This formulation allows for a very light first cleansing. Cleansing oils feel heavy, and cleansing waters lack sufficient cleansing power, so I tried a cleansing gel and found the texture to be just right - not too heavy or too light. While it may not be able to thoroughly remove heavy makeup, it can handle light lip makeup like mascara with ease.
Cons
I found that very long-wearing mascaras are quite difficult to remove...ㅠ It seems the product's formulation has its limits, as I could only remove it using an eye and lip makeup remover.

This is not an exaggeration, but a product I have been using for over 5 years.. I really struggled with acne, but using this product has helped a lot! If you have sensitive skin, be sure to try it! I found that this type of product is actually better for acne-prone skin than the squeaky clean ones.
Cons
There's really nothing bad about it! But if I had to pick one, it might be that it doesn't feel like it's cleaning as thoroughly as some other products.
Tip
I know you might be worried that the gentle formula won't provide enough cleansing power, but if you apply it, gently rinse with water, and repeat, it will clean your skin thoroughly without any irritation!!

♥︎Ingredients This product is clean and free of any concerning ingredients. It is composed entirely of ingredients that are considered safe, and the total number of ingredients is relatively low. It feels like it only contains the necessary ingredients without any unnecessary additives, so even someone with sensitive skin like me could use it with more reassurance. Also, there are no extracts (e.g., centella, tea tree) added, so it would be suitable for those sensitive to such extracts. ♥︎Texture It is a white gel-cream type, with a slightly denser texture than typical mild cleansers. It has a similar feel to regular gel creams found on the market. The texture is quite dense and bouncy. ♥︎Finish The finish is quite nice. It has a lightly powdery feel. It seems a bit less moisturizing than other mild cleansers, but less drying than more alkaline cleansers. So it's somewhere in the middle. I disliked the slippery, moisturized feel after using mild cleansers, but this product doesn't have that at all, which I liked. Also, my face doesn't feel particularly taut or dry after using it, which I'm pleased about. ♥︎Irritation Since my skin is currently very sensitive, I'm still experiencing breakouts despite using this product. I had hoped it would have a soothing effect on my skin, but it doesn't seem to have any particular calming benefits. It's also not very effective against the acne or skin irritation that's flaring up. However, as I'm a special case, for those with normally non-sensitive skin, this product may not be bad to use.
Cons
♥︎Usage Experience To be honest, the usage experience wasn't that great for me. Out of all the cleansing gels and foams I've tried, this one produces the least amount of lather. Even when using a bubble maker, the lather that forms is still quite minimal when rubbing it in with my hands. It feels more like just spreading a gel cream on my face. And even with the bubble maker, the bubbles are not very dense or firm, but rather have a slightly runny texture, which makes it personally a bit difficult to use. However, I've been using the bubble maker to generate the lather before applying it. I'd recommend using this product with a bubble maker. ♥︎Cleansing Power The cleansing power is a bit lacking. It's fine to use as a morning cleanser or second cleanse, but on its own, it's clearly not enough. It doesn't remove eye makeup or base makeup very well. So even on days when I've only worn sunscreen, I always do a second cleanse. Personally, I found it worked best as a morning cleanser for me.

The cleansing gel I've tried is the gentlest and best one. It's a bit sticky, but when you rub it with your hands, it starts to lather, so it's easy to use.
Cons
If you dislike sticky textures, you may not like this. I personally enjoy the sticky feel and have been using it well.
Tip
Applying the gel without wetting your face, lathering it with your hands, and then cleansing your face seems to be an effective method.

The product is non-comedogenic, contains redness-reducing ingredients, and is suitable for sensitive skin types. It is a vegan product with a lightweight gel-lotion formula that has a relatively small number of ingredients, yet the formulation seems well-balanced. In practice, it did not cause irritation, and my skin did not feel tight after cleansing.
Cons
Since the ingredients are gentle, the product does not lather up easily. Using a cleansing brush works better to create a sufficient amount of foam. The formula is an emulsion gel type, so it's recommended to scoop out an appropriate amount and work it into a lather before rinsing, but I personally preferred using a cleansing brush.

I found it very useful when my skin was extremely sensitive, as it is very gentle. The cleansing does not provide a squeaky clean feeling.
Cons
Those who prefer a squeaky clean feeling after washing may find it lacking, as it is a mild cleanse.

It's gentle and the gel type is refreshing, so I like it. The ingredients are also good.
Cons
There are no disappointing points.

It's really gentle and good. I usually do different cleansing in the morning and evening, using an alkaline cleansing foam in the evening and a slightly acidic one in the morning. I've been using the Eucerin cleansing gel as my morning cleanser for about 2-3 years, but I was concerned about the sodium benzoate ingredient, so I decided to try something else. I found this one with good ingredients and price, and I'm really happy with it. I'm closer to combination skin, so I don't need to remove a lot of oil in the morning, and this is really gentle! I will definitely repurchase.
Cons
The texture is a bit watery and there's not much foam, but it's not a major issue.

I suddenly had a lot of adult acne, so I started a double cleansing routine. Since my skin is oily, I was looking for a cleansing gel product and ended up using this one. I'm not sure if it's because of this product, but my skin has improved a lot.
Cons
I think it would be better if they gave a slightly bigger discount. That's all!

The product is surprisingly large, with a generous amount, and very affordable. Haha!
Cons
I have sensitive and dry skin that tends to get milia, so I've always used a hydrating gel cleanser. This product is (personally) moisturizing, but it's not a cleansing gel - it's just a gel with no cleansing power at all. There are no harmful ingredients, but when I used it, my whole face turned red and irritated... I wonder why that happened... 😢
Tip
I even tried using it as a body wash, but it doesn't lather at all, so I'm just using it to wipe my butt after going to the bathroom.
