It's a cleanser that's neither water, oil, nor gel, which is why I described it this way. I wondered if this was the linguistic challenge in describing a new product called 'cleansing serum'. I typically dislike cleansers that don't leave my skin feeling squeaky clean. However, as I used this cleansing serum daily, which comforts the skin differently from a cleansing gel, I found myself gradually warming up to it. I began to appreciate how much thought the developers put into creating this 'serum' concept for cleansing. While I'm washing my face with my hands, there's this not-unpleasant dissonance, as if I'm applying skincare rather than cleansing. This first encounter with a cleansing 'serum' was such an intense experience that I can only describe it as an 'out-of-this-world cleanser' rather than just another cleanser in this world.
ConsThe product has a serum-like texture with a subtle soap scent, and it produces slightly less foam than a cleansing gel. When cleansing, it doesn't give that squeaky-clean feeling, rather it feels less thorough. It's different from the slippery sensation of a cleansing gel. This feeling of not being squeaky clean but leaving a soft touch (not slippery!) without being slick...

That's why I can use it for my morning cleanse without any worries. I love how my skin doesn't feel tight after washing - it's so comfortable!
ConsPersonally, I prefer subtle fragrances, so I find the scent a bit too strong for my liking. That's slightly disappointing.
TipFor best results, use slightly warm water and massage it in circular motions. It rinses off smoothly and effectively this way.

Since getting this product, I've been using it for cleansing everything except eye makeup. At first, I was a bit unsure, so I followed up with a wipe, but nothing came off! It's that effective at cleansing while being gentler on the skin! I typically have sensitive, dry skin that's prone to irritation. However, after two weeks of use, I didn't experience any irritation or dryness! You can really feel the quality of the ingredients. The post-cleanse dryness I used to feel has disappeared. I think this would be great for anyone with dry or super sensitive skin! I like to create a lot of foam when cleansing. As the product description suggests, when I'm not wearing makeup, I use a little water to create a lather. While it doesn't produce an enormous amount of foam, it's sufficient. The texture is fluid but feels slightly rich.
ConsIf I had to point out one drawback, it would be the scent. It has a slight soapy bubble fragrance. I don't think it would bother most people unless they're extremely sensitive to fragrances. Personally, it didn't bother me much.
TipWhen cleansing, try massaging it onto your face without water first - it removes makeup well this way! Afterwards, I like to do a second cleanse with water.

I must say, it's been quite impressive! Since I don't wear makeup, I can't speak to how well it removes cosmetics, but it worked great after applying sunscreen. The hydration power is truly remarkable - after cleansing, my skin feels moisturized and incredibly soft. It's noticeably different from other products I've used. The hydration is absolutely top-notch...
ConsThe only downside is the scent. It's a bit... odd? There's a slightly chemical smell, almost like detergent. While the fragrance isn't ideal, it's not so overwhelming that I can't use the product. It's very faint, and aside from that, everything else about it is great!

It's also extremely sensitive - even sheet masks can sting when my skin's not in good condition, so I can't use them sometimes. Due to lack of hydration, my skin feels incredibly tight after cleansing, but then gets oily again by morning. *Ingredients The best thing about using this product is that the ingredients are so gentle that even my sensitive skin had no adverse reactions. This really deserves praise! *Cleansing Effectiveness I've read some reviews saying the cleansing power is a bit weak, but personally, I think it's impressive for such a gentle product. Plus, I always do a double or triple cleanse, so it wasn't a concern for me. *Post-Cleanse Skin Texture I usually prefer a squeaky-clean feel after washing (admittedly not a good habit), but this product left my skin feeling smooth rather than squeaky. Surprisingly, I really liked it! I might even repurchase after finishing this bottle. **Additional Note I almost forgot the most crucial point! The most important thing: how my skin feels after cleansing! The moisturized feeling lasts for quite a while after washing! Even though my skin still gets tight eventually, for someone like me, this level of hydration is impressive. If you don't have extremely dry skin, you'll likely find it very moisturizing!
Cons*Scent Personally, the scent reminds me of plastic or detergent, which might be polarizing. I actually don't mind it (I tend to like 'unhealthy' smells like marker ink or car oil), but my sister and mother weren't fans. However, it wasn't bad enough to make it unusable. *Lather It really doesn't lather well.
TipFor this review, I used it with my hands for about three days, then switched to my Foreo device. With the device, it lathered well and cleansed thoroughly even without double or triple cleansing. I highly recommend using a cleansing device with this! (To be honest, there wasn't a noticeable difference between using hands and the device, but using the device just makes me feel better!)

It felt less irritating on my skin. The foam lathers up quite well.
ConsScent: Other reviews mentioned it was unscented, but maybe because this was my first time using a serum-type cleanser, I honestly didn't like it. If you've ever smelled surfactants, it's kind of like that? First-time users might find it uncomfortable.
TipThis was my first time using a serum cleanser, so I was curious if it would feel more like a foam or an oil. It's actually a foam type. You work it into a lather and apply it to your face. I think using a foam maker, like the ones you can get at Daiso, would probably create an even better lather.

