Pros
I have very sensitive skin, but this cleanser cleansed my face thoroughly and refreshingly, and my skin didn't feel too tight after washing. I really liked it. When I use mildly acidic cleansers, I often find that they lack cleansing power and cause breakouts, and some cleansers make my skin feel uncomfortably tight, but this bar soap was just right.
Cons
If you don't take good care of it, it seems like it could go bad quickly. You need to manage it well to maintain the moisturized state after use.

Pros
I generally like Benton products and have used most of them, but I've avoided their cleansing products because they aren't mildly acidic. I figured I'd just throw them away if they didn't work for my skin. But I happened to buy this on sale out of curiosity, and I'm so pleased with it. It's been a while since I've used a solid soap, and I had low expectations, but the experience has been wonderful. It's not mildly acidic, but the high oil content means it doesn't dry out my skin. It cleanses thoroughly yet leaves my skin feeling refreshed and moisturized. There's no residue or flaky skin after use. I really like the clean and nourished feeling, similar to the Beplain Nokdu Cleansing Foam. I'm alternating this with mildly acidic cleansers. The included mesh pouch works great too. The double-layer design helps create a nice, rich lather.
Cons
Since my skin isn't prone to breakouts, I didn't experience any issues or worsening of my skin. But individual results may vary.
Tip
Like many, I find that cutting off a piece of the soap and putting it in the included mesh pouch helps create a good lather and makes the soap last longer. I bought it for around $4-5, and I'd love to stock up when it's on sale.

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 ingredients are safe, so I feel reassured. The lather is rich and soft, which I like. After cleansing, the lack of dryness is also good. It's great to use safe products through Hwahae.
Cons
The scent is quite similar to the detergent soap scent that is commonly used. However, it is much better than the artificial chemical scent. As it is a natural soap, it dissolves well, so I only use it at home and don't bring it to the swimming pool.

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
1. Recommended Skin Type: Normal, Combination, Oily 2. Usage Experience: The overall usage experience was good. The lather is not super dense, but when used with the included mesh, it creates a nice, gentle lather. After use, my skin doesn't feel overly tight, even without applying anything afterwards. Of course, moisturizing is still necessary, but for oily or combination skin types, you won't feel that tight sensation right after cleansing. 3. Product: The packaging is nice, and it's great that the mesh is included. Storing the soap in the mesh keeps it from getting too soft. The lather turned out better than expected. 4. Cleansing Power: The cleansing power is suitable for secondary cleansing or morning cleansing. You'd only be able to remove light makeup with this cleansing bar alone.
Cons
1. The ingredients were a bit disappointing. However, this doesn't directly affect the skin, so it's tolerable. 2. While the lather does form well when using the mesh, the lather itself is not as dense and doesn't have great longevity.
Tip
1. As soon as you receive it, put the soap in the included mesh. This will prevent the soap from getting too soft and helps create a good lather. 2. After using the soap, let the existing lather dry on your skin instead of rinsing it off. This will help the soap last longer and stay less soft.

Pros
✔ Skin Type: T-zone is oily and shiny, while U-zone is dry and very dehydrated, making it a sensitive combination skin. ✔Lather: The first lather is fluffy and abundant, and there is a separate lather net, but the lather forms well even without the net! However, if you want an even richer lather, the lather net is excellent. ✔Cleansing Power: The gentle lather has excellent cleansing power! Waterproof products require double cleansing! It contains a lot of oil, so it cleanses gently. ✔Moisturizing: There are many oil ingredients, so it is moisturizing right after washing, but it dries out afterwards. ✔Fragrance: It has a herbal-like scent. There may be some who like or dislike it, but it is not too strong or lingering after cleansing.
Cons
✔ As it is a soap, it seems to melt easily in damp places. Storing it in a dry place should help. ✔ If you don't create enough lather, it can be irritating.
Tip
Using just one product for both the body and face is economical!!

