Core Product Details

Luxury Cleansing Through Sulwhasoo's Ginseng Science

Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Cleansing Foam brings the prestige house's decades of Korean ginseng research into the very first step of the skincare ritual. The velvety cream transforms into an abundant, moisture-rich foam that removes sunscreen, foundation, excess oil and daily impurities while helping skin feel comfortable rather than stripped. It is cleansing designed not as a purely functional step, but as the opening act of Sulwhasoo's Concentrated Ginseng anti-aging routine.

Ginseng Amino Complex™ Supports a Softer Post-Cleanse Feel

The formula is built around Sulwhasoo's Ginseng Amino Complex™, combining ginseng-derived ingredients with an extensive amino acid blend. Amino acids such as Glycine, Serine, Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid, Leucine, Alanine, Arginine, Proline, Threonine and Valine appear alongside Sodium PCA and Urea, helping create a more moisture-conscious cleansing experience. The goal is simple: wash thoroughly while leaving skin feeling replenished enough to move comfortably into the next skincare step.

Ginsenomics™ Extends the Concentrated Ginseng Heritage

Sulwhasoo's Ginsenomics™ technology is based on highly concentrated rare ginseng saponins developed through decades of research. In the wider Concentrated Ginseng line, the brand positions this technology around visible vitality, resilience and signs of aging. In this rinse-off format, the emphasis is less on transforming the skin through prolonged contact and more on integrating the brand's signature ginseng actives into a gentle, luxurious cleansing base.

Peptides Add Another Layer of Conditioning Care

The ingredient list includes multiple peptides such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11, Acetyl Heptapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-9, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Acetyl Octapeptide-3. Sulwhasoo also highlights its Ginseng Peptide™ concept as part of the formula's elasticity-focused story. Because this is a wash-off product, these ingredients are best understood as part of the cleanser's broader conditioning and premium anti-aging positioning rather than as substitutes for leave-on peptide treatments.

Dual Elastic Bubble Technology Creates a Cushion Between Hands and Skin

One of the cleanser's most sensorial features is its dense, resilient foam. Sulwhasoo describes its Dual Elastic Bubble Technology as creating delicate micro-bubbles that cushion the complexion and reduce unnecessary friction during cleansing. The lather remains rich and creamy rather than airy and fleeting, helping the cleansing step feel indulgent while still rinsing away cleanly.

Amino-Acid Surfactants Clean Without a Traditional Soap-Heavy Feel

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate and Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate form the heart of the cleansing system, supported by Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Coco-Glucoside and Decyl Glucoside. This combination is designed to remove daily residue effectively while maintaining a softer finish than strongly alkaline cleansing foams. Glycerin appears immediately after water, reinforcing the formula's hydration-focused character.

Proven Cleansing Satisfaction Without Sacrificing Comfort

In Sulwhasoo's two-week consumer evaluation with 33 Asian women, 100% reported that the cleanser felt gentle, left skin comfortable, produced rich long-lasting foam, effectively removed sunscreen and foundation, and rinsed without residue. The brand separately reports immediate soothing satisfaction after intensive facial care. These are brand-specific questionnaire results and should be viewed as supporting evidence rather than guaranteed individual outcomes.

Make the First Step Feel as Considered as the Last

Dispense a dime-sized amount into damp hands and work it into a generous lather. Massage the foam over damp skin using gentle circular movements, allowing the bubbles rather than pressure to do the cleansing, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. In the evening, pair it with an oil cleanser first when removing heavier makeup or water-resistant sunscreen.

Where Cleansing Begins to Feel Like Treatment

The cream slips between damp palms and suddenly expands into a dense, silken cloud—soft enough to make cleansing feel almost ceremonial. There is no rush to scrub, no need for squeaky-clean severity. The foam simply envelopes the complexion, carrying away the day while leaving behind the polished comfort associated with Sulwhasoo's ginseng ritual. It is the kind of cleanser that makes the first skincare step feel worthy of the same attention as serum and cream.
