Pros
The slightly sticky texture is not ideal, but this product has a smooth and polished finish that I really like. After cleansing, my face doesn't feel tight, which I appreciate. The scent is the Aveda fragrance, which I personally enjoy, but it may be divisive.
Cons
The fragrance is polarizing. The cleansing power is somewhat lacking. The price is high relative to the performance.

Pros
I am satisfied that my skin is not dry after cleansing. The cleansing gel has sufficient cleansing power and is good.
Cons
It tends to be used a bit generously compared to oil-based formulas, and the fragrance is a matter of personal preference.

Pros
It's gentle. It's not a sticky, gooey formula like some gel cleansers, but applies smoothly and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized after cleansing. There's no dryness or tightness. The scent is similar to the ginseng aroma found in some traditional herbal cosmetics, but it's not overpowering and I find it pleasant. I'd recommend this as a morning cleanser or as a second cleanse to remove makeup, especially the kind that's transfer-proof.
Cons
Personally, I prefer cleansers that produce a rich, creamy lather, and even though I have dry skin, I like that slightly squeaky-clean feeling after cleansing. This product doesn't lather at all, and while the moisturizing aspect is a plus, I think I'll save it for use during the transitional seasons or winter when my skin is extra dry.

Pros
The lather may not seem very abundant, but regardless of the lather, the cleansing power is sufficient, and after cleansing, there is no tightening feeling - it feels very moisturizing and great. The natural, relaxing fragrance that is characteristic of Aveda is also very pleasant. I'm usually cautious when massaging with a foam cleanser since I have dry skin, but this product is not like that.
Cons
The only downside is that it's a bit pricey..ㅠㅠ But it's a bit better if you buy it at the duty-free shop.

Pros
I've switched products based on how moisturized my skin feels after cleansing, rather than just the squeaky-clean sensation. - Compared to other products, this one does leave my skin feeling less dry and more hydrated after cleansing. - This was my first time using a gel-type cleanser, and while the Aveda one doesn't really have a gel-like texture, more of a thin, watery consistency, I found that it blends well with my makeup during cleansing. - I occasionally get clogged pores, but I didn't experience any breakouts or skin issues after using this.
Cons
- I bought this as a primary cleansing product, but it doesn't seem to have the cleansing power I was hoping for. - More importantly, the price is on the higher end compared to other products, but I don't see any standout benefits or effects. Skin type can vary, so I'd recommend checking it out carefully before purchasing.
Tip
Since I already bought it, I've been using it to wipe down areas with body acne while showering. It's not overly harsh, so I can use it without any issues.

Pros
My skin is sensitive, so if I use something that doesn't suit me, it immediately reacts. But this cleanser really worked well for me. It's gentle, and there's no tightness after washing, which I really liked. The scent is also not unpleasant, and I think I used it very well!
Cons
The only downside is that it's too slippery, so you have to wash it several times. Other than that, everything was fine.

Pros
Even though it is sensitive, it is gently and well-written, so I used it twice. After cleansing, there is no tightness and it is not bad for dry skin.
Cons
Since it is a pump-type, the hole from which it comes out gets clogged with hardened gel when used for a long time.

Pros
It's great to use in the morning. My skin didn't feel dry or tight, which I liked.
Cons
I didn't like the feeling of my skin not being fully cleansed when I used it in the evening, so I switched products.

Pros
Even though I have sensitive skin, I didn't have any breakouts and it was especially helpful for my dry skin.
Cons
The scent is a bit unique, you could say - it's kind of like an aromatic fragrance, and some people say they like that, but I wasn't a big fan.

Pros
While there is no crisp, refreshing sensation, it is not overly dry and very good. If you dislike the slippery feeling, gently scrubbing with a loofah while rinsing will make the slipperiness disappear.
Cons
Even though I am a mature adult, the slippery feeling is a downside.
Tip
Using a loofah together is recommended.
