The pump-type design made it easy to use, and the lightweight feel made it convenient to carry around. The tangy scent was pleasant. A single pump produced ample lather, and the cleansing left my skin with a nice balance of softness and suppleness.
Cons
The lather wasn't as rich and abundant as I'd hoped, so it may not appeal to everyone. The price-to-volume ratio isn't particularly affordable. I experienced itchiness right after using it, and my entire face and scalp line became severely irritated, taking nearly a month to recover. Pus has spread all over my face.

This is a review after using up the entire product! It was great that it cleansed my atopic sensitive skin without any irritation. The ingredients were gentle, and the cleansing was satisfactory, so I was very pleased with it.~
Cons
There wasn't really any disappointing aspect while using it.

- My skin is very sensitive, and even products I used to like don't work for me anymore, but I've repurchased this product multiple times. - When I apply my makeup lightly, this product alone does a great job of removing it. - It's also effective for exfoliating.
Cons
- So far, there's nothing I'm really dissatisfied with in terms of the product itself. - If I had to nitpick, it would be that when I bring the full-size bottle with me when traveling, the product sometimes leaks out of the container.

I really like how it removes even makeup when washing my face, just like a cleansing oil.
Cons
The price seems a bit high compared to the amount. It would be great if they could lower the price or increase the volume.

This skin has a suitable dry texture that becomes healthier with a bit of oil. My skin is relatively good, so after washing my face at night, I wouldn't wash it again until the next night (as I'm a housewife and stay at home taking care of my children). I always thought the occasional small bumps were due to oiliness, so I only knew about watery products or those that remove oil. But that wasn't the case. After using this product, it has helped with my aging, dryness-induced wrinkles, butterfly zone pores, and skin texture. My skin looks smoother after cleansing. I'll continue using it. The fragrance is also to my liking.
Cons
Those with oily skin may find it a bit less refreshing... If your makeup is heavy, it might not all come off in one cleanse..? I don't wear makeup, just sunscreen.
Tip
Pump it 3 times without water, gently roll it with your fingertips, let it sit for a bit, then rinse with wet hands.

I've tried various cleansers, but mild acidic cleansers are still the best for me. These days, the weather is cold and my skin has become very sensitive. I heard that mild acidic cleansers are less irritating to the skin, so I bought one and tried it. It's gentle and nice?? A pregnant friend of mine with sensitive skin recommended this gentle foam cleanser, and I'm glad I trusted her and switched to it. Before, my skin would feel dry and tight after washing, but that's no longer the case. Even the blemishes on my chin seem to have calmed down a bit. Now I understand why they recommended the mild acidic one. Not just for people with sensitive skin, but also for those whose skin has gone haywire during pregnancy, this is worth a try. It removes makeup well and my skin looks better, which makes me feel good too.
Cons
It's a pump type, which is nice because you can lock and unlock it, but it's a bit too big to bring when traveling! I wish they had a mini-mini tube version too?? Without this, I feel like I can't properly cleanse my face when I'm out.
Tip
I use different cleansing methods for bare face versus made-up face. For bare face, I don't need to use a lot of product - I just gently massage a small amount onto my damp face and rinse with lukewarm water. It leaves my skin feeling really soft and hydrated. For makeup removal, I need to be more thorough, so I apply the cleanser to my dry face and then massage it in before rinsing. This seems to remove the makeup more effectively than cleansing on a damp face.

I've escaped the acne struggle! My skin wasn't very clear, and I had a lot of acne, but after switching cleansers, my acne seems to have completely disappeared. There's still a bit of redness, but the bumpy acne has gone away, and I'm very satisfied. I'm quite sensitive, so I don't use just any product on my skin, but a friend recommended this mild, low-pH cleanser to me. They said it's also famous for being safe for pregnant women, so I thought it would be very gentle, and sure enough, it's surprisingly mild and doesn't irritate my skin at all. There are not many products I can use without irritation, but this one is great. I was especially surprised that it effectively removes makeup with just one cleanse, without needing a double cleanse. Normally, my skin feels very tight after washing, but this leaves my skin feeling moisturized all the way through. After cleansing, I can just do a light skincare routine and my skin feels refreshed. I feel like I've finally found a skincare product that really suits my skin.
Cons
The size is great for home use, but a bit large to carry around. Could you make a mini travel-sized version as well?
Tip
I usually have trouble with my skin when I can't properly wash it while traveling, but this cleanser has a pump that you can lock and unlock, so I can take it with me and still wash my face thoroughly when I'm on the go. And since it's safe for pregnant women and babies, it's great for sensitive skin types, so my whole family can use it - it's a two-in-one solution!

When I went to the esthetic salon, the owner asked me how I wash my face after seeing my skin. I said I do a 1-step cleansing oil and a 2-step mild cleansing foam, but she said that's too much for my dry and sensitive skin and that the 2-step cleansing would be too irritating. She recommended the shop's all-in-one cleansing gel instead. I was satisfied with it, but the price of 80,000 won for 400ml was burdensome, so I started looking for an alternative. Then my friend recommended the Palm Tree Cleansing Gel! If I like a product, I tend to stick with it, and I've been using this one for about 3 years now. I'm really satisfied with its cleansing power, lack of irritation, less tightness after washing compared to other products, and the price. It's great for dry, sensitive skin and for removing makeup. I just use this for my first cleanse now (rolling it on dry skin then rinsing with water if I have makeup, or just a small amount with water in the morning). There's no residue or uncomfortable feeling left after cleansing.
Cons
I strongly wish they would release a larger size!! The current 200ml size lasts me 2-3 months, so I'd love to buy a bigger one if they offered it. ใ ใ ใ I also hope Palm Tree can give us some discounts sometimes ใ ใ

The design is clean and a bit slim and long, so it doesn't take up much space, which is great. It's a pump type, so there's no hassle of opening and closing the lid. When you first pump it, it comes out in a gel form, and you can roll it on your face without any water. Later, when you wipe your face with a little water, it lathers up nicely. Since I do my makeup every day, thorough cleansing is the most important thing, right? And the issue was whether it could properly clean out the pores and impurities, but using this gel-to-foam cleanser, there's no residue left during the skincare routine, which is great. I used to do a double cleanse with oil and foam, but since switching to this cleanser, I don't use the oil anymore, and my face feels less oily. My skin is combination, so it's been difficult to manage, and it's been hard to find the right products, but I think I found a good one this time. After washing my face, I used to sometimes feel a tightness, but I haven't experienced that so far. I hope to continue using this as my go-to cleanser.
Cons
When I buy a larger size to use for a longer time, since I wash my face daily, the amount sometimes feels a bit lacking, and it's a bit of a hassle to have to reorder. Next time, I might just buy 2-3 at once.
Tip
When you wear makeup for a long time, your skin can feel suffocated, but after doing a facial massage-like rolling motion at the end of the day, it feels refreshed. Even without doing a double cleanse, just wiping with a toner leaves no residue. I think thoroughly cleansing every nook and cranny is important. And on the days I don't cleanse in the morning, just lightly pumping and mixing with a bit of water works great - no tightness or stickiness, just the right amount of skin-breathing feeling.

It's gentle and non-irritating, which I like. After cleansing, my skin doesn't feel dry and I can feel the moisture. ๐ It also removes makeup well.
Cons
Those who prefer a squeaky-clean feeling may not like it.
