How it works
A creamy foam cleanser sits between a gel and a cream: it whips up in wet hands, rinses fully, and leaves less of the tight feeling a clear gel can. This is the cica cleanser in COSRX's Pure Fit line, the range aimed at skin that flushes easily. It goes first in the routine, morning and evening, on a face wet with lukewarm water. Twenty seconds of lather in the hands before it touches the face is what gets an even wash out of a cream base. It is mild enough to use twice a day, every day.
Key benefits
- Three centella asiatica extract forms lead the ingredient list.
- Asiatic acid, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and madecassoside round out the purified cica actives.
- A potassium-soap base of myristic, palmitic, stearic and lauric acids builds a creamy, low-lather foam.
- Rinses clean without stripping, leaving skin comfortable rather than tight.
Key actives
Centella Asiatica Extract
the calming botanical behind the Cica name, in three extract forms

COSRX Pure Fit Cica Creamy Foam Cleanser
Is this a soap-based or a surfactant-based foam cleanser?
It is soap-based: myristic, palmitic, stearic and lauric acid react with potassium hydroxide early in the list, the same fatty-acid soap chemistry used in classic Korean foam cleansers, rather than a modern low-pH surfactant blend.
How much centella is actually in this cleanser?
The list carries centella asiatica extract, leaf extract and root extract as three separate entries, along with the named actives asiatic acid, asiaticoside and madecassoside near the end of the list. That position means the centella content contributes during the wash rather than as a leave-on treatment.
What are all the plant extracts in this formula for?
Beyond centella, the list carries turmeric root extract, eggplant fruit extract, and several others associated with traditional soothing and brightening use in Korean formulas, alongside citrus and lavender oils for scent. None of these are dosed or positioned as treatment actives; they sit in the supporting portion of a cleanser formula.
Will a soap-based foam cleanser like this feel drying?
A potassium-soap base can strip more than a modern surfactant, but this formula includes hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine and centella extracts to offset some of that. Very dry skin may still prefer to limit a soap-based foam cleanser to once daily.
Does this cleanser contain essential oils?
Yes, the list includes eucalyptus, lavender and pine oil among the fragrance ingredients. Anyone sensitive to essential oils in a wash-off product should be aware before using it, particularly on already-irritated skin.

How to use
- Use the Pure Fit Cica Creamy Foam Cleanser as your first step, morning and evening, on a face wet with lukewarm water.
- A coin-sized amount, worked into a lather between wet palms for twenty seconds before it touches the face.
- Massage in small circles, rinse with lukewarm water, then go to toner while skin is still damp.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not use it as a scrub on the nose and chin; the point of a cream base is that it does not need pressure.
