Although I have sensitive skin, I did not experience any skin troubles at all during the entire usage period (it even seemed to improve my skin troubles...!!!) 2. Since my skin is combination, the dry areas are very, very dry, but the balm-like texture kept my skin moisturized, and there was no tightness even after cleansing 3. Since it's in a balm form, I could gently rub it with my hands to remove makeup, and it did not cause any skin irritation Additionally, the makeup melted in smoothly, making cleansing easy. It also did not feel greasy, so I was very satisfied with using it.
ConsEven though I want to write about the downsides, there are none, as not only myself but my entire family used it well.

When it comes to cleansing products, the important factors are cleansing power, finish, and moisturization. 🌺The cleansing power seems to remove most things except mascara. When using the cleansing balm alone, mascara, eyeliner, and tint were still left behind, but when using the cleansing towel together, only mascara residue remained. 🌺In terms of finish, the cleansing balm ranks as follows: tissue > cream > balm > oil, with the tissue having the best finish. 🌺The moisturization is quite hydrating. As a cleansing product, it's slightly drying, but less so compared to other cleansing products. +Hwahae rating...I raised it from 4 to 5 stars! The reason is that when I first posted the review, I didn't have much time to use it, but the more I use it, the more I love it. Without separate exfoliation, my skin becomes baby-soft after using this product. I was also surprised that it removes blackheads. However, the sponge seems to retain residue over time, and I'll need to buy a new one eventually, but it hasn't caused any issues yet.
ConsThe downside is probably the price...ㅜㅜ I'm lucky to have received it through the Hwahae trial, but I don't think I'd be able to repurchase it. Also, as an unfamiliar brand, I don't have much trust in it. And the scent was disliked by me ㅜㅜ I wonder if they really had to add so much fragrance ㅜ It smells like my grandma's cosmetics@&@ The ingredients also don't seem that great ㅜㅅㅜ If I happen to get acne or my skin gets worse, I'll come back and use it again.
TipYou really need to use the cleansing towel to get the best results. The two seem to work well together ㅎㅁㅎ

Moisturizing I applied the balm on my face and massaged it, then rinsed it off with water. (I didn't use the included towel as it was inconvenient) I didn't use any additional cleansers after that. After washing, my skin felt incredibly moisturized! Even on days when I didn't apply a moisturizer, my skin wasn't very dry. I usually tend to have very dry skin, but that wasn't the case this time! It seems to have a similar feel to the oil balm from Neworigin. 2. Glow I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but my face has a healthy glow. Personally, the great moisturizing effect and this aspect make me want to purchase it. 3. Cleansing power As it's an oil balm, it removes makeup very effectively. 4. Volume The volume is enormous, so it should last a long time even with generous use.
Cons1. Packaging The container is too large, and the styrofoam lid was very messy to remove. It kept getting stuck to my hands... 2. Fragrance I personally like the herbal(?) scent, but it's quite strong. The fragrance might be divisive.
TipSo, will I buy it?: After searching, I found it's around 60,000 won, which makes me quite hesitant. Although the large volume means the cost-effectiveness isn't bad, 60,000 won for a cleansing product is still expensive in my opinion. However, given its great functions (moisturizing, glow), if I have the budget, I would consider purchasing it!

