innisfree's famed Volcanic line uses volcanic ash rich in minerals from Jeju that can absorb excessive sebum and dead skin cells due to its porous structure. The Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam ($13) is a refreshing cleanser with particles smaller than pores to wash away excess oil and impurities for a clearer, less shiny complexion. It also deeply cleanses pores with its dense bubbles - great for those with oily skin and clogged pores.

A cleanser that makes your skin feel tight after washing will be the bane of your existence if you have dry skin! It's important that you use a cleanser that hydrates the skin, rather than dry it out further. Try the Keep Cool Ocean Deep Cleansing Foam ($16.15) that has a soft, creamy texture to deeply clean pores while its miscella technology removes impurities and makeup without disrupting the skin's natural balance. Your skin will feel smoother, softer and more moisturised after using.

Products with lower pH means they are closer to the skin's natural pH level so they are less likely to cause irritation, making them great for those with sensitive skin. The PURITO Defence Barrier Ph Cleanser ($16.95) is mild and doesn't contain any of those nasties such as sulphates and artificial fragrance. It has a gel consistency that glides effortlessly onto the skin so there's no need to harshly tug on your already sensitive skin. It also deeply moisturises and calms at the same time.
