Cleansing Gel

Korean cleansing gel is a face cleanser with a lightweight, gel-like texture with a slippery feeling when applied to the skin. Unlike conventional foaming cleansers and face wash, gel cleansers produce very little bubbles or suds and they do not leave your skin with a squeaky clean, clarified finish. Nonetheless, this does not mean that your face is not cleansed properly.

Gel cleansing products are usually made with mild ingredients such as plant extracts, gentle fruit acids and have a soap-free formula, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin. Apart from that, cleansing gels can thoroughly remove impurities on the surface of the skin or those trapped within the ore, using gentle exfoliants and low-irritant ingredients. Some cleansing gels contain microbeads, soft grains or other exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores to keep the skin smooth, supple and fresh.

Gel cleansing can also work well for those with oily, troubled, acne-prone and sensitive skin to prevent further irritation or aggravating preexisting inflammation of the skin. It is still recommended to follow with a gentle face wash to ensure that all traces of impurities and residue from the cleansing gel is cleared away from the skin, before continuing with the remaining skincare steps.

Cleansing Lotion

Korean cleansing lotion is a lightweight, milky, emulsion-like face cleanser that is designed to gently melt away makeup and impurities from the skin. Cleansing lotions can be referred to as cleansing milk, which is another type of oil-based face cleanser that can effectively dissolve stubborn, waterproof makeup while keeping the skin soft and smooth. Cleansing lotions are generally made without the addition of soap, giving them a non-soapy finish.

Additionally, they are lighter in texture compared to cleansing creams, therefore they can simply be applied to dry skin. Cleansing lotions are made with different ingredients like plant oils, ceramide, hyaluronic acid, and contain gentle surfactants to clarify skin. While cleansing oils are more suitable for removing heavy makeup, cleansing lotions are ideal for daily use to remove light makeup, residual sunscreen, moisturiser and mask.

Cleansing lotion or milk can work well for most people, including those with sensitive skin. A good way to select the best cleansing lotion or cleansing milk for your skin is to look for those with gentle formula without the addition of harsh surfactants, artificial fragrances, colouring or parabens which can weaken the skin barrier.

Cleansing Cream

Korean cleansing cream is a thicker and denser form of cleansing lotion and it has higher moisture and oil content. Generally, it has a rich, creamy, soft peaks-like texture and it applies smoothly without tugging on the skin. Since Korean cleansing cream is oil-based, it effectively attracts other oil molecules including dirt and other impurities from the skin. When rinsed off, it leaves a smooth layer of moisture to prevent dehydration. It is recommended to follow with a face wash as the second step of your facial cleansing routine to ensure that all remaining residue of the cream cleanser is removed, to prevent clogged pores especially for those with acne-prone and oily skin.

Cleansing Cream will work best for those with dry, very dry and mature skin that requires added moisture on the skin without tightness or feelings of excessive dryness on the skin. Although cleansing creams can be used for all skin types, those with oily, troubled and acne-prone skin should choose cleansing creams that are made without the addition of occlusive ingredients like mineral oils, beeswax or silicones.

How to use Cleansing Gel/Lotion/Cream

Regardless of whether you choose to use Korean cleansing gel, lotion or cream, each of these work similarly and the choice of the formula is based on personal preference, how heavy your makeup is and your skin type. These types of face cleansers are easy to use, simply dispense an adequate amount of cleansing gel, lotion or cream, add a small amount of water and gently massage it onto your face.

But if you are using a cleansing gel or lotion, you can apply the product directly onto dry skin and gently massage to remove impurities. Be careful around the eyes and lips area, and if you have very sensitive skin it is recommended to add a lip and eye makeup remover to remove makeup on those delicate areas. After massaging the cleansing gel, lotion or cream, rinse it with water and follow with a face wash that suits your skin type and skin concerns.

Starting a double cleansing routine is much easier than most people would think! What’s most important is selecting the right products with the right active ingredients to cater to the individual needs of your skin based on your skin type and skin concerns. Explore BONIIK’s wide selection of face cleansers to find the best Korean cleansing gel, lotion or cream to suit your skin type.
