What the gurus are saying

This cleanser strips oil so effectively it damages the skin barrier, a tradeoff that benefits oily skin but backfires for sensitive skin. It's so drying that people with sensitive skin see worsened redness, and daily use risks compressing the barrier further. It's affordable and low-alkaline (suited to oily, acne, or combo skin) but works best used occasionally, not every day.

"Oily and combination people probably love it because when you wash with it you feel like nothing is left on your face, but it strips out too much oil, and if you keep using it continuously it hurts your skin barrier. It's around six to seven dollars so it's affordable, and if you just think about the price it's okay, but I know a lot more better products than this, so I don't have any reason to reach for it. I bought it like two years ago and didn't use it that much."

"If you have sensitive skin like mine that gets red easily, this will make it worse, but if you have oily skin you'll probably like it. I just don't recommend using it every single day, it strips out all the oil like a vacuum and it's going to be too dry. It's low alkaline, which is better for getting rid of oil than a low acidic cleanser, so it suits oily, acne, or combo skin, or younger skin that needs more cleansing."

"This is a product I don't understand why it's still ranked at Olive Young. There are many kinds and it's very affordable, less than ten dollars, and it was a famous product that was a must buy for Koreans going to Japan, but that was ten years ago, and Korean skincare has developed tremendously since then. After you wash your face your skin feels like a desert, so dry, all the moisture on my skin is gone."

"Senka Perfect Whip, I think I've tried the beauty foam before, it's pretty good, mild cleanser. I believe they're scented. This is one of my favorite, I haven't used it in a while."

"The Senka Perfect Whip, this one's very very fragrance and it also felt stripping and I really wanted to use one somehow like on my body or something but it's just far too drying for that."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

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.
