There is absolutely no irritation and my skin feels so comfortable and great 🥹 I've been using it for about 7-8 months and have already used up a ton of bottles...? I use it a lot so the quantity gets used up quickly, but the price on the official website is affordable, and Olive Young almost always has a 1+1 promotion, so you can sometimes get 2 for around 16,000 won. Ah, if this gets discontinued, my skin will be ruined for real ㄹㅇㄹㅇ
ConsThere's nothing. Just use it up. There really isn't any. But if I had to pick, I'd say that if you use it morning and night, you'll find that you go through a bottle pretty quickly, more than you might expect.
TipThose with sensitive skin may be concerned about just using water cleansing, so you should try this!!

However, it's not super thick or heavy either, so you can still do a nice, hydrating rolling cleanse. I actually find this medium-consistency gel formula more convenient to use. Oh, and it's fragrance-free too!
ConsTo be honest, it doesn't rinse off super quickly, so I did have to rinse several times. But overall, the user experience wasn't bad.

When it changed from a pump to a tube, I couldn't find it at Olive Young at first and almost cried thinking it was discontinued. But thankfully, it came back in tube form! 1. No irritation... Even when my skin is so sensitive that water stings, this is still okay to use. I've gone through several tubes and have never had any issues with it. 2. Hydrating It's incredibly hydrating. My dry, atopic skin gets so bad that in winter, I only cleanse with this.
Cons1. At first, because it's 'bubble-free', you might feel like you haven't cleansed properly. But that's just a feeling - you get used to it. It's actually preserving your skin's protective barrier. 2. The cleansing power isn't super strong. It can remove sunscreen, but for anything more than that, one cleanse isn't enough... (Still, if you double cleanse with this, you can remove light makeup without needing a separate cleansing oil!) 3. The tube opening seems a bit large, so the product comes out too quickly. Could they maybe make the opening smaller?
TipThis product seems to have a lot of loyal users (like me). When it goes on sale at Olive Young, it often sells out quickly. So if there's a sale, it's best to visit a few stores on the first or second day and stock up. It doesn't go on sale very often.

It's really hydrating and easier to use than other strong cleansers, while still performing decently. It's not quite as effective as an oil cleanser, but it comes close. I use it a lot on days when I only wear sunscreen and can't be bothered with oil cleansing. The design is also very user-friendly.
ConsI wish it were a bit cheaper - that's my only hope. Other than that, no real complaints. I'd buy it again, especially if it goes on sale...

Honestly, while its cleansing effectiveness is not great, it's a true holy grail product when it comes to being 100% gentle. When I had allergic reactions, my skin became atopic and inflamed, this was the only cleanser I could use without pain. It's incredibly hydrating and soothing - it's so pure that it's practically zero irritation. The Hwahae Testers would approve!
ConsNo matter how many different preferences there are, the cleansing power is really... disappointing.
TipThis cleanser is perfect for those who tend to apply too much pressure when cleansing, those who need to remove residue from cleansing oils, those who can't break the double cleansing habit, and those with super sensitive skin. It's optimized for morning cleansing or as a second step in double cleansing, rather than for evening cleansing or makeup removal.

It's moisturizing yet rinses off to a fresh finish, making it perfect for year-round use. Even those with oily skin will find it comfortable, as it cleanses mildly and smoothly. It's effective enough to remove sunscreen, which many of us wear daily. I've found it also works well on light BB creams and foundations. For a thorough cleanse, follow up with a second cleansing step.
ConsIt would be great if a larger size was available. Also, this product is unscented, so if you prefer fragranced products, you might want to look for alternatives.
TipIt's gentle enough for daily use without stressing your skin.

It not only removes excess oil and impurities but also thoroughly cleanses makeup. As a low pH cleanser infused with skincare ingredients, it feels as moisturizing as washing with a serum from the moment you start cleansing. In the past, skincare began after washing, but nowadays, it starts right from the cleansing step. Thanks to this product, I can cleanse thoroughly while keeping my skin hydrated and gentle. It seems less irritating, making my skin feel more comfortable. These days, I believe that properly cleansing and balancing the skin is more important than elaborate skincare routines or makeup application. This is perfect for a daily cleansing routine!
ConsSince it's a daily-use item, please make it in a larger size. The current volume is insufficient.

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.ProsThe fragrance-free formula is incredibly gentle, making it perfect for my super sensitive skin! It's so mild that I wondered if I was just washing with water. The low pH cleanser has a water-like texture that flows smoothly. As someone whose skin turns snake-like in fall and winter, I experienced a whole new world with zero tightness after cleansing. It's truly amazing how this cleanses without any drying effect, unlike washing with plain water. The packaging design is clean, simple, and aesthetically pleasing with perfect color choices. I was planning to buy a new low pH cleanser for my second cleanse and bare face routine when I finished my current one, so the timing of trying this product through The Hwahae Testers was impeccable. I originally intended to try the Dokdo low pH cleanser, but I love this Acwell cleanser so much that I'll keep repurchasing it!
ConsThe only downside? That I didn't discover this sooner! There's honestly nothing to complain about with this product - I'm just disappointed in myself for not finding this holy grail item earlier.
TipSince the texture is truly water-like, be careful with the amount you dispense! Even if you use a bit more, it won't be an issue for your skin since it's a low pH formula that doesn't foam up, but it would be wasteful. When closing the cap, make sure to seal it properly as it can sometimes leave a small gap if not closed carefully. This cleanser is perfect for those struggling with low pH and extremely dry skin, and it's suitable for all skin types needing a cleansing foam. The packaging comes in a beautiful, clean shade between lavender and sky blue with a hint of green, making it a great gift option for boyfriends too. I highly recommend this for all ages and skin types!

I also have quite a few acne scars... I've been using this product consistently since February 3rd. This low pH cleanser is one I first tried a few years ago when it came in a pump bottle. The packaging may have changed, but the experience remains the same. My skin doesn't typically feel tight after cleansing, so I didn't notice any tightness with this either. However, I definitely felt my skin became more comfortable. I'm not a fan of squeaky clean feelings or foam cleansers, so I really like this one. After discovering this cleanser, I've tried various low pH products from different brands, but I keep coming back to this one! I'm even touched to have won it as part of The Hwahae Testers program - what perfect timing! While I can't say there's been a dramatic skin transformation, both in the past and now, I feel my skin becomes much calmer and more comfortable when using this product. Many people have also commented that my skin looks better. I'll definitely continue using it in the future.
ConsWhile it's effective enough to remove makeup on its own, I was using cleansing oil before winning this product as part of The Hwahae Testers program. So, I find it slightly lacking in terms of sebum and oil control.
TipI recommend using it as a second cleanse after cleansing oil.

I often struggle with extreme dryness between my eyes and around my nose, even needing medical treatment, but after using this product, the dryness has almost completely disappeared! The hydration is truly top-notch. It's especially great for morning use! When a cleansing foam feels too harsh and water alone isn't enough, this product cleanses thoroughly without irritating my skin. It's so convenient. I really love the texture! It rolls on the face so smoothly, and the feeling is just wonderful. I don't think I could go back to regular foam cleansers now - they'd probably irritate my super sensitive skin!
ConsIt's a bit lacking in cleansing effectiveness when it comes to removing makeup. Even after cleansing twice, I noticed some eye makeup residue left behind. It seems better suited for removing light makeup or sunscreen.
TipFor days when you're wearing makeup, I recommend first using a cleansing oil or water to remove makeup, then following up with this product as a second cleanse.
