Key actives
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. It is the entry this foam cleanser is named after, and the list carries it.
Zinc PCAactive
Zinc PCA pairs zinc with the humectant PCA. It is used in oily and blemish-prone formulas for the look of shine and visible pores, and it hydrates at the same time. It is named eighteenth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Salicylic Acid.
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. It is named twenty-fourth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Salicylic Acid.
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 tenth on this foam cleanser's list, beside Salicylic Acid.
Myristic Acidfatty acid
Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser. The panel names it third on this foam cleanser's list, beside Salicylic Acid.
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 Salicylic Acid and not three changes at once.
Does this foam cleanser contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance and Parfum. 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 Salicylic Acid?
Zinc PCA, Madecassoside and Glycol Distearate. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Salicylic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid and Palmitic Acid.

How it works
The Volcanic BHA Pore Cleansing Foam is a 250g foam cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. The exfoliant it is built around is Salicylic Acid, named fifteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Zinc PCA, Madecassoside and Glycol Distearate, so the exfoliant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Salicylic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the foam cleanser format rather than by the list alone. innisfree sells this Salicylic Acid foam cleanser in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Rinse well; a foaming cleanser left on the skin can feel tight and dry.

BHAs like salicylic acid get really deep into the pores, whereas the water-soluble ones don't go as deep.
