SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam
by SKIN1004 · skin_care
Editor's Take
A traditional soap-cream base upgraded with Papain enzymes and Himalayan salts to justify the pore-refining claim; effective on sebum, but the high pH and synthetic polymers keep it in the drugstore lane.

The Verdict
This is a competent daily foam cleanser that delivers on its pore-targeting promise through enzymatic exfoliation and mineral-salt texture support, not just lather. The Centella and botanical extracts add soothing credibility, and the modern preservative system keeps the ingredient deck cleaner than most drugstore foams. The trade-off: it's still built on a soap base, which means a higher pH than low-foam gel cleansers, and the synthetic polymers and chelators disqualify it from stricter clean frameworks. Worth it for oily or combination skin that wants a thorough cleanse with some textural refinement, but sensitive or dry skin should look elsewhere.
