Foam cleanser is the most common means for cleansing the skin of impurities and cosmetics. Unlike gel, foam has a more pleasant texture, penetrates deeper into the pores, and does not leave the skin feeling dry or tight. The rating of the best foam cleansers presents popular and effective products that have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin.
How to choose a foam for washing
You also need to approach the purchase of such a seemingly simple product as foam. And it’s not a matter of price - decent washbasins are found not only in luxury, although finding one among mass-market goods is indeed a little more difficult. First of all, you need to look at the composition of the product!
The fact is that foams with cheap aggressive components, along with dust and dirt, also wash away the natural protection of the skin - the lipid barrier that retains water in the tissues. But the presence of soft surfactants that gently and carefully cleanse the face indicates the good quality of the facial wash. It can be:
- Coco-Betaine (coco-betaine);
- Coco-Glucoside (coco-glucoside);
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine (cocamidopropyl betaine);
- Carpylyl/Capryl Glucoside (caprylyl/capryl glucoside).
In addition, it is good if the foam also contains various acids (Acid) - for example, lactic, salicylic, glycolic, as well as natural oils. This will allow you to cleanse your skin more deeply while washing, soften it and even out your complexion.
And our rating, compiled based on reviews from experts and ordinary customers, will help you choose a good foam of a particular brand.
And I come to you with a new rating. Today we will look at the best Korean facial washes. After all, cleansing is a necessary ritual that should not be neglected. But these cosmetic products must cope not only with their primary task, but also not violate the integrity of the epidermis.
If you skip this step, you will soon notice that the skin will stop breathing, rashes will appear on it, it will be rough, shiny and with sebaceous plugs. And after using the foam, all your subsequent products will be perfectly absorbed, improving the condition of the skin day after day.

4 Black pearls “Precious oils”
The next representative of the TOP is a cleansing foam from the famous Russian manufacturer Black Pearl. Provides gentle cleansing. It has a creamy texture, due to which it acts gently without damaging the protective layer of the epidermis. Due to the high content of bioactive oils (jojoba, olive and avocado) and vitamins, the effectiveness of the product is more pronounced and has a prolonged effect.
More suitable for dry skin. Does not leave behind a feeling of tightness. The face looks fresh and well-groomed, the dermis becomes velvety. Women are satisfied with the results. I like the availability of the product in most stores in the country and the reasonable price. The consumption is not entirely economical, but the low cost allows you to buy it again and again.

One of the best in the rating is the foam from Clean Line. Produced in Russia according to European quality standards. The main properties are intensive nutrition, deep cleaning and softening. Has a strong antiseptic effect. The texture is delicate, suitable for any skin type. Contains many useful substances, including natural plant extracts and oils.

It is noted that the foam perfectly removes waterproof makeup and does not sting the eyes. After use, the face is not only clean, it acquires a healthy tone, and there is no feeling of tightness. Dry skin is filled with moisture. Minor imperfections such as spots, peeling, redness and rashes disappear.
2 Natura Siberica “Ideal skin”
The Russian manufacturer produces organic cosmetics. Cleansing foam is no exception. It differs from its analogues in its natural composition, affordable price and high performance. Contains extracts of Siberian plants and herbs. Suitable for problem skin. Penetrates deep into pores, providing maximum cleansing from dust, cosmetics and dirt.
The product copes well with oily shine and blackheads, preventing their reappearance. This effect is achieved due to the presence of volcanic blueberries and white Kamchatka clay in the structure. The result of its use is a fresh appearance of the face, narrowed pores, absence of dirt and inflammation, and even skin tone. Judging by the reviews, Natura Siberica is one of the best products.

The best Korean foam cleansers

The popular Korean brand suggests turning your attention to the product with a healing effect TONY MOLY. Contains extracts of medicinal plants (lemon, acerola, aloe), glycerin, fruit and flower waters. Gently exfoliates, soothes, gives skin radiance. Does not contain preservatives, dyes or parabens. It is easy to apply and also easy to wash off without leaving a film.
The foam has earned many positive reviews from customers. Undoubtedly, I am pleased with the composition, which is 70% organic, the moisturizing effect and economical consumption. Can be used by girls prone to allergies. The only drawback (and not a significant one) is that the product is difficult to find on the open market. More often TONY MOLY is ordered via the Internet. But this does not prevent him from occupying worthy positions in the rankings of the best.
1 APIEU Deep Clean Foam Cleanser Moist
Another Korean representative of skincare cosmetics. Consists of mineral water, soda and fatty acids. Helps cope with problem skin. Fights blackheads in the “T” zone, on the nose and chin. Cleanses thoroughly and tightens pores. Effective against age spots. Thanks to it, the general condition of the skin improves, its surface and color are evened out, and the lipid balance returns to normal.
The foam found itself in the TOP of the best due to its significant advantages. It has a powerful tonic effect and helps tighten the oval of the face. It has been noticed that after using the product, pores become less noticeable, the fat content of the dermis decreases, and the surface is refreshed. Impurities and makeup disappear before your eyes. Buyers recommend using APIEU for problematic, “tired” skin.

3 Galderma Cetaphil DERMACONTROL

Cetaphil effectively removes impurities, excess sebum, and oily shine. Absolutely harmless, suitable for allergy sufferers. Smells pleasant and has an ultra-light texture.
Many people say that this is an expensive but very effective remedy. Perhaps one of the best. It is difficult to find on sale, you must order directly from the manufacturer. Thanks to him, the skin is transformed and “recovered.” The result is noticeable already after 3 weeks of use. It is very important that the product is approved by many dermatologists and cosmetologists. Not addictive. For teenage problems with the epidermis - an excellent option.
2 Vichy Purete Thermale
Among the many care products that Vichy offers, the ultra-light cleansing foam deserves special attention. Absolutely harmless, does not contain hormones or harsh aggressive substances. This is the main advantage. The base is thermal water, so the product is suitable for the most sensitive skin.
Purete Thermale accelerates metabolic processes, deeply nourishes, so that the face takes on a fresh look and healthy tone. Polyfructol in the composition gently exfoliates dead particles of the epidermis. The product is often praised for its unmatched quality. It copes with the tasks stated by the manufacturer perfectly. Works effectively: refreshes, does not cause allergies, gives a feeling of cleanliness, gets rid of blackheads. It is expensive, but is used economically.
1 La Roche-Posay
Representative of the luxury category. The cleanser has three main advantages: deep hydration, high tolerance and high-quality makeup removal.
