Real Barrier Porebium - cleansing foam vs powder wash?

I was lucky enough to win the Real Barrier Porebium giveaway (lord knows my pores need it), but I’ve gotta confess my ignorance here—among the products there’s both a cleansing foam and a powder wash, and I’m not sure of their respective uses. The descriptions on their bottles and the English instructions are very similar (apologies for the low-quality pics) - they both seem like cleansers geared toward oily pore-prominent skin, but would one use one in the morning and one at night? One after the other? I’m generally unfamiliar with the concept of a powder wash (aside from Tatcha’s polishes), so if anyone has any insights I’d be grateful to hear them!

Enzyme powder washes are very gentle exfoliants. YOU HAVE TO add a little of water to dissolve and make the powder foam. It's not a polish or a scrub, pls pls pls don't forget to dissolve the powder🙏🏼

It sounds like you have received the Real Barrier Porebium Blemish Control Cleansing Foam and Real Barrier Porebium Blemish Control Powder Wash. Both of these products are designed to be used as part of a skincare routine to help control oily, pore-prominent skin. In general, it is recommended to use a cleansing foam or other facial cleanser in the morning and at night as part of your skincare routine. This helps to remove dirt, oil, and makeup that can build up on your skin throughout the day or night. The Real Barrier Porebium Blemish Control Powder Wash is a unique type of cleanser that comes in a powder form. To use it, you would add a small amount of the powder to a small amount of water in the palm of your hand, mix it together to create a lather, and then apply the lather to your face. The powder wash is then rinsed off with water. You can use the Real Barrier Porebium Blemish Control Powder Wash in the morning and at night in place of your regular facial cleanser, or you can use it in addition to your regular cleanser as a second step in your cleansing routine. For example, you might use the cleansing foam to remove makeup and dirt, and then follow up with the powder wash to help control oily skin. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I kind of think of the powder wash as a bit of physical exfoliation, but I have this product too and haven't tried it yet because I'm currently using Tretinoin.

As far as I know, a powder wash can be used as a gentle exfoliator. So, you can use Porebium Cleansing Foam as your regular cleanser for AM & 2nd cleanser for PM. Then, you can use Porebium Powder Wash 2-3times in a week.
