How it works
Volcanic BHA Pore Cleansing Foam is a foaming or gel cleanser, the water-based half of a double cleanse. It is built to lift away sweat, sunscreen residue and the oil an oil cleanser leaves behind, working with water rather than needing to dissolve makeup on its own. The texture whips into a lather that rinses cleanly, so it does not need a second rinse step the way a balm cleanser sometimes does. Used on its own at night, or after an oil cleanser first, it is always the last cleansing step before the rest of the routine. It goes on wet skin and comes off with water, then toner or the next step follows on the now-clean, damp face.
Key benefits
- What it is: a 150g cleansing foam from innisfree, for the cleansing step.
- On the ingredient list: Glycerin, Salicylic Acid, Madecassoside, confirmed on this product's own manufacturer list rather than assumed from the category.
- Fits into the routine: lifts residue, sunscreen and the day's buildup without stripping the skin tight afterward.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.

Do I need a separate makeup remover before Volcanic BHA Pore Cleansing Foam?
If you wore sunscreen or makeup, an oil or balm cleanser first breaks that down more effectively; Volcanic BHA Pore Cleansing Foam then finishes the job as the water-based second step of a double cleanse.
How long should I massage it in?
About thirty seconds is enough for a foaming or gel cleanser to lift away daily buildup without over-cleansing the skin. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.
Morning, night, or both?
Both. In the morning it is usually the single cleansing step used; at night it comes after an oil cleanser if one was used first. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.
Will it feel tight afterward?
A well-rinsed foaming cleanser should not leave skin feeling stripped; if it does, follow immediately with toner while skin is still damp. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.
What comes after it?
Toner, applied while the face is still slightly damp, then the rest of the routine in the usual order. That holds true whichever size or variant of this product you buy, so the same placement in a routine and the same answer apply across the line.

How to use
- Wet the face first, work a small amount into a lather between wet hands, and massage it over the skin for about thirty seconds before rinsing with lukewarm water. Use it on its own in the morning, or as the second step of a double cleanse at night after an oil or balm cleanser.
Worth knowing
- Rinse with lukewarm rather than hot water, since hot water can leave skin feeling tighter afterward.
- Follow it with toner while the skin is still damp rather than leaving it to air-dry.
