The price isn't exactly budget-friendly for everyday use, so I wait for sales.

Its mild cleansing effectiveness is both a pro and a con.

The scent isn't really my cup of tea.

I've been using this product for 10 years with my super sensitive skin (which shows how gentle it is).

I use it as my second cleanse.

It leaves my skin feeling hydrated after washing and doesn't cause any blemishes to appear.

리지스트 클렌저 [지복합성]

If you accidentally knock it over in the sink and the bottle breaks, transfer it to an empty container... That's something I wish I didn't have to learn the hard way.

While the scent is somewhat disappointing, the quality ingredients make it understandable.

Decent cleansing power, assuming you're not removing makeup. Generally safe to use even when your skin is feeling sensitive.

I didn't repurchase because it's expensive and there are so many alternatives available.

I used this product without any issues during my military service. It was pretty decent.

The price is a bit high, which is disappointing. Also, for thorough cleansing in the evening, you'll need to use a separate alkaline cleanser to feel truly clean.

I really liked that it contains various moisturizing and barrier-strengthening ingredients (hyaluronic acid, cholesterol, ceramides). It lathers well (decent cleansing effectiveness) while not leaving your skin feeling tight after rinsing (mildly acidic). I'd recommend this cleansing foam as a morning cleanser for those with oily skin who need to protect their skin barrier.

The downside is that it's quite pricey. It only comes in small sizes.

It effectively removes sunscreen without any fuss. It doesn't cause any blemishes. The oil control is just right.

It's also effective at removing point makeup!

The packaging makes it a bit tricky to use up every last drop.

Also, the scent isn't particularly pleasant.

This cleanser goes beyond balancing your skin - it actually improves it too! 

It cleanses more effectively than a regular skin balancing cleanser, while also enhancing your complexion and even helping to remove those pesky blackheads. 

And the best part? It's great at removing makeup as well!

It doesn't lather well and I'm not a fan of the scent... But it does improve my skin, so there's that!

I usually dislike the feeling of scrubbing my face and having dry skin afterwards, but this product is amazing! It doesn't cause any blemishes and leaves my skin feeling great. I'm currently using something else, but once I finish it, I'll definitely be coming back to this. I highly recommend it!

It doesn't lather well. The pH is higher than slightly acidic. After continued use, I ended up with inflammatory acne and skin irritation... It's expensive. Rarely goes on sale. The cleansing effectiveness isn't particularly strong either.

I thought it cleansed without irritation. The packaging looks luxurious.

Since I use it daily, it doesn't last as long as I'd hoped.

It's gentle and has great cleansing effectiveness. I'm already on my third bottle!

If you occasionally want to remove more sebum, I recommend mixing it with a stronger cleanser for a more thorough cleanse.

To be honest, I think including ceramides in a product that's quickly rinsed off is a bit extravagant. That's probably why the price is higher, haha!

1. Pump dispenser
I love that it comes in a hygienic and easy-to-store pump bottle. It's great that there's no worry about water getting in or oxidation occurring.

2. Low pH cleanser
While healthy skin can restore its pH balance even after using regular soap, I have sensitive skin, so I prefer low pH cleansers! Being from Paula's Choice, the ingredients are trustworthy too!

3. Gentle feel
It's wonderful that I can cleanse my face without any irritation, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth.

After finishing the sample, I opened this and have only used a pea-sized amount for two days. Is there anyone who wants to buy this from me? Please comment, I'll sell it really cheap... sigh.

Oh no... I exchanged my unopened Sioris product after falling in love with the hydration from a one-day Resist sample. But my face has been hit with a bomb of inflammation and red blemishes. I'm planning to go to the dermatologist today... sigh.

This cleanser has better hydration than Sioris and doesn't cause any deep dryness

Don't keep using a product just because of the ingredients list or other people's reviews. If you feel like something isn't working for you, it's best to stop using it right away.

At first, it seemed fine, but after using it for about a week, my face was covered in dead skin cells... It turned all white! I still continued using it for about two weeks, just in case. When I finally stopped using this cleanser, my skin returned to normal after just two days. I have good skin but it's super sensitive, so I always look for gentle products. I guess even products with good ingredients don't work for everyone. It's such a shame I have to throw away an almost new product!

The ingredients are supposed to be good? To be honest, I can't really think of anything positive. I bought it because of the great reviews, but it was terrible for me!
