Everything about this product is great, but even after the reformulation, the scent is... really off-putting. If it weren't for the fragrance, it would be perfect!

I bought this after it was recommended for my skin blemishes. As someone with dry skin struggling with unexplained adult acne, I'm really impressed. Using this low pH cleanser leaves no feeling of deep dryness, and I'm genuinely loving it. I'll definitely stock up before I run out!

Since I haven't been using it for long, I can't really pinpoint any drawbacks yet.

Even though I've only been using it for a few days, it's working well without any irritation. I have super sensitive skin, so I plan to keep using it and see how it goes.

[There's a dermatological study showing that if you only use a foam cleanser, 20-30% of sunscreen residue remains on your skin. So, what happens if your daily cleanser is strong enough to remove sunscreen completely? It's best to first remove sunscreen with a primary cleanser (cleansing oil, milk, or water), then finish with a foam cleanser for thorough cleansing.

While those with oily skin might benefit from using a squeaky-clean cleanser with strong surfactants every evening in summer for deep cleansing, using such products as part of your year-round daily routine can actually damage your skin barrier, making it more sensitive. Your skin is an incredibly smart organ that can regenerate and heal itself. However, if you strip it with harsh cleansing, you'll compromise these functions. Squeaky-clean cleansing not only removes impurities but also strips away essential moisture and oils, leading to dry and sensitive skin.

Cleansing is the crucial first step in your skincare routine and sets the foundation for proper skin hydration. When dealing with super sensitive skin, delicate skin, or blemish-prone skin, the first thing to correct is often the cleansing method. Scrubbing and over-cleansing are major culprits in damaging the skin barrier. Many people find it hard to break this habit due to the refreshing feeling it provides. However, once you establish a healthy cleansing routine, the rest of your skincare becomes much easier!]

So far, I don't have any major complaints, but among low pH cleansing foams, I'd say its cleansing effectiveness is more "moderate" than "excellent". It's not a product developed for intense cleansing power.

This cleansing foam has a gentle, low-irritation formula with a mildly acidic pH of 5.3. Thanks to its slightly acidic nature, it doesn't stress the skin barrier and helps maintain healthy skin. The formula excludes potentially irritating ingredients like fragrances and harsh surfactants, focusing on a minimal ingredient list. You can expect soothing, hydrating, and immunity-boosting effects, making it especially suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.

There are many reasons to choose a mildly acidic cleanser, but the most important is maintaining your skin's pH balance. To minimize friction and irritation while leaving skin moisturized after cleansing, this foam was developed with a rich lather using propolis extract water instead of purified water. It also contains barrier-protecting ingredients like 5% panthenol to support skin health.

This moisturizing cleanser is suitable for the whole family, even infants, with its mildly acidic pH and gentle plant-derived non-ionic surfactants. It's formulated for those with delicate skin barriers including children, adults, and pregnant women, using only ingredients found in baby cleansers. This allows for double cleansing without any irritation.

To address rosacea and other problematic skin conditions, it contains low-irritation ingredients along with barrier-improving and anti-inflammatory components like dimethyl sulfone, propolis extract, Manuka honey extract, and panthenol. These provide antioxidant and hydrating benefits for the skin. Many users report less irritation, fewer blemishes, and no tightness after cleansing, with excellent moisture retention.

Key ingredients:
• Mildly acidic pH: Maintains skin's natural acidity to minimize irritation and protect the skin barrier
• 64% Brazilian green propolis extract: Offers soothing, antibacterial and protective effects while boosting immunity against various bacteria, especially acne-causing ones. It helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling from blemishes. Rich in flavonoids, it provides antioxidant protection and calms sensitive skin. Its amino acids and minerals help form a protective moisture barrier.
• 5% premium New Zealand Manuka honey: Provides wound-healing and antibacterial benefits. Its flavonoids neutralize free radicals to prevent cell damage and slow aging. Polyphenols strengthen the skin barrier. It also helps reduce acne-related inflammation and balances skin pH. With high methylglyoxal (MGO) content, it aids in managing blemishes and troubled skin.
• Dimethyl sulfone: Contains 5% dietary sulfur to support the skin barrier. It may help reduce skin inflammation, prevent secondary infections through its antibacterial effects, and promote collagen and keratin production for skin health. It provides soothing and irritation-reducing effects for troubled skin while helping maintain moisture and improve dryness.

This cleanser is particularly effective for sensitive or dry skin due to its Manuka honey content. The combination of propolis, Manuka honey, and dimethyl sulfone work together to provide comprehensive care for various skin concerns, from sensitivity and dryness to blemishes and inflammation.• 5% Panthenol, Ceramides, Cholesterol, Fatty Acids: Panthenol soothes skin and boosts moisture content, alleviating dryness. The inclusion of skin-identical lipids helps strengthen the skin's protective barrier, shielding it from external irritants and supporting overall barrier function.

