Key actives
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. On this foam cleanser's own ingredient list it is named twenty-first.
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extractplant extract
Chamomile Flower Extract is one of the oldest ingredients in skincare, carrying bisabolol and chamazulene. It is used for the look of redness in formulas for reactive skin. It is named twenty-second on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Allantoin.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extractplant extract
Licorice Root Extract carries glabridin and liquiritin. It is one of the classic plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone and redness, and it appears in almost every brightening formula that avoids synthetic actives. The panel names it twenty-third on this foam cleanser's list, beside Allantoin.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is named twenty-fourth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Allantoin.
Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extractplant extract
Kkaennip, the perilla leaf eaten across Korea. Its extract carries rosmarinic acid and is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract. It is named twenty-fifth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Allantoin.
How to use
- Massage over damp skin in circular motions for thirty to sixty seconds, working up a light lather if the formula foams, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
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 Allantoin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market foam cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin 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.
What else is on the list besides Allantoin?
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract.

How it works
The Sunday Morning Refreshing Cleansing Foam is a 120ml foam cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named twenty-first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Allantoin 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 AXIS-Y sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this foam cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Allantoin on the list.
- Introduce this foam cleanser on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Allantoin rather than to three changes at once.
