I occasionally get laser treatments at the dermatologist, so I tend to avoid irritating cleansers. In that regard, this is a product I'm extremely satisfied with 👍 Soft lather with just one pump 👍 Skin feels moisturized and smooth after cleansing 👍 White heads come up naturally, and a gentle wipe with a cotton swab gradually makes the nose cleaner!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍 Seems specialized for morning cleansing Completes a bouncy skin without thick skincare!! But I use it in the evening too, and blackheads just pop right up, so it seems like a very appealing product!
Cons🤧....I don't like the fragrant scent since I prefer unscented products ㅋㅋ I guess it's different for everyone^^; Anyway, it has a nice scent but I feel healthier with unscented products ㅎㅎ 🤣 Slippery during cleansing? It feels like there's a film, so first-time users of this type of cleanser may find it awkward! But don't worry, it cleanses thoroughly!
TipAfter cleansing, remove the water and gently wipe the nose with a black cotton swab, not by squeezing the blackheads. It's amazing how the white sebum comes up! I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised!!! My pores look so clean!!!!

While the cleansing power is not extremely strong, I was satisfied that it does not irritate the skin too much. Many people say the scent is not great, but I found the artificial scent to be refreshing and not unpleasant. It's not a strong fragrance, and I actually quite liked the scent. Typically, cleansers are very strong at removing makeup, leaving the skin squeaky clean after use. However, this product is great as a morning cleanser, gently cleansing the skin without that tight, stripped feeling. After cleansing, the skin feels soft and supple, as if the product has effectively removed impurities and dead skin cells. When I used it without makeup, the product produced a good amount of lather. As for the downsides, I'll mention them below, but when using this to remove makeup, I felt that my base makeup was not completely removed. Even after cleansing and wiping with a pad, there were still some residues left behind. While it generally removes makeup well, there are times when I still notice some leftover product. (The last photo shows the pad after cleansing, where there seems to be some remaining makeup that was not fully removed.)
ConsI mentioned that I liked the fact that the cleansing power is not too strong and it's lightweight, but I actually see that as a downside for this product. When I used it to remove my makeup, I was really surprised - the product that lathered up so well in the morning suddenly lost all its foam as soon as it touched my makeup, and I ended up just washing with plain water. I didn't feel like I was actually cleansing at all. And because it turns into water, it just runs down my arms in streams, getting all over my sleeves. This may not be a big deal for some, but I really dislike this aspect. Initially, the product transforms into a foam-like texture when lathering, but as soon as it hits the makeup, it turns back into soapy water. After a few swipes, this soapy water mixes with the foundation, leaving an unpleasant, sticky feeling. I also found this product to be quite drying. It's marketed as being for oily skin, but even as someone with normal skin, I felt my skin was left very tight after cleansing. I can imagine it would be even more drying for those with dry skin. Lastly, the after-feel is not great. Even after rinsing 10 or more times, the slippery feeling doesn't go away. By the second or third use, it became so slippery that when I wiped my skin before it dried, the soapy water residue came off on the towel. I'd definitely recommend using a toner after cleansing with this product.
TipUse as little water as possible on your hands when applying this product, and gently roll it on your skin. 🙆 I would recommend this to: - Those looking for a lightweight morning cleanser - Those with sensitive skin or a lot of dead skin cells - Those seeking a low-irritation cleanser

This gently removes excess oil, so I just use the Neutrogena foaming gel cleanser for my morning cleansing! * It's a very gentle product: It's truly gentle!! There was no irritation or stinging at all. My skin didn't feel tight either, and it had a refreshing, moisturized finish. * The BHA cleanses away excess oil, impurities, and ultra-fine dust: With spring coming, my skin has been producing more oil than in winter, which worried me. On top of that, there's been a lot of fine dust and yellow dust, but this product's BHA cleanses away oil, impurities, and ultra-fine dust, which I'm really satisfied with:) * My skin feels so soft: After using it, my skin felt so soft and smooth!! I feel like this product really balances my skin's moisture and oil levels:) * The subtle fragrance is nice: I can't describe the exact scent, but it's a subtle, pleasant fragrance that doesn't have a strong like/dislike factor!! The formula is runny, and it doesn't produce a lot of thick lather. But since this is a cleansing product, not a makeup remover, that was fine with me!! If anything, the gentler lather made the cleansing feel even more soft and smooth:) The regular price is 17,500 won, which I think is a reasonable price.
Cons* The bottle is opaque: It's a shame that you can't see how much product is left, but the packaging is still pretty.
Tip* You have to rinse it off thoroughly several times!! The slippery, smooth feeling lingers until you've rinsed it all off. * It's not suitable for removing makeup!! I'd recommend this for normal to oily skin types for morning cleansing.