• Gentle Plant-Derived Non-Ionic Surfactants: Using only the mildest surfactants typically found in baby cleansers, this foam cleanser effectively removes impurities while preserving the skin barrier, promoting skin health.

• Rich, Creamy Lather: The ultra-fine foam texture minimizes friction against the skin, reducing potential irritation. Its dense, cushiony lather ensures a gentle cleansing experience.

• Fragrance-Free Formula: This mild, unscented cleansing foam is suitable even for sensitive skin types.

• Clinically Proven Cleansing Power: Dermatologist-tested and certified for its ability to remove fine dust particles, making it a safe choice for the whole family, especially on days with high pollution levels.

• Post-Cleanse Hydration: Enriched with hyaluronic acid, this cleanser leaves skin feeling moisturized without tightness after washing. It forms a protective moisture barrier to shield sensitive skin.

• Smart, Gentle Formula: This cleanser is designed to remove excess sebum, impurities, and fine dust while preserving the skin barrier and essential moisture. Experience the healthy skin transformation that comes from non-stripping, gentle cleansing.

Start your journey to healthier skin with the Propolis Gentle Cleanse - a mild yet effective formula that cleanses thoroughly while maintaining your skin's natural balance.

Sometimes I wake up with redness after using it for my evening cleanse

I loved how it left my skin feeling fresh without any tightness after cleansing

Joo Dak's product: about 500ml (180×3) for around 70,000 won including shipping
vs. Other low pH cleansing waters: 500ml for about 10,000 won
The choice is yours

Cons: The scent and value for money.

I used to put a different cleansing water in a Daiso foam dispenser.
The feel of this product isn't much different, but the price certainly is!
For those who think, 'It's just a cleanser, not a core skincare product - I can't justify spending this much!', try putting cleansing water in a foam dispenser.
The feel is really similar, and it even has the same slightly unpleasant scent.
I ordered three bottles of this, but once they're finished, I'll go back to using cleansing water in a foam dispenser.
I acknowledge that it's trending because it's made by a dermatologist, but let's be real - most other cosmetics are also created by skin experts.

Here's my honest review...
I have dry skin and recently applied a high concentration of pure vitamin C along with Paula's Choice niacinamide, which seemed to be too harsh. It caused redness, a burning sensation, and peeling - a total disaster. While trying to repair my skin barrier with home care, I decided to order this cleansing foam.

To cut to the chase, the pros are:
It's gentle. My skin feels less dry after cleansing. No blemishes appear.

I haven't found any downsides while using this product. I wish I had bought another one during the sale, though the price is a bit on the higher side. Once you finish the product, I recommend trying the refill option for a more economical purchase.

This is a gentle, low pH cleansing foam that leaves your skin moisturized and soft after washing, without that squeaky-clean feeling. Among similar products, it had the richest lather, and I really loved how it didn't leave my face feeling dry after use.

If you don't care about scent and just want something gentle - highly recommended. If you're sensitive to even slightly off-putting scents - absolutely not recommended.

While I appreciate that it's fragrance-free, the scent is... really... just... awful. Sometimes it smells so unpleasant that washing my face becomes a struggle. There have been times when the smell actually made me feel nauseous during cleansing.

It's great that my skin doesn't feel dry after cleansing. This cleanser is truly gentle and has a soft, velvety lather. As someone with super sensitive skin that reacts badly to unsuitable products, I'm thrilled that this doesn't cause any blemishes.

Before the reformulation, the scent was a bit peculiar, and my husband refused to use it. But after the update, it's much better!

I've gone through several bottles of this. It really suits me well, so I plan to keep using it consistently. I love the texture, and the finish is great too.

It stings quite a bit if it gets into your nose while cleansing... That's really the only downside I can think of.

Even those with super sensitive skin can use this without worry. There's a slightly spicy sensation when it lathers, but after cleansing, your skin feels incredibly hydrated!

When used together with Jullai's cleansing milk, my skin feels incredibly fortified!

There aren't any downsides, but if I notice any later, I'll add them. Perhaps those unfamiliar with propolis might find the scent unusual? Personally, I appreciate that no artificial fragrances were added

((Purchased with my own money))

- The foam is rich and creamy
- Despite having sensitive skin, I don't experience any blemishes. Especially noteworthy since I often had skin reactions when using products labeled as 'low pH cleansers', but this one causes no issues and works wonderfully
- After washing, my skin definitely feels less tight
