  Pros

  This cleansing foam has a gentle, low-irritation formula with a mildly acidic pH of 5.3. Thanks to its slightly acidic nature, it doesn't stress the skin barrier and helps maintain healthy skin. The formula excludes potentially irritating ingredients like fragrances and harsh surfactants, focusing on a minimal ingredient list. You can expect soothing, hydrating, and immunity-boosting effects, making it especially suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin. There are many reasons to choose a mildly acidic cleanser, but the most important is maintaining your skin's pH balance. To minimize friction and irritation while leaving skin moisturized after cleansing, this foam was developed with a rich lather using propolis extract water instead of purified water. It also contains barrier-protecting ingredients like 5% panthenol to support skin health. This moisturizing cleanser is suitable for the whole family, even infants, with its mildly acidic pH and gentle plant-derived non-ionic surfactants. It's formulated for those with delicate skin barriers including children, adults, and pregnant women, using only ingredients found in baby cleansers. This allows for double cleansing without any irritation. To address rosacea and other problematic skin conditions, it contains low-irritation ingredients along with barrier-improving and anti-inflammatory components like dimethyl sulfone, propolis extract, Manuka honey extract, and panthenol. These provide antioxidant and hydrating benefits for the skin. Many users report less irritation, fewer blemishes, and no tightness after cleansing, with excellent moisture retention. Key ingredients: • Mildly acidic pH: Maintains skin's natural acidity to minimize irritation and protect the skin barrier • 64% Brazilian green propolis extract: Offers soothing, antibacterial and protective effects while boosting immunity against various bacteria, especially acne-causing ones. It helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling from blemishes. Rich in flavonoids, it provides antioxidant protection and calms sensitive skin. Its amino acids and minerals help form a protective moisture barrier. • 5% premium New Zealand Manuka honey: Provides wound-healing and antibacterial benefits. Its flavonoids neutralize free radicals to prevent cell damage and slow aging. Polyphenols strengthen the skin barrier. It also helps reduce acne-related inflammation and balances skin pH. With high methylglyoxal (MGO) content, it aids in managing blemishes and troubled skin. • Dimethyl sulfone: Contains 5% dietary sulfur to support the skin barrier. It may help reduce skin inflammation, prevent secondary infections through its antibacterial effects, and promote collagen and keratin production for skin health. It provides soothing and irritation-reducing effects for troubled skin while helping maintain moisture and improve dryness. This cleanser is particularly effective for sensitive or dry skin due to its Manuka honey content. The combination of propolis, Manuka honey, and dimethyl sulfone work together to provide comprehensive care for various skin concerns, from sensitivity and dryness to blemishes and inflammation.• 5% Panthenol, Ceramides, Cholesterol, Fatty Acids: Panthenol soothes skin and boosts moisture content, alleviating dryness. The inclusion of skin-identical lipids helps strengthen the skin's protective barrier, shielding it from external irritants and supporting overall barrier function. • Gentle Plant-Derived Non-Ionic Surfactants: Using only the mildest surfactants typically found in baby cleansers, this foam cleanser effectively removes impurities while preserving the skin barrier, promoting skin health. • Rich, Creamy Lather: The ultra-fine foam texture minimizes friction against the skin, reducing potential irritation. Its dense, cushiony lather ensures a gentle cleansing experience. • Fragrance-Free Formula: This mild, unscented cleansing foam is suitable even for sensitive skin types. • Clinically Proven Cleansing Power: Dermatologist-tested and certified for its ability to remove fine dust particles, making it a safe choice for the whole family, especially on days with high pollution levels. • Post-Cleanse Hydration: Enriched with hyaluronic acid, this cleanser leaves skin feeling moisturized without tightness after washing. It forms a protective moisture barrier to shield sensitive skin. • Smart, Gentle Formula: This cleanser is designed to remove excess sebum, impurities, and fine dust while preserving the skin barrier and essential moisture. Experience the healthy skin transformation that comes from non-stripping, gentle cleansing. Start your journey to healthier skin with the Propolis Gentle Cleanse - a mild yet effective formula that cleanses thoroughly while maintaining your skin's natural balance. #MildAcidicCleanser #PropolisCleanser #PanthenolCleanser #GentleCleanser #joodoc

  Cons

  So far, I don't have any major complaints, but among low pH cleansing foams, I'd say its cleansing effectiveness is more "moderate" than "excellent". It's not a product developed for intense cleansing power.

  Tip

  [There's a dermatological study showing that if you only use a foam cleanser, 20-30% of sunscreen residue remains on your skin. So, what happens if your daily cleanser is strong enough to remove sunscreen completely? It's best to first remove sunscreen with a primary cleanser (cleansing oil, milk, or water), then finish with a foam cleanser for thorough cleansing. While those with oily skin might benefit from using a squeaky-clean cleanser with strong surfactants every evening in summer for deep cleansing, using such products as part of your year-round daily routine can actually damage your skin barrier, making it more sensitive. Your skin is an incredibly smart organ that can regenerate and heal itself. However, if you strip it with harsh cleansing, you'll compromise these functions. Squeaky-clean cleansing not only removes impurities but also strips away essential moisture and oils, leading to dry and sensitive skin. Cleansing is the crucial first step in your skincare routine and sets the foundation for proper skin hydration. When dealing with super sensitive skin, delicate skin, or blemish-prone skin, the first thing to correct is often the cleansing method. Scrubbing and over-cleansing are major culprits in damaging the skin barrier. Many people find it hard to break this habit due to the refreshing feeling it provides. However, once you establish a healthy cleansing routine, the rest of your skincare becomes much easier!]
