How it works
This lathers with water and rinses away, which puts it in a different class from everything else in a routine. The finish you want is clean but not squeaky, because a face that feels tight after rinsing has lost more than it needed to. Nourishing in cosmetic terms means a heavier finish and a softer feel, and that comes from texture rather than from any one ingredient. A cleansing water wipes off without rinsing, while a foam needs running water and does a more thorough job of it. The result you can judge yourself is whether your skin feels soft and cushioned instead of tight by the evening.
Key benefits
- What it is: Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Cleansing Foam 150g from Sulwhasoo, a Korean-market cleanser.
- On the ingredient list: Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Tocopherol, Urea, confirmed on this product's own manufacturer ingredient list rather than assumed from the category.
- Fits into the routine: belongs to the first step of a routine, removing makeup, sunscreen and the day's buildup before the rest of a routine.
- Sulwhasoo is a heritage Korean luxury house built around fermented Korean red ginseng and hanbang (traditional herbal) formulation.
- Original Korean Formula: the same version sold on shelves in Korea, not a US-shelf reformulation.

What is Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Cleansing Foam 150g?
It is a daily foaming cleanser from Sulwhasoo, made for dry skin that wants a richer finish, and anyone whose usual moisturiser stops feeling like enough in winter. It goes first, as your cleansing step, before any leave-on product. The result you can judge yourself is whether your skin feels soft and cushioned instead of tight by the evening.
Where does Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Cleansing Foam 150g go in my routine?
It goes first, as your cleansing step, before any leave-on product. In practice: Lather a small amount in wet hands, massage over a wet face for about thirty seconds and rinse with lukewarm water. Applying it out of that order is the usual reason a step seems to do nothing.
Is Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Cleansing Foam 150g right for my skin type?
It is aimed at dry skin that wants a richer finish, and anyone whose usual moisturiser stops feeling like enough in winter. The skin types we would put first are dry skin, very dry skin and normal skin. Richness is a matter of season and area rather than skin type, so many people use a step like this in winter and something lighter in summer.
Is it too stripping to use morning and night?
For most skin, no, and the test is how your face feels sixty seconds after rinsing rather than immediately. Comfortable is right, squeaky and tight is too much. If mornings leave you tight, rinse with water only when you wake and keep this for the evening.
Is this Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Cleansing Foam 150g the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. We stock the Sulwhasoo Korean-market formula rather than a version reformulated for US shelves. The tube you open is the 150g one sold on Korean shelves, with Korean-primary packaging and an intact barcode you can check yourself.

How to use
- Wet the face with lukewarm water, since a lather on dry skin drags rather than glides.
- Work a small amount into a lather in your palms first, then massage it over the face for about thirty seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly, especially along the jaw and hairline where cleanser gets left behind.
- Do not use hot water or scrub at the skin, and do not wait for the face to dry before your next step.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first if your skin reacts easily to new products.
- Use less than you think on oily or congestion prone areas, since a rich texture can feel heavy there.
