How it works
The Yam Root Vegan pH-balancing Cleanser is a 120ml gel cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. The plant extract it is built around is Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract, named fifteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Hibiscus Esculentus Fruit Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Root Extract and Undaria Pinnatifida Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the gel cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cleanser Isntree sells in Korea, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract and all.

Key actives
Dioscorea Japonica Root Extractplant extract
Dioscorea Japonica is Japanese wild yam, whose root is naturally slippery with mucilage. Its extract hydrates and leaves a cushioned feel. On this gel cleanser's own ingredient list it is named fifteenth.
Hibiscus Esculentus Fruit Extractplant extract
Hibiscus Esculentus is okra, whose fruit is thick with mucilage. Its extract hydrates and gives a cushioned, slippery feel. It is named sixteenth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract.
Nelumbo Nucifera Root Extractplant extract
Lotus root extract. The root is starchy and mucilaginous, so the extract hydrates and leaves a soft, cushioned feel. The panel names it seventeenth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract.
Undaria Pinnatifida Extractplant extract
Extract of the brown seaweed Korean cooking calls miyeok. It carries fucoidan and alginates, both strong water-holding polysaccharides. The panel names it eighteenth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract.
Laminaria Japonica Extractplant extract
Laminaria Japonica is kombu kelp. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and iodine, and it is used as a hydrating, mineral-rich ingredient. The panel names it nineteenth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract.
Where does this gel cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this gel 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 Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market gel cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract and all. We match this gel 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 Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract?
Hibiscus Esculentus Fruit Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Root Extract and Undaria Pinnatifida Extract. The order they are printed in on this gel cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Laminaria Japonica Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract and Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract.

How to use
- Wet the face first, then work a small amount into a light lather in your palms.
- Massage it over the face for about thirty seconds, spending most of that on the nose and chin.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and move to your toner within a minute, while the skin is damp.
- Do not use hot water, since heat rather than the cleanser is what leaves a face feeling tight.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this gel cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract on the list.
- Introduce this gel cleanser on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract rather than to three changes at once.
