Key actives
Bifida Ferment Lysateferment
Bifida Ferment Lysate is a bifidobacteria ferment with the cells broken open. It is the ingredient behind the first-essence category and is used for the look of tired, reactive skin. On this gel cleanser's own ingredient list it is named twenty-first.
Streptococcus Thermophilus Fermentferment
Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment is a yoghurt-culture ferment. It is used for its conditioning effect on the outer layer of skin. The panel names it twenty-second on this gel cleanser's list, beside Bifida Ferment Lysate.
Pollen Extractplant extract
Extract of flower pollen collected by bees. Pollen carries amino acids, sugars, vitamins and flavonoids, and the extract is used as a conditioning ingredient. It is named twenty-seventh on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Bifida Ferment Lysate.
Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiablesemollient
The fraction of olive oil that cannot be turned into soap, where its sterols and squalene concentrate. It softens skin and helps hold water in. It is named twenty-fourth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Bifida Ferment Lysate.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oilemollient
Soybean Oil is a linoleic-rich plant oil used as an emollient. It also carries soy phytosterols and vitamin E. It is named twenty-fifth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Bifida Ferment Lysate.
How to use
- Work into a lather on damp skin, massage over the face, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Where does this gel cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this gel 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 Bifida Ferment Lysate and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market gel cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Bifida Ferment Lysate and all. We match this gel 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 Bifida Ferment Lysate?
Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Pollen Extract and Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables. The order they are printed in on this gel cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Bifida Ferment Lysate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil and Fructooligosaccharides.

How it works
The PH Cleansing Gel Foam is a 300ml gel cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. The ferment it is built around is Bifida Ferment Lysate, named twenty-first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Pollen Extract and Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables, so the ferment is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Bifida Ferment Lysate stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the gel cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cleanser Dr.G sells in Korea, Bifida Ferment Lysate and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this gel cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Bifida Ferment Lysate on the list.
- Introduce this gel cleanser on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Bifida Ferment Lysate rather than to three changes at once.
