P.CALM UnderPore Foam Cleanser

Functional foam cleanser for acne-prone skin

This cleansing foam is registered with the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as a functional cosmetic for acne-prone skin. P.CALM's patented ingredient BATECA™ combines Centella Asiatica and salicylic acid to dissolve sebum deep within pores while soothing sensitive skin. The fragrance-free, dye-free formula is ideal for anyone looking to care for their skin gently from the very first cleansing step.

Cleansing power confirmed through 7 human application tests

Clinical trials conducted on 20 participants confirmed a range of benefits.

• 97.70% pore debris removal after a single use
• 49.99% reduction in sebum secretion after 4 weeks
• 19.29% improvement in whiteheads after 4 weeks
• 96.90% fine dust removal (tested on 32 participants)

With a skin irritation index of 0.00 and passing a 24-hour patch test, it's safe even for sensitive skin. Clinical testing also confirmed improvement in blackheads and temporary enhancement of skin brightness.

Soothing ingredients and recommended skin types

Formulated with five soothing ingredients: guaiazulene, madecassoside, aloe vera leaf extract, tea tree leaf oil, and bay leaf extract. Enhanced further with centella extract, panthenol, and allantoin to gently cushion skin that's vulnerable to irritation during cleansing. Recommended for those concerned with acne-prone skin, oily and combination skin in need of sebum control, and sensitive skin seeking a gentle cleanser. However, a patch test is recommended before use for children under 3 years old or those with hypersensitive skin.

First-step cleansing for acne-prone skin

A foam cleanser is the foundation of your skincare routine. This product is registered with Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as a functional cosmetic for acne-prone skin, making it especially suitable if you're dealing with breakouts. On makeup days, use a cleansing oil first, then follow up with this cleanser to thoroughly clear away impurities deep within your pores.

Gentle enough for daily use, morning and night

With a clinically confirmed skin irritation index of 0.00, you can use this cleanser twice a day without worry. In the morning, it removes sebum produced overnight; in the evening, it washes away fine dust and the day's buildup. Clinical testing confirmed 96.90% fine dust removal, so it's more than up to the task after a day outdoors.

Build a rich lather and massage gently

Wet your hands, dispense an appropriate amount, and work it into a generous foam. Apply the foam all over your face and massage in circular motions for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pay a little extra attention to the T-zone and around the nose where sebum tends to accumulate, then lightly touch the eye and lip areas before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Next-step pairings by skin concern

• Acne-prone skin: After cleansing, follow with a lightweight toner, then layer on a calming serum with centella for a synergistic effect
• Oily skin: Clinical testing showed a 49.99% improvement in sebum secretion after 4 weeks of use, so stay consistent and finish with a light hydrating cream
• Blackheads and whiteheads: Incorporate a clay mask 1–2 times a week to support pore care

Storage and usage notes

Due to the nature of anionic surfactants, the formula may appear thinner or show small granules with temperature changes—this doesn't affect quality, so no need to worry. Store at room temperature and use within 12 months of opening. This product contains salicylic acid (a BHA), so if you're using it on children under 3 or have a history of sensitivity, we recommend doing a patch test first.
