Fit by skin type
General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.
See how this fits your skin
Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testReveal fresh, radiant skin with the Biodance Soothing Barrier Cleansing Foam. This gentle yet effective daily cleanser removes impurities and excess sebum using natural coconut-derived surfactants, ensuring a deep cleanse without stripping moisture. Infused with 5 types of Mucin Complex, green tea extract, and panthenol, it hydrates, soothes irritation, and helps maintain the skin’s optimal pH balance for a healthy glow. Free from harsh ingredients and formulated for sensitive skin, this hypoallergenic foam leaves your complexion clean, calm, and refreshed after every wash.
Soothing Barrier Cleansing Foam is a lightweight foam cleanser from Biodance, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 35 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Coco-betaine and Butylene Glycol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Coco-betaine, Butylene Glycol and Methylpropanediol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
