Key actives
Mentholactive
Menthol is the cooling compound in mint. It acts on the nerve receptor that also answers to cold, which is why skin feels cool without any change in temperature. On this foam cleanser's own ingredient list it is named sixteenth.
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. The panel names it thirtieth on this foam cleanser's list, beside Menthol.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics. The panel names it fifteenth on this foam cleanser's list, beside Menthol.
Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extractplant extract
Cocoa Extract carries polyphenols and a little caffeine. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract and gives a faint warm tint. It is named twenty-sixth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Menthol.
Glycol Distearateemollient
A wax-like ester that thickens a cleanser and gives it a pearly opacity. It also leaves a conditioned feel behind after rinsing. The panel names it ninth on this foam cleanser's list, beside Menthol.
How to use
- Work a small amount into a lather with water, massage over damp skin for 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Use once or twice daily as the first step of the routine.
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 Menthol and not three changes at once.
Does this foam cleanser contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Limonene and Linalool. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this foam cleanser is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Menthol?
Salicylic Acid, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Menthol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Glycol Distearate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil and Myristic Acid.

How it works
The Bija Trouble Cleansing Foam is a 150g 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 Menthol, named sixteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Salicylic Acid, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Menthol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the foam cleanser format rather than by the list alone. innisfree sells this Menthol foam cleanser in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this foam cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Menthol on the list.
- This list names Limonene and Linalool, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Salicylic Acid on this list makes this foam cleanser an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
