How it works
The SoonJung 5.5 Foam Cleanser is a 150ml foam cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. The active it is built around is Madecassoside, named twenty-second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Glycol Distearate and Panthenol, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Madecassoside stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the foam cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the foam cleanser ETUDE sells in Korea, Madecassoside and all.
Key benefits
- Madecassoside, the active this foam cleanser is built around
- Glycol Distearate on the same list, an emollient
- Panthenol on the same list, a humectant
- Madecassoside named twenty-second on the manufacturer list printed on this page
- Sourced for the Korean market, not a US-shelf reformulation of this foam cleanser
Key actives
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
A mild, coconut-derived surfactant positioned early on this list, the primary cleansing base chosen for its gentler profile compared with a standard soap or sulfate.
Decyl Glucoside
A second mild, plant-derived surfactant paired with the isethionate higher on the list, reinforcing the low-irritation positioning of this pH 6.5 cleanser.
Panthenol
A humectant and conditioning ingredient positioned among the later functional ingredients, softening the after-feel of a rinse-off foam cleanser.
Madecassoside
A purified centella asiatica compound placed at the end of the list, the calming active the SoonJung line carries through even its cleansing step.
Where does this foam cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this foam 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 Madecassoside and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market foam cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Madecassoside and all. We match this foam 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 Madecassoside?
Glycol Distearate and Panthenol. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Madecassoside sits relative to them. Madecassoside itself is named twenty-second on it.

How to use
- Wet the face with lukewarm water first, rather than rushing through this step.
- Dispense a small amount into the palm and work it into a light lather with a little more water.
- Massage over the face for around thirty seconds, avoiding the eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with toner.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this foam cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Madecassoside on the list.
- Introduce this foam cleanser on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Madecassoside rather than to three changes at once.
