Dear, Klairs Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser

⏱ 2 min read
Quick answer: Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser is Dear, Klairs's water cleanser (gel / foam). Dry and sensitive skin that still wants the ritual of a foaming wash without the tight, stripped after-feel.

A long-established low-pH cream-to-foam cleanser aimed at dry and comfort-seeking skin. It produces a soft, small-bubble lather rather than a squeaky one, and it is formulated without added fragrance, which is why it turns up so often in recommendations for reactive skin. Klairs has kept the formula stable for years, and it is one of the few gentle foaming cleansers with a genuinely long track record on the international market.

Who it suits

Dry and sensitive skin that still wants the ritual of a foaming wash without the tight, stripped after-feel. A sound morning cleanser and a reliable second cleanse at night. Oily and heavily congested skin will find it too soft to feel like it has done the job and will be better served by a brisker low-pH foam.

How to use it

Lather a small amount in wet hands, massage over damp skin for twenty to thirty seconds, and rinse lukewarm. Morning and evening. At night, use after an oil or balm if you have worn makeup or sunscreen. Apply toner or moisturiser while the skin is still slightly damp for the best comfort.

⚠️ Worth knowing: It is not powerful enough to remove a water-resistant sunscreen on its own — plenty of people use it as a single evening cleanse and wonder why their skin looks congested a fortnight later. "Rich moist" describes how it feels during and after washing, not a moisturising benefit that persists. Any cleanser's job is to leave without a trace, and this one does exactly that.
