Dr.G Weakly Acidic Cleansing Gel Foam

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-05

What is this product?

Dr.G's Weakly Acidic Cleansing Gel Foam is a soap-free daily wash for sensitive, dehydrated-oily or soap-intolerant skin, and its 28-ingredient list carries no fragrance, no ethanol, no scrub particles and no acid. Skip it if you want a squeaky finish, if you react to pollen, since 꽃가루추출물 is printed last, or if you expect it to take off sunscreen in one go, because the lather builds more slowly than the copy suggests and there is no oil phase to dissolve anything.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it. Its five hydrophilic surfactants span amphoteric, acyl glutamate, methyl taurate and alkyl polyglucoside chemistry with no fatty acid and no hydroxide at any position on those 28 entries, which is exactly what the weakly acidic name needs in a category where most foaming rivals are soap; Dr.G still publishes no pH, so the name is structurally credible but unmeasured. Less flatteringly, the marketing promises quick foam and sunscreen removal from a formula that lathers slowly and has no solvent phase at all, and that is where nearly every complaint about it starts. A ferment and prebiotic group sits in the back third of the list with no amounts given.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary.

Key ingredient

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: Hydrogenated Lecithin, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate
