Will it dry my skin out?

That is the problem it is designed around. The lather sits on a fatty-acid soap base with no sulfates, and glycerin is the second ingredient on the list, which is unusually high for something that rinses off after half a minute. Innisfree describes the finish as non-stripping. If your skin runs very dry in winter, follow it quickly with a toner and moisturiser rather than leaving it bare.

What does the amino acid in the name refer to?

Two separate things, and both are on the ingredient list. Arginine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid appear in the lower half of the formula as amino acids in their own right. Separately, one of the cleansing agents is potassium cocoyl glycinate, derived from the amino acid glycine rather than from a sulfate. So the name describes the chemistry of the wash itself as much as anything added to it.

Is a pH published for it?

Innisfree does not print a figure for this one, so we will not quote one either. What we can tell you is how it is built: the foam comes from myristic, lauric, stearic and palmitic acids saponified with potassium hydroxide, which is the traditional Korean cleansing-foam base. If a specific pH matters to your routine, a low-pH gel cleanser is the more predictable choice.

How often can I use it?

Morning and night is Innisfree's own guidance, and a 150ml tube lasts a long while at a pea-sized amount per wash. If your skin leans dry, once a day in the evening with a plain water rinse on waking is a reasonable adjustment. Nothing in the formula limits how many days a week you reach for it, so use it as often as your skin stays comfortable.

Yes. Fragrance sits fourteenth on the ingredient list, so the scent is a deliberate part of the product rather than a trace. It is a light green note that goes down the drain with the foam. If added scent is something your skin reacts to, this is one to skip rather than test, and a fragrance-free foaming wash will be the calmer choice.

Does it contain sulfates?

No. Neither sodium laureth sulfate nor sodium lauryl sulfate appears anywhere on the list, and Innisfree makes the point plainly. The foam is made instead from fatty acids saponified with potassium hydroxide, helped along by lauryl glucoside, lauryl hydroxysultaine and a glycine-derived cleansing agent. It is a different route to the same dense lather. Sulfate-free is not automatically gentler, but it does change how skin feels on rinsing.

Where does it go in my routine?

First thing when you wake up, and after your oil cleanser at night. It is water-based, so it belongs before toner, essence and everything that follows them. Wet your face, build the foam in your palms rather than directly on skin, massage for twenty or thirty seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water and carry on while skin is still damp.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Innisfree's Green Tea Amino Acid Cleansing Foam is a water-based wash for morning and evening, and its whole job happens in about thirty seconds. A pea-sized amount of the thick white cream whips up into a dense, fine lather in wet palms, lifts away sweat, sebum and the day's grime, then rinses off with lukewarm water.

The lather comes from fatty acids and potassium hydroxide forming a classic soap base inside the tube, which is why the formula carries no sulfates at all. Glycerin sits second on the ingredient list, high enough to matter, and a glycine-derived cleansing agent softens the wash further. Innisfree describes the finish as non-stripping, and that is the point of the whole design: skin that does not feel tight while you reach for a toner.

Both halves of the name are on the list. Green tea appears as Camellia sinensis leaf extract, the Jeju leaf Innisfree built its reputation on. The amino acid side is a trio of free amino acids — arginine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid — with hyaluronic acid, ceramide NP and snow mushroom filling out the tail of the formula.

It is lightly scented, so skin that reacts to fragrance may prefer something plain. And it is a second-step cleanser: for a full face of makeup or long-wear sunscreen, Innisfree suggests an oil cleanser first.

Concerns & Benefits

Your Concerns

1
Dehydration
Skin that feels tight and papery in the minute between rinsing and your first layer.
2
Oiliness
A film of sebum by mid-afternoon that makes the whole face look shiny.

How To Use

1Use morning and night — as your first step on waking, and after an oil cleanser in the evening.
2Squeeze a pea-sized amount into wet palms and work it into a rich lather before it touches your face.
3Massage gently over damp skin for twenty to thirty seconds, keeping clear of the eye area.
4Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then move on to your toner while skin is still damp.
5If you are wearing heavy makeup or a long-wear sunscreen, reach for an oil cleanser before this one.

Frequently asked questions

Does it take makeup off?

It handles a normal day — sunscreen residue, sweat, sebum and light makeup — but it is not built to strip a full face on its own. Innisfree positions it as the second half of a double cleanse, so for long-wear foundation or a heavy sunscreen, reach for an oil cleanser or balm first and follow with this. On a bare-faced morning it works perfectly well by itself.
