Medicube Zero Foam Cleanser

The wash that leaves the cheeks tight and the forehead squeaking. Skin that looks dull by mid morning even though it was clean an hour ago. This foaming cleanser works the other way round: it takes the oil, the sweat and the dull film the city leaves behind, and it leaves the water in the skin alone.

A 120 g concentrate that whips up into a dense white lather, placed second in the routine, after an oil in the evening and on its own in the morning.

• The pore emptied of the day's build-up: the lather is fine enough to get into the dip of the pore, where microdust and loosened dead cells collect. What comes away is what was sitting there, not the skin's own oil film.
• Clean without the stripped feeling: the foam is built on a fatty-acid soap base, so it rinses off completely and leaves nothing behind to dull the skin. The cheeks stay comfortable, which is exactly what fails with a bar of soap.
• A calm face after the rinse: lemon balm, quince and orange blossom flower go into the lather alongside purslane and soapwort leaf. The face comes out of cold water without the pink flush.
• Gentle enough twice a day: nothing here asks for a rest day. Skin that cannot take a scrub can run this one morning and evening indefinitely.

Camellia japonica flower extract and wintergreen leaf sit in the back half of the list, and the whole thing smells faintly of orange peel rather than of soap.

Recommended for skin that tightens after washing, combination faces that go shiny by noon, mornings where the only step before SPF is a wash, and anyone pairing a cleansing oil with a second cleanse.

Step 2 · Water cleanser

a pea of concentrate in wet palms, worked into a lather before it touches the face.

• Wet your face with lukewarm water.
• Lather the foam between your palms until it goes white and dense.
• Roll it over the face for twenty seconds, longer on the nose and chin.
• Rinse, then go to your toner while the skin is still damp.

Morning and evening, every day. A pea each time, so 120 g runs around two and a half months on twice-daily use. If the nose is the real problem rather than the whole face, the Zero Pore SA Clear Capsule Cleansing Foam puts salicylic acid into beads that burst in the palm instead.