In the winter, my face is always dry and tight after cleansing, but since it's an oil balm, there was no dryness. Also, the amount is quite a lot, so I'm using it with my mom, and she also says that the makeup dissolves quickly and her face doesn't feel tight! The towel that's there just for wiping the face was really surprising (I'm not sure if that's the exact purpose).
ConsWhen it arrived, it was a bit melted, and there was oil inside the case. Also, the ingredients seem to need a little caution. I was fine, but just in case.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros1. It has good moisturizing power Normally, when I wash my face with a regular cleansing foam, my skin feels too tight, so I feel like I have to quickly apply skincare products. But after using this cleansing balm, I don't get that feeling of needing to urgently moisturize my skin. Even though I have dry skin, this seems to provide sufficient hydration. However, those with oily skin may find it too heavy. 2. It's not very irritating to the eyes Usually, cleansing products advise to gently roll around the eye area, but as a lazy Korean (=me), I just rub my face vigorously. Of course, this means the product gets into my eyes. But with this, even when I rub my eyes hard to remove mascara or eyeliner, it doesn't sting much, or only stings a little. 3. The packaging is luxurious The packaging is so luxurious that I enjoyed taking photos of it, resulting in satisfactory pictures.
Cons1. Eye irritation... no joke? Wow, the eye irritation was caused by this product. I was removing my makeup with this, then doing my skincare routine, and then lying down to use my phone before bed. But my eyes kept tearing up and feeling irritated - it was a total nightmare. I was like, "Huh, what's going on?" But then I realized, even without putting anything on my face, my eyes started feeling irritated about 20 minutes later. It's so annoying... 2. It's too inconvenient, troublesome, and bothersome The packaging is heavy, and my hands get all drippy with oil when I try to open the lid. And there's a protective cap too. I have to manually mix the separated oil and other ingredients (this may vary by product, but the one I received had the oil and other components separated). Then I have to rub it on, soak a towel in warm water, wring it out, and use that to massage it into my face, especially around the eyes. I have to really scrub the towel I used for cleansing before using it to dry my face. Ugh, what a hassle!
TipYou don't really need to use a towel^^ This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review, and I ended up writing the review a day later than the review deadline... I apologize to the brand representatives. I'll use it for one more day and see if there's anything else I can add to the review! Bow bow~

I would recommend it to those with dry skin.
ConsThe disappointing part is that while using this, I've been getting small pimples recently. Even though I don't usually get many pimples, after using this, pimples kept appearing. Since I received this as a promotional item, I used it, but I don't think I would buy and use this product again. And when I opened the package, the container itself seemed to be a bit damaged, which was not great.

Decent cleansing power The cleansing power is not extremely strong, but it provides a fairly decent cleansing performance. I had previously used the Real Barrier cleansing balm, and in comparison, this product feels like it has slightly less cleansing power. However, the difference is not significant, and it still works quite well. 2. Moisturizing feel Compared to the Real Barrier product, this has less cleansing power but more moisturizing properties. Dry skin types would likely enjoy the moisturizing sensation. As a combination skin type, I just noticed the increased moisturizing feel, but it didn't significantly increase my satisfaction. 3. Packaging components The inclusion of items like a spoon and pads shows that the brand has put thought into the product packaging. I haven't tried using the pads, but I think they could potentially enhance the cleansing power.
Cons1. Packaging When the package arrived, I thought I detected an oxidized oil smell, and upon opening it, I found that the contents had leaked out of the container. I'm not sure if the leakage came from inside the container or if something just got on the outside, but I wiped it off and continued using the product. 2. Scent There is a smell reminiscent of oxidized oil. This is likely due to the lack of or minimal use of fragrance. It's not a pleasant scent. 3. Slightly oily While I mentioned the moisturizing feel as a positive, it's more of an oily, nourishing sensation rather than a hydrating one. It's not an overwhelming oiliness, but just a slight hint of it, which may not be preferred by those with oily skin types.
TipI dislike the oily sensation, so I double cleanse using a mild, low-pH cleanser. This provides a decent user experience.

Even after cleansing, there is a subtle scent of moringa, and it is easy to cleanse with a small amount. The cleansing towel and spatula that come with the product make it convenient to use. It feels refreshed without the need for a second cleanse, and the finish is not dry but moisturized. As I have an oily skin type, this oily product felt like it cleaned me thoroughly and well-hydrated.
ConsAt night, the oil separates, and even with the lid closed, the oil keeps leaking around the lid. It seems like the container needs to be managed carefully.
TipAfter applying it to the face and rolling, wipe it once with the enclosed towel that has been dampened, then rinse with water. If you just rinse with water directly, it becomes slippery and takes longer to clean off.

My mom and I used it together and it worked really well. After washing, my skin felt very moisturized and not at all tight. It exceeded my expectations and was much better than I thought. I was a bit concerned about the ingredients, but there wasn't any major irritation. For those with sensitive skin, it's important to check if there are any problematic ingredients, and this cleansing balm may be more suitable for adults than teenagers.
ConsThe ingredients were really concerning to me. There were too many allergens and undesirable ingredients, which was very worrying for my sensitive skin. The scent is a strong glue-like fragrance that will be divisive.
TipThere's a soft cloth that comes with it, and you can use the soft part to wipe your face and the gauze-like part to remove any dead skin, so it leaves your skin feeling clean and smooth!
