How this pick earned its score
Every ingredient is graded on an EWG-style scale, then weighted with our own use-experience and curation read into one Dhaliora score.
The category's best sellers below are scored with the same formula.

A gentle, weakly-acidic cica foam cleanser that cleans without stripping, sulfate-free amino-acid surfactants with centella, a 5-ceramide complex and hyaluronic acid.
Why ours wins — A dermatologist-favorite gentle foaming cleanser for sensitive skin with niacinamide and ceramide, very close, but a simpler formula where ours layers a full cica and five-ceramide complex.

Why ours wins — A low-pH pore-care foam with olive esters, but it adds fragrance, where our fragrance-free relief foam layers cica and five ceramides.

Why ours wins — A strong 10% benzoyl-peroxide acne wash, but harsh and drying for daily use, where our hydration foam gently cleanses sensitive, compromised skin.

Why ours wins — A best-selling weakly-acidic mung-bean foam cleanser on amino-acid surfactants, a strong rival, but ours leans harder on a cica and five-ceramide soothing complex.

Why ours wins — A weakly-acidic sulfate-free moisture foam for sensitive skin, close in feel, but scented with botanical oils where ours has no added fragrance.

Why ours wins — A weakly-acidic amino-acid ferment foam, a close clean rival, but ours adds a dedicated cica and five-ceramide barrier complex for reactive skin.

What this formula actually does
Built around cica (centella) + 5-ceramide complex + amino-acid surfactants and screened ingredient by ingredient — here is what earns its place.
Sulfate-free, low-pH cleanse
Mild amino-acid surfactants (cocoyl glycinate, lauroyl glutamate) clean gently at a weakly-acidic pH without harsh sulfates, so skin does not feel tight.
Cica + ceramide soothing
A big centella (cica) complex with madecassoside plus five ceramides, beta-glucan and hyaluronic acid calm and support the barrier as you cleanse.
Clean, non-tight finish
A #1-ranked soothing foam cleanser on Hwahae and 2026 Hwahae Global Pick winner, reviewers rate it moisturizing, low-pH and no-residue.

Our take
A gentle daily cleanser that keeps the barrier happy. Sulfate-free amino-acid surfactants clean at a weakly-acidic pH without that tight, squeaky feeling, while a heavy dose of centella (cica), five ceramides, beta-glucan and hyaluronic acid soothe and hydrate. Best as an everyday morning-and-night face wash for sensitive, dry or easily-tight skin; it is a #1-ranked soothing foam cleanser on Hwahae and 2026 Hwahae Global Pick winner. It is not a standalone makeup remover, double-cleanse for heavy makeup, and it needs enough water to lather well.
Worth knowing
- Not a heavy makeup removerAs a gentle daily cleanser it will not remove waterproof or heavy makeup on its own, use an oil cleanser first for a double cleanse.
- Lather needs waterThe most common note is that the foam is not super rich, work it up with plenty of water; a few also note a mild mint-herbal scent.
A gentle low-pH foam cleanser that soothes and hydrates.
Across 6,161 Hwahae reviews the strongest signals are a moisturizing, pH-balanced cleanse that removes impurities while leaving skin soothed rather than tight.
