During use, there have been no breakouts or issues, and if you have a skin type that is not excessively dry, I think you should consider it.

For my severely dry and sensitive skin, I prioritize moisturizing power when choosing products. The cleanser must also be non-irritating and not leave my skin feeling dry after use. I carefully selected this product after seeing that it is suitable for dry and sensitive skin types. Upon using it, I found that it is not as harsh as the description suggests for my skin type. As a cream-based formula, it is somewhat thick in texture with minimal foaming. For my daily cleansing needs as someone who does not wear much makeup, this cleanser is satisfactory.

It rolls on the skin smoothly for a long time.

The packaging is quite inconvenient - it sometimes pops out too much product, and it's hard for me to control with my weak hands.

This is recommended as a second cleansing or morning cleansing product! It's suitable for combination to dry skin types. There's a separate one for normal to oily skin types.
It's not overly drying, but I tend to feel dryness even in the summer, especially after cleansing! This one leaves my skin feeling nicely moisturized!
I just repurchased it because my skin was feeling really tight and dehydrated.

The price seems a bit high compared to the product volume. It would be great if you could increase the volume a little.

The cleansing was gentle and non-irritating, which I really enjoyed.

You need to use a larger amount than expected to roll it on smoothly,
and it doesn't rinse off easily with water.

It applies smoothly and the moisturizing effect remains even after cleansing.
I recommend it for dry skin.

For some users, this could also work well as a primary cleanser.

The only downside is that since it's a milky, non-foaming type, you need to use quite a bit of product to cover the entire face, so it gets used up relatively quickly.

This is my holy grail cleanser.
As someone who gets bored easily, I don't have many staple skincare products that I stick to.
Even when I do find something I like, I tend to switch it up after a while.
But with this product, I'm currently using the regular size bottle and two large bottles in a row.
I've tried countless cleansers, but this one is the best.
I remember using it a long time ago before it was reformulated, and I loved it then too.
After developing skin irritation, I tried this again and it became my holy grail.

No matter what I do, my skin used to always feel dry.
But after using this cleanser, my skin feels moisturized and not dry at all after washing.
Other cleansers would leave an odd tightness, but this one doesn't have that issue at all.
And of course, there's no redness either.

The cleansing power is also quite good.
Ever since my skin irritation, I never do a two-step cleansing routine with oil or water, but this cleanser can remove light makeup and sunscreen just fine with a bit of extra effort.

Using just one product is not enough, so I'm double cleansing with a foaming cleanser.

My skin is incompatible with about 99% of cosmetics due to glycerin allergy. This product, however, does not contain glycerin and is moisturizing and non-irritating.

I recommend using a lip and eye makeup remover to take off eye makeup first when your makeup is heavy. This product can remove it, but it can sting the eyes.
Apply the cream cleanser directly to your bare skin and roll it around, then rinse it off with water to properly emulsify it. Roll it around in an emulsified state to dissolve sunscreen, BB cream, or foundation, then rinse thoroughly.
If you still feel a bit residue, you can do a second cleanse with a foam cleanser, but I just use this product one more time.
When using it as a morning cleanser, you can wet your face first, then apply the product as directed on the back of the bottle, roll it around, and rinse.

There's nothing! There's nothing else to use. It was a pain to have to buy it only from the official website before, but now it's all available through Naver Pay, so I can earn points, which is nice.

This cleanser is the only one that works for my sensitive, reactive, and picky skin that easily breaks out from even the slightest mismatch in skincare products. Everyone's skin responds differently to ingredients, and it seems mineral oil agrees well with mine.
It removes makeup thoroughly and can also be used as a morning cleanser. Even though I have dry skin, it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and dry after use, but rather leaves it comfortably smooth. I love you, Polarskin. Please don't discontinue this product.
It used to be a hassle to buy it only from the brand's official website, but now it's available on the Naver Shopping platform and at Olive Young stores, which is great.

The ingredients are disappointing. It's a product I've been using for a few years, but the ingredients are

This is sufficient for cleansing your makeup.

It's a bit inconvenient that it's not a pump bottle and you have to squeeze it out. But in terms of the product itself, there's nothing disappointing about it being gentle.

Other cream cleansers or oil cleansers feel slippery after washing, but the Paula's Choice cream cleanser doesn't feel slippery, which I like. I'm not sure if the cleansing power is good since I don't usually wear heavy makeup, but it works well for basic makeup. My skin doesn't feel tight after using it.

I think using this product after an oil cleanse would be a good routine.

1. The lather doesn't seem to form well. :(
2. It's a bit more expensive than other brand products.

1. It seems suitable for use on all skin types as it is very gentle.
2. There is no tightness and the skin feels moisturized after cleansing.
3. There was no redness on the face after cleansing.
4. I previously used the blue (balancing) one, but my skin's dryness disappeared after switching to this product.

Everything was good, but after the reformulation about 12 years ago, it became thicker and more difficult to spread evenly across the entire face.
So I bought a pump bottle from Olive Young to dispense it.
After finishing that, I switched to a more lightweight moisturizing booster.

It's great for morning cleansing as it's non-irritating. Most importantly, it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight, which is the best part.

All of the Pola Choice cleansers have a two-step cleansing function, making them smart and efficient cleansers.

Those unfamiliar with cream cleansers may find them to have a somewhat unpleasant feeling. I also had that impression at first.

At first, I was quite surprised by the lack of foaming in the cleanser, as I was used to using very foamy cleansers. However, I was impressed by its excellent cleansing power and the soft, moisturizing cleansing experience, and I kept reaching for it. I was able to use it without worry even on sensitive skin days, and there was no tightness after cleansing.
