However, I diligently used the cleansing balm during my trip and will provide an honest evaluation. First of all, the cleansing power is absolutely amazing!! I've been using cleansing oils up until now, but in my personal opinion, the balm is far superior in terms of cleansing performance. I didn't experience any greasiness or stickiness at all, and I felt that this product really suits me well.
ConsI was very interested in repurchasing this as I felt it worked so well for me, but after searching, I found that the regular price is 60,000 won... Honestly, I don't think I'm willing to pay that much for it, even though it's a great match for me. It's a shame that there aren't more cost-effective alternatives. Also, the truth is that I have sensitive skin, so I usually thoroughly analyze the ingredients on Hwahae before buying cosmetics. This product doesn't have the best ingredients, but surprisingly, it didn't cause any issues for my skin. However, the subpar ingredients and lack of cost-effectiveness mean I probably won't go out of my way to purchase this again.
TipSince this is a cleansing balm, I highly recommend using a spatula for hygienic application.

I usually just rub my nose with cleansing oil and wipe off eye and lip makeup with cleansing tissues or lip and eye remover, and then finish with a cleansing foam. However, this cleansing balm didn't sting my eyes and had less oiliness than cleansing oil, so it was great for removing blackheads from my nose and as a substitute for cleansing tissues to remove eye makeup. And it removed even heavy makeup very cleanly, which I really liked.
ConsThe price is a bit burdensome to purchase directly, but the amount seems to be more than the cleansing balms I've used before.
TipFor those who do multi-step cleansing, using this balm and then a two-step cleansing with a cleansing foam would be great. Of course, this is only if you don't have full makeup on! And be sure to use the included towel.

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 is a review of the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. First of all, I really liked how perfectly it cleansed. Normally, even after double cleansing, I still feel like something is left behind and my skin feels a bit dirty, and I would sometimes even get breakouts the next day. But with this product, it feels like it really cleanses deep down, and my skin feels so clean afterwards. The packaging also comes with cleansing cloths and a detailed instruction manual, even though it's not in Korean. That attention to detail made me feel like they really took care of the product. And it even comes with a spatula! These days, my skin has been so dry and cracked due to the cold weather and wind, but after cleansing with this product, my skin doesn't feel tight at all. I think it's because the product is quite oily, so my skin doesn't feel stripped after cleansing. Overall, I'm very satisfied with using this product.
ConsFirst of all, the ingredients! As soon as I won this, I immediately checked the ingredients, and since my skin is extremely sensitive, one of the things I'm very careful about when buying cosmetics is the ingredients. So I didn't just start using this right away, but tested it on the back of my ear and my wrist for a few days first. Luckily, there was no reaction, but I would really recommend that sensitive-skinned people do a patch test before using this, since it's a foreign product. And the price... I tend to use makeup lightly, so even using a small amount is enough for me, but I don't feel like the amount is that much. But it costs 60,000 won...? I'm really sorry, but I don't think I would buy this with my own money. I'd rather buy another brand with good ingredients and a more reasonable price.
TipI'd recommend this to dry-skinned people and those who are worried about their cleansing not being thorough enough! But I wouldn't recommend this to students like me...

The balm-type cleansing was very good at gently removing makeup. 2. When I woke up, my skin felt moisturized and supple (I have combination skin). 3. The citrus scent and the rich yet smooth texture allowed me to use it without much resistance. There is definitely a reason why this product is so well-known. It gave me a glimpse of the smooth and soft skin of my 20s, like a peeled hard-boiled egg.
ConsThe price is a bit expensive. ㅜㅜ The price is a concern that makes me think twice. As someone who is incredibly lazy, I don't have the confidence to wash the included towel every day. So I ended up just using a soft disposable cotton pad instead.
TipIt seems to effectively remove excess sebum as well. Try rolling it on the areas around your nose too.

