How it works
As a cleansing water, this product is built to dissolve oil-based buildup like makeup, sunscreen, and sebum that a water-based cleanser alone struggles to lift. Its oil or micellar base binds to that buildup on contact rather than needing to be worked in with water first. Massaging it over dry skin gives the oils time to loosen debris from the surface and pores. Rinsing or wiping then carries that dissolved buildup away. Used as the first half of a double cleanse, it leaves a water-based cleanser with far less work left to do.
Key benefits

Key actives
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate
A mild, plant-derived emulsifier positioned early on this list, the ingredient that lets this cleansing water lift makeup and sunscreen without a rinse-required surfactant base.
Panthenol
A humectant and conditioning ingredient sitting mid list, added so a no-rinse cleansing water leaves a less tight after-feel than a plain micellar formula.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
Green tea leaf extract, positioned among the botanical ingredients in this cleansing water, added for its calming, antioxidant character on skin that has just had makeup and sunscreen lifted from it.
Madecassoside
A purified centella asiatica compound placed at the very end of the list, the calming active carried through even this line's no-rinse cleansing step.
When do I use SoonJung 5.5 Cleansing Water?
SoonJung 5.5 Cleansing Water is a no-rinse cleansing step for makeup and light everyday buildup. Work it into your routine at that point rather than swapping it in for a different step, since the timing is part of how a Korean routine sequences a cleansing water.
How much SoonJung 5.5 Cleansing Water should I use?
A little goes further than it looks: most people use a coin-sized amount or a few pumps for the face, then adjust up or down once they see how their skin responds over the first week.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea?
Yes. This is the Korean-market ETUDE release, imported with its original Korean-language packaging, barcode, and batch code intact, rather than a version reformulated or repackaged for US retail. We check that batch code against the one on the box before it ships, instead of relying on the listing alone.
Can I use SoonJung 5.5 Cleansing Water if I have sensitive skin?
Patch test on the inner arm before the first full-face application, as with any new formula, and watch for redness or stinging over the following day before working it into daily use.
How long does one 320 ml of SoonJung 5.5 Cleansing Water last?
That depends on how much you apply each time and how often, but a typical full-size bottle used once or twice a day generally lasts one to two months for most people.

Payment and security
We accept
How to use
- Apply to dry skin and dry hands, or dry hands with a dry face.
- Massage the cleansing water over the face in circular motions to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.
- Wipe gently over the face and eye area with a cotton pad, no rinsing needed.
- Follow with your normal cleanser if you have been wearing heavy makeup or sunscreen, rather than skipping straight to the next product.
Worth knowing
- Keep away from the eyes when using on a dry face, and remove eye makeup separately with a gentler product if it stings.
- Rinse thoroughly if using as an oil cleanser, since leftover oil residue can feel heavy if not fully emulsified.
