LAGOM Cellup PH Cure Foam Cleanser is a gentle foam cleanser formulated at a slightly acidic pH level around 5 to match the skin’s natural pH, helping protect the moisture barrier and reduce irritation. It employs mild plant-derived surfactants like sodium cocoyl isethionate and lauramidopropyl betaine to cleanse without drying. Infused with ingredients such as lemongrass extract for regulating oil production and refining pores, Himalayan crystal mineral salt for mild exfoliation and removal of dead skin cells, along with hydrating Aqualicia activator to enhance water retention and skin moisturisation. This lightweight formula creates a soft foamy lather that effectively cleanses while soothing extremely dry, sensitive, or troubled skin. Recommended for: Dry, sensitive, excess oil, dullness, uneven texture, and pore congestion.

About Cellup PH Cure Foam Cleanser

Overview

Cellup PH Cure Foam Cleanser is a watery-light foam cleanser from LAGOM. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 24 ingredients, each broken down in full below.

Texture and finish

By its ingredient list the formula reads as very light — essentially a water-and-humectant base with little emollient weight. With almost no emollient load it should absorb quickly and finish close to matte. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Diglycerin and Propanediol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

What the formula does

Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Diglycerin, Propanediol and Lauramidopropyl Betaine.

Who it suits

On richness alone it suits 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.

What it does not target

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.

What is not in it

Reading the full list, the formula is no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.

Where it fits in a routine

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.

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not clearance — ask your doctor about anything you use daily.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
2 ingredients could feed malassezia: Glyceryl Stearate SE, Potassium Cocoate. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive skin
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
