4. Will it Appeal to Men?
- It's recommendable to men who have tried cleansing gels before, and it might be good to promote it as a morning cleanser by emphasizing its gentle and mild properties. After actually using it, I felt that both the texture and its gentle nature perfectly fit the concept of a mild cleanser. However, it's tricky to recommend to men who prefer a squeaky clean feeling. This is because there's a phase during cleansing where it feels slippery, which might be difficult for them to tolerate.

1. First Impression of the Product
- When I saw it in photos, I didn't realize, but seeing it in person, I thought the product container design was quite unique. When I first saw the product's paper case, it made me wonder if it was a cleansing oil due to its slim and tall design. But unlike a typical cleansing oil, it's not cylindrical but in a tube form, which feels fresh? When I placed it next to other products in the bathroom, it surprisingly gave off a sophisticated vibe, so I'm very satisfied with its appearance.

2. Feeling During Cleansing
- The texture is an emulsion type. While it doesn't produce rich or dense foam, when you rub it on your face, it seems to transform into an oil-like texture? (More precisely, it felt like something slippery without foam that clings to the skin)

- Although the slippery feeling when rinsing was a bit uncomfortable, after rubbing a few times, it changes to a squeaky-clean texture. This was a clear difference from some existing low pH foams (or cleansing gels) that don't feel as cleansing. Also, after washing, I liked that it felt more refreshing compared to using a regular cleansing gel.

- Since there was no mention of a specific scent in the product name or description, I could accept that the product is unscented without much awkwardness.

3. Morning vs Evening Cleansing
- I wanted to use it not only for morning cleansing but also for evening cleansing. However, compared to regular foam cleansers, I still felt the desire to use something more squeaky clean for evening cleansing.

퍼스트 클렌저 퓨어 앤 모이스트

I'm using it effectively as my morning cleanser!

Given its low pH nature, the cleansing effectiveness isn't perfect. For deep cleansing, you might want to use a different product. Also, I'm not sure if it's just my tube, but it's quite difficult to squeeze out. You really have to press hard to get a small amount out. Despite that, I'm still using it well.

I'm considering repurchasing this product as I didn't encounter any major drawbacks while using it up! The best thing about this low pH product is that my skin doesn't feel tight after cleansing. It feels more like a cleansing cream than a foam cleanser. While it doesn't create dense, fluffy bubbles, its creamy texture is gentle on the skin without causing irritation. If you absolutely hate even a second of dryness, you'll likely love this cleansing product. It's a mild, non-drying, low pH cleansing cream that doesn't cause any irritation!

While it doesn't produce a lot of foam, which is slightly disappointing, the soft and smooth feeling during cleansing makes up for it, so it's not a major drawback.

This cream-type cleanser is incredibly gentle and effectively removes even color makeup without the need for a separate remover. Being a cream formula, it's non-irritating on the skin and leaves your face feeling moisturized without any tightness after cleansing.

Being a gentle cleanser, its cleansing effectiveness isn't very strong

So it might be best used as a second cleanse after another product, or for morning cleansing when you don't want to irritate your skin

Recommended for those with super sensitive skin or seeking a gentle cleanser

I appreciated that my skin felt moisturized after use, which is great because tightness after cleansing can make skin feel drier and worse

It has a unique thick, white cream texture - a first for me in cleansers

Doesn't produce a lot of foam, and the lather isn't very dense

Completely fragrance-free! I kept sniffing it expecting at least a slight scent, but it's truly unscented

It was a bit disappointing that it doesn't lather well on its own. I'll definitely need to use a foaming tool with this one.

Second Design First Cleanser Pure & Moist

Second Design is known for their cleansing oils and lip balms, so I had some trust in the brand already.

The cleansing foam I used is a low pH cleanser that uses amino acid-based surfactants, making it similar to the skin's natural pH.

Not only is it fragrance-free and colorant-free, but it also doesn't contain any concerning ingredients.

When I first used it, I was surprised because the texture was a bit like toothpaste! It was an unusual texture I hadn't seen before, so I found it a bit tricky to lather. I ended up using a bubble maker for cleansing.

Given its toothpaste-like consistency, I was worried it might dry out my skin. Fortunately, it turned out to be a gentle cleanser that left my skin feeling moisturized after use.

As it's designed for morning cleansing and second cleansing, those who wear sunscreen or heavy makeup might need to use a first cleanser beforehand.

There's not really anything to complain about, but for those with extremely dry skin, I'd recommend applying your skincare products immediately after cleansing.

First off, it absorbs really well! I could feel how incredibly gentle it was on my skin. And even though foam cleansers can sometimes leave your skin dry, I didn't experience any deep dryness or tightness afterwards!

Well... the downside is that I know all low pH cleansers tend to be less effective at removing makeup, and this cleanser is no exception. Since it's designed to be as gentle as possible on the skin, it doesn't remove color cosmetics as thoroughly. I always recommend using a cleansing water or makeup remover first, then following up with a low pH cleanser for your second cleanse.

These days, consumers are increasingly seeking vegan brands and gentle ingredients for their skin, so many companies are consistently developing low pH cleansers! Even the cleansers I used before were all low pH.

This First Cleanser doesn't create a bubbly lather when it touches water, but instead glides smoothly over your face like a silky soap. Even though my face is currently covered in blemishes, it didn't sting at all when I applied it to my skin. On top of that, I want to give it extra praise for not hurting even when it got into my eyes!

There's nothing particularly negative to say. I just wish they'd offer more buy-one-get-one-free deals or discounts so I could stock up!

As someone with sensitive, combination dehydrated skin, I've always struggled to find a gentle cleanser that works. Even low pH products can be harsh! I was a nomad in the world of mild cleansers until I stumbled upon this gem. It's amazing! Despite being low pH, the texture is incredibly rich and smooth. Unlike other brands I've tried, which had thin, gel-like consistencies and barely lathered, this one creates a luxurious foam that I absolutely love. It feels so gentle on my skin, cleansing without any irritation. After washing, my face feels hydrated without any tightness! It's perfect for a gentle morning cleanse and works well as a second cleanse in the evening, even with heavy makeup. This has definitely earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine!

Nothing particularly bad, it's quite decent. The cleansing effectiveness might be a bit weak. If you prefer a squeaky-clean feeling, you might not like this.

The texture is opaque and firm like an emulsion, without excessive foam. Although it's mildly acidic, it doesn't feel slippery but rather fresh and hydrating. It's not strong enough to remove makeup, but it's gentle and suitable as a morning cleanser without causing irritation.

Even if I tried really hard to find something negative, there's honestly nothing to criticize!

As someone with sensitive skin that not only feels tight but also breaks out when using regular cleansers instead of low pH ones, I was initially drawn to this product's gentle formulation. 

Unlike some low pH cleansers that can feel slippery, this one creates a rich, dense lather. When massaged onto the face, it doesn't drip off but rather clings to the skin, giving the impression of a more thorough cleanse!

I'm thrilled that it doesn't cause any blemishes and keeps my skin hydrated even after use. I definitely plan to repurchase this product.
