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.
ConsDuring 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.

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.
ConsThe packaging is quite inconvenient - it sometimes pops out too much product, and it's hard for me to control with my weak hands.
TipIt rolls on the skin smoothly for a long time.

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

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 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.
ConsThere'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.
TipI 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.

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.
ConsIt'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.

No dryness after cleansing I used to do a 2-step cleansing routine with oil followed by a cleansing foam, but my dry skin seemed to be getting even drier. So I switched to a cream cleanser or a gentle cleansing bar instead. I used the Pola Choice cream cleanser, and since changing my cleansing routine, I haven't felt any dryness at all. However, I do find that stubborn makeup doesn't come off as easily, so I do an additional cleanse when I have heavy makeup on. 2. Large volume Although the price is a bit higher, the product comes in a large volume, so it will last a long time if you're using it alone. I think the price is good considering the quantity and quality.
ConsIt's inconvenient that the packaging is not a pump dispenser, so you have to squeeze it out.

After washing my face, my skin felt quite dry, so I tried using a cream cleanser for dry skin and I really like it. After washing, there's less dryness and it's gentle, but it's not a runny lotion type, which I like. The previous Biore product I used was a lotion type, which was inconvenient to use, but this product doesn't have that issue and can be used without irritation, so I'd recommend it for all skin types, from dry to oily and sensitive.
ConsThe price is a bit disappointing, so I tend to buy the larger size which has better value when it's on sale.
TipIt's even better if you can buy it during a sale. I have the Hwahae Trial Reviewer app added on my phone, so I purchase it when there's a sale.
