Product details

A pump bottle of Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam on a sunlit white marble table between mulberry leaves and a soft linen cloth

Gentle + moisturizing

A mild liquid cleanser that pumps into a rich, soft lather and leaves skin moist instead of tight.

Sulwhasoo’s everyday face wash turns from a liquid into a dense, smooth foam that lifts away impurities without irritation. Its Hydra Capture Complex™, the brand’s hydro-cleansing formula, keeps moisture in while you cleanse, and mulberry leaf and Japanese yam root, traditional Korean herbs long used for soft, clean skin, round it out.
