Product details

A white pump bottle of Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser on an ivory table between a sprig of tea tree and a mound of white foam

Gentle cleanse

A self-foaming amino-acid cleanser that clears pores while leaving sensitive skin soft and hydrated.

Klairs builds the Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser on a mild amino-acid surfactant instead of harsh sulfates like SLS, so it washes the day away without that tight, stripped feeling. Hyaluronic acid, ceramide and olive oil keep skin moist as you cleanse, gentle plant-based exfoliating ingredients leave it feeling smooth, and the acid-balanced formula helps skin keep its moisture after rinsing.

    Tea tree leaf oil, which Klairs picks for troubled, breakout-prone skin, with licorice root extract high on the list.

    No. 10, 16 of 62 on the list

  • Gentle exfoliation

    A low-irritation exfoliating touch from plant-based ingredients, pineapple extract and papain (a papaya enzyme), for smoother-feeling skin.

How to use

A soft, pumpable foam

  1. 1

    Wet

    Wet your face with warm water.

  2. 2

    Pump

    Dispense 3–4 pumps of ready-made foam.

  3. 3

    Massage

    Massage it over the face in gentle circles. Klairs says it’s mild enough for the eye area.

Clean, soft and never tight

A cushiony foam that rinses away cleanly and leaves skin comfortable and ready for toner.

Good to know

  • Contains tea tree leaf oil, an essential oil, around the middle of the list.
  • Klairs’ description mentions houttuynia (heartleaf) extract, but it isn’t on the current ingredient list.
  • Klairs says it suits all skin types, including sensitive skin.
  • The box is made with recycled paper and soy ink, per Klairs.