The foam is not too strong, so there is less skin irritation. It's a pump type, so the cleanliness is high, and I personally like the clean packaging. It doesn't feel strong, but gently glides and cleanses, so I think it's good for those who need it for a second cleanse. It doesn't feel squeaky clean, but rather leaves the surface smooth and tidy. I used to have an aversion to squeaky clean foam cleansers, so the moisturizing finish was good for me :)
ConsIt's good as a second cleansing foam! It doesn't completely cleanse makeup, so it's best to use an oil or cleanser for the first cleanse, and then use this to gently wash away the residue.
TipYou don't need to use a lot, as the foam lathers well, so pumping a small amount is also good 😁

My skin condition varies by season, and lately in this weather, even though it's a combination skin, it finishes cleanly without dryness! It seems to be great to use in the summer! The scent is also manageable.(Herbal scent...?) Tip) If you squeeze the cleanser into your hands, mix it with water, and make plenty of lather before using, the cleansing seems to work much better!
ConsI'm using it comfortably! Only the price is a bit...? It would be better if there were more discounts!!

I used this product both in the morning and evening. In the evening, I used it as a second cleanse after using a cleansing oil. The texture is transparent and watery, and it lathers up quite well even with a small amount. Since it doesn't remove makeup completely, it's suitable as a second cleansing step, and it also works well as a morning facial cleanser. The main positive is that it's gentle and non-irritating. I was worried it might be drying, but after using it, I felt a refreshing finish without any dryness. This is a great product for cleansing sebum-prone skin gently and refreshingly without any irritation.
ConsI'm not sure if it's effective for pore management or dealing with blemishes.

It is not too irritating and effectively resolves the greasy feeling with a moisturizing effect. ➡️Compared to the previous product I used, my skin feels more hydrated after cleansing and there is less of a dry, tight feeling. ➡️After hearing that just water cleansing in the morning is best, I felt that this product would be suitable for my oily skin type to use for my morning cleansing routine. The key features of this product are: ➡️Slightly acidic pH ➡️Good hydration ➡️Suitable for gentle morning cleansing
Cons➡️The lather is not very abundant. ➡️The formula itself is quite runny. While it's called a gel-to-foam, it feels more like a thin gel. ➡️It's good for a light morning cleanse, but may not be sufficient for a more thorough cleansing before bedtime. ➡️The scent is a personal preference, but I found it a bit disappointing. It has a somewhat generic, Neutrogena-like smell. The biggest downside for me is that the cleansing power feels a bit lacking, perhaps because I have very oily skin. I've recently developed an allergy and have been trying to identify the cause, so I haven't been able to use this product much. With my sensitive skin, using a new product has caused some small bumps to appear.
TipRecommended for a light morning cleanse Make sure to work up a good lather with water

Scrubs, AHA, and enzyme peels have been too irritating for me. However, the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Clarifying Micellar Gel Cleanser has been able to clear my whiteheads just by cleansing twice a day. The whiteheads around my nose have definitely decreased. Lately, I've had a lot of bumpy texture around my mouth and chin area, but using this product has made my skin smooth! It's marketed as a pore-refining cleanser for oily skin, but I'd recommend it for all skin types 👏🏻👏🏻 * Cleansing Power Even on days when I've worn sunscreen, the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Clarifying Micellar Gel Cleanser alone is sufficient. The gentle lather leaves my skin thoroughly cleansed. On makeup days, the combination of a cleansing balm and this micellar gel cleanser provides a perfect deep cleanse. * Hydration It has a nice, moderate level of hydration. As a dry and sensitive-skinned person, I don't feel any tightness after cleansing. * Gentleness It's very gentle. There's no irritation at all, and it's comfortable to use even on days when my face is flushed.
Cons* Fragrance I'm quite sensitive to fragrance in cosmetics, so I usually opt for fragrance-free products for my skincare routine. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Clarifying Micellar Gel Cleanser does have a very mild scent when lathered, and I think I would have preferred it to be completely unscented.
TipIn the morning, one pump is sufficient. On makeup days, use two pumps for a thorough second cleanse. This is an all-around great cleanser that the whole family can use :)

First, after using it for a week, the most important concern, which is skin irritation, did not occur. When purchasing a cleansing product, the most important thing to consider is whether it causes any pain when it gets into the eyes, and there was no pain. The fragrance was a faint floral scent, which was not unpleasant. These days, due to masks or fine dust, my face suddenly had excess oil, blemishes, dead skin, and sebum, and I had to deal with removing sebum and blemishes every day. When I first received the product, I only wanted to use it in the morning because there was no irritation, but after cleansing, it seemed to have helped manage the oil, dead skin, and sebum, so I used it consistently in the morning and evening for a week, and the task of removing sebum decreased, and my skin felt moisturized without any tightness. Tube-type cleansing products are often inconvenient to open the lid and can be unpleasant due to the possibility of contamination, so I don't use them often, but this product comes in a pump container, which was very convenient and nice.
ConsAt first, I thought the lathering wasn't enough, but after cleansing, my skin felt smooth, so that concern was gone.
TipI usually use different cleansing products in the morning and evening due to makeup, but this product doesn't leave my skin feeling tight, and the cleansing is effective, so it was fine to use it both in the morning and evening.

The ingredients weren't bad either, so I was able to use it with confidence. After makeup, it cleansed well when I washed my face! The volume is quite a lot too. Since it's in a squeeze type rather than a pump, it seems more hygienic.
ConsThe disappointing part is that using this doesn't make your skin better or anything, it's just a regular cleansing product.
TipIt's good to use with warm water, lather it up, and cleanse with a massaging motion
