I've been using this product for over a week now. My skin type is dry, and I occasionally get blemishes from shaving. I tried the Black Barley Enzyme Cleanser. This is my second powder-type cleanser. I previously used the Sidmool Enzyme Powder Cleanser, which I liked for its gentle feel and used about two bottles. Compared to Sidmool, Tony Moly's Black Barley seems to suit my skin better. To use it, I pour some powder into my hand and add a few drops of warm water - it dissolves well. I then work it into a lather and cleanse my face. If you don't dissolve it properly before cleansing, sensitive skin might become red from the powder's texture. The key to dissolving it well is using warm water and spreading the powder thinly and widely on your palm when dispensing. If you cup your hand and pour it in, it tends to clump and becomes harder to dissolve. While it doesn't create an abundance of foam, the post-cleanse feeling is surprisingly pleasant - my skin feels soft yet clean. It's not the excessive squeaky-clean feeling you get from cheap cleansing foams, but rather a comfortable clean that maintains the skin's moisture balance. It's like washing your face with clean rice water - a gentle cleanliness, if you will. I loved this softness when using Sidmool too, but I felt it was a bit irritating when used twice daily, so I didn't use it every day. In contrast, I can use the Tony Moly Black Barley daily without any irritation - it's very gentle. For those with very sensitive skin, using it every 2-3 days might be best. Although the container is small enough to fit in one hand, it lasts quite a long time. Being a powder cleanser, the quantity is by no means small. Those who have used it will understand.
ConsIt seems unavoidable with powder-type cleansers - unless they come up with a truly innovative container, the opening tends to get clogged with moisture from bathroom use. It might be fine if used in a dry area. It's not a major inconvenience, so it's still usable. For women, it might not have enough cleansing power as a second cleanser after removing makeup. It seems more suitable as a morning cleanser or for bare-faced cleansing. My wife also enjoys using it (though she rarely wears makeup).
