It was discontinued, but I heard they're planning a comeback in 2022 with redesigned packaging.

I hope it comes back soon! It's perfect for morning cleansing. The scent is lovely, and my skin feels moisturized and hydrated even after washing. To be honest, I'm not sure about its cleansing effectiveness, but I think it's just right for a morning routine.

허니 프로폴리스 클렌징 세럼

I can't really think of any downsides... not sure what to write here...

I've had this for a while now, and it seems gentle and effective!

It's a bit confusing because there's no foam and you don't wipe it off with a cotton pad, so it's hard to tell if it's really removing makeup effectively. Also, when I use an exfoliating toner afterwards, I sometimes see residue coming off.

It's super watery, just like runny nose mucus! I was surprised at first since I'd never used a serum-type cleansing product before. But you know how cleansing oils aren't great for oily skin, right? You should definitely use serum, water, or gel types like this instead!

Cleansing shouldn't be about scrubbing hard or causing physical irritation. It's best to cleanse gently, minimizing force, with lukewarm water for no more than a minute.
(Avoid cleansing tissues and exfoliating toners!)
I've heard it pairs well with Roire's Cica Acne Cleansing Foam!
Also, try using it with the self-lymphatic drainage method that Aori shared on YouTube!

While it's good that the cap doesn't open easily, I wish they'd reduce the strength a bit.
Also, please have sales more often!

1. Texture + Cleansing Performance
It truly has a lightweight, hydrating serum texture. While cleansing oils can feel heavy and overwhelming, and cleansing waters require cotton pads that might weaken the skin barrier (not to mention they drip when used with foam dispensers), and cleansing milks leave residue or have weaker cleansing power compared to oils, this product perfectly addresses all these drawbacks. It's incredibly comfortable and light to use. (Even on days when I wore stubborn mineral sunscreen that usually leaves my skin feeling unclean after intense cleansing, this serum transformed from clear to white as it removed everything!)
I believe this was Roire's first release, and it's not an exaggeration to say it revolutionized cleansing products! Since using this, I've lost interest in my previous cleansers and stopped considering switching to new ones.
It's perfect for mornings when just water doesn't feel enough, but you can't do a full evening routine, and it's ideal as a first cleanse in the evening when wearing makeup.

2. Ingredients
It's not just low-irritation, it's non-irritating and slightly acidic.
With honey, royal jelly, and propolis, it provides hydration, preventing that tight feeling even in the depths of winter. Plus, it's not one of those products that's so gentle you doubt its cleansing power. While products with good ingredients often have less pleasant scents, this one has a refreshing fragrance.

3. Packaging
As with all products, convenience is key! The bottle is sturdy and looks beautiful just sitting in the bathroom. The pump design makes it easy to use frequently.
It's not often said about cosmetics, but it looks even prettier in person than in photos!

I know it's not supposed to foam, but you need to pump out quite a bit to get enough product.

It's great for a quick morning cleanse. Removes basic makeup pretty well too. I love that it's gentle and non-irritating on my skin.

You can use it like a cleansing oil. I use it to massage my face - there's a great technique on Aollie's YouTube channel!

Being a serum type, it absorbs so quickly... I'm not sure if I'm using a cleansing serum or applying a regular serum. So I end up using quite a bit when massaging. Also, it doesn't lather. If you like bubbly foam, you might not enjoy this. It's hard to tell if it's actually cleansing or not. I just use it assuming it's doing its job.

I highly recommend this for morning cleansing! I used to feel icky with just water and overwhelmed by foam cleansers, so I tried egg soap. But after buying this, my dilemma was solved! It's perfect for a light morning cleanse. After rinsing, my skin feels hydrated and supple. I love the pump-top container - it's hygienic and easy to use. Some people complained about the small amount dispensed, but that might have been improved. For me, it comes out smoothly, and 3-4 pumps are plenty.

This would be perfect as a morning cleanser.

I'm not quite sure if it's cleaning thoroughly. However, the finish does feel refreshing.

I love how it's much lighter than cleansing oil. Plus, I can actually see my blackheads gradually diminishing. While it might feel like the cleansing effectiveness is a bit mild, that seems to be just a feeling - it's actually doing a great job at cleansing.

The formula doesn't produce much foam, so I wasn't sure if it effectively removed my makeup. The serum barely lathers, so I couldn't use it with my Foreo. When used together with a cleansing foam, it seems to remove all makeup though.

After cleansing, my skin felt hydrated without any dryness.

I can't really think of any downsides... I'd say the price is quite reasonable for what you get.

This works great as a first-step cleanser or morning cleanser. I have dry skin, and usually cleansing leaves my face feeling really tight. But with this cleanser, there was no tightness at all, and my skin felt wonderfully hydrated!

If you're looking for that squeaky-clean feeling, this might not be for you.

Doesn't feel tight on the skin. It's like an essence. The cleansing experience feels luxurious!

이후로도 경과를 지켜보며 트러블 유무나 특별한 피부상태 변화도 추가하도록 하겠습니다.

I'll continue to monitor and update on any blemishes or notable changes in skin condition.

My skin type: Combination dehydrated skin with oily tendencies, not severe acne-prone but occasional blemishes appear.

I understand this product is from a newly launched cosmetics brand by Kim Min-young, known by the nickname 'Aol(?)'.

The following information is from a YouTube video about this product:

- Slightly acidic
- Dermatologically tested, non-irritating
- EWG Green Grade (Environmental Working Group's safety rating for cosmetics)

The scent is a subtle honey fragrance. It's so light you need to put your nose close to the bottle opening to smell it. I appreciated that it's not an artificial scent.

March 4, 2020 (Wed) Used as first cleanse on face with only foundation.
- It has a non-foaming gel texture. Seeing the foundation residue running off, it seems to be removing makeup, but I can't say for sure without examining my skin closely.

March 13, 2020 (Fri) Previously, I used eye and lip remover as first cleanse, cleansing water as second, and cleansing foam as third. Not using cotton pads definitely feels less irritating on the skin. I hope more serum-type cleansing products are released. While it doesn't visibly improve skin or reduce small blemishes, I can feel it's less irritating.
