Super light but still feels cleansing

I’ve only used this product now for a week but I think I really like it so far! It’s really light and feels nice on your skin. I don’t have a lot of acne but I would say my skin looks clearer since I started using it.

My honest review on The Face Shop Duo

My Experience Using This Foaming Cleanser

How I Use It: The Double Cleanse Method

The instructions recommend using it as part of a double-cleansing routine. I’ve been following their advice: first using The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil to melt away my makeup and SPF, and then following up with this foaming cleanser as the second step . And let me tell you, this is where it truly shines.

After massaging the oil onto my dry face, I wet my hands, work a small amount of the foaming cleanser into a lather, and gently massage it onto my skin. The lather is incredibly rich and dense—it feels so luxurious and spa-like! I rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry .

The Results: Clean, Bright, But...

Used in this double-cleansing system, my skin feels immaculately clean, soft, and hydrated. It effectively removes every last trace of makeup and impurities without any irritation. I’ve noticed my complexion looks brighter and feels incredibly smooth .

However, I decided to test it once as a standalone morning cleanser, and I had a different experience. On its own, it can be quite stripping. I have combination skin, and it left my cheeks feeling a tad dry and tight. This is a common trait of foaming cleansers, and it confirms that this product is best used as a second cleanser rather than on its own, especially if you have dry or combination skin like me .

Pros & Cons At A Glance

👍 Pros 👎 Cons

✅ Leaves skin feeling deeply cleansed and soft ❌ The fragrance, though mild, may not suit all

Who Is This For?

I’d highly recommend this foaming cleanser to:

· Those who practice or want to start double cleansing.
· People with normal, combination, or oily skin types.
· Anyone looking for a cleanser to help tackle dullness and uneven texture.
· Fans of vean and clean beauty products.

Final Verdict

Rating: 4.2 / 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser is a fantastic second-step cleanser that has earned a permanent spot in my evening routine. When used correctly after an oil-based cleanser, it delivers on its promises: my skin is left feeling clean, refreshed, and glowing without any tightness. Just remember, this is a team player—it works best with its cleansing oil partner! If you're curious about double cleansing or want to add a piece of K-beauty magic to your regimen, this is a great, affordable option to try.

Great two-step cleansing system!

The Face Shop's Vegan Cleansing Duo is available at Trade Secrets Canada. I’ve been using the pair as a double cleanse for my nightly makeup removal routine. This two-step system is simple to use. The Vegan Light Cleansing Oil melts away all of my lipstick, mascara and foundation without having to scrub my face. Following up with the Vegan Foaming Cleanser, it washes off all of the remaining residue. The vegan formulation is a major plus. Great combo of products.

Amazing for double cleansing

I love Korean skincare I think it’s some of the best out there, and this is no different! I was so excited to try this out and after the first time my skin felt so smooth and clean after a double cleanse with both of these products. After a week my skin was glowing! Great for sensitive skin types at types and has no scent so great for sensitive noses too!

A great cleansing duo

As someone with acne prone skin and was advised to double cleanse their skin this duo is fantastic! Both products are very easy to apply and glide on the skin without stripping their moisture. I would definitely recommend this duo to anyone wanting to double cleanse!
