I love that it's mildly acidic.
ConsBeing a gel, it's a bit runny. You need to massage it in quickly. Other than that, it's good.

It cleanses effectively, and even in this season when I'm not wearing makeup, using just this leaves my skin feeling so hydrated!
ConsThe only downside is that the formula is quite runny, so it tends to drip easily. Other than that, I have no complaints!
TipI skip the cleansing water and go straight to washing with this cleansing gel! Highly recommended, it's fantastic!

It's perfect for summer. The cleansing effectiveness is impressive. I usually only wear sunscreen, and this cleanser removes it completely with just one wash. It's amazing! I've been searching for a powerful cleanser that eliminates the need for double cleansing, and this one fits the bill perfectly. There's no residue left after cleansing, which is great (assuming you're only wearing sunscreen and massage thoroughly). Despite not being oily, it actually removes dead skin cells better than cleansing emulsions. Post-cleanse, my skin feels smooth rather than squeaky clean, which is gentler on the skin. There's minimal deep dryness, and I experienced no blemishes.
ConsThe gel-like texture tends to drip when applied to the face. It was quite surprising how quickly it runs down!
TipWhile results may vary, I found that generously applying it to my nose and thoroughly massaging helps tackle whiteheads and blackheads, leaving the skin on my nose feeling soft and smooth.

But it felt like I was massaging a hydrating moisturizer all over my face. After about 30-40 seconds of gentle circular motions, I could feel my rough skin becoming incredibly soft. It's a unique cleansing experience - when rinsing, instead of that squeaky-clean feeling, my skin felt silky smooth and my complexion looked brighter. I'm still using it and loving it! I've tried many high-end, hyped-up products, but for the price and cleansing effectiveness, I highly recommend this. You should definitely give it a try!
ConsThe tube packaging is a bit problematic as the cap doesn't close properly, causing product leakage. Considering the gel texture, I wish they would switch to a semi-transparent or clear pump bottle. This would allow us to see the product inside and prevent spills.
TipHere's my routine: I massage it for about 2 minutes, then rinse as usual. Then I apply it again, leave it on like a mask for 3 minutes, and cleanse once more. I finish by generously spritzing with an oil-free mist.

The light blue packaging is sleek and adds a nice touch to bathroom decor. I love that it's semi-transparent, so you can see how much product is left. I was worried about friction without foam, but the slippery texture prevents any irritation. I tried it both with and without makeup. For makeup removal, it seemed to cleanse well, but I did a second cleanse just to be sure. For non-makeup days, it's perfect for a gentle morning cleanse that doesn't disrupt the skin's moisture barrier. After two weeks of use, I haven't experienced any blemishes, and my skin feels softer! If you're looking for a mild, non-irritating morning cleanser, I highly recommend this. It's especially suitable for those with super sensitive skin or combination dehydrated skin. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it!
ConsThe liquid consistency makes it prone to leaking when stored upright, which is a bit inconvenient. It's also easy to dispense too much product at once, making it hard to control the amount. It's such a waste when the excess product just runs off! While it's supposed to be unscented, there's a distinct smell that might be off-putting to some. I wish it was a bit more effective at removing excess oil, but it's still okay as is.
TipThis works better as a morning cleanser rather than an evening one. After cleansing, apply toner while your skin is still slightly damp! My current skincare routine is: After cleansing in the morning >> Dr.G Red Blemish Toner - Skin1004 Madeca100 Ampoule - Dr.G Red Blemish Soothing Cream. In the evening >> Puremellow Toner Pad - then the same as morning! For those dealing with blemishes, I highly recommend the Skin1004 ampoule and Dr.G soothing cream!! I've used about 6 bottles of the Skin1004 ampoule now! You should really give it a try! It's currently on sale on Hwahae for just 9,900 won per bottle...

