The Seoul 1988 Cleansing Foam combines 1% pine-derived centella (pine cica) with probiotics in a foam cleanser format. At $42.00 for 150ml, this is premium pricing for a cleanser, reflecting the higher-concentration hero ingredients and the niche Korean-indie positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Pine cica\" is a less common Korean skincare hero than standard centella asiatica. Pine bark and pine leaf extract contain pinosylvin and pycnogenol, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that complement centella's similar profile. The 1% concentration is meaningful (most centella cleansers use trace amounts for marketing purposes). Combined with probiotics (typically Lactobacillus ferment filtrate or similar), the formula supports the skin microbiome during cleanse rather than disrupting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cleanser lifts oil and residue using mild amino-acid-based surfactants rather than sulfates, which preserves the skin's acid mantle. Pine cica extract provides anti-inflammatory support during the cleanse, reducing post-wash redness and barrier stress. Probiotics support microbiome balance, which is important for preventing dysbiosis-related breakouts and sensitivity. The result is a gentle cleanse that leaves skin feeling calm rather than tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitive or redness-prone skin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pine cica's anti-inflammatory effect is meaningful.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrobiome-focused skincare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Probiotic support preserves skin flora.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrier recovery routines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle amino surfactants don't strip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombination skin with occasional reactivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balances cleansing power with calming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium-cleanser shoppers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concentrated hero ingredients over generic foam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 150ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice: $42.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHero actives: 1% pine cica, probiotics (Lactobacillus ferment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexture: creamy foam, lathers with water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragrance: mild, subtle pine note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse as the second cleanse after oil or balm cleanser. Dispense a pea-sized amount into damp hands, add water, and whip into foam between palms. Massage onto face in light circles for 30 to 45 seconds. Rinse with lukewarm water. Pat dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor morning-only cleanse on sensitive skin days, this works alone (no oil cleanser needed) if you didn't wear makeup or heavy SPF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it worth the premium price?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sensitive skin users, yes. The pine cica and probiotic additions are meaningful, not marketing. For normal skin with no barrier issues, cheaper gentle cleansers (ETUDE SoonJung at similar gentleness) work comparably well. Pay the premium if you specifically want pine cica's anti-inflammatory effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it remove makeup?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePartially. It handles light tinted moisturizer and SPF on its own, but heavier makeup needs an oil cleanser first. Always double cleanse when wearing full makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan it be used daily?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Twice daily is fine for most skin. For very dry or compromised skin, once daily (evening only) is better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the pH?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin-matched (approximately 5.5 to 6.5), like most well-formulated gentle cleansers. Avoids the high alkaline pH of traditional foam cleansers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does 150ml last?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 to 3 months of twice-daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with a pine cica or centella-based toner to continue the calming theme.
