Key actives

Salicylic Acidexfoliant

It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. On this product's own ingredient list it is named twelfth.

Ceramide NPbarrier lipid

Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. The panel names it twenty-fifth on this product's list, beside Salicylic Acid.

Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract

Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it sixteenth on this product's list, beside Salicylic Acid.

Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extractplant extract

Fig Fruit Extract carries fruit sugars, mild acids and a protein-digesting enzyme. It is used as a hydrating extract with a light smoothing effect. It is named seventeenth on this product's list, alongside Salicylic Acid.

Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extractplant extract

Amaranth seed extract, carrying squalene, sterols and peptides. It is used as a conditioning extract. The panel names it twenty-second on this product's list, beside Salicylic Acid.

How to use

  1. 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.

How it works

The JI WOO GAE Baking Soda Deep Foam Pore Cleansing is a 150ml product. The exfoliant it is built around is Salicylic Acid, named twelfth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Ceramide NP, Centella Asiatica Extract and Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, so the exfoliant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Salicylic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the product Celimax sells in Korea, Salicylic Acid and all.

Worth knowing

  • Patch test this product on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Salicylic Acid on the list.
  • This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
  • Salicylic Acid on this list makes this product an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

  • BHAs like salicylic acid get really deep into the pores, whereas the water-soluble ones don't go as deep.

  • Ceramides are part fatty acid and part amino acid and are able to be the grout that keeps the building blocks of the skin together and functioning as a barrier between the inside and outside world.
