Routine step 2
Complete the cleanse by removing sweat, residue and water-soluble impurities without compromising skin comfort.
Routine Guide
Lather with water, massage gently and rinse with lukewarm water to leave the skin fresh rather than tight.
Selected for Korean Water-Based Cleansers
Browse Korean water-based cleansers for your everyday routine. Compare cleansing textures and each product's directions to find a formula that fits your skin preferences.
A water-based cleanser can be used on its own or after an oil cleanser in a double-cleansing routine. Check individual product pages for ingredients, application advice and the recommended amount.
For sensitive skin or dry skin, compare the complete formula and the feel after rinsing. Choose a cleanser that leaves your skin comfortable, and follow the directions on its product page.
In double cleansing, oil cleansers are used first to lift makeup and sunscreen. The second step uses a water-based formula to wash away sweat and other water-based impurities. Compare oil cleansers with the water-based options here to build a pair that suits your routine.
01 · HOW TO USE
Apply a small amount to damp skin. Massage gently for 30–60 seconds, focusing on areas where residue collects, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
02 · CHOOSE YOUR FORMULA
Foams offer a fresher cleanse, gels balance comfort and efficiency, while creamy formulas suit skin that becomes dry or reactive after washing.
03 · CLEANSING INTELLIGENCE
Gentle surfactants, a skin-friendly pH and soothing or hydrating support help remove impurities while reducing the risk of tightness and irritation.
CONTINUE THE RITUAL
Use exfoliation only on scheduled days. Otherwise move directly to toner and begin rebuilding hydration after cleansing.
