| Verdict | Sioris's hero cleanser — fermented apple water (Pyrus malus fruit water) leading the INCI, plus glucoside-based gentle surfactants and Centella asiatica extract. Low-pH, EWG-green-rated, and fragrance-free. The clean-beauty K-beauty answer to Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser, with fermented apple as the ingredient differentiator. | Widely considered the best cleansing balm in K-beauty at any price. The olive plus sea buckthorn plus squalane base melts makeup and sunscreen effortlessly, and the orange oil scent is subtle rather than artificial. Leaves skin clean, nourished, and never stripped. Expensive, but a single jar lasts months and the experience is genuinely luxurious. |
