A'pieu Deep Clean Foam Cleanser Whipping 130ml
A'PIEU's Deep Clean Foam Cleanser Whipping is a 130ml foam built the traditional way, four fatty acids saponified with potassium hydroxide rather than a syndet base, which is what gives the dense whipped lather, with milk protein and quillaja soapbark behind them. Korean-market formula.

How it works
The Deep Clean Foam Cleanser Whipping is a 130ml foam cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. The protein it is built around is Milk, named eighteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid and Palmitic Acid, so the protein is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Milk stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the foam cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the foam cleanser A'PIEU sells in Korea, Milk and all.

Key actives
Milkprotein
Milk on an ingredient list is exactly that: cow milk, carrying lactose, milk proteins and milk lipids. It is a dairy-derived ingredient. On this foam cleanser's own ingredient list it is named eighteenth.
Myristic Acidfatty acid
Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser. The panel names it third on this foam cleanser's list, beside Milk.
Lauric Acidfatty acid
Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels. The panel names it fifth on this foam cleanser's list, beside Milk.
Palmitic Acidfatty acid
Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid present in skin's own lipids. It thickens a formula, stabilises the emulsion and softens skin. It is named seventh on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Milk.
Where does this foam cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this foam cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Milk and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market foam cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Milk and all. We match this foam cleanser to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this foam cleanser contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene and Linalool. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this foam cleanser is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Milk?
Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid and Palmitic Acid. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Milk sits relative to them. Milk itself is named eighteenth on it.

How to use
- Use this cleansing oil PM (or AM if wearing sunscreen the night before), as the first cleanser in a double cleanse. Pat or smooth it on rather than rubbing, and give it a moment to settle before layering the next step.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this foam cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Milk on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal and Limonene, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
