Perfect Balance Matcha Hydrating Foam Cleanser — Reddit Reviews
by B Lab
Updated September 24, 2026
Matcha foam cleanser that cleans without stripping; rare gentle foamer.
What the community says
A foaming cleanser with glycerin, betaine, allantoin, ceramide NP, and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid that people keep using when tretinoin or rosacea makes everything sting. It suits sensitive, acne-prone, and combo skin. Very dry skin may still want a heavier second cleanse.
What this means for you
What people love
- Cleanses without that tight, squeaky finish
- Surprisingly gentle for tretinoin nights
- Matcha, allantoin, ceramide NP, and beta-glucan in the mix
Watch out for
- Very dry skin may still need a heavier second cleanse
- Foam texture can be too cleansing if you want a super-creamy wash
- Rosacea and sensitive-skin users still need to patch test YMMV
