Cleansers

Your First Step to Flawless Skin

In Korean skincare, cleansing is an essential ritual to maintain clear, hydrated, and balanced skin. A good cleanser ensures you start with a clean canvas, removing dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Our cleanser collection at IM AEGYO offers products for all skin types, helping you choose the right fit for your unique needs.

Why We Love Double Cleansing

In the evening, we recommend the double cleansing method, a technique used in Korean skincare to thoroughly cleanse the skin. This two-step process includes using an oil-based cleanser first to break down makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove the remaining impurities and refresh your skin.

If you’re cleansing your face and it feels tight, like you’ve just had a facelift, then it’s time to switch to a gentler cleanser. A proper cleanser should leave your skin feeling soft, hydrated, and balanced, not dry and tight.

Choosing the Right Cleanser for Your Skin Type

For Oily Skin:

Choose a foaming cleanser that effectively removes excess oil and prevents clogged pores. These cleansers have a refreshing, deep-cleansing feel without leaving skin feeling overly dry.

For Dry Skin:

Look for cream-based or gel cleansers that gently remove impurities while maintaining moisture. These products are hydrating and soothing, perfect for keeping your skin plump and nourished.

For Sensitive Skin:

A low pH and gentle cleanser, such as a cream or oil cleanser, will cleanse without irritating or stripping your skin. Avoid harsh foaming cleansers, as they may disrupt your skin’s natural barrier.

For Combination Skin:

A mild gel-based or balm cleanser works well to balance both oily and dry areas, cleansing deeply without over-drying. These formulas help normalize the skin's natural moisture balance.

How to Choose the Right Cleansing Products

  1. Start with a Cleanser that Matches Your Skin’s Needs:

    • Oily Skin: Go for foam cleansers to control shine and minimize pores.
    • Dry Skin: Choose creamy or hydrating cleansers that cleanse while replenishing moisture.
    • Acne-Prone Skin: Use AHA, BHA cleanser 2-3 times a week
    • Sensitive Skin: Pick non-foaming, low pH cleansers that calm irritation.
    • Combination Skin: Opt for mild cleansers that can tackle oil while moisturizing dry patches.

  2. Stick to the Double Cleansing Method at Night: Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser to finish off the job.

  3. Gentle Cleansing in the Morning: Use a gentle water-based cleanser to start your day without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
