Compared to other brands' cleansing foams, it's better at clearing up blemishes. In my opinion, it's top-tier for acne elimination.
ConsRecommendedI'm so satisfied that I can't really think of any downsides. I definitely plan to repurchase.

The product packaging is also pretty. I was curious about the mint scent, but it's not overpowering - just a subtle fragrance.
ConsRecommendedI prefer products that cleanse thoroughly and leave my skin feeling fresh, but with this one, I'm not sure if it's actually doing anything. The cleansing effectiveness feels weak. Also, I was a bit disappointed that the texture isn't the rich, creamy type I usually like.

The BHA ingredient and peppermint, which are highly effective in soothing blemish-prone skin, thoroughly remove sebum and impurities from pores, keeping your skin clean and clear. 2. As a functional skincare product containing salicylic acid - an ingredient designated by the Food and Drug Administration to help alleviate acne-prone skin - it's suitable for use even on skin with blemishes. 3. While higher pH levels are associated with dry, sensitive skin and lower pH with oily skin, this slightly alkaline foam helps balance the pH of typically oily, acne-prone skin, promoting healthier skin overall. 4. With only 8 ingredients total, having removed 11 unnecessary ones, it's gentler on the skin.
ConsRecommended1. As mentioned above, those with dry or super sensitive skin may need to do a patch test before use due to the pH level.

However, starting in 2024, the trend has shifted towards alternating between mildly acidic and mildly alkaline products. I personally agree with this approach. Even those with sensitive skin can experience sebum buildup in the nose area, whiteheads, and rough texture. The challenge is how to cleanse effectively without irritating the skin. In my case, cleansing twice a day led to over-cleansing, causing flaking and compromising my skin barrier. So, I opt for water cleansing in the morning and a two-step evening routine: first with a 95% natural oil cleanser, followed by a cleansing foam. I alternate between 1-3 days of mildly acidic cleansers and 1 day of mildly alkaline cleansers. During hormonal cycles when sebum production peaks, I might use mildly alkaline cleansers for a whole week. The foam in the first photo is from this product, and the second photo shows my current trio of mildly alkaline foams. Both the Mamonde and The Face Shop Dr. Bel* products contain 0.5% salicylic acid (BHA) and are mildly alkaline. Their ingredient lists seem similar at first glance. Dr. Bel* produces a dense foam, while Mamonde's foam is lighter with visible bubbles. Surprisingly, despite appearances, Mamonde has stronger cleansing power. My skin tends to peel if cleansing is too harsh, but I can use Mamonde. Dr. Bel* seems to dissolve surface sebum, while Mamonde feels like it's reaching deeper (though not completely removing it). Dr. Bel* leaves the skin feeling softer, while Mamonde gives a cleaner feel (though not squeaky clean). I alternate Dr. Bel* with a mildly acidic cleanser daily. On days with more sebum buildup, I'll use Mamonde. For extreme sebum overload, I turn to Isntree's Onion foam. For those with combination skin, alternating between mildly acidic and alkaline cleansers daily, with Mamonde as the alkaline option, could work well. Usually, mildly alkaline cleansers tend to be quite strong, so finding one that's not too harsh can be challenging. But it's good to know there are options suitable even for sensitive skin. I'm considering making both this product and Dr. Bel* regular purchases. The Isntree Onion is a bit too strong for me, so I'll be moving on from that one.
ConsThere's not really anything to complain about. If someone with sensitive skin like mine, prone to peeling with strong cleansers, can use it comfortably, it should be suitable for most skin types except extremely oily skin. However, it's worth noting that some people may not tolerate salicylic acid (BHA) well, so it's important to know if this ingredient works for you. Mildly alkaline foams are often associated with oily skin types, which is why they frequently contain salicylic acid (BHA) - a component known for its effectiveness against excess sebum and blemishes. Mildly acidic cleansers often use a variety of exfoliating ingredients like AHA, BHA, LHA, or PHA. If you want to check your tolerance to BHA, trying it in a mildly acidic cleanser could be an option.
TipRecommendedI recommend having both a mildly acidic and a mildly alkaline foam cleanser with different cleansing strengths on hand. Using just one strong cleanser can significantly damage your skin barrier when it's compromised.

ConsIt feels no different from a regular cleansing foam. The claims of being mildly alkaline and helping with blemishes don't seem particularly distinctive

After using a terrible cleanser (with pore-clogging ingredients) that made my face break out everywhere - forehead, cheeks, and chin - I switched my entire skincare routine to Mamonde. The improvement was miraculous... Even during a hectic period when I was busy with work and not eating properly, my skin remained radiant and returned to its original state, regardless of my overall condition. I'm sticking with Mamonde's skincare line for life!
ConsRecommendedThe gel texture requires thorough lathering, and it's a bit difficult to squeeze out. However, these minor drawbacks don't matter at all. The product's effectiveness is simply outstanding.

Unlike low-alkaline or gel cleansers that often produce little lather, especially when combined, this one surprisingly creates abundant foam. It effectively removes light makeup like BB cream, brightening moisturizer, and sunscreen. However, for waterproof products or heavy makeup, you'll need an additional remover or double cleansing. Despite its low-alkaline and BHA combination, which I expected to leave a squeaky-clean and slightly dry feeling, it thoroughly cleanses oils while maintaining just enough hydration to prevent tightness. I recommend this for combination dehydrated skin or oily skin types looking for a non-drying daily cleanser that works hard!
ConsRecommendedWhile it's a decent cleansing foam without major drawbacks, if I had to nitpick, I'd say that given its simple ingredient list of only 8 components, it could be a bit more affordable.

I chose this one because it doesn't contain any pore-clogging ingredients or anything that doesn't agree with my skin. The ingredients are clean and good, and compared to other mildly alkaline cleansing foams, this one leaves my face feeling less dry. So far, I haven't experienced any blemishes. Update: A few pimples have appeared, so I'm deducting one star.
ConsI wish they sold it in a 300ml size. I feel like I'll use it up quickly.
TipRecommendedI recommend this for people like me who have dry skin and don't do well with pore-clogging ingredients.

I think it would work well for those with dry, blemish-prone skin.
ConsRecommendedUnfortunately, using this product every morning and evening caused some irritation. It actually seemed to weaken my skin barrier. If you have oily skin, I'd suggest using it only in the evening. For those with dry skin like me, using it every other day might be best.

But surprisingly, the formula isn't bad! I only had gentle, low pH foams at home, so I focused on getting this for oily nights or for my boyfriend with oily skin. It's pretty decent overall.
ConsRecommendedWhile I like the tube packaging, it takes forever to squeeze out the product. You need to apply more pressure compared to other brands, which is inconvenient. I wish it had a color like the mint balm, but it's a transparent gel, which is a bit disappointing. My boyfriend wishes it had more of a deep cleansing effect (he uses Senka).
