Pros
I've been using this for quite a while now. The Ogokdaebinu soap is quite famous, and it's easy to purchase from Daiso or Coupang, so I've stocked up on several. Compared to regular soap, it definitely does a better job at removing hand and body dead skin. It lathers up nicely and has a pleasant, unique soap scent.
Cons
I was surprised that the ingredients were quite poor. Using it does make my skin a bit dry.
Tip
Use a washcloth and lather it with body wash instead of scrubbing directly. That seems to be less irritating.

Pros
This soap is convenient as it easily removes dead skin without irritating the skin. I've been using it for years as it saves time and effort in scrubbing the body separately.
Cons
Among the Mugunghwa body soaps, the Ogok one has a scent that I don't particularly like. It has a baby powder-like fragrance, which is not what I expected from something called 'Ogok'.
Tip
Using this 2-3 times a week is all it takes to get rid of dead skin!^^♡

Pros
It's easy to find at grocery stores or drugstores, and it's affordable. It's convenient for daily use. It seems to remove dead skin cells better than most scrubs. Even though it contains grains, there's no grittiness at all - it's like using regular bar soap. Just scrubbing a few times in all the nooks and crannies removes dead skin well.
Cons
However, the lather doesn't seem to be as abundant as regular soap, so I have to use a lot of water and scrub multiple times when applying it all over my body.
Tip
I like to apply it to my loofah a few times, then mix it with my body wash and use them together. This way I can exfoliate and shower at the same time.

Pros
It feels very refreshing. The usage experience is incredibly smooth and soft. That's why my mom really likes it. The exfoliation is quite effective too.
Cons
It's extremely, extremely drying. Don't use it if you have dry skin, even as an oily-skinned person like me, I was shocked at how dry it left my skin after use. It seems like it should only be used in the summer.
Tip
It's drying and has exfoliating ingredients, so it's best to use it about once a week.

Pros
It's inexpensive, lathers well, and is gentle, so it's good for exfoliating.
Cons
The ingredients aren't that great, so it's probably not a good idea to use it too often.

Pros
✨Overcoming Back Acne✨ I've been dealing with back acne for n years.. So I searched on YouTube and was recommended the combination of ✨5-Grain Body Soap + Exfoliating Gloves✨... With summer approaching, conquering my back acne was a pressing concern, and the price was affordable, so I used it about 1-2 times a week (the rest of the time I used a regular body wash). The exfoliation really worked, and my back acne has definitely reduced!!! (Of course, I still need to overcome the remaining acne scars, but...) Since it's a soap, as long as you store it properly in places water doesn't reach, it can last for at least a year, making it extremely cost-effective.
Cons
Since it's a soap, I didn't thoroughly check the ingredients, and now I realize the ingredients aren't great... That's why I'm deducting one star for the ingredients...
Tip
I highly recommend the 5-Grain Body Soap + Exfoliating Gloves combination!! I have dry skin and don't sweat much, so dirt doesn't build up easily(?) on me, so I use it once a week. But if you're the opposite, using it 2-3 times a week is also fine (not daily). On the other other days, be sure to gently cleanse with a mild pH-balanced body wash and a shower puff!
