## How it works

Myristic Acid leads the ingredient panel on this foaming cleanser. Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser. On this panel it sits alongside Lauric Acid, Avena Sativa (Oat) Meal Extract and Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract. Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels.

## How to use

1. Use it as the second cleanse, AM and PM, after an oil cleanse at night or alone in the morning, giving it a moment to settle before the next step.

## FAQ

### How do I know this is authentic and not a US-reformulated version?

Check the box against the listing: an authentic Korean-market SKU carries Korean-primary packaging and an intact Korean-market batch code, not a US-only relabel. THE FACE SHOP's Korean-market formulas are sourced specifically to preserve that, rather than substituted for the US-shelf version some retailers carry under the same name.

### When in a routine should I use this foaming cleanser?

Use it as the second cleanse, AM and PM, after an oil cleanse at night or alone in the morning. Placing a foaming cleanser out of order is the most common reason a Korean routine feels like it is not working, so keep this one at its own step rather than doubling it up with a product built for a different stage. Give it a few weeks at that placement before judging the result.

### Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?

This is the Original Korean Formula, carried through with its intact Korean-market batch coding. THE FACE SHOP sells a separate reformulation on some US shelves, and this listing is not that version. The Korean-market batch coding and packaging travel with it, which is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.

### What kind of texture does this foaming cleanser have?

THE FACE SHOP formulates its foaming cleansers for the finish that format is known for: light enough to layer without pilling, and finished for a Korean routine rather than a heavier US-market equivalent. It is built to sit at its own step, not to double as a different product type.

### Is this foaming cleanser fragranced?

Fragrance varies by formula, and the box lists what this specific version carries. If fragrance sensitivity is a concern, check the ingredient panel on the packaging on arrival before working it into a routine that already runs fragrance-free.
