SKINSIGNAL Clay Enzyme Cleanser (White)
By Nur → Last verified 10/26/2026
What we found
Based on how this product compares to others in the cleansers category, cross-referenced against retailer listings and market data.
Strengths
- + The only cleanser in the pool meeting the ≤10-ingredient minimal need (9–10 ingredients) that still clears every floor
- + The clay is the formula, not a tint: kaolin disclosed at 10% (100,000 ppm) in a mild SCI + glutamate starch base
- + A genuine dual role — second cleanse, or a 60-second clay pack with less water — from the brand's own directions
- + Fragrance-free on the regulatory INCI of record, with a recurring no-tightness finish in reviews
Worth knowing
- - Thin evidence: 35 Hwahae reviews, no finished-product test, and the Evidence floor is met exactly (6/15) — confidence is LIMITED-DATA
- - Version flag: one disclosure copy includes salicylic acid and the other does not; the '0.5% BHA' figure is a reviewer's claim, unverified
- - Premium per-gram price, with 'not affordable' the top con in reviews; Value floor met exactly
- - One reviewer found it too strong for daily use — 2–3x weekly is the safer pattern for some
- - Marketplace metadata lists an 'Orchid' scent that contradicts the fragrance-free INCI — we follow the INCI, but the conflict is on record
Key ingredients
These are the ingredients SKINSIGNAL highlights for this product, cross-checked against general dermatological and cosmetic-chemistry sources, not a full INCI list.
Fragrance: confirmed fragrance-free.
| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Kaolin (100 | A specific active or extract in this formula. | Not yet independently verified against general dermatology sources. |
| 000 ppm / 10%) | A specific active or extract in this formula. | Not yet independently verified against general dermatology sources. |
| Papain | A protein-digesting enzyme from papaya. | Gently loosens dead skin cells on the surface in enzyme cleansers.Note: Because it comes from papaya, people with a papaya allergy may want to check before using it. |
| Sodium hyaluronate | The salt form of hyaluronic acid, commonly used for its water solubility and stability in formulas; molecular weight varies by product rather than being uniformly smaller. | Draws and holds moisture the same way hyaluronic acid does; how easily it absorbs depends on the specific molecular weight used, which formulas don't always disclose. |
| Madecassoside | One of centella asiatica's key active compounds, often isolated and purified. | A soothing, antioxidant compound studied for calming sensitive and reactive skin and supporting barrier repair. |
| Centella asiatica extract | A plant extract, also called Cica or tiger grass, long used in traditional medicine for wound healing. | Calms redness and irritation and supports the skin barrier; some preclinical and limited clinical research suggests it may also support collagen production, though more rigorous long-term studies are still needed to confirm this. |
| Glucose | A specific active or extract in this formula. | Not yet independently verified against general dermatology sources. |
