The skin becomes incredibly soft and smooth.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that the container's durability is weak. While the container is optimized for powder form, it would be better if the structure was made a bit sturdier.
TipBy adjusting the concentration, you can achieve your desired cleansing style. I add a bit more water to cleanse gently.

After cleansing, my skin felt bright and clear, with no residue left behind. Given the current concerns about fine dust, this seems like an ideal cleansing product to use.
ConsI'm not sure if the lack of lather is normal for enzyme cleansers, but I found that it didn't produce much foam, and the powder formula meant I ended up using too much at a time, which felt wasteful.
TipIf you roll this product over areas of concern, such as rough patches or enlarged pores, you can feel the texture starting to smooth out a bit.

When I use alkaline cleansers, my face often feels very tight and turns red. I tried the powder cleanser for the first time and the lather is great, it's gentle, and I really love it! The enzyme cleanser gently removes dead skin cells without causing any trouble or irritation to my skin. My skin definitely feels smoother. There are some granules, but they don't hurt my skin when I massage it. The powder format is also convenient to carry around, especially when traveling. It's lightweight and even if I spill it, being a powder, I can just brush it off. I think this cleanser would work well for most skin types. Since I have sensitive skin, I usually break out if there are any bad ingredients, but that didn't happen with this one. Please refer to the photo for the new product! It has a similar cleansing power to the Etude House Soonjung Mild pH Cleanser.
ConsThe only downside is that it's a bit tricky to dispense the right amount of powder. It's not a major issue, but it can be a little difficult to control the dosage. Also, since it's a powder, it can clump up if left in a humid place.
TipWhen I first received it, the powder container felt a bit empty, so I thought it might be defective, but apparently that's normal! Even though it's a light, mildly acidic formula, it has exfoliating properties, so it's better to use it two to three times a week rather than daily for the best results for your skin.

It gently cleanses the skin in the morning and does not strip too much moisture from the skin, which is great. It can remove fine dust, waste, and impurities all at once. Those who find it inconvenient can also use it in the evening.
ConsThe powder is not as fine as expected, and it takes some time to lather it up well for it to dissolve properly. The lather is not as voluminous as expected. Even those without acne may find their skin becoming sensitive due to the powder not dissolving well enough. It is not recommended for those with acne, but if you still want to try it, it is suitable only for occasional or quick morning cleansing. For the curious, it is recommended to test it out.

First of all, I was really surprised that it's a powder type, not the usual gel type. At first, I felt a bit uneasy about it, but as I used it, I found that the cleansing power is great and it doesn't seem to strip the moisture from my skin, which I liked even more! It also felt like a gentle scrub. Since it's an enzyme-based cleanser, my skin barrier seems to have strengthened, and the acne scars and blemishes are gradually fading, which I'm really pleased about!
ConsI'm really sorry, but I don't have anything bad to say... I'm at a loss for words ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
TipOn days when I've worn heavy makeup, I would sometimes mix this cleanser a bit with a mild, slightly acidic cleansing foam. I found that it helped cleanse my skin more thoroughly without being too harsh on it.

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.Pros+ The use of Haenam barley seems to have contributed to the savory grain-like aroma. I liked that it was not an artificial fragrance. + The cleansing power is good. It wipes off thoroughly and gently, with minimal tightness after cleansing. + I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it feels like a gentle cleansing experience :) The brown granules among the white powder seem to be the barley grains, which may also have an exfoliating effect.
Cons- With this powder type, proper amount control is crucial. Using too little results in insufficient lather, while using too much makes the product run out quickly. I also found this challenging. - When I dripped water and tried to create lather, if there was too much water, the lather would just flow away, and if there was too little, the powder would harden.;; You need to carefully adjust the right amount while using it.
Tip* Instead of not getting any lather at all, you should gently pat the powder a few times to get about the size of a 500 won coin worth of lather. Just add a small amount of water, just enough to submerge the powder slightly. That way, the lather will form well.

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.ProsThe scent and texture of the product reminds me a bit of doing the dishes or cleansing with barley water. As it dissolves in water, there's a similar wholesome, natural feel to it.
ConsThe product contains natural exfoliating ingredients, but it's not overly scrubbing. When lathered in water, there are still some gentle, grainy particles that provide a mild exfoliating effect when massaged on the face. It's not as intense as a dedicated scrub product. After cleansing with this and drying my face with a towel, I really appreciated the results. Unlike regular foaming cleansers that can strip the skin, leaving it tight and parched, this left my face feeling nicely moisturized. I'm very pleased with how it cleansed without over-drying. I received this as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but I plan to continue using it regularly going forward.
TipI tested the cleansing power of this product, and since I don't typically wear heavy makeup, I used an eyebrow pencil for the test. The results showed that it removed the makeup well. However, as someone who likes to thoroughly cleanse, even invisible residues, I would recommend this product as a second cleansing step, especially for those who wear more extensive makeup. In conclusion: This is a strong recommendation for those who prefer natural cosmetics and don't wear heavy makeup.

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.ProsAs a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, this is my first review. As a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I'll be honest in my writing! Using the powder-type cleansing product was a fun and fascinating experience for the first time! Given its innovative form, I was extremely satisfied with it❤️ After cleansing, my skin felt so refreshed, almost as if my skin was breathing❤️ I felt like the invisible dirt and bacteria were thoroughly washed away❤️ This is likely due to the ingredients like black barley extract, enzymes, rice powder, and walnut shell, which seem to effectively remove dead skin cells and impurities from every corner of my face. Most importantly, my skin tone appears brighter, which I'm really pleased about❤️
ConsWhen using it for the first time, I might have poured out too much, so the powder scattered a bit ㅠㅠ
TipI first cleansed my face with a cleansing water, and then did the powder cleansing. When dissolving the powder, using slightly warm water made the lather nice and fluffy, which looked really pretty😊

The fine dust absorption is good, and the scrub granules are very small, so I only used this as an evening cleanser and not for morning use. Now that I'm in my 30s and have dry skin, if I use a strong foam cleanser or second cleanser for morning cleansing as well, it definitely makes my skin feel more dry and tight. So in the morning, I usually just do a water cleanse. I recommend that those with dry skin use this enzyme cleanser only for evening cleansing. And for those with troubled skin, I really recommend the enzyme cleanser. When I was struggling with breakouts, I saw good results using the enzyme cleanser. Apparently, the enzymes are actually helpful for acne-causing bacteria and inflammation, so dermatologists also recommend enzyme cleansers.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but if I had to pick one thing, it would be the inconvenience caused by the powder type. When dissolving it, it would clump up into a lump, and then trying to rub it directly on the face to dissolve it took some time. Other than that issue with the dissolving process, I didn't have any other complaints, as the cleansing power and effectiveness of the product were good. Enzyme cleansers are generally more expensive than regular foam cleansers, but the price of this one wasn't overly burdensome. Overall, I was satisfied with the product. :-)
TipFor those with dry skin, I recommend just doing a water cleanse in the morning, and using this product as a second cleanse in the evening. That way, you can get the benefit of thoroughly cleansing away fine dust, without over-drying your skin from too much cleansing in the morning.
