Overview
This gel to foam cleanser is built around LHA, along with beta glucan, green barley, and fermented rice, in a low pH formula meant for daily use. It is vegan and gluten free, and it does double duty as a cleanser and light makeup remover.
The 205 milliliter, 6.93 fluid ounce bottle is sized for regular use, and the gel to foam texture means it starts as a gel on dry skin and turns into a light foam once you add water, which many people find satisfying in a daily wash.
With a 4.6 star average across 381 ratings and 50,000 units bought in the past month, this cleanser is currently one of the more in demand picks in this lineup, suggesting the low pH, gentle exfoliation angle is resonating with a lot of shoppers.
Pros
- LHA offers a gentler style of exfoliation than stronger acids
- Gel to foam texture doubles as a light makeup remover
- Vegan and gluten free formula
- Beta glucan, green barley, and fermented rice add a hydration angle
- 50,000 bought in the past month shows strong current demand
Cons
- Ingredient list leans trend driven, so those wanting a simple, minimal formula may want to look elsewhere
- Low pH exfoliating formulas can still be too much for very reactive skin without easing in gradually
Performance notes
LHA, or lipohydroxy acid, is known for working more gently and at a slower pace than glycolic or salicylic acid, which fits a low pH gel to foam cleanser meant for daily use. The added beta glucan, green barley, and fermented rice lean toward supporting hydration and the look of smoother texture alongside that light exfoliation, rather than delivering an intense treatment in a single step.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 381 ratings paired with 50,000 units bought in the past month points to a cleanser that is both well liked and currently in high demand.

Frequently asked questions
What does LHA do in a cleanser?
LHA is a mild exfoliating acid that tends to work more slowly than glycolic or salicylic acid, which is why it shows up in gentler, everyday formulas like this one rather than stronger weekly treatments.
Is this cleanser vegan?
Yes, the formula is labeled vegan and also gluten free, which is worth knowing if those details matter for your routine.
Can this replace my makeup remover?
It is built to help with makeup removal as part of the cleansing step, but for heavier or waterproof makeup, following up with a dedicated remover may still give you a more thorough clean.