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.ProsThis is my first time using a cleansing serum. The cleansing effectiveness and texture are great! I feel a bit wistful thinking it would have been even more satisfying if I had used it when my skin was more resilient, but it still exceeds my expectations. Although I only used it about 4 times due to late delivery, my super sensitive skin usually reacts quickly - either immediately or by the next morning. Fortunately, it didn't irritate my sensitive skin, which was a relief!
ConsI'm used to products with almost no fragrance, including cleansers, so this one felt particularly strong to me. However, since I tend not to breathe much while washing my face, it wasn't a major concern for me!
TipThese days, with mask-wearing, I prefer lighter makeup or just brightening moisturizer, so finishing with a single cleanse seems better. I've only used gentle, low pH cleansers, so I don't typically go for that squeaky-clean feeling. Keep that in mind!

First off, what I loved most was how gentle it is. Not only did it not cause any blemishes, but it actually helped calm and reduce existing ones - I'm so thrilled! My skin seems to be improving lately. Secondly, I was worried that since it's not a foam type, it might not lather well and could irritate my skin. But surprisingly, even though it's a serum type, it lathers amazingly well. It allowed for a very mild cleanse. Thirdly, I appreciated that it's a low pH product and the pump packaging made it convenient to use. Lastly, my skin felt less dry after cleansing compared to other cleansers! Even in the dead of winter, I was shocked at how much less drying it was than other products I've used! I highly recommend this product for those with combination dehydrated and super sensitive skin. It feels like I've finally found a cleanser that I really like after such a long time!
ConsThere's not much to complain about. The volume is generous and the product performance is good! The scent is very minimal, so I don't think it will be polarizing.

Effective cleansing power - As a product marketed as an all-in-one cleanser, it really delivers on cleansing effectiveness! I've attached a photo below of a long-lasting lip tint, which understandably didn't come off completely, but it easily removed regular foundation and eyeshadow. 2. Pump dispenser - The product comes in a convenient pump bottle, making it easy to use. One pump is usually enough to cleanse your entire face! 3. Doesn't cause blemishes - I have super sensitive skin and often break out when using the wrong cleanser, but this product didn't cause any irritation! If you're worried about your sensitive skin, this might be a good option for you.
Cons1. Scent - The fragrance is somewhat reminiscent of detergent or disinfectant. In my opinion, it's not the most pleasant scent. 2. Slight dryness - One of my family members with extremely dry skin found this product a bit drying. If you have severely dry skin, you might want to keep this in mind.
TipAll-in-one cleansing solution! No worries about skin irritation!

I received the delivery on the 24th! It felt like an early Christmas present. This was my first time trying a cleansing serum, so I was quite excited. I've been using it since then, and here's my honest review! • Texture: It's not too runny, but not too thick either! When pumped onto your hand, it slowly drips if you tilt your palm. • Ingredients: Free from 20 harmful ingredients and packed with moisturizing components, so it feels quite hydrating! • Price: 220ml / 24,000 won • The most important part - Cleansing! Due to the ongoing pandemic, I rarely go out and don't wear makeup often, so I haven't used cleansing oil in a while. I only use oil when there's a buildup of sebum or when I need to go out. When this product arrived, my face had some sebum buildup! The product description suggests applying the serum to dry skin, then adding water to create a lather before rinsing. I thought it might work like a combination of cleansing oil and foam. So, I was curious to see how well it would dissolve sebum and tried it right away! The result was... a bit disappointing. It didn't remove sebum as effectively as I'd hoped. There was hardly any dissolved sebum, which was a letdown. Despite this, I added water, lathered it up, and massaged it in before rinsing. Usually, when sebum isn't removed properly, your skin feels a bit rough. But surprisingly, my cheeks felt smooth! Although areas with more whiteheads like the nose and forehead were still a bit disappointing. Still, when I added water and lathered it up, I did feel like it was removing sebum during that process! I also tried it on a day when I wore makeup! I liked that it didn't sting my eyes when it got in them. I usually only wear sunscreen for base makeup, so I didn't double cleanse and just used this. It seemed to cleanse well without leaving any residue! • Feel on the skin: It's hydrating! After cleansing with this product, I don't feel the need to immediately apply toner as it doesn't feel dry for a while! It doesn't strip moisture, which I really liked. I've been using it for about two weeks without any blemishes, so I'm quite satisfied!
ConsThe scent... the strong detergent-like smell is too overpowering. Also, it's disappointing that it doesn't create a rich lather. Another downside is that it doesn't remove sebum as effectively as I had hoped.
TipWhile it's not exactly a pro tip, it works really well as a morning cleanser too!
