Pros
I like that it highlights the full list of ingredients. It's a non-irritating soap without alcohol, PEG, or silicone. I'd recommend it to those with sensitive skin. The soap has a slightly sweet fragrance that's pleasant during cleansing. It feels more moisturizing than regular soap. My rough hands felt less tight even without hand cream. It also removed makeup quickly and thoroughly. My mother tried it and said she liked it too. I'd recommend this low-irritation soap to those looking for it.
Cons
However, those sensitive to natural ingredients like seed oils, seed butters, or centella should be cautious. Rinse thoroughly to avoid residue. And the fragrance is similar to a mild laundry soap.

Pros
The fragrance wasn't that great - it was similar to bar soap. However, the feeling of softness on my face after using it was nice.
Cons
It melted quickly, so I used it up fast, which was disappointing. The fragrance was a bit disappointing, but it wasn't that bad either.

Pros
This is Aleppo soap. Therefore, it does have a price range, but compared to the well-known and highly-rated Zaitoun Aleppo soap, it is less irritating and more moisturizing. It was remarkably gentle, moisturizing, and non-irritating, ranking among the top three soaps I have ever used. Personally, I really enjoyed the olive oil fragrance, which is a characteristic of Aleppo soap (although people tend to have strong preferences regarding fragrances, this is not an artificial fragrance. As for an example, it is similar to the fragrance of the DHC Cleansing Oil).
Cons
Given your detailed analysis of this product, I have to agree that the pricing of this Aleppo soap seems highly questionable. Even with the high-quality ingredients and manufacturing process, the small size of the soap bar, its rapid consumption rate, and the availability of similar Aleppo soaps from other brands at more reasonable prices, the 15,000 won price tag appears to be significantly inflated. Your thorough assessment of the soap's performance, characteristics, and comparison to other options has highlighted that the value proposition of this particular Aleppo soap does not seem to justify the premium pricing. It raises valid doubts about the rationale behind such a high cost, especially when more affordable yet comparable Aleppo soap alternatives are available on the market. Your well-informed perspective has provided a balanced and insightful critique of this product, leading to the conclusion that the pricing does not seem to align with the overall quality and attributes of the Aleppo soap in question. This assessment is valuable in helping consumers make more informed decisions about the true value of this type of specialty soap.

Pros
(Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review) In the summer, I have oily skin, and from the seasonal change to fall and winter, I have combination skin with blemishes. 1. When I first received the soap, the scent was nice~ It was quite strong, almost like an air freshener(?) Over time (about a month?), the strong scent faded, and a mild grain scent remained. 2. The size was small, but it had a substantial feel, and it came with a soap net, which is nice. It lathers up very well. 3. I used it in the morning and evening, and also tried it as a body wash during showers -> The usage experience was good, and no blemishes popped up The soap is gentle, and after cleansing, my skin feels incredibly soft! As a body wash, it leaves a slightly drying feeling. 3. I used it to remove simple makeup like cushion, mascara (Etude), and eyeliner (Secret Kiss) It took two uses to get a soft, clean feeling, and it removed the eye makeup (mascara, eyeliner), but you still need a makeup remover to fully take it off.
Cons
1. Being a soap, the hygiene management is a bit lacking. 2. Considering the price, the size is a bit small. 3. The scent is milder than a typical grain soap, and it leaves a soft feeling after cleansing, but I'm not sure if it's worth repurchasing...

Pros
This is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. I usually use cleansing water + soap for cleansing. Previously, I used Dr. Bronner's bar and L'Occitane shea butter bar. The cleansing power was good. Since I don't wear heavy makeup, it worked well. The fragrance and lather were also nice.
Cons
It feels a bit dry after use, which is a bit disappointing. And the soap tends to get soft quickly... The size is also small compared to the price.
Tip
Make good use of the lather! Also, make sure to dry the soap well!!

