Pros
I've been using this product for almost 8 years now. It's not irritating, so I've been using it consistently without any worries.
Cons
The lather doesn't form very well, so I sometimes feel like the cleansing is not thorough enough and have to wash my face twice.

Pros
Even though it contains BHA, it didn't feel irritating at all, so I was able to use it daily without any issues. When my skin was sensitive, there was a slight stinging sensation, so it's better for people with sensitive skin to use it with breaks in between. Among the mild cleansing products I've tried, this cleansing gel left the least drying feeling after washing. The scent is close to unscented.
Cons
Among the cleansing gels I've tried, this one produced the least amount of lather, so I ended up using more product than I normally would.

Pros
The formulation is refreshing and non-irritating. As it is part of the acne management line, the product is truly non-irritating to the skin, which is why I have been using it for several years.
Cons
On days when you have a full face of makeup, there may be some dissatisfaction with the cleansing process. I recommend using a cleansing oil or cream to thoroughly remove the makeup, and then using the foam cleanser. You may feel that the product does not lather well, but I personally prefer to avoid overly artificial foaming or squeaky-clean sensations, as I believe they can be harmful to the skin. Pola Choice as a brand focuses on limiting the use of harmful chemical ingredients, so I believe the product is safe.
Tip
For those who wear makeup daily, using the product in the morning or on days off can also be a good option.

Pros
My acne has improved and I changed my cleanser, but it's gentle and mild. My acne has also calmed down a lot, likely due to the soothing ingredients.
Cons
I've only been using it for two days, so I'll leave another review after I've finished the product.

Pros
While I didn't experience it dramatically, the presence of a small amount of salicylic acid seemed to help with acne management, as the cleansing power was excellent. At the same time, it finished gently and without dryness, so I've been using it as my go-to cleanser for years.
Cons
Among Paulas Choice products, this is still on the more affordable side, but the price is still a bit high for a cleanser.

Pros
I've been using this foam cleanser for 5 years. I've tried other products in between, but I always come back to this one because my skin breaks out right away when I use something else. It's gentle, so it's also good for morning cleansing.
Cons
I recommend this for dry skin. So it may not work well for oily skin types.
Tip
On days when I wear makeup, I cleanse with the foam cleanser about 3 times to make sure I remove it all.

Pros
This cleanser effectively tackles acne and blackheads. It contains 0.5% salicylic acid, which is not overly irritating but still quite effective in soothing and eliminating blackheads and inflammatory acne. I've been consistently keeping this cleanser in my shower and using it regularly. If you, like me, use it consistently for years, your skin will become clearer, and you'll also notice pore-tightening effects. If you struggle with oily skin or acne, I strongly recommend giving this a try.
Cons
There aren't really any downsides to this product. However, on days when your skin is unusually sensitive or dry, this cleanser may feel a bit irritating. It's a good idea to have a gentler, more moisturizing cleanser as a backup for those occasions.
Tip
When dealing with severe acne or a serious skin concern, use this cleanser by working up a generous lather and gently massaging it into your skin for about a minute before rinsing it off thoroughly. Repeating this process can help clear up acne and inflammation on your face remarkably quickly.

Pros
This cleanser has been helpful in improving my acne-prone skin. As you all know, salicylic acid is one of the best ingredients for treating acne, and this product's identity as a mild salicylic acid cleanser is its key feature. The exfoliating effect of salicylic acid helps prevent clogged pores, while the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties aid in acne improvement. For an oily skin type, this mildly acidic cleanser provides adequate cleansing without being too drying. True to its low pH formulation, it is hydrating and less irritating. I've found that it doesn't sting even when my skin is sensitive. The Pyunkang Yul Skin Balancing line seems to be the most popular, with the Skin Balancing tending to focus more on controlling excess oil, while the Clear version is more geared towards pore cleansing. Choose the one that best suits your skin concerns! As an acne-prone skin cleanser, I personally find the Clear version a bit more appealing than the Skin Balancing.
Cons
The opaque packaging makes it difficult to see how much product is left.
Tip
I also use this product to gently exfoliate my lips occasionally! Massaging this cleanser onto my lips and then immediately following up with petroleum jelly has left my lips visibly smoother and less flaky the next day.

Pros
The product seems to cleanse well, as it produces a lot of lather. I usually enjoy using cleansers that create a lot of foam, but this one doesn't. However, it still manages to remove makeup very effectively. Normally, I would use a water rinse after using a cleansing product, but I don't need to do that with this one! It's also fragrance-free, so there's no risk of headaches. And I didn't experience any eye irritation or dryness, even when using it right after removing my mask, when my skin can sometimes feel oily.
Cons
The only downside is that it contains quite a few ingredients, which I'm not too thrilled about.

Pros
Since it is colorless, odorless, and fragrance-free, it certainly feels gentle. As I don't do much color makeup, I'm not sure, but sunscreen seems to wipe off smoothly enough.
Cons
Since my skin tends to be quite dry, there is a tightening sensation after using it. Sometimes, after cleansing, my skin feels a little irritated.