It looked like it would have a rough texture, but when I held it, it melted softly, which was surprising. The application was smooth, and the makeup was removed very cleanly without any irritation. I usually use an eye-specific makeup remover because my eyes are sensitive, but this removed my eye makeup thoroughly without any irritation, which I really liked. I dampened the included towel with warm water and wiped with the soft cotton side, and the makeup came off surprisingly well. After cleansing, my skin felt smooth and my complexion was remarkably brighter, more so than any other cleansing product I've tried before. I watched the tutorial videos online, and the method seemed a bit too aggressive for my liking, so I was very careful when using the towel at first. But when removing mascara and red lipstick, I did need to wipe a bit more firmly, and there was still minimal irritation, which was great. I didn't wash my face with water, but just used the mist and moisturizer, and there was no residue left, no tightness or dryness, just a nice, hydrated feeling. I've been using it for a week now, and I can definitely see my skin tone getting brighter, so I'm considering this as a must-have item that I want to keep using. I looked it up and saw that it's a British product made with natural ingredients, which gives me confidence. I'm usually sensitive to products and get breakouts, but even though it has some allergy-causing ingredients listed, I haven't had any issues using it.
ConsThe usage method is a bit complicated, and the YouTube videos show that you need to do some massaging, which seems a bit inconvenient. It's also difficult to control the amount to use. Some days I felt like I used too much, which was a bit wasteful. There are some small granules in it that don't dissolve very well, which is uncomfortable, and the longer cleansing time required is a bit of a hassle for someone like me who prefers a quick cleansing routine. The inconvenience of having to wash and dry the towel for reuse, and not being sure about the purpose of the soft cotton towel, is also a downside. It's disappointing that you can't use the full-size cleansing product with just one towel. The large case size also makes it inconvenient to carry around.
TipWhen using the towel, I found that if I soak it in very warm water and hold the hot towel on my face for about 3 seconds before gently pressing, it helps remove the makeup much more smoothly. It really feels like I'm getting a facial treatment. After cleansing, I can definitely see a brighter, clearer complexion, which really lifts my mood. I also tried washing my face with just water, and I found that using the towel leaves my skin looking even more radiant. I'm not sure if it's the moringa ingredients or the secret of the towel, but even though it's a bit inconvenient, I think the benefits to my skin are well worth it, so I strongly recommend using the towel.

The cleansing works well, and it gently and moisturizes to thoroughly remove not only impurities but also heavy point makeup cleanly, which seems great.
ConsIt might be too oily, so it could be burdensome for oily or troubled skin types. Also, since it's a product I received through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, I didn't have that concern, but the price seems too high and burdensome.

During the massage, I felt a warm, cozy 🔥 sensation on my skin. It felt like I was getting a luxurious spa treatment, haha. The warmth helped dissolve the oil and makeup more effectively. ❤️ Texture The cleansing oil sometimes flows and drips down my palm when I squeeze it out. This has led to it getting on my clothes at times. But this product maintains its form until it melts with body heat, so it didn't have that runny texture and allowed for a clean cleansing. ❤️ Effectiveness The cleansing performance was great, and the after-effects were also good. I used this product for my first cleanse and followed up with a second cleanse. Even after that, my skin felt very moisturized. My skin didn't feel tight or dry until I applied my skincare routine.
Cons❄️ Cleansing Towel As many have mentioned, there was a bit of inconvenience with washing the towel. Of course, it was easy to clean, but for some reason, it felt a bit unpleasant. I had to massage it with the cleansing foam and rinse it a couple of times, and having to do that every day was a bit of a hassle. ❄️ Oops, Left it in a Warm Place..! Uh-oh, this was an unavoidable issue. I had left it in a warm room, and later, parts of it had melted, like icebergs floating on the sea, ㅜㅜ. Everyone, please store it in a cool place.
Tip🙂 My mom also used it, and after applying it to her face, she even did a steam towel treatment. After that, her skin was... amazing ㅜ I hope you all can experience the benefits of the steam towel + cream as well.

