Mamonde Amazing Deep Mint Cleansing Foam

What is this product?

A minimal 8-ingredient mildly alkaline cleansing foam whose headline active is salicylic acid at 0.5%, declared for acne-prone skin relief. A short, transparent list makes it easy to screen, but the soap-based base and fragrance mean sensitive or very dry skin should patch test first.

What makes it different?

The formula prints only 8 ingredients, which is unusually short for a foam cleanser and makes screening simple. Salicylic acid sits fifth in the list at a disclosed 0.5%, giving the acne-relief functional notice a clear ingredient basis. Mentha Aquatica Extract appears near the end at 50ppm, so it reads as a supporting extract rather than a primary active. The base is potassium soap surfactants plus an amphoteric surfactant, so degreasing strength is real but can feel stripping for dry skin.
