How it works
Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser 250ml lists Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Citric Acid, Allantoin, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol on its own Korean-market ingredient panel. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a gentle cleansing surfactant, part of the system this formula uses to lift oil and residue from skin without the harsher stripping feel of older soap-based cleansers. Citric Acid is a named botanical or acid ingredient on this row's own Korean-market ingredient list, contributing to the formula's finished color, scent, or feel. Allantoin is a calming, texture-softening staple long used in Korean formulas to smooth the surface feel of skin. As a cleanser, its texture and placement in a routine carry the result as much as any single ingredient does: it works best as the first step of a routine, before a water-based cleanser if double cleansing. We stock Laneige's Korean-market formula, the same version sold on shelves in Seoul rather than a formula built for US retail, with the Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box.

Key actives
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a gentle cleansing surfactant, part of the system this formula uses to lift oil and residue from skin without the harsher stripping feel of older soap-based cleansers. It is named on this row's own ingredient panel.
Citric Acid
Citric Acid is a named botanical or acid ingredient on this row's own Korean-market ingredient list, contributing to the formula's finished color, scent, or feel. It is listed in the exact form the manufacturer's own INCI panel uses.
Allantoin
Allantoin is a calming, texture-softening staple long used in Korean formulas to smooth the surface feel of skin. It sits on this exact product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from a similar item.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is a water-binding humectant, drawing moisture into the surface layers of skin and holding it there. It is the ingredient behind the plumped, dewy finish that Korean hydration-first formulas are known for.
Panthenol
Panthenol is a humectant and barrier-support staple that shows up across nearly every Korean moisture-first formula, from toners through creams. On skin, it works alongside the formula's other humectants to soften a tight, dehydrated feel.
What is Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser 250ml?
It is Laneige's cleanser. Its own Korean-market ingredient list names Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Citric Acid, Allantoin. We stock Laneige's Korean-market formula, the version sold on shelves in Korea rather than a US-shelf reformulation.
How do I use Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser 250ml?
Massage Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser 250ml over dry or damp skin to lift makeup and sunscreen, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Used consistently as the first step of a routine, before a water-based cleanser if double cleansing, give it a few weeks in that slot before judging whether it is working for you.
Who is Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser 250ml suited for?
It suits normal, dry, combination, aimed at hydration. Patch test on a small area first if you are new to this formula or to the brand. Give the formula a few uses in that slot in your routine before deciding whether it fits your needs.
Is Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser 250ml the authentic Korean formula?
Yes. We stock Laneige's Korean-market formula rather than a version reformulated for US shelves. The unit sold is the one listed on Korean shelves, with the Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box.
How should I store Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser 250ml?
Keep Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser 250ml away from direct sunlight and heat, and close the cap fully between uses so the formula stays stable for its full shelf life. A cool, dry spot out of a steamy bathroom is a better home for it than a windowsill or a shower shelf.

What professionals say

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
