Best Overall Alternative
- Size: 100 ml
- Price per ml: $0.09/ml (original $0.06/ml)
The why
A foaming gel cleanser built around glycerin, Prunus Mume Fruit Water, and mild surfactants for morning washes or second cleansing. Oily and combination skin tend to love the clean finish; dry, tret-irritated skin can find it stripping.
One minus

See alternativesOil-control cleanser with genuine HG status
- Size: 150 ml
- Price per ml: $0.07/ml (original $0.06/ml)
The why
A rinse-off salicylic acid cleanser with willow bark water, tea tree oil, and lemon peel oil, aimed at oily, clogged skin. It works best a few nights weekly; dry or sensitized faces may find it stripping and irritating.
One minus
Can leave skin dry, grey, or stripped
#3
Best for Skin Barrier
- Size: 220 ml
- Price per ml: $0.07/ml (original $0.06/ml)
The why
A thin, non-foaming cleansing milk built around sunflower seed oil and yam-root extract for low-stripping morning washes or first cleansing steps. Dry, tret-treated, reactive skin gets the soft finish; makeup wearers and residue-haters should look elsewhere.
One minus
Leaves a stubborn film or greasy residue
Good forSensitive Skin, Dry Skin
Both recommended for Skin Barrier.
