  Pros

  I love this cleansing foam because it thoroughly cleanses without damaging the skin barrier. Being slightly acidic, it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight after washing, which I absolutely adore. I highly recommend it for oily or blemish-prone skin! While the foam isn't super rich, it feels gentle enough not to irritate the skin, and after rinsing, my skin texture feels more refined. It's also nearly fragrance-free, so I'd recommend it to those with fragrance sensitivities too!

  Cons

  So far, I've been using it without any issues. However, when my skin is feeling super sensitive, it can cause a bit of irritation. It's best to avoid it during those times.

  Tip

  It doesn't remove full makeup very well. For makeup removal, I'd suggest using a different cleanser.

  It lathers up nicely, making it easy to use and rinses off gently

  Pros

  Writing this review after finishing the entire bottle I was using this when my skin barrier was compromised and sensitive, but it was gentler than I expected! No irritation, no blemishes, and it left my skin feeling clean after cleansing - all of which I loved I initially used it only for my second cleanse, but tried it in the morning too and it works well as a morning cleanser It lathers well and leaves no residue after rinsing

  Cons

  Some might find the scent a bit strong, but since you're washing it off anyway, it shouldn't be a big issue

  Tip

  When my skin is super sensitive, I use a foam maker to create lather It's less irritating than lathering with your hands!

  Pros

  Usage period: About 2 weeks Skin type: Combination skin (oily T-zone, dry U-zone) Experience: This gel-type cleanser has a thin consistency, and a small amount produces ample foam. It's gentle on the skin with minimal tightness after use, making it suitable for super sensitive skin. Cleansing effectiveness: Effectively removes sebum and makeup residue, demonstrating excellent cleansing power. It seems particularly suitable for oily or blemish-prone skin. Hydration: There's slight tightness after cleansing, but it doesn't cause excessive dryness. It's best to follow up with a toner or moisturizer immediately after cleansing. Skin reaction: During the two-week use, my skin remained smooth without any blemishes. I noticed cleaner pores and reduced sebum production.

  Cons

  May cause slight dryness for those with dry skin The subtle fragrance might be divisive for those with sensitive noses

  Tip

  First, work up a lather in your hands, then gently cleanse your face Using it alongside Zeroid Soothing Gel can help reduce irritation

  Pros

  The texture is like a transparent, flowing gel that's super hydrating. I have sensitive, oily skin, you know? I don't recall noticing any scent, which must mean it was fine since I didn't experience any discomfort while using it. Surprisingly, a small amount produces a lot of lather.

  Cons

  The cleansing effectiveness is subpar. You have to wash multiple times to remove everything. I suppose that means it's gentle? However, my skin keeps breaking out, and I think it's because of this product. I'm also using another foam cleanser from this brand (since this one's cleansing power is lacking), but I'm not sure if that's causing issues too. For now, I'm only using this one, but seeing that my blemishes haven't subsided, I suspect both might be problematic. Not recommended for those with super sensitive skin.

  Pros

  1. Fragrance: While personal preferences vary, I absolutely adore the scent in the Effaclar line. Honestly, I'll repurchase this product just for the fragrance alone! 2. Lather: For a low pH cleanser, it produces a surprisingly rich and dense foam! It's not as foamy as a bar soap, but it's quite impressive. 3. Ingredients: Perhaps because it's formulated for sensitive skin, the ingredient list is concise, which is reassuring. Some might be wary of the added fragrance, as the concern with fragrances often stems from the lack of transparency about their composition. However, considering this is made by La Roche-Posay, one of Europe's largest cosmetics companies, I believe it's been thoroughly tested and is safe to use.

  Cons

  Like most low pH cleansing foams, it feels a bit slippery on the skin.

  Tip

  Don't buy this at Olive Young. You can purchase it for under 20,000 won from French cosmetics direct purchase sites like Beauty Plus or Parisb2b.

  Pros

  A little goes a long way with this cleanser - it lathers up nicely! The texture feels refreshing on the skin. I love its transparent appearance and the subtle, invigorating scent that isn't overpowering.

  Cons

  I tried this when my skin suddenly flared up, but its cleansing effectiveness wasn't strong enough. If you're wearing sunscreen, you'll need to double cleanse, using this as your second step.

  Tip

  For an even better cleansing experience, try using this with a cleansing device (I use Foreo) instead of your hands. It creates a richer lather and cleanses more effectively!

  I've repurchased this several times because it doesn't irritate my skin. It lathers well and has surprisingly good cleansing effectiveness.

  Cons

  There's nothing really bad about it. The price, maybe? It would be nice if it were a bit cheaper, but that's just nitpicking.
