Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser
A low-pH gel cleanser built on green plum (매실, maesil), a Korean fruit with a long culinary history that the brand uses for its hanbang framing. It is a modest, well-behaved daily cleanser: light foam, quick rinse, no tightness afterwards. Nothing about it is remarkable, which is arguably the point — it fills the second-cleanse slot cheaply and consistently, and it pairs naturally with the rest of the range.
Who it suits
Combination and normal skin looking for an everyday second cleanse that does not strip, and people building a first routine who want the low-pH box ticked without overthinking it. Oily skin will find it adequate but not bracing. If you have dry or reactive skin, a milk or cream cleanser is a more comfortable choice than any gel, including this one.
How to use it
A small amount on damp skin, lathered lightly in the hands first, massaged for around thirty seconds and rinsed with lukewarm water. Suitable morning and evening. At night, use it after an oil cleanser or balm rather than on its own if you have worn makeup or a substantial layer of sunscreen.
