Overview
This gel cleanser from 107 is formulated around a low pH to help support the skin barrier while cleansing, and it leans on a mix of chaga mushroom, mugwort and seven year aged vinegar along with ten botanical extracts and green tea leaf powder. It is positioned as a non stripping option, which is a common goal for cleansers made for sensitive or reactive skin.
The 4 fluid ounce bottle is made for all skin types and all skin tones, and it carries a natural ingredients claim along with cruelty free and paraben free labeling. The citrus scent name suggests a light fragrance rather than an unscented formula, which is worth knowing if you are sensitive to scented skincare.
With 129 ratings averaging 4.7 stars, this cleanser has built up a meaningfully sized track record for a smaller Korean beauty import, and the listing shows steady ongoing purchase activity.

Performance notes
Chaga mushroom and green tea leaf powder are included for their antioxidant reputation, while the aged vinegar and botanical extract blend is meant to support a gentle, low pH clean that does not disrupt the skin barrier the way a high pH soap based cleanser can. This combination is aimed at people who want their daily cleanse to also feel calming rather than purely functional.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 129 ratings is a strong score, especially for a specialty import cleanser rather than a mass market drugstore product. The consistency of that rating across well over a hundred reviews suggests the low pH, non stripping approach is working as intended for most buyers.

Frequently asked questions
What does a low pH cleanser actually do?
A low pH formula is designed to sit closer to the skin's own natural pH, which can help support the skin barrier compared to a high pH soap based cleanser. This is often marketed as gentler and less likely to leave skin feeling tight or stripped.
Is this cleanser fragrance free?
No, it carries a citrus scent name, so it is lightly fragranced rather than unscented. If you have fragrance sensitive skin, it is worth patch testing before making this your everyday cleanser.
What is the aged vinegar ingredient for?
The seven year aged vinegar is part of the botanical extract blend included alongside chaga mushroom and mugwort, aimed at supporting a calming, antioxidant rich cleanse. It is a common ingredient in some Korean skincare formulas rather than a typical Western cleanser component.