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin condition before use: Sensitive combination dehydrated skin (with severe deep dryness) Whether it's due to the recent cold weather or wearing masks, I've been experiencing skin tightness from deep dryness after cleansing. If I don't apply skincare products quickly, dead skin cells form in areas with severe deep dryness. Also, my skin tends to develop blemishes when I use the wrong makeup or skincare products. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Positive aspects: Scent: Fragrance-free, recommended for those sensitive to scents Texture: Thicker than cleansing oil, similar to a soothing gel Usage: Suitable for first or second-step makeup removal, morning cleansing, or cleansing skin with only skincare products applied Especially good for evening cleansing on days without going out For combination dehydrated skin, which tends to be dry inside but oily in certain areas on the surface Acwell's Cleansing Gel effectively removes facial oils (sebum) and dirt without irritation Thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, elderflower extract, and skincare components Compared to previously used cleansing products There's less skin tightness and dryness immediately after cleansing Deep dryness also seems reduced Product: Appreciated the semi-transparent container Being able to visually check how much product is left Was surprisingly convenient during use Price: 18,000 won for 160ml Comparing with other brands' cleansing gel products AX** Cleanance 200ml 18,000 won PhysioX** DMT 150ml 24,000 won etc. Personally, I think the price is reasonable for the volume - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - While the effects and pros/cons of cleansing and skincare products can vary greatly from person to person Personally, during the period of using Acwell products The deep dryness I used to feel after cleansing definitely decreased The product description claims "41.82% hydration improvement after 1 use" I was satisfied with this "hydration improvement" aspect . . . . However, regarding repurchase... Initially, I strongly wanted to repurchase because it addressed deep dryness so well But later, due to skin blemishes that developed My desire to repurchase decreased (I've written about this in detail in the "Drawbacks - Blemishes" section) Still, since blemishes can be a case-by-case issue And differ from person to person I would recommend this product to those who haven't experienced blemishes before Those with combination dehydrated skin struggling with deep dryness And those with dry skin
ConsFirst, aspects that may divide opinions: Texture and feel: Cleansing gels seem to split opinions on texture and feel even among those around me Personally, I didn't mind it as I've used cleansing gels before But those who've only used cleansing foams might find it awkward at first Due to the lack of foam and slightly runny texture Those who enjoy the squeaky clean feeling of some cleansing foams Might dislike the feel of cleansing gels - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Drawbacks: Ingredients: PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate (A fatty acid derived from glycerin and coconut oil) It helps blend ingredients in the product And is said to soften skin and add shine However, this PEG ingredient Can clog pores and cause blemishes And may trigger skin allergies Those who prioritize ingredients should take note (It also contains PEG-10 in addition to PEG-7) Blemishes: Before discussing blemishes, let me clarify that, From February 2nd, when I received the Acwell pH Balancing Bubble Free product From the day of receipt until writing this review I stopped using masks or other cleansing products that could affect the review for The Hwahae Testers And didn't change any skincare products except for Acwell (I've been using these skincare products for a long time) However... From the day after I started using the product Blemishes that had been dormant for a while started appearing For the first 2-3 days, it wasn't severe or widespread So I thought it might be an adjustment period due to changing cleansing products and continued using it But as days passed... The few blemishes gradually increased Which started to worry me I can't attribute it to other products because... As mentioned earlier, I didn't use any masks For makeup, I only applied sunscreen on my skin except for eyes and lips, no other color cosmetics And there were no changes in skincare products except for the cleanser So I concluded that the Acwell product was likely the cause and stopped using it I suspect that some ingredients in the product might have been problematic for my skin, which had become more sensitive due to recent deep dryness (It's been about two days since I stopped using it and no new blemishes have appeared since then) If it weren't for the blemishes I would have considered it a holy grail for addressing deep dryness...disappointing Cleansing effectiveness: Gel-type cleansing products often lack sufficient cleansing power when used alone for makeup removal This product also fell short when used alone It seemed to remove sunscreen relatively well But when using Acwell Cleansing Gel on dark lipsticks or waterproof eyeliners There were cases where some residue remained on the skin However, it seems good for use as a morning cleanser or as a first or second-step makeup remover without any concerns
TipIt's not quite a pro tip, but... Regarding makeup residue and checking if it's being removed well, here's a tip I can offer: Personally, when removing makeup I first use cleansing water to remove lip and eye makeup Then I use Acwell Cleansing Gel all over my face as a second step During the second cleanse, I apply a generous amount of the Acwell product to my skin Then gently massage my face in circular motions Instead of rinsing with water right away I lightly wipe my entire face with a cotton pad (If your skin is feeling sensitive that day or if you have sensitive skin, slightly dampen the cotton pad before wiping off the gel) After that, I finish with a light rinse using water This way, you can see makeup residue, oils, or dirt on the cotton pad Allowing you to visually confirm if it's being cleaned well! ->Of course, this isn't recommended for those with very sensitive skin!

It was fascinating to use a bubble-free product for the first time in my life. True to its name, you just use it without any foam. 2. Low pH products suit me well, and this one caused no irritation, probably due to its gentle acidity. 3. The transparent packaging and clear contents inspired confidence. 4. It effortlessly removed sunscreen and even lip balm with rich oil content. 5. My sister, who has super sensitive skin, said she loved it because it didn't leave her skin feeling dry after use.
Cons1. I was completely taken aback by how runny it was, flowing like water. 2. Sadly, I spilled a lot on the floor, wasting the product. 3. It didn't completely remove all waterproof makeup.
TipWhen you first open the cap, make sure to cup your hand underneath... it flows down like water!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI received this product as part of The Hwahae Testers program! First off, the gel is transparent and not too sticky, which made for a pleasant application. I liked that it dispenses just the right amount each time, though I'm not sure how well it'll work when it's almost empty. The fragrance-free formula was a plus. It claims to balance pH and provide hydration, and I was satisfied that there was no deep dryness after use. I even felt a slight cooling sensation after cleansing. As someone with super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes after using it.
ConsI wouldn't recommend this to those who believe cleansing is only effective with bubbles, as this is a bubble-free product. One minor drawback is that due to its consistency, a bit tends to drip and stick around the opening after dispensing. While this might be unavoidable given the container design, a pump-type dispenser would have been preferable.
TipIf you're using this to remove makeup, make sure to use a separate lip and eye makeup remover! I recommend this for light cleansing in the morning or before bed at night.

It's so pretty! - This was my first time using a cleansing gel! I've always used cleansing foams before, but they often left traces of eye makeup behind, forcing me to double cleanse with a cleansing water. What a hassle! But as soon as I tried this cleansing gel, I was amazed. Just one wash and all my makeup was gone! It was so satisfying to see my makeup disappear so thoroughly. - One of the best things about this product is that it has relatively few harmful ingredients. Even when we use products that seem fine day-to-day, if they're full of bad ingredients, our skin slowly deteriorates and ages. - I loved how lightweight and gentle the formula is! Maybe it's because it's a gel and not a foam, but it felt as refreshing and light as washing with water.
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked... Although, when I first opened it, the gel gushed out as soon as I removed the cap. I was a bit disappointed, thinking 'Oh, so if the tube is upside down, all the gel will pour out like this.' But it only happened that first time. The next day when I used it, there was no leaking. Just be careful when you first open it!
