What is BEAUTY OF JOSEON Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser used for?

It is a daily facial cleanser that removes dirt, impurities, and excess sebum while maintaining skin hydration and comfort.

Does it dry out the skin?

It is formulated precisely to achieve effective cleansing without excessively stripping natural hydration. Its gentle cleansing base is combined with glycerin, plum water, and plant extracts.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is designed as a gentle, hypoallergenic, and pH-balanced formula, making it especially interesting when looking to avoid aggressive cleansing.

Is it suitable for oily skin?

Yes. Oily skin also needs to preserve its skin barrier. It removes excess sebum and impurities without pursuing an excessively degreasing sensation.

Can I use it if I have dry skin?

Yes. Its combination of gentle surfactants and humectants makes it an interesting option for dry or dehydrated skin that usually experiences tightness after cleansing.

Does it exfoliate the skin?

Plum contains natural organic acids that help smooth the skin's surface, but this product is intended primarily as a gentle daily cleanser, not as an intensive exfoliating treatment.

Does it remove makeup?

It can remove dirt and light residue, but for makeup or resistant sunscreens, it is preferable to perform a double cleanse, using an oil or balm first and this gel as the second step.

Can it be used morning and night?

Yes. Its formula is designed for daily use, both in the morning and evening routine.

What does mung bean provide?

The mung bean extract contains natural saponins and complements the cleansing action while helping to keep the skin hydrated and comfortable.

Why is it important that it has a slightly acidic pH?

Because the skin's surface naturally presents an acidic environment. A cleansing product formulated within a compatible range avoids resorting to excessively alkaline products that can be more aggressive to the comfort of the skin barrier.
