How it works
A foaming cleanser is a rinse-off step, so nothing about it stays on the skin and it is judged by how the face feels a minute after rinsing. Worked into a lather in wet hands, it lifts the day's oil and grime off the surface and takes it away with the rinse water. A pore looks larger when it is holding more and smaller when the surface around it is smooth and low in shine, which is where a cosmetic step can help. A cleansing water wipes off without rinsing, while a foam needs running water and does a more thorough job of it. The result you can judge yourself is whether your surface feels smoother and looks less shiny by the afternoon.

Key actives
Sodium Bicarbonate
The baking soda this line is named for, positioned among the later ingredients, is a mild alkaline exfoliating ingredient Korean cleansers reach for around clogged pores.
Lauric Acid
A fatty acid soap base positioned early on this list, the primary cleansing ingredient that lifts oil and residue from the pores this line is formulated around.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
A mild, amphoteric surfactant that softens the fatty-acid soap base higher on the list, keeping the cleanse from feeling as stripping as a plain soap alone.
Lactic Acid
An alpha-hydroxy acid at the end of the list, added in a rinse-off cleanser for a light exfoliating finish that pairs with the pore-focused positioning of this foam.
What is Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam 160ml?
It is a daily foaming cleanser from ETUDE, made for oily and combination skin bothered by the look of visible pores and a rough feeling surface. It goes first, as your cleansing step, before any leave-on product. The result you can judge yourself is whether your surface feels smoother and looks less shiny by the afternoon.
Where does Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam 160ml go in my routine?
It goes first, as your cleansing step, before any leave-on product. In practice: Lather a small amount in wet hands, massage over a wet face for about thirty seconds and rinse with lukewarm water. Applying it out of that order is the usual reason a step seems to do nothing.
Is Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam 160ml right for my skin type?
It is aimed at oily and combination skin bothered by the look of visible pores and a rough feeling surface. The skin types we would put first are oily skin, combination skin and normal skin. Pore size itself is largely inherited, so what a cosmetic step can change is how much a pore is holding and how rough the surface around it looks.
Do I need a cleansing oil before this in the evening?
If you wear makeup or a heavy sunscreen, yes. An oil dissolves what water cannot and the foam then clears what the oil leaves behind, which is the double cleanse in a sentence. On a bare face this is enough on its own, and adding an oil step every night when you do not need it is a common way to end up over cleansed.
Is this Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam 160ml the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. We stock the ETUDE Korean-market formula rather than a version reformulated for US shelves. The tube you open is the 160ml one sold on Korean shelves, with Korean-primary packaging and an intact barcode you can check yourself.

How to use
- Wet the face with lukewarm water, since a lather on dry skin drags rather than glides.
- Work a small amount into a lather in your palms first, then massage it over the face for about thirty seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly, especially along the jaw and hairline where cleanser gets left behind.
- Do not use hot water or scrub at the skin, and do not wait for the face to dry before your next step.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first if your skin reacts easily to new products.
- Keep it to the areas that need it rather than the whole face if your cheeks run dry.
