scent.
  • Solution: Scent perception is highly personal. While some find it pleasant, others may not. If the scent is bothersome, consider using it as a body wash to avoid the fragrance near your face, or try an alternative fragrance-free cleanser.

• Humid Summers: This cleanser is an excellent choice for Mauritius' hot and humid conditions. It effectively removes sweat, sunscreen, and excess sebum without stripping the skin's moisture barrier, helping to prevent the clogged pores that can lead to breakouts in the heat.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: Its hydrating, low-pH formula ensures that even when the air is drier (or if you spend time in air conditioning), your skin will not feel tight or dehydrated after washing. It helps maintain essential moisture, keeping the skin balanced.

However, consider these in-catalog alternatives for different needs:

• For More Acne-Targeted Cleansing: COSRX SALICYLIC ACID DAILY GENTLE CLEANSER 150ML — Choose this if you have oily, acne-prone skin with blackheads and clogged pores. Why: It contains Salicylic Acid (BHA) to exfoliate inside the pores for a deeper clean.

Anecdote/Aggregated Sentiment. Note: Individual experiences vary.

• On Gentleness (Hwahae review, 2022-02): A user with dehydrated, sensitive skin praised the cleanser for being mildly acidic and not leaving the skin feeling tight. They noted it lathers surprisingly well for a low-pH formula.
• On Hydration (MIGUHARA site review): A Korean user with dry skin stated this is their favorite cleanser because it leaves the skin feeling moist and comfortable, without the pulling sensation they get from other products.
• A Fair Caveat - Scent & Texture (Picky review, 2022-10): One user with oily, sensitive skin found the scent to be an "unbearable burning chemical or plastic smell" and had to hold their breath while using it. Another user with oily skin (Hwahae review, 2022-09) found the texture too "slippery" and felt it left a residue, advising other oily types to avoid it. This highlights that scent and texture can be very divisive.

Established in 2013, MIGUHARA is a Korean skincare brand that believes in harnessing the power of nature through science. Their philosophy is to create safe, effective, and hypoallergenic formulations using natural, plant-based ingredients. The brand is well-known for its expertise in brightening technology and its commitment to creating gentle products suitable for even sensitive skin.

• Low-pH / Mildly Acidic: Refers to a product with a pH level between 4.5 and 6.0, which is similar to the skin's natural pH. This helps protect the skin's moisture barrier (acid mantle) from being stripped during cleansing.
• Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis): A botanical extract rich in antioxidants called catechins (like EGCG). It is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory, soothing, and protective properties.
• Surfactant: The cleansing agent in a wash-off product that lifts oil, dirt, and impurities from the skin so they can be rinsed away.
• MFDS: The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea, the regulatory body that oversees cosmetics.
• PAO (Period After Opening): An icon on the packaging (an open jar with a number like "12M") that indicates how many months the product will remain stable and effective after it has been opened.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with only the best, most effective, and authentic K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on evidence, formulation, and real-world results. Our promise is one of Ṣidq (truthfulness) and ʿAdl (fairness) in every product we offer, ensuring you receive genuine, high-quality skincare that supports your skin's health.

1. Is this cleanser suitable for removing heavy makeup?

This is a gentle, second-step cleanser. While it removes light makeup and daily impurities, it may not be sufficient for heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen. For best results, we recommend using it as the second step in a double-cleanse routine, after an oil-based cleanser.

2. Why is a low-pH cleanser important?

Your skin has a naturally acidic protective barrier called the acid mantle (pH ~4.5-5.5). Using high-pH (alkaline) cleansers like traditional bar soap can strip this barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and breakouts. A low-pH cleanser like this one cleans without disrupting your skin's natural balance, keeping it healthy and resilient.

3. It contains oils, will it make my oily skin worse?

No. The oils included (like Green Tea Seed Oil) are present in small, nourishing amounts within a formula designed to be rinsed off completely. The primary cleansing agents are gentle surfactants that will wash away excess sebum along with the cleanser itself. Using a non-stripping cleanser can actually help balance oil production over time.

• Best For: Individuals with normal to sensitive skin looking for a gentle, calming, and hydrating daily cleanser.
• Key Benefits: Cleanses thoroughly without stripping, helps to soothe redness and irritation, and maintains a healthy skin pH.
• Keep in Mind: The scent is divisive and may be unpleasant for some. It is also not suitable for those with Fungal Acne due to several triggering ingredients. It is not designed to remove heavy, waterproof makeup on its own.
