SK-II Foaming Facial Cleanser gentle hydrating face wash 3.6 oz — PITERA® foam for smoother, radiant skin

SK-II Foaming Facial Cleanser is a gentle, hydrating face wash that uses over 90% PITERA® plus white willow extract to lift makeup and impurities while preserving moisture and skin barrier health.

This silky foaming cleanser from SK-II is formulated to remove dirt, oil and light makeup without stripping skin of essential hydration. The formula combines the brand’s signature PITERA®—a fermented bio-ingredient rich in vitamins, amino acids and minerals—with white willow extract to soothe and gently exfoliate. Designed to create a fine, cushiony foam, the cleanser rinses clean to reveal a smoother, more luminous-looking complexion while supporting normal skin pH.

How does this cleanser fit into a daily skincare routine?

Use the Foaming Facial Cleanser as the second step in a double-cleanse or alone as your morning and evening wash. It works well after an oil-based makeup remover and before serums and moisturizers to ensure subsequent products absorb into clean skin.

• Apply a pearl-sized amount to damp skin and lather gently.
• Massage in circular motions across face and neck for 30–60 seconds.
• Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry before treating with essence or moisturizer.

What key ingredients make it effective without drying the skin?

The cleanser centers on PITERA®, a fermented complex containing micro-nutrients that support overall skin texture and radiance. White willow extract provides a gentle source of salicylic acid to help remove dead skin cells and balance sebum, while amino acids and conditioning agents help maintain hydration and a comfortable skin feel.

• PITERA®: supplies vitamins, minerals and amino acids for smoother-looking skin.
• White willow extract: mild exfoliation and sebum regulation.
• Amino acids and moisturizers: preserve moisture and skin pH.

Will it remove makeup and feel gentle on sensitive skin?

This foaming formula doubles as a light makeup remover for everyday wear, lifting foundation and sunscreen without harsh scrubbing. Its creamy texture transforms into a soft foam that cleans thoroughly yet feels conditioning on the skin, making it suitable for many sensitivities, though those with extreme reactivity should patch-test first.

• Effective on light makeup and daily sunscreen.
• Cream-to-foam texture reduces friction during cleansing.
• Formulated to avoid over-drying, retaining a velvety finish.

How much product do I need and what results can I expect?

A pearl-sized amount is enough to create a rich lather for the entire face and neck. With regular use, you can expect skin that appears smoother, feels softer and looks more radiant as impurities and dead surface cells are gently removed.

• Pearl-sized dose creates ample foam for full-face cleansing.
• Daily use helps improve texture and surface clarity over time.
• Leaves skin prepped for essences and moisturizers to penetrate.

Who is this for: SK-II Foaming Facial Cleanser is crafted for anyone seeking a luxurious, hydrating daily wash that balances effective cleansing with moisture preservation. It suits combination, normal and dry skin types, and those exploring J-beauty-inspired routines that prioritize gentle, fermented ingredients for improved surface texture and visible radiance. If you have extremely sensitive or acne-prone skin, test a small area before regular use or consult your dermatologist.
