The overall design is clean and appealing. - I typically use low pH products as they suit my skin well, so I was pleased to find that this hand wash is also low pH, just like the foam cleanser I use. Product experience: - Compared to my previous hand wash which had a very dense, whipped cream-like foam, this one has a slightly grainier texture. The bubbles are less compact, which I actually prefer. My old product sometimes felt like the foam was rolling around on my hands, but this one has just the right consistency for comfortable hand washing. - Being fragrance-free, it doesn't have a distinct scent, but there's a slight bubble soap smell. It reminds me a bit of dish soap, but it's not overpowering and quite tolerable. - After washing, my hands don't feel squeaky clean like with some soaps, but instead have a nice balance that seems to maintain skin's moisture. I really like this aspect.
ConsRoom for improvement: - I didn't find any issues with the product's performance. The only slight inconvenience was that the foam doesn't rinse away easily from the sink, requiring a few extra rinses to completely clear it.
TipPro tip: - Since it's fragrance-free, it's great to keep in the kitchen for use while cooking when your hands get dirty. It's perfect for light use in the kitchen.

Given the current situation, we need to wash our hands multiple times a day, and this product doesn't easily dry out the skin even with frequent use. I like that the amount dispensed in one pump (first photo) is just right for a single hand wash, avoiding waste. While the foam isn't extremely rich, it feels sufficient when rubbing your hands together - neither too much nor too little. Additionally, the container allows you to see how much product is left (second photo), making it easy to gauge when you'll need to buy more. Unlike bar soap, foam cleansers are usually stored upright and pumped as needed, so it's typically hard to estimate the remaining amount without picking up and shaking the bottle. I hope they'll offer refill products separately in the future.
Cons- Leaves a slippery residue Whether it's due to moisturizing ingredients or its slightly acidic nature, there's a slippery feeling left on the skin after use. This residue is especially noticeable on the back of the hand and between fingers where there are fewer wrinkles and fingerprints. Those unfamiliar with slightly acidic products or those who prefer a squeaky-clean feeling might not be satisfied with this. Due to this slippery residue, it's not suitable as a kitchen hand soap. While this product doesn't seem to be positioned as a kitchen product, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone considering using it in the kitchen. Kitchen foam cleansers need to remove oil and food odors from hands, but the Barista Hand Wash's characteristic slipperiness and lack of fragrance make it unsuitable for this purpose. I actually tried washing my hands with this product after handling kimchi and seafood with bare hands, and it didn't completely eliminate the odors.
TipFor those who use scented hand creams separately, using an unscented product like this allows you to maintain the original fragrance of your hand cream without mixing scents. Also, having a foam cleanser like this in guest bathrooms or areas frequently visited by outsiders can provide a cleaner experience compared to bar soap.

The rich, soft lather makes hand washing a pleasant experience. Personally, I prefer unscented products, so I appreciate that this one has almost no fragrance. I also love the quality ingredients and the clean, minimalist design.
ConsIf you're someone who enjoys that squeaky-clean feeling, this might not be for you. It leaves a slightly slippery sensation after rinsing. This is probably due to its mildly acidic nature, which is unavoidable for this type of product.
TipThe lather is so abundant that a single pump is more than enough for a thorough cleanse.

I love that it's fragrance-free and lathers well. Unlike other hand washes, this one leaves my hands feeling moisturized after use. It's ideal for seasonal transitions when skin tends to be more delicate. I highly recommend everyone give it a try!
ConsI honestly can't find any downsides to this hand wash. I've always just used whatever hand soap I could find, but this one stands out as the best I've ever tried. If I had to nitpick, I suppose it would be nice if it had a slight scent, but that's really stretching it.
TipRemember to wash your hands thoroughly, everyone!

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.ProsJuly 22, 2022 - First Impression Review Quick summary: A mild and gentle low pH hand wash Scent: True to its fragrance-free claim, this product contains no artificial fragrances. There's a very faint hint of the typical surfactant smell if you pay close attention, but it's negligible. For all intents and purposes, it can be considered unscented. pH and texture: Being a low pH product, it has that characteristic mild feel with soft, velvety foam. While alkaline products tend to feel 'squeaky clean', low pH ones have more of a smooth, supple sensation. The foam dispenser ensures rich, abundant lather (unlike some liquid low pH cleansers that might not foam as well when mixed with water). *** While I usually prefer low pH products for face and body, I hadn't specifically sought them out for hand washes before. Hands tend to get dirtier and need to combat more germs, viruses, and grime, so I typically go for stronger cleansing power. However, alkaline products can be more drying, so a low pH option is great for frequent hand washers or when your hands aren't excessively dirty. As someone who washes their hands often and suffers from dry skin, I've found that bar soaps are the most drying, followed by liquid soaps, then foam soaps. This low pH hand wash feels even milder and less drying than alkaline foam soaps. Cleansing power: It's hard to visually assess how well it removes invisible germs and viruses. While I can't definitively comment on its effectiveness, it seems satisfactory. For heavily soiled hands, I'd still reach for a stronger cleanser. But for routine hourly washes, this is perfect - it cleanses without drying out your skin. Don't expect an intense, squeaky clean feel. Instead, appreciate it as a 'gentle, hydration-friendly hand wash for frequent use'. In that regard, it's excellent. The dispenser works well, producing a good amount of foam. Overall, I'm satisfied.
ConsThere aren't really any downsides to mention. I wanted to write a more detailed review, but it's essentially the epitome of an inoffensive, unremarkable product. There's nothing to complain about - it's just a solid, satisfactory hand wash.
TipWhile there are no standout features, this is an excellent choice for frequent hand washers or those with dry skin. I'll update if I have more to add after extended use.

