  Pros

  I've lost count of how many bottles I've gone through of this cleanser... It's absolutely perfect for combination dehydrated skin! I used to think that squeaky clean feeling was good for my skin type, but those days are behind me. As time went on, my skin became drier and more sensitive, so I switched to this cleansing gel. My skin feels so much healthier now! It's great for morning cleansing without any deep dryness, and for evening routines, I use cleansing wipes for my eyes and lips, then double cleanse with this. First, I use the gel to wipe, then lather it up for a thorough cleanse - it works like a charm! My friends who've tried it when visiting have all fallen in love and bought their own. Please keep this product available forever!

  Cons

  I was a bit disappointed with the small size before, but now I'm thrilled they've come out with a 200ml version!

  Pros

  I prefer moisturizing cleansers, and this one caught my eye. The texture looked hydrating, and the product name suggested it balances pH, so I had high hopes when I tried it. The texture was more fluid than a gel, more of a water-like consistency. I typically favor this type of gel cleanser, and sure enough, it suited me well! What I loved most was how it left my skin feeling hydrated and not tight after cleansing. A single pump is enough for a thorough cleanse, so I expect this bottle to last quite a while.

  Cons

  The packaging design is slightly disappointing. It feels a bit outdated, you know? While the container itself is fine, the logo design and lotus motif could use some work. Interestingly, the box design is actually decent, but I wish the bottle itself was more sophisticated. That's really my only gripe with it.

  Tip

  For those with oily skin like mine, you might think you need a cleanser that leaves your skin feeling tight and squeaky clean. But did you know that can actually trigger more oil production? Try using a pH-balancing cleanser that leaves your skin feeling moisturized instead. You'll notice a difference the very next day!

  Pros

  This cleanser is moisturizing and gentle! It's packed with extracts from Jeju's pristine environment, including lotus leaf, aloe, green tea, rice, tangerine peel, rosemary, lotus root, and prickly pear. The ingredient list is quite impressive overall. What's unique is its 2-in-1 function as both a cleansing gel and foam cleanser. I absolutely love the soft, hydrating gel-cream texture that produces fine, dense bubbles. As a low pH cleanser, it doesn't give that squeaky-clean feeling, but instead leaves your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. While it's not powerful enough to remove all makeup in one go, it's surprisingly effective for a gentle cleanser - you can easily remove sunscreen with just one wash. The best part? After cleansing, my skin feels purified and looks noticeably clearer.

  Cons

  Considering the price, I wish it came in a slightly larger size. A 200ml bottle would be ideal.

  Pros

  Quick review: A flawless cleanser for everyone *Cleansing effectiveness: Despite being mildly acidic, it has excellent cleansing power for an acidic cleanser. Following the instructions (massaging onto dry face then rinsing gradually with water) effectively removes all base products including sunscreen. Since you'll likely use a makeup remover for color cosmetics anyway, this cleanser thoroughly removes any remaining residue. *Hydration: Compared to its strong cleansing power, it causes very little dryness. As someone with dry-combination skin, I didn't feel any tightness between cleansing and applying skincare products. *Texture: The application method is closer to a gel than a foam, resulting in less physical irritation. After rinsing, it leaves skin feeling clean without any slippery residue - just the right amount of softness and smoothness. *Scent: Even without added fragrances, it has a very strong citrus scent. This makes for a refreshing and pleasant cleansing experience every time.

  Cons

  *Packaging: I wish the pump nozzle was a bit longer. It's slightly inconvenient to use with one hand when placed on a surface due to the short nozzle.

  Tip

  You can also use it in the shower by applying it to your wet face. No need to go through the hassle of drying your face first.

  Pros

  I used to remove my makeup in stages - eye makeup remover, then cleansing water, then cleansing foam. But having it all in one step is truly convenient... At first I wasn't sure, but for someone like me who often puts off removing makeup and falls asleep, it's so easy that I'll definitely repurchase after I finish this one! The cleansing effectiveness is great! With other cleansing foams, I'd have to wash the sides of my nose twice to remove all the oil, but with this one, it seems to break down the oil in the first cleanse. Just one wash leaves my nose area squeaky clean!

  Cons

  While it removes eyeliner easily with a normal face wash motion, I'm a bit wary of getting it in my eyes. So I'm gentler around the eye area, and if I wipe with a cotton swab after washing, there's still a tiny bit of eye makeup residue. But it's such a small amount that I don't really mind...

  Pros

  I was selected as one of The Hwahae Testers and got to try the Jeju Botanical pH Balancing Cleanser. While there were some ingredients to be cautious about for allergies, I was relieved and pleased that it didn't contain 20 other concerning ingredients. Being a mildly acidic cleanser, it feels gentle, and I love that it's less irritating even on my super sensitive skin. It's great that my skin doesn't feel tight after cleansing and instead feels hydrated. The foam lathers up nicely and is so gentle that I've been using it regularly for my morning cleanse. Since this cleanser is made with minimal harmful ingredients, it seems beneficial for skin health. I'm impressed by its gentle yet effective cleansing power.

  Cons

  It doesn't give that squeaky-clean feeling, but rather a soft and moisturized sensation. This might be a hit or miss for those who prefer a more thorough cleansing feel.

  Pros

  I was pleasantly surprised by this product! Despite being unfamiliar with the brand, I decided to give it a try because it's vegan, and I'm quite impressed. I tested it both as a gel-to-foam and as a foam cleanser, following the instructions, but I personally preferred using it solely as a foam. It's perfect for morning cleansing or on days when I need to wash my face more frequently and don't want to stress my skin with harsh cleansers. What I loved most was seeing how it gradually cleared up my skin texture and visibly reduced blackheads (though the blackhead effect is temporary, of course!). I also noticed less redness after cleansing compared to my usual routine, which gave my complexion a brighter appearance. Even though I received this product as a sample, I'm definitely considering purchasing it once I run out. The pump dispenser is a nice touch, making it super convenient to use.

  Cons

  When I tried using it as a cleansing gel on dry skin, I didn't feel like it effectively removed makeup. The texture felt a bit stiff when massaging it in. For me, it works better as a second cleanse - I prefer using a different product for my initial cleanse, then following up with this one by lathering it with water from the start.

  Tip

  For best results, work it into a lather with water before applying!

  Pros

  As a 2-in1 product, I loved that I could do a more thorough cleanse by first rolling it onto my dry face, then adding water to wash it off. For busy times, I could quickly lather it up, but it was sufficient even without makeup on. Unlike some low pH cleansing foams that left my skin dry, this product didn't cause any dryness at all. I usually get periodic blemishes, but while using this product, I didn't experience any breakouts. The pump-type packaging made it hygienic to use and easy to control the amount. Although the price is a bit steep, it seemed to be effective for skin health. I'm satisfied to have discovered such a great product through The Hwahae Testers.

  Cons

  The scent might be polarizing for some. While you seem to get used to it over time, I was startled at first by the strong herbal smell when I started using it. Those who are sensitive to fragrances might find it off-putting.

  Pros

  This gentle gel cleanser is a type that emulsifies well in lukewarm water, making it easy on the skin. With its naturally derived surfactants, you can use it with peace of mind. The pump dispenser makes it convenient to use. Despite being mildly acidic, it produces a rich lather. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it to be non-irritating and quite suitable.

  Cons

  While this is just my personal preference, I found the fragrance a bit strong. The ingredients are good, but the scent was an issue for me.

  Tip

  It's great that you can get a rich lather even with a small amount of product.
