When used, it also provides a refreshing and pleasant feeling! When you dispense it into your hands and create lather, it produces a rich, abundant foam, which is great. It seems suitable for acne-prone or oily skin types! However, it may be too irritating for very sensitive skin, so I recommend alternating it with a mild acidic product.
ConsOn days when my skin is hypersensitive, I don't use it. It can be a bit irritating. And the bottle caps were defective on both bottles I purchased... They don't close properly.

Using it daily can be too irritating.
ConsThere seems to be no specific product. The oil-removing product appears to be a strong one. It feels like the moisture is evaporating.

When cleansing the uneven areas, it becomes smooth and refreshing~
ConsThere are not many significant downsides as it is for blackhead removal, and it would be great if it went on sale frequently. I'll stock up on it.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAll cosmetics are slightly acidic, with a pH of around 5.5. Only cleansing foams or soaps can use a mildly alkaline formula. This is because mildly alkaline cleansers are more effective at removing sebum, acne-causing bacteria, and dead skin cells. As they are rinsed off with water, the skin is quickly restored to its original state. Moreover, most people apply other cosmetic products after cleansing, and these are typically acidic. In conclusion, mildly alkaline cleansers are particularly beneficial for acne-prone and oily skin types, as they provide thorough cleansing without excessive drying. They also produce good lather and leave minimal tightness after use. The cleansing performance is excellent considering the cost-effectiveness.
ConsAlkalinity can be irritating if used morning and evening, as it can compromise the skin barrier, so those with normal or dry skin types should be cautious. The strong scent of Hwahae was appealing to me, but some may find it unpleasant.
TipEven if you have acne-prone skin, continuously using only alkaline deep cleansers (whether enzymatic face washes or Stridex Baha cleansing foams) can cause dryness and irritation to the skin. For daily mild cleansing, we recommend using a low-pH, gentle cleansing foam, and using the alkaline deep cleansers only 3-4 times a week for the health of your skin. :)

I used it as a secondary cleanse and for morning cleansing, and it cleanses thoroughly.
ConsThere's really nothing that comes to mind as a shortcoming. Haha.
TipWhile I'm not sure if it has a significant effect on acne, those who haven't had success with mildly acidic foams may want to try an alkaline one!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros💁🏻♀️Skin type: Dehydrated oily 👍🏻Cleansing power - The biggest advantage is the cleansing power! The finish is not overly squeaky-clean, but it rinses off nicely and leaves a refreshed feeling🩵🫶🏻. Compared to mild acidic foam cleansers, it definitely cleans the T-zone oil better, and I noticed a reduction in blackheads and pores, especially on my nose!!! 👍🏻Acne - After using it for more than 2 months, I felt that the frequency of small pimples coming up has decreased. ✅Texture - It's a dense, concentrated type that focuses on cleansing power rather than being overly rich.
ConsSome dryness, irritation - Although it's not to the point of cracking skin, those with very dry skin may still feel a lot of dryness. - When used morning and night every day, I felt like my skin barrier was breaking down :( Scent - It's not fragrant, but it's not unpleasant either :)
Tip❗️Very important❗️ 🌟I recommend using it once a day - Use a slightly acidic formula in the morning, and Stridex at night!👍🏻 - During 2 months, I tried using it twice a day for one week, but felt that my skin barrier was compromised, so I've been using it only once a day, either in the morning or evening, and it's been perfect for me🩵 🌟Highly recommend using a cleansing brush Squeeze out about 2/3 of the amount you normally use onto your palm, and quickly roll it with the cleansing brush - you'll get a super rich lather!🫧🫧 Cleansing with that lather reduces irritation and makes the whole process more comfortable! (The brush from Daiso works great) 🌟For oily or combination skin, the slightly acidic formula alone may not effectively remove excess oil and sebum, so I recommend using this product together with it.

The lather also forms very well and is nice. For those with sensitive skin, there may be a Hwahae feeling and a sense of irritation, but for me, although I felt some irritation at first, I'm now fine with it. I'm using my second bottle now and I think I'll keep using this product!
ConsAt first, I'm not sure why, but I had some troubles when using it. Now, it fits me really well and I'm using it very well.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae cleanser is great for combination skin. It's a good product to use when your skin is oily and your pores feel clogged. While Stridex is usually associated with pads, their cleanser is also quite good. I'm already on my 18th repurchase (buying 3 at a time each purchase). ✨ Texture It's a dense cream type, but becomes soft and lathers well when in contact with water. It's great for rolling over areas like the nose and chin where oil tends to build up. 🫧 Cleansing Power & Finish The cleansing power is quite effective, but without a tight or irritating feeling. After rinsing, the skin feels refined, allowing skincare products to absorb better. 📌 Additional Notes It's close to fragrance-free. Recommended if you like a rich, foaming cleanser. Contains BHA, so it's best to use only once a day on sensitive skin days.
ConsThere is nothing lacking - the fragrance, cleansing power, price, ingredients, and so on are all satisfactory.
TipStock up on items during the frequent Hwahae sales.