This product, however, is unscented, making it less overwhelming. I love that it doesn't clash with the scent of my hand cream when applied. Gentle lather The foam is soft and dense, causing no irritation while washing. Being slightly acidic, it's gentle on the skin of my hands. Simple packaging I appreciate the clean, no-frills design of the container.
ConsThere's a slightly slippery feeling when rinsing with water, so you need to keep checking while washing. However, this is because it's so soft and hydrating. If you're looking for a non-irritating hand wash, this product is worth trying.

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.ProsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, here's my review after using this product for two weeks: Scent: It's practically fragrance-free. Even when I used it and sniffed closely right after, I could barely detect anything. If you really concentrate, you might catch a faint medicinal scent, but you'd have to practically bury your nose in your hand. So, it's fair to consider it unscented. Texture: Likely due to its low pH, the consistency is quite soft when squeezed onto your hand. Instead of dense, tiny bubbles, you get loose, airy foam. It's not rich or elastic, but that's just about the texture. The amount dispensed per pump is perfect, and it cleanses effectively. Packaging: The transparent bottle makes it easy to gauge how much product you've used. Experience: I was genuinely surprised by this product. I had developed eczema on my hands from frequent washing. After using soap or doing dishes, the affected areas would become hot, itchy, painful, and swollen. It was a nightmare. With my atopic skin, I always had to apply emulsion right after washing. Hand cream was such a necessity that it was a common birthday gift for me. But with this hand wash, I noticed I could use it frequently without pain. Even after drying, my hands didn't feel parched for a while. I often wash my hands 2-3 times when showering, applying various body products and hair essences. This is the first hand wash that didn't irritate my eczema during this process. Other products left my hands feeling like they might crack even after applying emulsion 2-3 times. But with this, the hydration is so good that I sometimes forget to apply emulsion afterward. I've switched to low pH products for shampoo and facial cleansers, but I never thought to change my hand wash, which I use most frequently. Thanks to this product, I've discovered something great. I think I'll be loyal to this from now on. Thank you for sending two bottles - I'll be able to use it generously!
ConsThere's nothing to complain about, so why do I have to write something here? Even the periods don't count towards the character limit...

As a mildly acidic formula, it's gentle yet not overly slippery, providing just the right amount of acidity for a handwash. ✔️The fragrance-free aspect is truly the best part! I love perfumes and spray them daily, but I dislike when the scents mix. I even avoided using hand creams because of this, but now that the handwash is also fragrance-free, I can fully enjoy the perfume scent on the days I wear it. It's just perfect! ❤️ ✔️After washing my hands, my skin feels moisturized without any tightness or dryness.
ConsThere was absolutely nothing. (It's really hard to fill 20 characters when there's nothing to say)

No harmful substances, so even kids can use it freely. I work in an environment where I need to wash my hands frequently, about 3-4 times an hour, as I can't stand any foreign substances on my hands. Usually, when I use strong cleansers, my wrists can get rough and chapped. However, the Barista Hand Wash is mildly acidic, leaving my hands feeling soft and non-irritated - it's perfect for me! (I generally prefer mildly acidic products as I dislike the squeaky-clean feeling from body washes and foam cleansers) The container is user-friendly and sturdy, which I appreciate. The design is simple and clean, fitting well in both the bathroom and kitchen. I love how the foam is soft and rich. It's not too dense or rough, which is exactly what I prefer! I always keep hand wash at home and have tried many different brands. Compared to others, the Barista Hand Wash has very clean ingredients and a great feel when using it. The price is reasonable too, making it suitable for continuous use. Highly recommended!
ConsWhile the unscented nature indicates it's gentle with fewer additives, I think it would have been nice if the hand wash had a mild fragrance.

Compared to other hand cleansers, the lather seems richer and more luxurious. - Zero dryness. Sometimes cleansers with strong cleansing effectiveness can leave hands extremely dry, but this one doesn't dry out the skin at all! - Great ingredients and mildly acidic pH. The good ingredients and skin-friendly pH seem to be beneficial for the skin! - Fragrance-free. - The transparent container allows you to see how much product is left, which is convenient for knowing when to replace it.
Cons- Fragrance-free... a double-edged sword. While it's good that there are no artificial fragrances, it's a bit disappointing not to have that clean scent after washing your hands.
