  Pros

  1. Bought a 3-pack for around 4,000 won at the local Emart. 2. Simple packaging. Once you open the paper box, the soap pops out without any plastic wrapping. 3. The fragrance is incredibly strong. It masks body odor to some extent when you wash with it. The scent lingers in your hair after shampooing. It even acts as a bathroom air freshener.

  Cons

  1. The scent is very strong and might be polarizing. It's a mix of a cloying coconut sweetness and a tangy note. Honestly, it reminds me of rest stop bathroom air fresheners. It's a bit... cheap-smelling? 2. The scent itself is tolerable, but when it hits water, that sweet smell transforms into coconut's signature fishy odor... If you're someone who detects a fishy smell in cucumbers and watermelons, you'll know exactly what I mean. It's even fishier than artificial cucumber soap... Ah... The smell stings my nose every time I lather up and rinse my face. However, once you get used to it, it becomes fragrant and pleasant. If you can endure the first few days when the scent is overpowering, it gets better. 3. The ingredients list includes PEG surfactants, but for a soap with those, it doesn't lather well when rubbed with hands. It produces a thin, sparse lather like dough. Even with a foam net, the lather wasn't as rich as expected. 4. There's some deep dryness after washing, and occasionally surface dryness too. It lacks moisturizing properties and just vaguely removes surface oils from the face. 5. It contains titanium dioxide, which I'm not thrilled about. I'd prefer to encounter titanium dioxide only in sunscreens... lol.

  Tip

  Each bar is 100 grams, which is surprisingly large and doesn't fit comfortably in one hand. It might be better to split it in half for easier lathering. Make sure to focus on moisturizing after washing. Use this soap when you're worried about body odor!
