Chemist's Notes:
Reviewed by April Basi, cosmetic chemist.
Houttuynia Cordata Extract is one of the most well-researched soothing actives in K-beauty, this formula genuinely earns its "sensitive skin safe" claim. Worth noting: Tocopherol at the end of the ingredient list is quietly protecting this formula from oxidizing, a small but smart addition that extends shelf stability.
What it is:
A gentle cleansing foam formulated with Anti-Sebum P and hyaluronic acid that effectively removes impurrities and excess sebum with a non-stripping finish.
Who it’s for:
All skin types; especially for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin easing into acids
Key Ingredients:
Quercetinol: power antioxidant known for its soothing ingredients — calming redness and repairing skin barrier.
Anti-Sebum P: plant based cosmetic complex designed to regulate excess oil production and tighten enlarged pores.
Salicylic Acid (0.5%): highly effective BHA that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells.
How to use: Dispense an adequate amount of the cleanser into your hands. Add a small amount of water and rub to create enough foam. Gently massage onto your face in circular motions, then rinse off thoroughly with water

Houttuynia Cordata Flower/Leaf/Stem Water, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Water, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Coco-Glucoside, Decyl Glucoside, Hectorite, Sodium Chloride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine Salicylate, Potassium Benzoate, Houttuynia Cordata Powder, Polyquaternium-67, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Butylene Glycol, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Dextrin, Disodium EDTA, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Acetate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Potassium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Quercetin.
Chemist Notes: This formula uses betaine salicylate and capryloyl salicylic acid rather than traditional salicylic acid — both are BHA derivatives that exfoliate and clear pores with a gentler, more skin-compatible profile. A smart choice for anyone who loves BHA but finds conventional salicylic acid too stripping.

Chemist's Notes:
Reviewed by April Basi, cosmetic chemist.
Rice bran water as the base rather than plain water means the brightening benefit starts at the foundation of the formula, not as an afterthought. The ceramide complex here is genuinely well-constructed — ceramide NP, AP, and EOP alongside phytosphingosine and cholesterol mirrors the natural lipid composition of a healthy skin barrier, which is the gold standard for barrier repair formulations. Fragrance-free with a focus on hydration and brightening makes this a reliable daily toner that layers well under actives without interference.
Overview:
This broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen protects against UV damage while hydrating with vitamin E, cocoa, and cotton seed extracts.