Pros
I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and received a soap, which I used for about 2 weeks. My skin type is oily on the T-zone and normal elsewhere. I enjoy a thorough cleansing routine, using cleansing oil as the first step, followed by cleansing foam, and finally a natural soap for a refreshing and squeaky-clean feeling. Although it's said that overly thorough cleansing can remove essential oils from the face, I tend to have more oiliness than dryness, so after the deep cleansing, I follow up with hydration and moisturizer. Since I've never used a cleansing soap before, I tried the Benton soap as the second step after the cleansing oil on the first day. The soap came with a mesh pouch, which helped create a nice, dense lather, though not as creamy as cleansing foam. The lather was more dense compared to regular soap. The initial satisfaction after using it for the first time was beyond my expectations. Even though I have slightly sensitive skin, I didn't experience any breakouts. I use a peeling pad 2-3 times a week, and after using the Benton soap, there was no trace of makeup residue left. Furthermore, my skin felt more moisturized after cleansing compared to my usual routine. The desired squeaky-clean feeling was also achieved. After cleansing with the Benton soap, I no longer needed to immediately apply a mist, as my skin remained hydrated. The scent was not exactly my personal preference, but it was better than the typical fragrance of natural soaps, as it didn't contain any added fragrances. My sister, on the other hand, really enjoyed the nutty, roasted grain-like aroma. The size of the soap is generous, and I expect it to last for a while. After using it for about 2 weeks, I noticed a reduction in tightness and dryness. With the recent increase in fine dust, I'm glad to have found this great cleansing soap. I think I'll stick to this cleansing routine with the Benton soap going forward. The combination of a natural soap and cleansing properties is just perfect. I'll continue using it consistently for about a month and see if it works well without causing any issues, and then I'll make it my go-to cleanser.
Cons
For heavily pigmented tints and long-lasting mascaras, a lip and eye makeup remover should be used first before cleansing with the soap. If you are sensitive to scents, you may want to consider using a soap with added fragrances, as natural soaps tend to have an inherent oily or grain-like aroma that cannot be avoided. The roasted grain or oatmeal-like scent is common with natural soaps. Those who dislike a thorough, squeaky-clean feeling after washing may not find this soap particularly suitable, as it provides a very deep cleansing. While I was satisfied with the results, those with very dry skin may find it a bit drying, as it effectively removes excess oil. My sister, who has normal to slightly dry skin, loved it, but some reviews have mentioned dryness for those with drier skin types. Natural soaps tend to dissolve more easily, and since the soap is always exposed, there may be some hygiene concerns to consider as well. These are the main potential downsides I can think of with this natural cleansing soap.
Tip
The inclusion of the mesh soap pouch was a great addition! Using the hook to hang the soap on the bathroom mirror keeps it elevated and prevents it from dissolving too quickly, making the usage more hygienic. That's a really helpful tip!

Pros
It's gentle and free of artificial fragrances and colorants, so even sensitive skin prone to breakouts can use it comfortably. I was hesitant to switch from a cleansing foam to a bar soap, as changing my skincare products usually leads to breakouts for me. But I tried this with faith in the gentle ingredients, and I'm completely satisfied. Just a little water lathers it up nicely, and it cleanses my face thoroughly without drying it out. It's amazing that such a gentle formula can still produce a rich lather. I want to keep using this product.
Cons
None. It's gentle enough to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and I'm satisfied using it as a sensitive-skinned person.
Tip
If I leave it on the soap dish, it seems like it would dissolve every time it comes into contact with water, and dust in the air might also settle on it. So I store it in the mesh bag that came with it. The lather is so good that I don't really need the mesh bag, so I just hang the mesh bag on the towel rack and keep the soap in it, which allows the soap to dry out quickly and stay clean.

Pros
My skin tends to get red and rough when I use regular soap or a bit stronger cleansing foam. But after using this product, my face feels so soft and smooth. My skin was very dry and I had a lot of dead skin, and regular cleansing wasn't enough to manage it. But this product effectively removed the dead skin and left my skin feeling soft and clean. I also tried using it during bathing, and unlike regular soap, it didn't leave my skin feeling dry. I'm very satisfied with it and will definitely repurchase it. The included soap net also works great at creating a rich lather.
Cons
I don't usually do a lot of makeup, so this product works well for me. But if you wear a lot of makeup, this single cleanser might not be enough to thoroughly remove it. It does a good job of gently exfoliating, but the makeup may not come off completely. You'd probably need a second cleansing step to fully remove it. That said, I do really like this product because it's not too harsh. But you're right that it's not a super strong cleanser. Also, I'd recommend using the included soap net, as without it the lather isn't as rich and creamy as with it. The net really helps create a nice, effective foam.
Tip
I recommend using the included soap net to create a rich, creamy lather when using this product. And if you wear a lot of makeup, be sure to do a double cleanse - this cleanser alone may not be enough to fully remove all the makeup.
