Pyunkang Yul Calming Low pH Foaming Cleanser 34 ingredients
Gentle, soft, and has a very mild scent! Been using this cleanser for a while as my go-to due to its low ph and centella extract in it- you only need about half a pump for your whole face. It leaves my face feeling calm and not irritated. It’s also not very drying, and gentle.
I really like this cleanser! It's foamy, soft, and it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight but definitely cleanses it!
