What the gurus are saying
This cleanser delivers the dense foam of traditional Korean cleansers without the irritation, thanks to a balanced pH of 5.5 instead of the typical 9, which some gurus praise for protecting sensitive barriers. However, the formula's strong essential oil blend leaves skin feeling tight and stripped after rinsing for others, so those with sensitive or easily irritated skin may want to patch test first or consider alternating with a more hydrating cleanser.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
