Pros

The bouncy cleansing effectiveness is fantastic! It's been my holy grail product for years.

Cons

After using it for a while, the applicator suddenly starts leaking. If they could fix this issue, it would be perfect.

Pros

This is an excellent cleansing foam for combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes! It's gentle enough for daily use, and doesn't leave my skin feeling overly tight or dry after cleansing, making it perfect for both morning and evening routines. The cleansing effectiveness is great too! The texture is similar to a standard cleansing foam, but it creates a rich, dense lather.

Cons

I didn't notice any significant reduction in blemishes or prevention of new breakouts.

Tip

For best results, try adjusting the amount of water you use based on how deep of a cleanse you want!

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

As someone with sensitive, dry skin, finding the right cleanser is the most challenging part of my skincare routine. I have genetically delicate skin and suffered from severe atopic dermatitis as a child - even water would cause pain. My skin was like a documentary of cracked earth with visible magma underneath. If a cleanser is too harsh, it destroys my skin barrier, causing snake-like shedding and cracking. One wrong choice means at least a month of suffering, so I'm extremely cautious with cleansers. In my 30s, I only used slightly acidic products, but now in my 40s, I need mildly alkaline ones too for proper exfoliation. However, alkaline cleansers are usually formulated for oily skin types, making them too strong. It's very difficult to find a gentle alkaline cleanser suitable for sensitive skin, especially since the trend towards acidic products has made alkaline options scarce. Dr. Belmeur offers both mildly acidic and alkaline foams with BHA. Their website is simple, without flashy ads or celebrity models. Unlike other brands that try to stand out with special oils or natural herbs, Dr. Belmeur keeps it simple, avoiding harmful ingredients and including only what's necessary. For reference, AHA chemically exfoliates, BHA dissolves sebum, and PHA gently promotes cell turnover. In conclusion, this is the gentlest alkaline cleanser I've tried. The foam is rich, but it only removes surface sebum without clearing pores completely (which is typical for dry skin with narrow pores). I can alternate between the acidic and alkaline versions daily without issues. This product is truly designed for daily use on sensitive skin! While Doctorpad/Pad are trending in 2023-2024, I don't recommend exfoliating toners or pads for sensitive skin. If you want exfoliation, it's better in a cleanser. Toners and pads continue working for up to 10 hours until you wash again, which can thin sensitive skin over time. Cleansers, on the other hand, are only on the skin briefly, reducing potential issues even if they're stronger.

Cons

Some might be concerned about the ingredients list, especially potential irritants or allergens. Even if most ingredients are rated 1-2 (low risk), fragrances (which are complex blends) can sometimes cause issues. Problems can also arise from imbalanced formulations or unexpected reactions to natural ingredients. So, a perfect 1-2 grade ingredient list doesn't guarantee safety. Conversely, skilled brands can sometimes safely utilize potentially risky ingredients through proper formulation. Dr. Belmeur seems to have achieved this balance through their technology. Since it's a rinse-off product that's only on the skin for a few minutes, the risk is minimized. (Brands with research facilities are generally trustworthy.) This product is absolutely not suitable for oily skin types. It's specifically designed for truly sensitive or atopic-prone skin. Those with normal, healthy skin might find it insufficient - even I thought it was quite mild at first. However, the exfoliation effect is cumulative with daily use. Until now, I've done intense exfoliation once or twice a month, but with this product, that's no longer necessary. It's remarkable that they've created an alkaline cleanser gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin. This is a very niche product. While there's definitely a need for it, it's not a mass-market item, which probably explains the lack of advertising. It's like a brand sensitive skin types discover after a long search... Although it's marketed for acne-prone and sensitive skin, it's likely more suitable for dry, acne-prone skin rather than oily, acne-prone skin. I've never encountered such a gentle alkaline cleanser before. To draw a comparison, it's like baby rice crackers in terms of gentleness (though allergens and potentially risky ingredients are present, the sensation is at this level). I'm giving it 4 stars for now because I haven't used it long-term yet. If it remains problem-free after finishing two bottles, it might deserve not just 5, but 10 stars!

Tip

I'll also post a comparison review with Ma*d's Amazing Deep Mint and Inni*free's Onion New Pair cleansers. In terms of strength: Onion (strong) > Mint (medium, occasional use OK) > Belmeur (mild, daily use)

Pros

I came to write a review after using two bottles of this foam cleanser because it's pretty good. For me, it worked well. I specifically bought it for that squeaky clean feeling, and it delivers. I use it every 3 days or in the evening when I'm dealing with a lot of blemishes.

Cons

Oh no, the ingredients... Why are there so many potentially pore-clogging ingredients?

Tip

It seems to work well for exfoliating dead skin cells when used occasionally. But be careful - using it daily can leave your skin feeling dry!

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

It's gentle. I have combination dehydrated skin that's sensitive, so if cleansers are too strong, my skin gets dry and blemishes appear. But this cleanser's mild cleansing effectiveness doesn't cause any blemishes.

Cons

Its strength is also its weakness - the cleansing effectiveness is quite mild. So on days when I wear makeup, this foam cleanser doesn't remove everything, and I have to use a different cleanser.

Pros

First off, I have typical combination dehydrated skin! I've been using this for about a month, and it definitely feels more suitable for acne-prone skin compared to regular cleansing foams. It's not too squeaky clean to the point of being drying, nor does it feel slippery - it's just right in the middle. I looked it up on YouTube and found out that salicylic acid is great for removing dead skin cells! Coincidentally, this product contains that ingredient, so I think I'll continue using it in the future.

Cons

While there's nothing majorly disappointing, it doesn't dramatically eliminate acne. It seems to help with pustular acne, but small bumps don't significantly decrease and continue to appear.

Tip

I didn't find it irritating when I used it, but there are a few potentially irritating ingredients, so I recommend patch testing before use. Also, make sure to mix it well with water and create plenty of foam before applying! Applying it directly to your face might cause irritation.
