Product Description:
The Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser is created with a gentle, hypoallergenic, slightly acidic formulation designed to work with — not against — your natural moisture barrier. Formulated with natural Hanbang ingredients — 24% plum water and 3% mung bean seed extract — it harnesses the power of traditional Korean herbal ingredients to gently exfoliate and effectively remove dead skin cells, excess sebum, and impurities. Plums are rich in organic acids and have long been a common traditional herbal ingredient in Korean skincare, known for their softening and moisturising properties, while mung bean seed extract contributes effective natural exfoliation. Powered by 24% green plum water — a naturally derived AHA — the formula gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and congestion to reveal a visibly brighter, more balanced result, while mung bean seed extract lends a purifying effect without stripping away moisture, helping to protect from the appearance of breakouts and blemishes. This low-pH cleanser acts as a natural defense mechanism designed to maintain the skin's oil-water balance and promote overall skin health, with a lightweight gel texture that provides a pore-refining cleanse while revitalising the complexion, leaving skin feeling hydrated and ready for the rest of your skincare routine. Suitable for all skin types, this cleanser is a beloved staple from Beauty of Joseon — the brand celebrated for blending centuries-old Hanbang wisdom with modern skincare science.
Key Features:
Healthy skin is naturally slightly acidic because of the acidic components secreted by the sweat and sebaceous glands; when these acidic components decrease, the skin's defense weakens, making it easier for the skin to become sensitive. This cleanser's low-pH formula is specifically designed to cleanse without disrupting that natural acid mantle. Green tea leaf extract and vitamin-rich rice extract work together to help manage the appearance of skin sebum levels for a more balanced-looking complexion after cleansing. Houttuynia cordata extract and corn-derived plant cleansing agents add a further gentle, botanical-based purifying dimension. The cleansing base — Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, and Coconut Acid — is 100% plant-derived, generating a soft, comfortable lather that cleans thoroughly without any harsh, stripping sensation. This formula contains no harsh alcohols, common allergens, fragrances, oils, parabens, silicones, or sulfates, making it exceptionally gentle and inclusive for sensitive and reactive skin types. Nelumbo nucifera (lotus) flower extract and blueberry fruit extract add further antioxidant-rich botanical depth. Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride provides a skin-protecting, conditioning quality that helps keep the skin surface feeling soft and comfortable post-rinse. The lightweight gel texture transforms into a soft, cushioning lather that feels refreshing on contact, making this cleanser a genuinely enjoyable daily ritual rather than a purely functional step.
How to Use:
Squeeze a moderate amount into your palm, wet your hands, and work into a lather. Gently massage your face in circular motions and rinse off with warm water. Massage onto damp skin for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse away thoroughly with warm water. If you follow the double cleansing method, use this gel cleanser as your second step after an oil-based cleanser. Pat the face dry gently with a clean towel and continue immediately with toner, serum, and the rest of your skincare routine. Follow with serums, moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning. Suitable for both morning and evening use as part of a regular daily cleansing routine.
