At Just Cosmetics, you can shop authentic Korean water based cleansers in Cyprus, including gentle foam cleansers, gel cleansers and low-pH face washes for oily, dry, combination and sensitive skin types.

What is a water based cleanser?

A water based cleanser is usually a gel, foam or cream cleanser used with water to clean the skin after the first cleanse. It helps remove water-based impurities such as sweat, dirt and remaining residue from sunscreen or makeup.

Most Korean water based cleansers focus on gentle daily cleansing without leaving the skin feeling stripped or tight.

Best water based cleansers by skin type

• Oily or acne-prone skin: Choose a gentle foam or gel cleanser with ingredients such as salicylic acid, tea tree or heartleaf.
• Dry or dehydrated skin: Look for low-pH gel cleansers or creamy cleansers with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides or panthenol.
• Sensitive skin: Choose fragrance-free or mild formulas with soothing ingredients such as Centella, mugwort or allantoin.
• Combination skin: A balanced low-pH cleanser helps cleanse oily areas without over-drying the rest of the face.
• Visible pores or congestion: Daily gentle cleansing can help reduce buildup from excess sebum, sunscreen and pollution.

Low-pH Korean cleansers

Low-pH cleansers are very popular in Korean skincare because they help support the skin barrier while cleansing. They are often preferred by people with sensitive, dehydrated or easily irritated skin.

A gentle low-pH cleanser can leave the skin feeling clean, soft and comfortable instead of dry or squeaky.

How to use a water based cleanser

1. After oil cleansing: Use your water based cleanser as the second cleanse in the evening routine.
2. Apply on damp skin: Massage gently for around 30–60 seconds.
3. Rinse with lukewarm water: Avoid very hot water, especially if your skin is sensitive or dry.
4. Continue your routine: Follow with toner, essence, serum and moisturizer.

Double cleansing routine

The Korean double cleansing method usually starts with a cleansing oil or balm to dissolve makeup, SPF and excess sebum. The second step is a water based cleanser to remove remaining residue and leave the skin fresh and clean.

If you wear sunscreen daily, double cleansing in the evening can help cleanse the skin more effectively without needing harsh scrubs.
