  Pros

  Gentle and effective! I used it as a body wash and shampoo, and it worked great for both. I especially recommend the peppermint version for body and hair - it's excellent for eliminating scalp odor and body odor. The scent comes from natural oils, not artificial fragrances, so it's pleasant and not overwhelming.

  Cons

  As someone with sensitive skin, I found the peppermint a bit irritating when used as a facial cleanser. I'd suggest using the peppermint version for shampoo and body wash only. It's quite runny, so you end up using a lot. You need to use a generous amount to get good cleansing effectiveness.

  Tip

  Don't judge natural products after just one use. I was skeptical at first, but after using natural products for three months, I saw amazing results. Give it time, and you might be surprised by the benefits!

  Pros

  Since turning 30, my skin has become sensitive and prone to blemishes, so I'm careful about ingredients when buying cosmetics. This product has great ingredients and feels moisturizing without causing irritation, which I absolutely love! I use it as both a body cleanser and face wash. While the scent isn't my favorite, my skin feels hydrated and soft after use. When lathering with hands during face washing, it doesn't foam up much, so I usually cleanse twice. (I don't use cleansing oil)

  Cons

  The scent is a bit hard to get used to. The tea tree fragrance is somewhat strong. Although it's marketed as an all-in-one product that can be used on hair too, it's too thick to use comfortably as a shampoo.

  Pros

  I bought both the peppermint and regular versions from a home shopping channel and gave them a try! The natural ingredients make it feel gentle on the skin. However, those with sensitive skin might find the peppermint version a bit intense at first due to its cooling sensation. The regular version is milder. Initially, I wasn't sure about its cleansing effectiveness, so I double-cleansed with another product. But as I kept using it, I realized this product alone has excellent cleansing power. For removing makeup, I massage it without lather first, then add water to create foam for a thorough cleanse. It leaves my skin clean and fresh, just like after double cleansing. The quality ingredients really agree with my skin. You might notice your complexion becoming clearer after washing. I'll definitely repurchase!

  Cons

  Due to its strong cleansing power, it can leave your skin feeling a bit squeaky clean. If you prefer neutral cleansers that leave your skin feeling slippery or very moisturized after washing, this might not be for you. As someone with very dry skin who usually prefers neutral cleansers, I wasn't a fan at first. But I've continued using it because of its gentle ingredients and excellent cleansing effectiveness.

  Tip

  For makeup removal, try massaging it without water first, then gradually add water to create a lather for a double-cleanse effect. The peppermint version is highly recommended for summer use!

  Pros

  Despite its large size, it's affordable and I love the scent! It removes makeup more gently than most cleansers without irritation.

  Cons

  It's a bit too thick to use as a shampoo... While it's less irritating to the skin, I'm not sure about its effectiveness.

  Tip

  It works like a charm when used with a silicone brush from Daiso!

  Pros

  First off, I love that the ingredients are safe and the company has a great mindset with fair trade practices. The scent isn't overpowering, and it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry after use. It's super convenient that I can use it for my hair, face, and body.

  Cons

  It feels a bit stiff when trying to use it as a shampoo. It doesn't lather up as much as conventional products, but that's typical for natural products, so I've come to accept it.

  Tip

  I'd say using a conditioner after shampooing is definitely a must-do tip. Other than that, I don't have any major issues with it, so I don't really have any other tips to share.
