This is a face wash I make sure to use once a week. It gets rid of dirt, and when I'm bothered by clogged pores or roughness, I work up a lot of lather and gently wash my face a little longer, and it gets better. It doesn't irritate my skin either, so it's a cleansing foam I can use without worrying even when my skin is acting up. I keep a backup because I get anxious when I don't have it. It's not like it has an immediate effect on anything, but it's gentle and still cleans well, so it's a product I can keep using.

Biore

Ouchi de Esthe Deep Clay Facial Cleanser

The cleansing power is strong, so it's great at getting rid of clogged pores and sebaceous plugs! But it also made my skin feel dry, and it stripped away so much oil that the next day's oiliness was... I moisturized thoroughly after using it and that still happened, so I think it'll only work for certain people. I won't repurchase. I think it'd be good for people with oily skin! Since it's a clay cleanser, the texture is about as thick as a firm mud mask.

Minon

Amino Moist Moist Milky Cleansing

I repurchased this over 10 times—it was my go-to cleanser for years! I've tried all kinds of cleansers, but no matter how many times I strayed, I always ended up coming back to this one, and repurchased it over 10 times. What I liked most was how my skin felt after washing. It's a milk cleanser, and I love that my skin still feels moisturized afterward. Even during times of year when pollen or UV rays make my skin prone to stinging, it was relatively easy to use on my skin and gave me the peace of mind of knowing, "I can always go back to this for now." You can get it for around 1,500 yen, and for how it feels to use, I think it's really good value for money. I also like the simple packaging and how easy it is to keep by the sink. On the other hand, having to double cleanse is a bit of a hassle. Also, since it's a milk cleanser, I feel like it takes a little longer to work it into my makeup and emulsify compared to oil cleansers and the like. I've tried various high-end department store cleansers too, but I kept coming back to this product, thinking, "For this price, this moisturized feeling after washing is more than enough." I'm currently using a cleanser from M-mark Series while I look for something that suits me even better, but Minon was such a favorite that I used over 10 bottles of it.

SOQU

Moisturizing & Brightening Rice Cleansing Foam

I had high hopes because it was rice-based, but...hmm, overall it was kinda meh 🥲 I like rice-based skincare, so I tried it expecting it to feel gentle. The first thing that bothered me was the scent. To me, it smelled like household cleaner, and honestly, I really couldn't stand it. I'd assumed it would have a gentle, rice-like scent, so this was a little disappointing. The texture is creamy, but both the lather and how my skin felt after washing were just “pretty average, I guess?” It seems to contain hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and other ingredients, but I didn't notice any particular difference while using it. Another minor annoyance is the packaging. The tube is pretty stiff and the opening is narrow, so it comes out in a super-thin string, which is a bit of a hassle every time 😂 It seems like you can also use it kind of like a face mask cleanser, but since I don't like the scent in the first place, I can't say I'm eager to use it... It's not so much that it's bad, but more that there wasn't anything about it that made me think, “It has to be this one!” Would not repurchase △

Sulwhasoo

Gentle Cleansing Foam

I liked Sulwhasoo's serum, so I decided to try this cleanser. It has a very mild cleansing power and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight after washing, so I really recommend it for seasons when dryness is a concern, like fall and winter! This cleanser isn't enough for me in the summer. It's good for fall and winter and for washing your face in the morning ◎

Ouchi de Esthe Deep Clay Facial Cleanser

Bought this because I wanted to take care of the pores on my nose. The first time I used it, I washed my whole face with it and the skin around my eyes got super dry, which was awful, so now I only use it on my nose and around my chin. It doesn't cause any particular irritation, so it's good for using around my nose ◎ Not sure if it's actually breaking down the pore plugs, but I feel like using it is better than not using it at all..

Pure & Deep Cleansing Foam

It lathers well and cleanses really thoroughly, but it didn't leave my skin feeling tight afterward, which was great! ◎ It might feel a little too refreshing for people who prioritize a moisturized feel 😢

Beplain

Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam

Neither good nor bad. It didn't have any positive or negative effect on my skin, so I think it's pretty gentle. My skin didn't feel tight at all after washing, so I think it has a convenient level of cleansing power, though it does feel slightly grainy.

Softening Milk Wash

This was the first non-foaming face wash I ever tried! I bought it with my own money to use as my morning cleanser and finished the whole bottle. Until then, I had only ever used foaming face washes, so it felt really new to just smooth the milk directly over my skin, rinse, and be done washing my face! Since I didn't have to lather it up, I used it every morning. I also like the way the runny milk glides smoothly over my skin. I have thin skin, and foaming face washes sometimes leave it feeling tight afterward, but this one didn't dry out my skin as much after washing and left it feeling soft and plump, which I liked. It was especially good during pollen season. Even when pollen made my skin bright red and my usual foaming face wash became painful to use, I could still use this. It was a huge help as a morning cleanser when my skin was acting up. After finishing one bottle, I thought, "Non-foaming face washes might actually be pretty good!" and now I'm trying all kinds of other milk and non-foaming cleansers, like IHADA. This is the product that got me hooked on non-foaming face washes.

Kanebo

Scrubbing Mud Wash

This is my third tube. I use it once or twice a week as a special treatment. When I use this, it feels like it really strips away all the grime, leaving my skin feeling super clean and refreshed. The slightly larger scrub particles in the clay feel really good too. It's easy to use too—just apply it directly to your face, gently massage it in, lather it up with wet hands, and rinse. I hate the whole "lather it up with a sponge~" process more than anything in the world, so I absolutely love that I don't have to do that with this

Arencia

Fresh Royal Rosehip Cleanser

A 2-in-1 product that can be used as both a mask and a cleanser. It has a smooth, paste-like texture that's easy to spread over the skin. When used as a mask, it keeps the skin feeling moisturized while it's on, and after rinsing, the skin feels refreshed without feeling tight. When using it as a cleanser, it's convenient because all you have to do is work it into wet skin and rinse it off. Unlike cleansers that you lather up first, it feels like you're building a lather while working the paste directly into your skin. I love that I can switch between using it as a mask or a cleanser depending on my mood and how my skin feels that day.

