I've found my holy grail cleanser!!!! I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for this product. It deserves six stars if I could give them. Excellent cleansing effectiveness, no irritation, lathers well, great ingredients. I absolutely love it. In the past, I consistently used Origins Checks and Balances for over 6 years. Then, after checking the ingredients on Hwahae, I spent 3 years searching for a safer yet effective cleanser... While I found many decent cleansers, I couldn't settle on one and kept switching after using a bottle or two. If only I had known earlier that Physiogel was a gem for cleansers! 1. Cleansing Effectiveness As someone who always double cleanses when wearing makeup, I didn't buy this for its makeup removal properties. However, it thoroughly cleanses morning and evening oil and fine dust from my face. (On a day with terrible air pollution, I tried wiping my face with a cleansing pad after washing, and nothing came off) 2. Mildly Acidic Without Residue I really love how it leaves my skin feeling fresh without any slippery residue after cleansing. Many mildly acidic products left an uncomfortable film, but Physiogel nailed it. The finish is clean and crisp. 3. No Tightness None whatsoever. There was a time when I couldn't apply my skincare for about 10 minutes after cleansing, and I almost forgot I hadn't moisturized because I felt no tightness. I believe this product helps maintain hydration. 4. Scent There is a slight fragrance, but it's subtle and not bothersome. It was fine for me, though I can't quite place what the scent is...haha Overall All I can say is I need to stock up on two or three bottles when it's on sale. This is my holy grail cleanser!
Cons1. As it's a runny gel type, it flows easily from the tube container. I'm always careful not to squeeze out too much, but it would be nice if the packaging could be improved a bit. 2. It lathers well, but requires a good amount of water to do so. If you don't get the water balance right, the lather might not be as rich or may dissipate quickly. I got the hang of it after using it a few times.
TipWhen wearing full makeup, it's always best to double cleanse. This isn't a dedicated makeup remover, so it doesn't have that level of cleansing power. While I've confirmed it removes most lip products, I'm not certain about its effectiveness in completely removing foundation.

But wow, after 1-2 weeks of use, my skin improved dramatically! I couldn't find it on Hwahae, so I requested to add it after checking the ingredients list - which turned out to be great! I immediately bought it again, but honestly, my skin texture hasn't improved as much as that first time. You know how new skincare products often show dramatic effects in the first week? It was probably just that. Still, it's genuinely gentle and mild, which I love. It's gentle enough for morning cleansing, and when used as a second cleanser after oil cleansing at night, it removes any residue perfectly. I'll definitely repurchase!
ConsThe tube packaging is identical to the DMT cream, so the opening is quite large. Since it's a gel, it flows quite easily, meaning you have to open it sideways and squeeze gently. Otherwise, too much comes out. The packaging is a bit disappointing. I don't mind the tube format, but I wish they'd make the opening smaller.
TipIt doesn't lather much, so make sure to use warm water when applying it.

That's why I recommend it for those with dry skin. I don't have dry skin, but rather combination dehydrated skin, and I loved how gently it cleansed! The cleansing effectiveness is moderate to low, but it's great for a gentle first cleanse. Not recommended for removing heavy makeup, but perfect for cleansing when you've only applied sunscreen or a light layer of cushion foundation or BB cream.
ConsThe smell is awful! I'm usually not sensitive to scents and can tolerate fragrances that others find unpleasant, but wow, this one... People with sensitive stomachs might actually gag. I hold my breath when using this! The packaging is also inappropriate. The texture is somewhat runny, so a pump bottle would be more suitable. It's a bit inconvenient to use as is.
TipGiven its runny texture, I recommend squeezing out enough product for your whole face onto one palm, then using your fingers to dot it around your face before massaging it in. As you can see from the ingredients, it's very gentle! No blemishes either. So despite the terrible scent, I'm considering repurchasing. I deducted one star because of the scent and inconvenient usage.
