This review was originally part of my blog article titled, Super Lightweight Summer Moisturizers Part II”. You can still catch the full piece here.

A rich, frothy foaming moisturizer? It sounds a bit nuts. But with the popularity of cleansing foams in the K-beauty “double cleanse,” this isn’t all that much of a stretch really. The idea of a moisturizing mousse seems gimmicky at first, but any time a serious skincare product is protected from oxidation due to exposure to air, it’s a win. Period.

The Laneige Fresh Calming Mousse Moisturizer is a fluffy, airy mousse sealed in a can with the delivery of a shave foam. Like all of Laneige’s products, it’s formulated with the brand’s characteristic Water Science — in this case, nutrient-rich deep sea water.

Lychee Peel Extract, rich in polyphenols, delivers vital antioxidant protection. Polyphenols are a group of antioxidants derived from fruits, vegetables, and plants that have potent protective benefits against free radical damage. The most common ones are found in grapes and cacao — and the reason why wine and chocolate have real health benefits.

In addition to polyphenol-rich Lychee Extract, the Fresh Calming Mousse Moisturizer contains deep sea water that’s rich in skin-compatible minerals. Minerals are great in skincare because they’re great in skin, helping to more evenly disperse water throughout skin’s layers to balance hydration levels.

This mousse thing is just plain cool!

A quick rub into the palms and it transforms into a watery, non-sticky serum that melts right into the skin for a refreshing burst of hydration. It’s such a delight — and the fact that it’s a well-formulated product rich in antioxidants that remain effective longer means it’s going to continue to deliver what skin needs down to the very last drop!
