Cleansers – Essential Step in Your Skincare Routine

A cleanser is one of the most important products in your daily skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil, makeup residue, and impurities that build up on the skin throughout the day. By cleansing thoroughly, you create a clean base so the rest of your Korean skincare products — serums, essences, and moisturizers — can work more effectively.

The Importance of a Good Cleanser

A high-quality facial cleanser forms the foundation of healthy skin. It keeps pores clear, helps prevent irritation, and prepares your skin to absorb nourishing ingredients more effectively. Whether you use an oil cleanser, a foam cleanser, or a gentle micellar water, choosing the right formula ensures your skin stays balanced, refreshed, and radiant.

Our Curated Selection of Cleansers

At ME/&SKIN, we offer a handpicked range of Korean cleansers, designed to suit every skin type and concern. From nourishing oils and balms to refreshing water-based cleansers, each product combines effectiveness with gentle care.

• Oil Cleansers

Ideal for removing makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Oil cleansers dissolve impurities without drying out your skin, making them the perfect first step in a double cleansing routine.

• Water-Based Cleansers

The second step in double cleansing. These gels and foams wash away sweat and water-based impurities, leaving skin refreshed. A Korean water-based cleanser is suitable for normal, oily, or combination skin.

• Cleansing Balms

With a buttery texture that melts into the skin, cleansing balms deliver a luxurious cleansing experience. They remove waterproof makeup effectively while keeping the skin soft and nourished.

• Cleansing Wipes & Removers

Convenient for travel or quick touch-ups, makeup removers and wipes are practical solutions. However, they’re best used occasionally rather than as your main cleanser.

• Micellar Water

Lightweight and gentle, micellar water lifts away dirt and makeup in a single step. It’s suitable for sensitive skin and everyday use, though less effective on waterproof makeup.

Choosing the Right Cleanser for Your Skin

• Dry skin → opt for a hydrating oil cleanser or balm that cleanses without stripping moisture.
• Oily or acne-prone skin → go for a foaming or gel cleanser that helps control sebum and unclog pores.
• Sensitive skin → choose micellar water or a cream-based cleanser for gentle cleansing.

Understanding your skin type is the key to finding the best Korean cleanser for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use a cleanser?

1. Wash your hands.
2. Dampen your face with lukewarm water.

Cleanse morning and evening for best results.

What is double cleansing?

Double cleansing, a method popular in Korean skincare, involves two steps:

1. Start with an oil-based cleanser (oil or balm) to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.
2. Follow with a water-based cleanser (gel or foam) to remove sweat, dirt, and impurities.

This ensures a deep cleanse and preps your skin for the rest of your skincare routine.

Do oil cleansers remove blackheads?

Oil cleansers don’t directly remove blackheads but help prevent them. By dissolving excess oil and impurities, they keep pores clear. When combined with exfoliators (like salicylic acid), they support smoother, clearer skin.
