Cleansing Water
A no-rinse micellar water that lifts makeup and sunscreen with a cotton pad. It is the easiest first cleanser for consumers to adopt, and the cheapest cleansing format to produce and ship at volume, which makes it a common opening SKU for new brands.

Sensitive-skin

Frequently asked
Does cleansing water need to be rinsed off?
Most Korean formulas are designed as no-rinse, though many brands still recommend a light rinse for oily skin. The manufacturer can tune the surfactant load in either direction.
