How it works
The SoonJung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser is a 250ml 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 eighth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sorbitol 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. ETUDE sells this Madecassoside foam cleanser in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- ETUDE Korean-market cleanser, 250 ml
- The first cleansing step in a routine, used morning and night on a wet face
- Ships with its Korean barcode and batch code intact, not swapped for an export label
Key actives
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. On this foam cleanser's own ingredient list it is named eighth.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is named ninth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Sorbitolhumectant
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a humectant. It hydrates like glycerin with a smoother, less sticky finish, and it adds a little body to watery textures. It is named third on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Panthenolhumectant
Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh. It is named seventh on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Madecassoside.
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.
What else is on the list besides Madecassoside?
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sorbitol 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 eighth 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.
