Ingredients & Benefits
The Chaga Jelly Low pH Chaga Cleanser is a mild, low pH cleanser with a pH level of 5.0. The low pH makes it a very gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin dry of its natural oils.
The Chaga Jelly Low pH Cleanser contains 107’s proprietary formula of naturally fermented vinegar.
The three major ingredients in this cleanser that offer skin benefits are Chaga Mushroom Extract, a mix of 10 Botanical Extracts, and 7-Year Naturally Fermented Vinegar. Here’s how they add to this cleanser:
10 Botanical Extracts
Your skin can experience the soothing and nourishing benefits of these 10 botanical extracts:
Chamomile Extract, Paper Mulberry Root Extract, Lotus Extract, White Mulberry Bark Extract, Apple Extract, Camellia Leaf Extract, Green Tea Extract, Gotu Kola Extract, Lingonberry Leaf Extract, and Pine Mushroom Leaf Extract.
Chaga Mushroom
Improves skin tone and contains high amounts of Beta-Glucan which helps improve moisture levels and skin elasticity.
7-Year Naturally Fermented Vinegar
107’s proprietary formula of naturally fermented vinegar! This fermented and purified vinegar is aged for 7 years that allows for potent skin-loving postbiotics and vitamins for natural anti-aging benefits. The fermentation process also creates Amino Acids, Acetic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Malic Acid that help gently exfoliate the skin for improved skin tone and texture.
Texture, Scent, & and Application
The Chaga Jelly Low pH Chaga Cleanser has a bouncy jelly-like texture that turns to a bubbly foam texture. It’s different from a foam cleanser however, as the bubbles are very gentle and foam is more on the watery side and not very dense. If you want a super gentle cleanser like a milk cleanser or bubble-free cleanser—BUT dislike cleansers that do not bubble up—then this cleanser is perfect for you!
Inside the jelly-like cleanser, you’ll see little bits of green. This is actually fine green tea powder which provides gentle physical exfoliation. You can hardly feel them while cleansing.
There is no added fragrance in this cleanser but it has a natural citrusy scent.
Performance
The 107 Chaga Jelly Low pH Chaga Cleanser does an excellent job at cleansing as a second cleanser. My skin feels refreshed afterward but without any tightness. The slight exfoliation factor helps brighten up my skin tone as well.
This has replaced all of my morning cleansers! I especially like using the 107 Chaga Jelly Low pH Chaga Cleanser in the mornings because it makes my skin (and me) feel refreshed and brighter to take on a new day.
It bubbles up into a gentle watery foam as shown above!
Why Is It The Best Korean Low pH Cleanser?
The low pH is actually NOT what makes this the best Korean low pH cleanser. What!?
While low pH cleansers are great for gentle cleansing, sometimes they can’t reach that level of extra deep cleansing. Especially in these days of maskne where your skin is stuffy and clogged, we want a second cleanser that’ll squeaky clean deep down into your pores!
You could reach for that cleansing foam with a higher pH that might dry out your skin…
Or, you could get that deep cleansing without sacrificing the gentleness (pH) thanks to Fermented Vinegar!
The natural Acetic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Malic Acid from the fermented vinegar in this cleanser very mildly exfoliates and clarifies pores—leaving you with cleaner, refreshed skin while maintaining your skin’s natural oils.
So, you get the best of both worlds—low pH and a deeper cleanse. And that’s why it’s the best Korean low pH cleanser!
107 Chaga Jelly Low pH Cleanser Review: Final Thoughts
This second cleanser manages to strike the perfect balance between being mild (again, pH 5.0!) and yet effectively cleanses pores. The 107 Chaga Jelly Low pH Cleanser is a simple yet elegantly formulated cleanser that gives you clearer and glowing skin. I can’t start my mornings without it!
