I also thought it would be good to use lightly in the morning! I wanted to try an enzyme cleansing product ㅎㅎ!! 1. Grain? Rice? That kind of fragrance The fragrance was a subtle soap scent like rice powder. It's not an overbearing smell when cleansing, and if you're not particularly sensitive, it's almost like it has no fragrance at all. It's a scent that won't divide opinions, so anyone can use it comfortably. 2. Mild cleansing formula I bought this because the foam cleanser I was using didn't have the best ingredients. So I checked the ingredients on the Hwahae app and felt reassured that it has mild components that even sensitive skin types can use easily. I'd say the ingredient combination is relatively simple compared to other cleansers. In practice, the finish was more subdued and moisturizing compared to typical foaming cleansers.
Cons3. The amount of foam is low! I expected less foam since it's a powder type, but there was still some lather when I rubbed it. However, if you prefer a rich, creamy lather, this product may not be that appealing. 4. Cleansing power is around 2 out of 5. I'm not sure if it's because of the mild formula or if that's just how it is, but I felt this cleanser wasn't quite suitable for oily or combination skin types. After using my previous foaming cleanser and doing my skincare routine at night, I didn't feel as oily the next morning. But with this one, I could feel the oil coming back on my forehead and nose area right after cleansing. Those with very oily skin may find their skin gets greasy again quickly when using this alone. 5. The size is much smaller than expected It might be okay since you don't need to scoop out a large amount at once, but I still chuckled when I first saw how small the size is. It's about a hand's width tall and just slightly thicker than a pen. It's not extremely cheap either. And I can't say this product is amazing either. It's just average... I didn't feel like it effectively removed fine dust and impurities. When I used it alone, I could still see some small particles and dust left around my nose, hairline, and brows. Maybe it's because of my combination skin, but I had to use a foaming cleanser as well to feel properly cleansed.
Tip6. It seems good to use in the morning. Or on days when you're not wearing makeup, or as a light cleanse after a wash-off pack. Since the foam is lacking, it's better to cleanse gently without much pressure. Even though the irritation level is low since it doesn't provide a deep cleanse, those with acne-prone or very sensitive skin should still cleanse gently. For oily skin types, your regular foaming cleanser is likely still better... It was just about okay to use during the winter, but I don't think I could use it in the summer. I also don't have much intention to repurchase. Skincare is very individual, so take reviews as just a reference!

I have a slightly dry combination skin with sensitive skin.) 🌱First, the product's appearance was so neat and white in design that it matched the product well and raised my expectations. 🌱It is said that black barley has 4 times higher skin cleansing and care effects than regular barley!!! So I thought it would be great to use it especially on days with a lot of fine dust. It is said to remove 99% of fine dust as well~ 🌱This was my first time using a powder cleanser, and the particles are really fine sand??? or granules. There are black powder bits visible in between, which I think are the black barley~ The scent is not strong, just a mild soap scent?? 🌱As instructed, I poured an amount the size of a 100 won coin into my palm, wetted it with water, and created a lather to use, and the lather wasn't as dense and rich as my usual cleansing foam, but it was still reasonably bubbly, not as sparse as I had expected. 🌱As it's a powder cleanser, the powder naturally rolls on the skin, providing a scrubbing effect, which I liked 🤩 As you roll it, the powder dissolves nicely~ 🌱And the best part!!!! After cleansing, usually my skin feels a bit tight and squeaky, but after using this product, my skin felt so smooth and moisturized, not dry at all. This was the best part for me!!! I'd recommend this to those who experience tightness after cleansing ~~
ConsThe only downside I can think of is that the lather isn't as dense and rich...
