I'm trusting its nourishing properties. Surprisingly, it didn't leave my skin feeling dry. After double cleansing, my skin feels unexpectedly clean. It leaves a slightly moisturized, squeaky-clean feeling - if that makes sense?
ConsI wouldn't expect too much in terms of cleansing effectiveness. It might vary depending on your cleansing method, but if you have a lot of product or excess oil on your skin, it doesn't clean very well. The price is pretty steep. When my mom first gave it to me, I didn't know what it was and used it as a hand soap. I was wondering why it wasn't cleaning well, so I looked it up. What a waste... I've been using it incorrectly all this time. Anyway, that's how I learned that if there's too much oil in the emulsion, it doesn't cleanse well on your hands either. For cleansing purposes, double cleansing is a must with this product.
TipIt works best when used as part of a double cleansing routine.

Lasts longer than expected. When you have dead skin cells, gently massaging your face helps exfoliate them. Try using the leftover foam to cleanse your body too. A light scrub on your body, without applying too much pressure, effectively removes dirt and dead skin.
ConsThe soap is on the pricier side. It can soften and dissolve quickly. I recommend using a plastic soap dish, and alternating which side you place it on after each use to help it last longer.

After just one wash, my skin felt squeaky clean and my complexion seemed improved. There was a slight sensation of my pores appearing smaller, though the difference was comparable to what I've experienced with other cleansers.
ConsThe soap isn't very firm and feels rather soft, so it might not last very long.
TipIt seems important to work up a good lather. Proper storage will likely help it last longer.

There's a satisfying feeling about that, and my face felt squeaky clean and refreshed.
ConsRecently, I've been experiencing deep dryness and felt like my skin barrier was compromised. After using the Black Sugar Scrub, my skin felt even drier. For those with extremely dry skin like mine, I'd suggest using it for only 20-30 seconds instead of 60. You'll also need to follow up with a more intensive skincare routine than usual after using the Black Sugar mask. On the other hand, my sibling with acne-prone/oily skin saw a noticeable reduction in blemishes and a significant improvement in skin texture.
TipIf you have dry skin, 60 seconds might be too long and could cause irritation, so keep the massage as short as possible!

ConsIt didn't feel like a massage pack as advertised, more like just a nice soap
TipI use it by placing a sponge underneath and flipping it over as I go

After washing, my skin feels squeaky clean - you can tell it's working right away. Just seeing the words 'herbal ingredients' makes me feel good about it. The explanation about the black sugar is impressive too. I might not fully appreciate the true value of the black sugar soap yet since I'm using it alongside other exfoliating and pore-cleansing products. I'll keep using it until it's gone and try to discover even more benefits!
ConsThe dark color and sticky texture mean you really need a proper soap dish for this. I briefly put it in a regular soap dish with holes, and oh boy, black liquid made a mess all over the sink and floor! It's a bit inconvenient to use as a bar soap. As someone who doesn't know much about cosmetics, I'd cautiously suggest making it in a stick form like glue - wouldn't it be easier to apply directly to the face that way?
TipI used an exfoliator before trying the black sugar soap. My skin is quite oily and my nose is covered in blemishes, so...

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.ProsThe Hwahae Testers review: Hydration: From the moment you wash, there's a smooth feeling, and it seems to refine the skin texture and improve it overall! Cleansing effectiveness: Not only is the hydration great, but the cleansing power is also excellent. It leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean while still being gentle and moisturizing. Easy to use: At first, I thought it might be tricky to use because of its unique shape, but it's as simple as lathering it up like regular soap, cleansing, and rinsing! Plus, it's quite solid, so it doesn't get soft and mushy like other soaps!
ConsColor: The black color looks unique, but when the soap dissolves and drips into the sink, it can look a bit unattractive and messy. Not-so-dramatic results: They say if you lather for 60 seconds, rinse with lukewarm water, and then massage, dead skin cells will come off. Unfortunately, I didn't experience this. While I'm satisfied that my skin feels smoother, I didn't get that sensation of dead skin cells being removed.
TipI found it works great even if you don't do the full 60-second routine and just use it like regular soap!

I've been using only Cel*** since 2014, so I was intrigued by the idea of something that both cleanses and acts as a pack. I've been using it diligently morning and evening, and I love how it seems to scrub away dead skin cells! It's so satisfying to feel that exfoliating effect.
ConsI'm not sure if there are any downsides yet, as I've been using it for less than a month. Oh! I'm not certain about its effectiveness on blackheads, but I can definitely say that my pores seem smaller and I've noticed a reduction in whiteheads!
TipPro tip: Soak it in lukewarm water in a bath scoop for a minute before use, and it lathers up beautifully.

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.ProsI'm a woman in my early 40s with combination skin, and my biggest concern is pores. I've always used foam cleansers for washing my face, so this was my first time trying a soap-type cleanser. After washing, my skin felt squeaky clean, which was refreshing - I think I understand now why people use soap! It even helped with dead skin cells. When you add a bit of water, the texture becomes somewhat thick, and I tried to film a video of it, but unfortunately, I couldn't upload it. It makes me think you could use it like a cleansing pack. The scent is close to unscented, and while it's not harsh overall, I'd give it high marks for cleansing effectiveness and especially for its ability to remove dead skin cells. If you use this soap daily, you might not need separate exfoliation treatments. I plan to repurchase when I run out!
ConsThe strengths of this product seem to be connected to its weaknesses. I see the exfoliating power as directly linked to its cleansing effectiveness, which might not be suitable for those with dry skin.
TipAfter lathering in your hands, using a foam net to create even richer lather and then massaging it onto your face without direct hand contact feels much less irritating.

I used this product from September 30th to October 8th. 1. After cleansing, my skin feels squeaky clean. 2. It lathers up quickly with just a touch of water, no need for a foam net. 3. Even after toning, there's no residue left (while it can't tackle blackheads, it effectively removes dead skin cells and whiteheads in one go). 4. It removes heavy makeup well (from eyeliner to CC cream, everything comes off without leaving residue). 5. It has a pleasant, subtle herbal scent that's not overpowering. 6. Creams and serums absorb faster after use. § Overall: With its excellent cleansing effectiveness and proper hydration, even those with super sensitive skin could benefit from this product. §
Cons1. If not dried properly, it becomes mushy and the liquid drips down the soap dish, making a mess (even bathroom humidity can cause it to soften and create a mess without use). 2. I used it 3 times a week due to its great cleansing power, but I developed blemishes on my cheeks. For my skin, 1-2 times a week seems more suitable. 3. Once it softens, even a small amount of water releases a lot of liquid, making it difficult to control the amount used. 4. It runs out faster than expected. 5. After washing, when the skin dries, it feels tight (hydration is a must!). § Overall: Keep your skin hydrated and the soap dry! Once it softens, no amount of drying will bring back its original firmness... §
TipAfter use, apply more moisturizing cream or serum than usual. Your skin might feel dry in the morning. With proper hydration, your makeup will apply smoothly the next day and your complexion will look clearer.