Dior

Prestige Le Sucre De Gommage

I used to wonder, "Aren't scrubs bad for your skin?" Then I received a sample and tried this, and ultimately ended up buying it. It feels gritty, but quickly turns into a liquid. At that point, I add a little water to emulsify it, leave it on for one minute, and then rinse it off. My skin feels plump right after rinsing, and I thought, "Could this improve my skin's condition if I keep using it?" I use it about 2 or 3 times a week. Apparently, that's what's recommended. Since it's Prestige, the fragrance is as amazing as you'd expect, and it really smells wonderful. It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight, and I feel it's gentle on my skin. I gave it five stars because I have absolutely no complaints. I'm looking forward to seeing how my skin does from here.

ZO Skin Health

Exfoliating Cleanser

I use this every day. It's enough to remove my usual makeup, since I don't wear foundation or mascara. It's a blue gel with exfoliating particles, and I like how massaging it in circles around my nose and other areas feels like it clears the gunk out of my pores and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. I have mildly dry skin, but my skin doesn't feel tight after washing. It's a little pricey for a face wash, but the large size lasts quite a while, and since it doubles as a makeup remover, I think it's actually not bad value for money. Oil cleanser and mascara remover are a must when I'm wearing heavier makeup, but I'm very satisfied with it for everyday use and think I'll continue using it for a long time.

Beplain

Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam

It rinses off easily and leaves my skin feeling refreshed, so I love using it as my morning cleanser. I have oily skin, and I like that it thoroughly removes oil and stickiness without making my skin feel tight after washing. Even though it doesn't feel tight, the surface of my skin feels sleek and smooth. The cleansing foam lathers up quickly if you use a foaming net. The foam doesn't seem particularly fine, bouncy, or voluminous, but I didn't feel any friction while washing, and it didn't feel irritating either. Most of all, the foam rinses away quickly, so it's easy to wash off in a flash even on busy mornings! It's fragrance-free, with no noticeable raw ingredient smell, so I don't think there's anything unusual about the scent. One issue is that the product itself is pretty thick, so it's a little hard to squeeze out of the container 💦 I use about 1 cm each time, and I think it's pretty cost-effective too. It seems especially suitable for people with oily or combination skin who want a refreshing cleanse but hate that tight feeling. It cleans well without any noticeable irritation or dryness, so I think it's an easy-to-use cleanser for all skin types.

ZO Skin Health

Gentle Cleanser

I purchased this while attending a ZO Skin Health seminar. When people hear ZO Skin Health, I think some may picture peeling or redness, but since this cleanser does not contain retinol or tretinoin, it wasn't the type of product that causes those kinds of reactions. It's a gel type that also removes makeup, and it leaves my skin feeling refreshed after washing. It lathers lightly and is easy to use when I want to thoroughly cleanse and refresh my skin. I think it's also an easy product to incorporate for those who are interested in ZO Skin Health skincare but are nervous about jumping straight into products that cause peeling or downtime. After actually using it, I like that it doesn't leave my skin feeling excessively tight after cleansing and that it's easy to use as my nighttime cleanser.

Skin Conditioning Cream Wash

I've used tons of face washes for dry skin, sensitive skin, and so on, but with my skin, every single one made it feel tight immediately after washing, and this is the only one that didn't. I definitely want people with similar skin to try it! It has mild cleansing power and leaves my skin feeling moisturized yet refreshed, and even a small amount works up into a rich, fluffy lather, so I can wash gently. I can use it with confidence not only in the dry winter, but also in spring when pollen makes my skin more prone to flare-ups, and I feel like it's easy to use year-round. I want to keep using it forever. This is my holy grail face wash.

Numbuzin

No.5+ Glutathione C Facial Spa Cleanser

I got curious about it when it was included as a magazine freebie, so I bought it 🛒 The oil has just the right amount of thickness, so it doesn't drip when I pour it into my hand, and it's easy to blend into my makeup and easy to use ◎ The citrusy aroma is soothing too, making this a product I look forward to using 🍊 It blends well with makeup and removes it nicely, but it doesn't strip my skin or leave it feeling tight, so it's a cleansing oil I can always feel comfortable using 🥹💖

Senka

Perfect Whip Beauty Foam Fresh

I've tried several cleansing foams, but this one leaves my skin with almost no tightness after washing, and the foam is soft, so it feels like it cleanses gently.🫧 I don't usually wear heavy makeup, so it's hard to compare the cleansing power accurately, but it works fine on days when I'm wearing light makeup. Instead of leaving my skin feeling squeaky-clean and dry after washing, it feels moisturized and comfortable, so I've been enjoying using this product.

Pure Moist Cleansing Foam

A foaming face wash I've repurchased 3 times. The foam is light, but it still feels like it cleans, and it doesn't feel hard to rinse off, so I like it and keep repurchasing it. I also love that the refill keeps the price down.

Ouchi de Esthe Deep Clay Facial Cleanser

I absolutely love this gel cleanser line, and I’ve been using gel cleansers themselves for about 10 years noooow. You don’t have to lather it up—just apply the gel as is and rinse it off. It’s way too easy. I love how refreshed my skin feels after rinsing, and how it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight. Best of all, it’s cheap. And then, wouldn’t you know it, a new line that’s apparently going viral came out. I’m not sure if there’s an obvious difference, but it feels like it has stronger cleansing power, so I think it’s perfect for summer.
