This gentle, slightly acidic foam cleanser is free from parabens, fragrances, and surfactants, yet its cleansing effectiveness is fantastic! Just wet your hands a bit, lather it up, and you get a rich, creamy foam. Plus, the price is so affordable... It's the best!
ConsThere was a lot of talk about humectants being added at some point, but it seems that's gone now, haha!
TipI use apricot kernel oil from iHerb for cleansing, followed by this as a final step. The apricot kernel oil is absolutely amazing for removing blackheads and whiteheads... You can feel the dead skin cells and sebum as you roll it on your skin. You can even see the blackheads that have come out! Then I gently press a facial tissue on my face to absorb the excess oil, like using blotting paper, and thoroughly wipe my palms. After that, I wash my hands with soap and finish with this cleansing gel. It's truly the best! The only downside of the apricot kernel oil is that it's not on Hwahae since it's not technically a cosmetic product. I really want to spread the word about this amazing tip!

While it doesn't lather much, that's typical for natural products, and the foam level was still decent. It seemed gentle, and I finished several bottles without any skin issues.
ConsThe only downsides were that it doesn't create a rich lather and feels a bit slippery, so you might need to wash multiple times, which can leave your skin feeling slightly dry. However, it cleanses well and isn't as drying as other foam cleansers, so I was satisfied. After finishing the product and reading reviews to write my own, I'm shocked considering my skin hasn't shown any major problems. Apparently, there were some ingredients I usually try to avoid, even in small amounts. It seems the formula has changed since then, so those ingredients might not be present anymore.
TipMake sure to carefully check the ingredient list before purchasing... I can't believe I fell for this!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've been using this for over 3 years. Being low pH, it's been improving my skin, leaving it moisturized after cleansing, and it's excellent at removing makeup. I don't wear much makeup, but I always apply sunscreen, and it removes mineral sunscreens well. There might be other factors, but I've just turned 30, and my skin is aging much slower compared to my friends. I'm not sure if it's because I don't wear foundation, always apply sunscreen, use a low pH cleanser, or a combination of all three. The one thing I've been doing the longest is using this low pH cleanser. Buying in bulk through direct purchase allows the whole family to use it generously, and it's incredibly affordable. It might be the most economical low pH cleanser out there.
ConsThe only downside might be that you have to purchase it directly... To be honest, I keep using it because I don't have any complaints. However, I've heard it doesn't work for some people. Reading reviews on iHerb, some users have experienced serious side effects. Could the low pH be the issue? It would be better if you could test it in-store, but since it's only available through direct purchase, there's a risk of wasting money. My family and I just happened to be lucky that it works well for us.
TipRegarding the humidifier disinfectant ingredient, I believe it's fine as long as it's not used in large quantities or inhaled in fine particles like in a humidifier. Originally, it was approved without thorough testing because it was considered safe enough to ingest. It's actually present in many wet wipes we commonly use.

Other foam cleansers make my face feel tight right after use, but this one is fine thanks to its low pH.
ConsI've been using this product exclusively for years, but after checking Hwahae, I was shocked to discover the ingredients have changed. I don't think I'll be able to use it anymore.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI like that it's mildly acidic and the price is great for 473ml. I use it as a second-step foam cleanser, so I'm not sure about any eye irritation. My sensitive skin tolerates it well. I was surprised to find out it contained a humidifier sterilizing ingredient - I checked the product and it was really there! However, when I looked at a new product I bought in February this year, that ingredient was removed. The formulation seems to have changed a bit too. They must have altered the ingredients this year. I'll switch to using the recently purchased one. The version on the Hwahae app seems to be last year's formula.
ConsThe presence of the humidifier sterilizing ingredient in the older version, though it's been removed from recent products. As I have dry skin, this product doesn't provide much hydration.

It's perfect for second cleansing or morning routines. The price is affordable, and you get a generous amount. I'm so satisfied that I've gone through about 4-5 bottles already!
ConsThe only downside is that you have to purchase it from overseas. Other than that, I don't have any complaints. My skin isn't particularly sensitive, so I find this to be a versatile product without any real drawbacks.

For dry skin, nothing compares to this. It was my holy grail that I always kept stocked up on.
ConsI can't understand why they changed the formula and added ingredients that weren't necessary. I used it gratefully until they added that humidifier disinfectant ingredient.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is my holy grail cleanser! Not only is it budget-friendly, but its cleansing effectiveness is also incredible! It removes even heavy makeup in one go without causing any irritation. (Of course, you should use a separate lip and eye makeup remover for those areas... Using just a cleanser for eyes and lips isn't good for your skin health!) Being slightly acidic, it's also perfect as a morning cleanser.
ConsI've read in iHerb reviews that for those prone to blemishes, slightly acidic products might not be suitable. Cleansing gels are great for those with sensitive skin. You need to choose your cleansing format - whether it's oil, gel, foam, balm, or water - based on your skin type. Many people feel unsatisfied because it doesn't give that squeaky clean feeling, but that's not really a product issue. It's more about modern consumers mistakenly equating foam with cleansing power...
TipThis one product is enough for thorough cleansing. Using multiple products two or three times isn't good for your skin! I have thin skin prone to redness, and using this cleansing gel has significantly improved my complexion.

It had great reviews, and when I checked it on Hwahae, I found it didn't contain any harsh components, so I decided to buy it. I'm currently using my second tube and I'm quite satisfied.
ConsI didn't find any downsides, but I must say the texture feels different from typical cleansing foams. When I use a low pH cleanser, I usually gauge its effectiveness during my toner step. I apply toner with a cotton pad, and if there's no residue (like foundation) on the pad, I feel assured that my skin is clean. This product gives me a similar experience to a low pH cleanser. It doesn't have that intense scrubbing sensation like some store-bought cleansing foams, but after using this as my second-step cleanser and following up with toner on a cotton pad, I found no residue. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe fact that it's a low pH cleanser and a non-soap product makes it really gentle and great for the skin! Plus, it comes in a beast-sized bottle!! Great value for money too! I've been using it for over 5 years now!
ConsThe downside is that, like most non-soap and low pH products, it doesn't lather well. Especially if your hands have oil or dirt on them, it won't foam at all! Wash your hands with hand soap before touching your face. If you're wearing makeup, it's best to use an oil, cream, or emulsion cleanser first, then follow up with this.
TipOn days when I've only applied sunscreen (not waterproof), I don't double cleanse. Instead, I apply this to my dry face and massage it in! Then I add a bit of water and continue rolling it around. It actually rinses off surprisingly well this way.
