But the scrub granules here are just the right size, not too small or too big, so I'm very satisfied!
Cons☆The moisturizing effect that I mentioned as an advantage can feel stuffy in the summer😂 So I use it only during the winter season.
Tip☆When you first open it, the honey layer and sugar layer are separated You need to mix them together!

It's smooth and makeup applies well. - I used it frequently in the summer and it was also great for managing my dead skin in the dry seasons like fall/winter!! Products for managing dead skin can easily dry out the skin after use, but this product was convenient and good as it managed both dead skin and moisture. - I've used over 6 bottles and my skin hasn't become problematic at all.
Cons- Blackhead removal is a bit disappointing, but it seems good for cleansing the dead skin all over the face. - When first opened, the essence part that looks like sugar and honey was separated, so I had to mix it using a spatula-like tool to use it.
Tip-Compared to the existing Skinfood wash-off packs that only had black sugar, this one has fewer sugar granules but feels more moisturizing to use. -If you generally do well with honey-related products, this one would probably be good as well.

It's really gentle, so the oils didn't get used at all and I even used an angelica soap, so my skin felt really dry. But when I use this, my skin feels so soft and supple for 2-3 days. I'll probably keep buying and using it.
ConsIt doesn't cause any trouble, but please pay attention to the ingredients. Four cautionary ingredients?

My makeup applies so well the next day. And while it effectively removes dead skin, my skin doesn't feel dry at all. This seems like a holy grail product! I used it 8 times over 2 months, and I still have about half the product left. The price is also reasonable, and the amount seems sufficient. The scent is also super sweet and pleasant.
ConsI'm a bit concerned about the PEG and BHT ingredients. I wish the ingredients were a bit safer and better.

The Black Sugar Honey Mask has a slightly smoother application than the original Black Sugar Mask (but the granule difference is not significant - both have coarse sugar granules). After the pack, there is a non-drying moisturized and glossy finish. Surprisingly, there is little irritation. As I have an extremely sensitive skin and was anxious about the coarse granules, it was not as irritating as expected, and there were no breakouts. However, I did not use it when my skin condition was poor or when I had minor skin issues, as it could be slightly irritating in those cases. When I tried it once when my skin was a bit sensitive, the areas around my nose and chin became reddened (it's obvious that I shouldn't have used a scrub when my skin was sensitive, but I foolishly tried it anyway). Still, it was much less irritating than other scrub products. The irritation was likely due to the coarse granules, but if I thoroughly moistened my face before using it, the granules dissolved quickly. In any case, I'm reassured that the granules are providing some exfoliation. Since my skin is very sensitive, I don't actively exfoliate with scrub products. I used the original Black Sugar Mask and the Black Sugar Honey Mask around twice a month, and they seemed to work well for me - minimal irritation and decent dead skin removal, which I was satisfied with.
ConsThe honey layer and sugar layer tend to separate (it's questionable whether the honey layer is truly honey). I have to mix it every time I use it. Using a spatula is essential for these types of jar masks, but as a lazy person, the hassle of cleaning the spatula is a bit annoying. I often just scoop it out with my fingers instead of properly using a spatula. The skin feel after using the product: Initially, it feels moisturized and non-drying. It gives a sense of hydration, but more of an oily/greasy feel, like applying a shower oil like Johnson's baby body oil right after showering without rinsing. The original Black Sugar Mask didn't have this oily/greasy feel at all. So I double cleanse after using the Black Sugar Honey Mask, as the lingering oily feel bothers me. If I don't double cleanse, it paradoxically ends up feeling dry, as the surface is just coated in an oily moistness, while the inner layers of the skin feel dehydrated. It's like when you use a cleansing oil without double cleansing - the surface feels slick, but the skin underneath is very dry. The scent: The scent is nice. Personally, I prefer the subtle citrusy-sweet scent of the original Black Sugar Mask, but the Honey Mask also has a pleasant sweet, musky fragrance. However, the scent is quite strong. After using the mask, the honey scent lingers throughout the whole house, which is nice for creating a fragrant home environment. But since I usually use face masks in the evening or at night, the strong scent makes it hard for me to sleep, as it feels like my whole face has become the honey mask. The scent is even stronger than actual honey.
TipUsing the mask during shower time is great. Given the product's characteristics, thoroughly wetting the skin helps minimize irritation. When showering, the skin is already damp, so you can apply the mask and let it sit for 3-5 minutes while you wash your body, hair, or brush your teeth. Then, rinse it off for a refreshed, clean feeling. There's no worry about the mask dripping or getting on your clothes during a shower. I also like to use the leftover mask to gently scrub my hands and elbows - it's like a DIY black sugar hand scrub, leaving my skin smooth and glowing.

At first, the effects were amazing! My skin texture became incredibly smooth, and I thought 'Wow, this really is a life-changing product!' So I used it three or four times a week. But the effects didn't last as long as they did at first... Still, it has a lovely honey scent, and it's great for exfoliating and moisturizing at the same time.
ConsOne time I used it with a face mask, and my skin turned red. I'm not sure if it was the mask that caused the issue... I'm still unsure whether I should rinse off the honey less thoroughly and skip the toner, or if I should rinse it off completely and then apply the toner before going to bed. The effects seem to be diminishing over time.
TipI found that when I intentionally rinsed off the honey a little less thoroughly and skipped the toner (since I have oily skin), it was more effective for me. You're supposed to gently massage it onto your face, but if you press too hard, your skin can get red, so be gentle!

I think it would be good for those with dry skin. Even though I have oily skin, I didn't have much trouble with dryness or breakouts.
ConsAfter washing my face, there is a bit of a slippery feeling from the essence ingredients, and this can make the bathroom floor a bit slippery.

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 dry seasonal changes meant I wanted a moisturizing scrub with more hydration than the existing Black Sugar, and the honey-rich formula provides abundant moisture without significantly reducing the scrubbing effect. While the oil ingredients mean I don't leave it on for 15-20 minutes as instructed and just scrub and rinse immediately, the moisturizing effect is excellent. Compared to the original Black Sugar, the addition of honey makes the application smooth and easy to spread evenly.
ConsUpon first use, the honey and sugar layers were separated, so I had to thoroughly mix the entire container with a brush or applicator. For very oily skin, the abundant honey and glycerin moisturizing ingredients may feel a bit heavy, so testing is recommended.
TipIt provides excellent hydration, an appropriate scrubbing effect, and even works as a lip scrub.

I repurchased it.
ConsThere are some not-so-good ingredients like PEG in the formula, and the honey is a bit difficult to wash off.

After using the pack, my skin feels so soft and moisturized that I don't even need to apply cream right away. Plus, it effectively removes dead skin cells, so I'm completely satisfied.
ConsThe process of dissolving the sugar can irritate the skin and cause redness on the face.
TipI recommend gently dissolving the sugar without applying too much pressure. Especially if you wet your hands and rub it, the sugar will dissolve quickly.
