Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe Ji Woo Gae Baking Soda Deep Pore Foam Cleansing is a clarifying face cleanser designed for combination and oily skin, delivering a deep yet gentle cleanse with the power of fine baking soda particles (Sodium Bicarbonate). This creamy, rich foam effectively removes impurities, excess sebum, and blackheads from pores without stripping the skin’s natural moisture. Enriched with Centella Asiatica Extract, it provides a soothing effect, calming sensitive or irritated skin, while rich minerals from Sea Silt, Canadian Colloidal Clay, and Moroccan Lava Clay fortify the skin’s moisture barrier. The formula includes Salicylic Acid (BHA) for gentle exfoliation and Ceramide NP to support skin barrier health, making it ideal for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
Ji Woo Gae Baking Soda Deep Pore Foam Cleansing is a lightweight foam cleanser from Celimax. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 31 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, Butylene Glycol and Water, 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, Butylene Glycol, Water and Propylene Glycol.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Extract, Lauric Acid and Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract.
On richness alone it suits Balanced 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 antioxidant protection, oil control, brightening and tone and cell renewal. 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 essential-oil-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 fragrance, 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
