ETUDE: House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam

This is a pore‑cleansing foam wash from Etude House that’s specially formulated to clean deep into pores, remove excess oil, and help smooth skin texture. It’s often referred to as the “pore cleansing foam” from Etude.

🧼 What It Is

• A foaming face cleanser designed to deeply cleanse clogged pores
• Uses baking powder (sodium bicarbonate) and exfoliating particles to help remove oil, dirt, and dead skin cells
• Produces a rich, creamy lather that feels tightening and purifying on the skin

🌿 Key Ingredients & Action

• Baking powder / Sodium bicarbonate – helps absorb excess sebum and gently exfoliate within pores
• Lactic acid – provides gentle exfoliation and helps clarify texture
• Glycerin – humectant that helps maintain moisture so skin doesn’t feel overly stripped
• Micro‑cellulose / silica particles – physical exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and smooth surface texture

🧴 Benefits

• Deep pore cleansing: removes trapped oil, dirt, and residues that contribute to acne and dullness
• Gentle exfoliation: sloughs off dead skin cells for smoother, brighter skin tone
• Helps reduce appearance of blackheads and large pores by clearing sebum buildup
• Leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed, with less shine after rinsing

🧴 How to Use

1. Wet face with warm water.
2. Pump out a small amount and lather in hands (or with a gentle washcloth/sponge).
3. Massage onto face in light circular motions, concentrating on oily areas/T‑zone.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
5. Follow with toner and moisturizer.

👍 Best For

• Oily & combination skin (especially T‑zone)
• People with clogged pores, blackheads, or excess shine
• Those looking for deep pore cleansing daily or a few times a week.

✔️ Good daily pore cleaner for oily, combination, and congested skin
✔️ Helps refine texture + reduce shine
❗ May feel too strong for dry/sensitive types without extra hydration afterward