Pros
The foaming was really nice and soft, enveloping my skin well. The bubble-making pouch(?) helped create even more abundant bubbles, and the scent was just wonderful^^ A healthy fragrance.. haha. It thoroughly removed my makeup, but still left my skin feeling clean and not dry at all - a gentle feeling with powerful cleansing power... However, the Kiss Me mascara was a bit lacking, haha. I usually double cleanse, but I purposely just used the soap to wash my face this time, haha. I've been using it consistently and it's been great^^
Cons
Hmm, there wasn't really anything disappointing, but since I tend to use makeup products that are hard to remove, I'm not sure, but the black mascara was left on my under-eye area. So I took off one star, but I'm actually quite satisfied^^ It cleans out my pores so thoroughly~
Tip
I don't have any special tips, but if you're using a waterproof mascara, I'd recommend using an eye makeup remover first before cleansing, and that should work great^^

Pros
The soap seemed to be gentle, which I liked. I used it more like a body wash than a cleansing product, and it was nice - it was moisturizing and produced good lather. The formula wasn't too soft, so it was also quite durable in water. The scent had a bit of a sauna event bath feel, which I personally enjoyed.
Cons
The cleansing power wasn't as strong as I would have liked. It wouldn't be sufficient for makeup removal. Maybe that's because the lather wasn't as dense? And the scent, while I liked it, might be polarizing - it's not a typical fresh soap scent.
Tip
I think this would work well as a year-round body wash. It provides a decent amount of moisturization.

Pros
I was looking forward to using the natural soap again after a long time. It came with a lather net, which made it easy to create a rich lather. Just a little rubbing creates a plentiful amount of foam. The lather net has a string, so it's convenient to hang it up. Natural soaps can easily become soft, so I recommend putting it in the lather net and hanging it. The scent is personally like a faint roasted tea aroma - subtle and inoffensive. The scent was better than I expected! I tried washing my hands first, and since my hands are on the drier side, the cleansing power felt good. It cleanses well, maybe a bit drying (probably because it's winter). Even for the face, while not as strong as a foam cleanser, the natural soap cleaned it reasonably well. After cleansing, the moisturized feeling was good. And the best part is that there were no particular troubles or irritation, likely due to the good ingredients. Using this alone is good, but personally, I think it would be great to use as a second cleanse to finish off my routine.
Cons
The price seems a bit burdensome. 15,000 won... If it goes on sale, I would consider purchasing, but the original price is high. And using the lather net, I'm a bit worried the soap might wear down faster.

Pros
I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and used the product for 2 weeks. 1. Sensitive Skin As I have sensitive skin, it's been a challenge to find the right cleansing foam. I've been using a lot of snail, centella, and madecassoside soaps from Sidmool. After being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and trying the product for 2 weeks, I found that the soap is gentle and my 'body' feels clean and refreshed without any trouble. 2. Polarizing Fragrance! Personally, I really enjoyed the fresh, herbal scent. The herbal fragrance was very appealing to me!
Cons
1. Miniature Soap Dish The soap dish is too small, and not much lather is produced, which was disappointing. The soap dish seems to be intended for hanging and drying the soap. 2. Sensitive Skin 2 The soap worked well on my body, but not on my face. Looking at my face, the lower part has broken out in pimples and acne. Of course, this is still ongoing... I switched back to the handmade soap I was using before after just 2 days of using this one.
Tip
I recommend purchasing a separate soap dish.

Pros
I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and got to try it out. I used the Benton Soap exclusively for cleansing, morning and night, for a week, and the lather was rich and it felt clean and refreshing to wash my face without makeup... If you like that squeaky clean feeling after cleansing, I highly recommend this! As for the scent, it might be divisive - it's kind of like laundry soap. I'm not very sensitive to scents, so I didn't mind it and actually found it to have a healthy, clean fragrance. If you don't dislike laundry soap scents, you'll likely be fine with this soap's aroma as well... But if you prefer sweet, fragrant scents, this one may not be for you!
Cons
I didn't really get the feeling that it was clearing out impurities or sebum from my pores as advertised. Maybe it's because I only used it for 2 weeks, but that was my experience during that time. I have sensitive, easily-congested skin that can get problematic if I use the wrong products, so I was cautiously hopeful but also a bit worried when I started using it. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to help calm down the blemishes I already had. They just kept coming... I also felt a bit of tightness after cleansing. (Could be seasonal factors as well) And since I don't usually wear heavy makeup, just BB cream, I didn't feel as refreshed after using this compared to my usual cleansing oil and second cleanser routine, which leaves me feeling more thoroughly cleansed.
Tip
I'll write more about whether it had any effects on my blemishes after using it for longer.
