As a Korean skincare enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for gentle yet effective cleansers that can keep my skin clean without stripping it of its natural moisture. Enter the IUNIK Centella Bubble Foaming Vegan Facial Cleanser—a product that ticks all the boxes for those who are obsessed with soothing, hydrating, and plant-powered skincare. After using it for several weeks, I can confidently say this is a must-have in my daily routine.Packaging & First Impressions:IUNIK’s packaging is simple, minimalistic, and chic—a trend I love in Korean skincare. The cleanser comes in a sleek white pump bottle with soft pastel accents, making it look aesthetically pleasing on any skincare shelf. The pump dispenses a good amount of foam with one press, which is not only hygienic but also practical for quick, easy use.Formula & Ingredients:What really makes this cleanser stand out is its 69% Centella Asiatica Extract, which is the star ingredient. Centella, also known as Cica, is a powerhouse in Korean skincare. It’s known for its calming, anti-inflammatory properties, and it’s fantastic for sensitive or irritated skin. Personally, my skin reacts to a lot of cleansers with redness or tightness, but this one leaves my skin feeling soothingly calm after each wash. The formula also features other skin-loving ingredients like glycerin, which helps lock in moisture, making it ideal for dry and dehydrated skin like mine.The fact that it’s vegan and free of harmful chemicals (like parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances) gives me peace of mind, especially since my skin can be quite reactive to harsh ingredients. I’m also always looking for more eco-friendly options, so the clean, conscious formulation is a big plus.Texture & Application:This cleanser is a foaming one, but it’s not the type that leaves your face feeling dry or squeaky. When dispensed, it comes out as a light, airy foam that feels incredibly soft on the skin. I love that I don’t have to manually lather it up—it’s already pre-foamed, making it a convenient option for both morning and evening routines.When applied, it spreads easily and feels gentle, almost like a cloud on your face. It’s a perfect balance between being effective at removing dirt and makeup, while still feeling pampering and hydrating. I have combination skin, and I appreciate that it doesn’t leave my T-zone feeling overly oily or dry; instead, it maintains a nice, balanced, and comfortable finish.Cleansing Power:Now, for the all-important cleansing power. As someone who wears sunscreen daily and occasionally light makeup, I was impressed by how well this cleanser removed daily grime and SPF without being overly harsh. It doesn’t strip the skin, but it gets rid of dirt, oil, and residue efficiently, leaving my face feeling fresh but never tight. I wouldn’t rely on it as a first step in a double cleanse for heavy makeup (a micellar water or oil cleanser works best for that), but for daily use, it’s more than enough to leave my skin clean and calm.I’ve also noticed that my skin looks less irritated and red after cleansing, which I attribute to the Centella Asiatica extract’s calming effects. My skin feels more balanced overall, which is a big win, especially when you have sensitive or easily-reactive skin.Skin Feel & Results:After using the IUNIK Centella Bubble Foaming Cleanser consistently for a few weeks, my skin feels hydrated, calm, and soft. I don’t experience that tight or stripped feeling that some foaming cleansers leave behind. It definitely leaves my skin feeling nourished, rather than squeaky clean in a harsh way.Another thing I love is that this cleanser doesn’t irritate my eyes. Some foaming cleansers can be too harsh or sting when they get near the eyes, but this one is surprisingly gentle. This has made it a go-to option for my morning routine, where I need something quick and effective to start the day. I also use this as part of my evening double cleanse routine, and it is just as effective in removing the day.
