I thought it might be good for a light morning cleanse. I wanted to try an enzyme cleanser! 1. Grain? Rice? That kind of scent The fragrance was a subtle soap scent with hints of rice powder. It's not overwhelming when cleansing, and if you're not particularly sensitive, it's almost like an unscented product with a very faint soap smell. It's not a polarizing scent, so I think anyone could use it comfortably. 2. Gentle ingredients for sensitive skin cleansing I bought this because my current foam cleanser doesn't have the best ingredients, so I thought I might switch if this one was good. I checked the ingredients on the Hwahae app. The ingredients are suitable even for sensitive skin, so I felt confident in my purchase. I think the formulation is relatively simple compared to other cleansers. In practice, it left my skin feeling more subdued and hydrated compared to my squeaky-clean foam cleanser.
Cons3. Not much foam! Since it's a powder type, I expected less foam than a regular cleanser, but it still produced a decent amount when I worked it up. However, if you enjoy cleansing with rich, creamy foam, this product might not be very appealing. 4. Cleansing effectiveness is about 2 out of 5. I'm not sure if it's because it's gentle or if that's just how it is. I felt it wasn't quite right for oily or combination skin. With my previous foam cleanser, I didn't feel like my skin was very oily the next morning after cleansing at night and applying skincare. With this one, I could feel oil on my forehead and nose bridge when I woke up. If you have very oily skin, you might find oil building up quickly if you only use this cleanser. 5. Surprisingly small size You won't be scooping out a ton of powder at once, so it might be okay, but I laughed when I first saw how small it was. It's about a hand span tall? The container is just slightly thicker than a glue stick. The price isn't exactly cheap either. And if you ask whether it was really good? Not really. It's just... average. I didn't feel like it cleaned off fine dust particularly well. When I used it alone, even after using an exfoliating toner, I could still see small specks of dirt around my nose, hairline, and eyebrows. Maybe it's because I have combination-oily skin... I found that cleansing wasn't sufficient with just this product, so I had to use a foam cleanser as well.
Tip6. It might be good for morning use, or on days when you're not wearing makeup, or for a light cleanse after using a wash-off mask. Since it doesn't foam much, it's best to use a gentler touch than usual when cleansing. It won't give you that squeaky-clean feeling anyway, and even though it's supposed to be a gentle type, those with acne-prone or super sensitive skin that can't handle much friction should cleanse very gently. Oily skin types might prefer their usual foam cleanser... It's barely passable for winter, but I couldn't use this in summer. I don't plan to repurchase. Remember, skincare is different for everyone, so take reviews as a reference only!

First off, the product's clean, white design perfectly matches its contents and really raised my expectations! Black barley is said to have 4 times the skin purifying power of regular barley! This made me think it'd be great for days with high air pollution. It's even supposed to remove 99% of fine dust particles~ This was my first time using a powder cleanser, and the texture is like... really fine sand? You can see little black specks throughout, which I assume is the black barley~ The scent isn't strong, just a subtle soapy fragrance! Following the instructions, I poured about a 100 won coin-sized amount into my palm, added water, and lathered it up. The foam wasn't as rich as my usual cleansing foam, but it was more abundant than I expected! I liked that the powder naturally exfoliated my skin as I massaged it in, giving a nice scrub effect. The powder dissolves completely as you work it in~ And the best part!!!! Usually after cleansing, my skin feels a bit tight and squeaky clean, but after using this product, my skin felt soft and smooth??? It wasn't dry at all, but felt hydrated. This was my favorite aspect!!! I'd recommend this to anyone who experiences tightness after washing their face~~
ConsThere weren't any major downsides, but if I had to pick one, it would be that the foam isn't super rich...???
