Green Tea Amino Acid Cleansing Foam — Reddit Reviews
by innisfree
Updated August 22, 2026
Amino-acid-based cleanser favored in tretinoin routines; lightweight but not hydrating.
What the community says
A gentle foam cleanser leveraging amino acids to remove impurities without harsh stripping. It’s commonly used by people easing into tretinoin treatments because it’s simple and non-irritating. However, it lacks heavy moisturization and might need follow-up hydration with other products.
What this means for you
What people love
- Mild amino-acid formula avoids over-stripping the skin
- Compatible with tretinoin and sensitive skin routines
- Light, foaming texture rinses clean without residue
Watch out for
- Can feel drying without follow-up moisturizer
- May not sufficiently cleanse heavy makeup or sunscreen
- Minimal hydrating ingredients so layering is necessary
