PUR Sea Fresh Purifying Gel Foam Cleanser 150ml

Refreshing gel-to-foam cleanser with seawater, brown algae, and green microalgae

Oily and combination skin has a paradoxical need: to be cleansed thoroughly enough to remove excess sebum, pollution, and makeup residue, but not so aggressively that the skin reacts by producing even more sebum. Many classic foam cleansers fall into this trap: they strip too radically, break down the skin barrier, and trigger a rebound effect where the skin shines again within hours, as if it hasn’t been washed.

The PUR Sea Fresh Purifying Gel Foam Cleanser is formulated to break this cycle. The light gel transforms upon contact with water into a creamy, conditioning foam that deeply cleanses without drying out. Marine active ingredients — seawater, brown algae, and green microalgae — balance sebum production, support the skin barrier, and nourish the skin with antioxidants and minerals. A subtle mint oil provides a lightly cooling, energizing sensation during cleansing.

Benefits

• Gel-to-foam texture deeply cleanses without weakening the skin barrier
• Marine active ingredients balance sebum production and shine
• Removes dirt, sebum, and light makeup in one step
• Glycerine and propanediol maintain hydration during cleansing
• Cooling mint oil provides a refreshing, energizing sensation

Active Ingredients

Maris Aqua (seawater): Seawater is naturally rich in minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, and zinc, which balance and revitalize the skin. In a cleanser, seawater works especially effectively to remove excess sebum and pollution without damaging the skin barrier — it remineralizes instead of stripping.

Laminaria Digitata (brown algae / sea kelp): A marine ingredient rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and iodine. Brown algae hydrate and condition the skin during cleansing, support the natural skin barrier, and help retain moisture. An important addition especially for skin that dries out quickly after classic foam cleansers.

Chlorella Vulgaris (green microalgae): A single-celled freshwater algae rich in proteins and antioxidants. Chlorella soothes the skin, improves visible texture and evenness of skin tone, and contributes to a more vibrant appearance after use. This ingredient makes an immediate difference especially for uneven or dull skin.

Glycerine & Propanediol: Two humectants that attract and retain moisture in the upper skin layers. This keeps the skin supple and hydrated during and after cleansing — no tight, dry feeling like with traditional foam cleansers, but a comfortable, prepared skin for the rest of your routine.

Mentha Piperita (mint oil): A natural essential oil that provides a cooling, energizing sensation on the skin. Besides the sensory experience, mint also works mildly antibacterial and sebum-regulating, supporting the cleansing effect without drying out. Ideal for a morning cleanse that wakes up the skin.

Sulfate-free surfactants: The cleansing action comes from mild surfactants like Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine, instead of classic sulfates (SLS, SLES). These surfactants cleanse thoroughly without disturbing the skin’s natural lipid film or pH balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Sea Fresh and Forever Clean?

Both cleansers are sulfate-free and developed for daily use, but they target different skin needs. Sea Fresh is a gel-to-foam cleanser with marine active ingredients, optimized for normal to oily skin that needs deep cleansing, sebum production balance, and an energizing sensation. Forever Clean is a creamier, soothing cleanser with green tea, aloe, and blue light protection, better suited for dry, sensitive, or mature skin.

Does this cleanser also remove makeup?

Sea Fresh removes light to medium makeup. For heavy makeup or waterproof products (mascara, eyeliner, long-lasting foundation), a double cleansing is recommended: first a micellar water or cleansing oil to dissolve the makeup, then Sea Fresh as the second cleansing step to thoroughly purify the skin.

Does the mint oil cause irritation on sensitive skin?

The mint concentration in Sea Fresh is low and provides subtle cooling, not a stinging sensation. The formula is dermatologically approved and suitable for most sensitive skin types. However, if you have a specific sensitivity to essential oils or rosacea, test first on a small skin area before starting daily use.

Does this cleanser help with enlarged pores?

Sea Fresh helps keep pores clean by removing excess sebum, dead skin cells, and environmental pollution. In the long term, this supports a more even, smoother skin texture. For a more targeted approach to enlarged pores, many skin therapists recommend an additional serum with niacinamide or a mild BHA (salicylic acid) after the cleansing step.
