Fraijour Alchemic Ginsenoside Oil to Foam Cleanser is a dual-phase facial cleanser that transitions from an oil-based texture to a lightweight foam upon contact with water. This formula is designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum while providing gentle exfoliation and hydration. The 7.41 oz (210 ml) size offers a practical amount for daily use.

The key active ingredient is ginsenoside, a compound derived from ginseng root known for its soothing and antioxidant properties. The formula also contains PHA (polyhydroxy acid) and LHA (lipohydroxy acid), two mild exfoliating agents that help remove dead skin cells and refine pores without causing irritation. PHA is known for its gentle, hydration-friendly exfoliation, while LHA offers deeper pore-targeting action suitable for oily or combination skin.

This cleanser is particularly suited for individuals seeking a non-stripping cleansing experience that maintains the skin’s moisture barrier. The oil phase initially breaks down waterproof or long-wear makeup, then emulsifies into a soft foam that rinses cleanly, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. It is appropriate for normal, dry, combination, and sensitive skin types, though those with very dry or compromised skin may wish to patch test due to the mild exfoliating acids.

The product’s formulation avoids harsh sulfates and alcohol, relying instead on a balanced blend of cleansing and conditioning ingredients. It can be used both as a first and second step in a double-cleansing routine, or as a standalone cleanser for lighter makeup days. The neutral herbaceous scent is mild and does not linger. Regular use supports a clearer, smoother complexion without over-drying or disrupting the skin’s natural balance.
