ETUDE SoonJung 5.5 Foam Cleanser — 5.1 oz Low-pH Face Wash for Sensitive Skin, Soothing Panthenol & Madecassoside

ETUDE SoonJung 5.5 Foam Cleanser is a soft-bubbling, low-pH face wash formulated to cleanse gently while protecting sensitive skin’s natural barrier.

This Korean-formulated foam cleanser blends a pH-balanced base with soothing actives to remove impurities without stripping moisture. Designed for skin that reacts easily to harsh surfactants and fragrances, the formula prioritizes simple, non-irritating ingredients and excludes common sensitizers. The product comes in a 5.1 fl oz (150 ml) dispenser ideal for daily use morning and night.

How does SoonJung 5.5 Foam Cleanser keep skin hydrated while cleansing?

The cleanser uses a mild surfactant system that cleans without aggressive stripping, combined with panthenol to support moisture retention. Its pH 5.5 balance helps maintain the skin’s natural acidity, which is important for barrier function and comfort after washing.

• Panthenol (provitamin B5) for hydration support
• pH 5.5 formulation to reduce disruption to the skin barrier
• Soft foam texture that rinses clean without tightness

What makes this cleanser suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

SoonJung 5.5 avoids known irritants and uses gentle chemistry to lower the chance of reactions. The formula excludes PEG surfactants, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and several other common additives linked to sensitivity, while including madecassoside to calm skin appearance.

• Free from synthetic perfume, sulfates, PEG surfactants, and mineral oil
• Contains madecassoside, chosen for its skin-soothing profile
• Hypoallergenic approach and simplified ingredient list

How should I use the ETUDE SoonJung 5.5 Foam Cleanser in my routine?

Dispense a small amount and lather with water, then gently massage across face and rinse thoroughly. It works as a daily cleanser for both morning skin refresh and evening makeup-free or second-step cleansing.

• Use 1–2 pumps per wash; work into a soft foam
• Rinse with lukewarm water and pat skin dry
• Follow with toner or moisturizer to lock in hydration

Is the formulation free of controversial ingredients?

Yes—ETUDE’s SoonJung foam is formulated without a list of commonly avoided components to reduce irritation risk. The label highlights a deliberately short ingredient profile to prioritize gentleness and transparency.

• No sulfates, no PEG surfactants, no synthetic fragrance
• No mineral oil, tar coloring, or polyacrylamide
• No imidazolidinyl urea or triethanolamine

Who is this for? The ETUDE SoonJung 5.5 Foam Cleanser is aimed at people with sensitive, easily irritated, or barrier-compromised skin who want a reliable daily cleanser. It’s also a good match for those who prefer minimalist, science-forward Korean skincare, those avoiding fragrance and harsh detergents, or anyone seeking a mild second-step cleanser after oil-based cleansing.