The product is in a balm form that melts on contact with body temperature. A small amount is sufficient for a facial massage. At first, I didn't notice much difference, but after using it for about a week, people around me commented that my skin texture had improved! I also noticed that cleansing while massaging my face made my skin smoother, and my makeup applied better the next day. Particularly, the pores and whiteheads on my nose area have significantly reduced. These days, as the weather gets colder and my skin loses moisture, I've had less issues with flaky skin, which has also improved. The amount shown in the attached photo is enough to thoroughly remove makeup and impurities. I'm very satisfied with the cleansing performance of this product.
ConsOne potential downside is that the scent may be divisive. There is a slightly tangy fragrance, so it may not be suitable for those sensitive to scents. However, it shouldn't be a major issue for most users. Another consideration is the ingredients. According to Hwahae, the product contains around 4 potentially harmful ingredients. But since it's a cleansing product that isn't left on the face, it may still be acceptable to use. I plan to continue using the sample I received and see how it works for me. However, for those with oily or acne-prone skin, a lighter formula might be more suitable. The balm texture left my skin feeling nicely moisturized after cleansing, but those with oily skin may find it leaves a residual oiliness. (This is just my personal opinion!)
TipAfter massaging the skin with the cleansing balm, I recommend using a warm, damp face towel to gently wipe it off. Be sure to pay extra attention to areas that may be harder to cleanse, like around the eyes and hairline. I also found that doing multiple water rinses helped ensure a thorough cleansing. Wiping with a toner after cleansing also helped remove any remaining residue. The use of the warm towel provided a steaming effect that helped with exfoliating and reducing the appearance of pores, leaving my skin feeling smooth and refined. The combination of the cleansing balm massage, warm towel, and toner wiping resulted in a very deep, yet gentle cleanse. I'm quite satisfied with how clean and refreshed my skin feels after this routine.

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.Pros(Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review) - I was worried that the white towel would get dirty when wiping off cosmetics, but I was surprised that the towel washed off so well with just water. - When wiping with the towel, I felt that even just the first cleansing was enough to clean well. But it would still be good to do a second cleansing. Or you could wipe with a cleansing water first, and then do the second cleansing with this product. Wiping with the towel seems to remove sebum well too. - The ingredients didn't seem that great, and I was worried my acne-prone skin might get worse, but after cleansing and waking up, my skin looked so much better. It looked brighter and more lively. At night, the tightness after cleansing was also less noticeable.
Cons- I didn't really feel like the fragrance was that great. But it didn't affect the usage that much either. - The towel felt a bit rough, actually. It felt soft when I touched it with my hands, but when I used it to wipe my face, it was a bit painful. It could be because I have acne-prone skin. - Considering the amount, the price is too expensive for me to buy with my own money.
Tip-You don't need to use a lot, as a small amount is enough for cleansing. -I liked using a cleansing water first and then using this for the second cleansing.

Cons⚡️It's a hassle to wash and dry the enclosed towel every time It's difficult to use it daily, so I recommend using it only on days when deep cleansing is needed, maybe once or twice a week? ⚡️The fragrance may be polarizing I'm originally a moringa fanatic, so I loved it, but I think people who dislike strong herbal scents may find it off-putting ⚡️The ingredients! I thought the ingredients would be great since they emphasize no animal testing and natural ingredients, but I was surprised when I looked at the ingredients 😭 ⚡️There is no Korean instructions. Who reads the instructions anyway, right? But if they are officially launching in Korea, I hope they would include Korean instructions as well
Tip⭐️There is a guide on YouTube by Emma Hardy on how to use the moringa cleansing balm - the key is to hold the skin with one hand and wipe with the towel in straight lines, not circular motions. The emphasis is on wiping outwards from the center of the face:) ⭐️As for the enclosed towel, it can be unclear where to store it after cleansing. I recommend hanging it on a clothes hanger to dry immediately after use, so it doesn't get dirty or leave marks anywhere.
