Pros
The scent was great and the lather was excellent. It rinsed off cleanly, which I really liked. The variety of sizes was nice, and it was easy to purchase online at Olive Young, so the accessibility was good too :) I mainly used it on my body.
Cons
It's just way too drying. After washing, I have to slather on a basic moisturizer or body lotion within 30 seconds, at least. ㅠㅠㅋ
Tip
For those with dry skin, try using it as a hand wash. The mini size is great for carrying in your bag and using when there's no hand wash available, which is really handy these days with the COVID-19 situation~

Pros
I've been using this product consistently. It's an all-in-one, so it can be used for the body, hair, and face, but it's a bit stiff for hair use, so I only use it for the body and face. I've tried various types, and the almond one seems to have better moisturizing properties compared to the others. After washing, there's no residue left, and it rinses off quickly, which has reduced my shower time.
Cons
Without a pump, adjusting the amount is difficult. Since I have sensitive skin, it's fine when I rinse it off with water right away, but there were times when it stung a bit after lathering it on my face and then washing my body.
Tip
It's best to buy the large size, and having a dedicated pump makes it more convenient.

Pros
I've tried using all the small sizes of Dr. Bronner's products. The best part is the squeaky clean cleansing power. Even though I have oily skin, after lathering up and showering, my whole body feels so refreshed and invigorated.
Cons
I was expecting a sweet, nutty almond scent, but boy was I wrong. This is 100% cinnamon scent through and through. Is everyone's nose off or something? I'm quite sensitive to smells, and I immediately recognized this as pure cinnamon upon sniffing it. I really disliked it - the strong cinnamon aroma was just too much for me. I wouldn't use this even if they paid me to.

Pros
💚The cleansing power is really good and it doesn't dry out! It lathers up nicely and after rinsing it all off, it doesn't feel dry at all...? This product is just like that! 💚Incredibly large capacity! You can use and use it and the end is never in sight... 💚True to Dr. Bronner's, the ingredients are really good good. How does it lather up so well without any surfactants? 💚It's great as a body wash, and especially when used in the foaming dispenser as a hand soap, it's just wonderful! Lathers up so nicely!
Cons
💚Is the scent only bad for me...? Everything else is great, but the scent is just so pungent every time I wash that it's really difficult. Everything is great, but the scent is just too strong, so I don't think I'll repurchase the almond one ㅠㅠ It has a scent like silicone + almond.
Tip
For body wash, use the pump dispenser, and for hand wash, use the foaming dispenser - it's more convenient!

Pros
1) I thought the chemical content would be low and the foam wouldn't form well, but it actually foams up quite nicely. 2) It has a pistachio ice cream scent, which seems to divide opinions. As someone who doesn't like floral fragrances, I actually preferred the almond note. 3) It cleans thoroughly with a squeaky-clean feel. Those who dislike slippery, moisturizing ingredients will likely enjoy this. 4) It has versatile uses - I plan to use it for laundry, brush cleaning, and bathroom cleaning when I get tired of using it.
Cons
1) I bought it thinking it would be as gentle and moisturizing as a baby product, but it leaves my skin feeling dry after use. I guess the squeaky-clean feeling is a downside. 2) It feels a bit stiff when using it as a shampoo, like washing my hair with a bar of soap. 3) The formula is quite runny, so it tends to pour out quickly. 4) I'm disappointed to learn the fragrance is artificial.
Tip
For dry skin types, it's best not to use this as a facial cleanser (it's drying). Use it cautiously as a shampoo (it has weak cleansing power and can feel stiff). Those who bought the large size should dispense it using a pump or foaming device.

Pros
It's gentle and smooth. The fragrance is subtle and lovely. I use it for shampoo, body wash, and facial cleansers, etc.
Cons
It stings the eyes a little, but not as much as other soaps. However, it's still a bit irritating.

Pros
After using other cleansing foams, this one becomes addictive. It's a magical water soap that feels light yet refreshing, making your skin feel cleaner. It has a satisfying bubbly texture. If you have dry skin, it won't leave your skin feeling tight and parched.
Cons
If you don't apply lotion, your skin will get really dry and cracked. What, it's almond-based so it's a bit moisturizing? Except for the baby type, all the other variants leave your skin feeling quite dry. If you have dry skin, you'd be better off using the baby type. The store claims the almond one is moisturizing, but it's actually quite drying - not much different from the other types.
Tip
Hmm, the type I recommend for cleansing power would be the green tea one, not this one. This water soap lathers up really well. If you use it with a puff, you'll be able to enjoy endless amounts of bubbles!

Pros
It has excellent cleaning power, so I like it. It cleans thoroughly and can be used all over the body, which is great.
Cons
Even though it's for dry skin, it still feels dry. And it stings my eyes... It seems like it doesn't have many harmful ingredients, but it's still not great.

Pros
I've been using it even before it was officially imported into Korea. First of all, the cleanser is gentle and produces a rich lather, yet the rinsing time is very short. I can hear the 'squeak' sound right away, which gives me a very refreshed feeling. I only use the almond version in the winter and choose different types for other seasons that suit my skin. I used to always experience trouble and itchiness when using the wrong products due to my sensitive skin, but I don't have that problem anymore since using this. I plan to continue using it going forward!
Cons
While aiming to be an all-in-one cleanser, I don't really recommend using it for anything other than face washing. I tried using it as a shampoo, but it made my hair too stiff. As for toothpaste... Ugh. I'll just stick to using it for showering and face washing.
Tip
When you buy this, a foaming net is often included. After pumping it with the foaming net, you can mix in some fine coffee grounds or brown sugar and use it as a gentle yet refreshing exfoliating scrub for your body!
