What is this product?

HERA's Refreshing Cleansing Foam is a 160g wash that exfoliates twice over in a single step, with a 3-AHA COMPLEX of 락틱애씨드, 시트릭애씨드 and 글라이콜릭애씨드 plus pink cellulose beads the directions tell you to crush in your hand before the foam touches your face. Underneath it is a potassium soap, its 저자극 case rests entirely on two completed irritation tests reported with no institution, participant count or date, and HERA publishes no pH. Best for oily, dehydrated skin that wants visible work on texture; not for sensitive, fragrance-reactive or barrier-impaired skin, or for anyone already using a leave-on acid or retinoid, since 향료 is declared high on the list with 리날룰 and 리모넨.

What makes it different?

Most foams pick one exfoliation route or none; this one runs the 3-AHA COMPLEX acid trio and an insoluble bead together in the routine step with the shortest contact time. It then pairs that with a comfort tail longer than a rinse-off usually justifies, five hyaluronic forms plus 세라마이드엔피, 나이아신아마이드 and 3-O-에틸아스코빅애씨드, and HERA does not market the two brightening actives at all. The catch is structural: because the base is saponified soap rather than an amino-acid system, its gentleness rests on test results rather than on what the wash is made of, which is the thing to weigh when comparing 저자극 claims across this shelf.

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.

Worth a closer look

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: 글리세릴스테아레이트, 피이지-100스테아레이트, 올리브오일피이지-8에스터
