Soon Jung pH 5.5 Foam Cleanser

Soon Jung pH 5.5 Foam Cleanser is a gentle Korean foam cleanser made for sensitive and easily irritated skin. This mild formula creates a rich, creamy lather that removes impurities without causing tightness or dryness. The cleanser features Panthenol and Madecassoside to soothe irritation and protect the skin barrier. With a pH of 5.5 that matches healthy skin, this hypoallergenic, fragrance-free formula provides effective cleansing while keeping sensitive skin comfortable.

Why pH 5.5 Is the Ideal Level

Healthy skin has a natural pH of around 5.5. This slightly acidic level protects the skin barrier and helps defend against bacteria and irritation. Many cleansers have high pH levels that disrupt this natural balance.

What Happens with High pH Cleansers

• Skin barrier becomes weakened

• Natural moisture gets stripped away

• Skin feels tight and dry after washing

• Irritation and sensitivity increase

The pH 5.5 Benefit

This cleanser is formulated at pH 5.5, which exactly matches healthy skin. This means:

• No disruption to the skin's acid mantle

• Natural moisture barrier stays protected

• Skin feels comfortable after cleansing

• Barrier function remains strong

Key Ingredients for Sensitive Skin

These ingredients work together to cleanse while keeping sensitive skin calm and hydrated.

How Panthenol and Madecassoside Work

This cleanser contains two powerful soothing ingredients that make it ideal for reactive skin:

Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — This ingredient penetrates the skin and converts to Vitamin B5. It strengthens the skin barrier, reduces moisture loss, and helps skin feel soft and supple. Panthenol also supports the skin's natural healing process.

Madecassoside — Derived from Centella Asiatica, this compound is known for its calming and repairing properties. It helps reduce redness, soothe irritation, and protect the skin from external stressors. Studies show Madecassoside supports collagen production and skin healing.

Together, they provide gentle care that soothes while you cleanse.

The Difference Between pH 5.5 Foam and pH 6.5 Whip

The Soon Jung line offers two cleanser options. Here is how they compare:

Both cleansers contain Panthenol and Madecassoside and suit sensitive skin. The pH 5.5 version is closer to the skin's natural acidity, making it ideal for those who need maximum barrier protection.
