Texture & Feel

A soft, ampoule-like gel cleanser that transforms into fine, dense micro-bubbles when mixed with water. It provides a smooth cleansing experience and is designed to leave the skin feeling fresh, hydrated, and comfortable rather than tight or stripped.

Product Overview

IUNIK designed this cleanser around a barrier-first cleansing concept. The formula combines cleansing surfactants with moisturizing and barrier-supporting ingredients to help remove impurities while maintaining skin comfort.

The product features 3rd-generation mushroom-derived Beta-Glucan and an Aqua Ceramide concept built around Ceramide NP and Hydrogenated Lecithin. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid, Phytosterols, Panthenol, Niacinamide, and amino acids to support hydration and skin conditioning during cleansing.

The cleanser offers two application methods: applying it directly to dry skin for deeper cleansing of sunscreen and light makeup, or applying it to damp skin for a gentler foaming cleanse.
