SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Foam | Deep-Cleansing BHA Foam Cleanser (150ml)
SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Foam | Deep-Cleansing BHA Foam Cleanser (150ml)
Built Into a Daily Cleanser.
What It Is
SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Foam is a rich, deep-cleansing foam built around two real, specifically-dosed ingredients — 730mg Egg White (Albumen) Extract and 730mg Egg Yolk Extract — the same protein source behind the classic DIY egg white pore mask, here formulated into a daily foaming cleanser instead of a rinse-off mask. It's paired with Salicylic Acid and Sulfur for pore-clarifying support, softened by Centella Asiatica, Chamomile, and Licorice Root, and finished with Onsen-Sui — mineral-rich hot spring water — for a conditioning edge most foaming cleansers don't have. 150ml.
Why Egg White, Specifically
- Egg white face masks are a long-standing home remedy for tightening the look of pores and refining texture — the protein-rich albumen forms a temporary tightening film on skin as it sets, which is exactly why people have used it as a DIY pore treatment for generations.
- This formula takes that same ingredient and builds it into a proper cleanser, at a stated concentration (730mg) rather than a vague "egg extract" listed low on the ingredient panel.
- Egg yolk extract is added alongside it to help offset dryness — yolk carries natural lipids that balance out the protein-forward, tightening effect of the whites.
- Onsen-Sui (hot spring water) rounds out the formula — a trace-mineral-rich water traditionally used in Japanese and Korean skincare, included here as a conditioning base rather than plain water.
Know What You're Buying
This foam is built on a traditional soap base — fatty acids (myristic, palmitic, stearic, lauric acid) saponified with potassium hydroxide — which is what gives it that rich, dense lather and thorough cleansing feel. That also means it's a higher-pH formula than gentle, barrier-focused cleansers, and it's genuinely better suited to oily, congested, or makeup-heavy days than to dry or reactive skin. We'd rather tell you that upfront than have your skin tell you the same thing after the fact.
Key Ingredients
A protein-rich extract carrying amino acids and B vitamins, included at a specifically stated concentration. Contributes the temporary tightening, smoothing sensation the formula is named for and known for in traditional skincare use.
Included alongside the whites to add a lipid-rich conditioning element, helping offset the drying potential of a protein-forward, soap-based cleansing system.
An oil-soluble exfoliating acid known for working inside the pore lining to help clear excess sebum and debris — a natural pairing with a pore-focused cleansing formula.
A traditional blemish-care ingredient with a long history of use in clarifying formulas, contributing to the formula's overall pore-focused, deep-clean character.
Supporting Ingredients
A four-botanical soothing blend included to help balance out the clarifying actives, keeping the formula from tipping entirely into "harsh" territory despite its deep-cleansing base.
Naturally mineral-rich water used in place of plain water in part of the formula — a traditional inclusion in Japanese and Korean skincare valued for its trace mineral content and conditioning properties.
A blend of plant oils and derivatives added to soften the wash-off feel of a soap-based cleanser and leave skin from feeling completely stripped after rinsing.
Who It's For
- Oily & congested skin
- Blackhead- and pore-prone skin
- Heavy makeup or SPF days needing a thorough cleanse
- Skin that wants a rich, dense lather
- Second-step cleanse after an oil cleanser
- Those who miss a "proper deep clean" feeling
How To Use
- Don't skip the follow-up moisturizer. This formula cleanses thoroughly, which means it also benefits from being followed by hydration immediately after rinsing.
- Best used once daily on oily or congested skin — evening use to clear the day's oil and makeup is the most common way to use it. Twice-daily use may be too much for some skin types given the soap-based system.
- Pair with a gentler AM cleanser if your skin tends to feel tight — use this one at night and something lighter in the morning.
- Patch test first if you have known egg, soy, or sesame sensitivities.
- Store away from excess moisture in the shower to preserve the formula between uses.
