It's a shame that there are some risky ingredients..
It seems a bit irritating when my skin is really sensitive

I've been using it for 5 years now
I don't think I've found anything better yet..

스페셜 클렌징 젤

A little goes a long way - it produces great lather! Even though it's pricey, there's no need to waste it.

The inconvenient pump-type packaging has not been updated since the early 2000s, and the ingredients seem to be unchanged as well, raising doubts.

Despite being a mild, gel-type formula, it provides satisfactory foaming and cleansing power, almost on par with alkaline products. The surfactants used are relatively high-quality compared to other brands, making the price reasonably acceptable. While it lacks exfoliating properties, it works well for daily use. It also effectively removes makeup.

Compared to other cleansing products, it doesn't create a huge amount of lather, but if you pump it into your cupped palm and then use your index and middle fingers to gently massage the gel in a circular motion, the lather will build up a bit!

If I had to nitpick, the cleansing power could be a bit better..?
But considering that this is a second cleanse product, if I use an oil cleanser as the first step and then this one, the cleansing power shouldn't be much of an issue!
More importantly, the product is so gentle, that might be why I feel that way.

This has been my go-to cleanser for years!
When mild acid cleansers were all the rage, I was skeptical after seeing a lot of hype about foreign brands, but this product has turned out to be so gentle that my eyes don't sting at all during cleansing, and it really suits my skin! That's why I've kept using it~

I'd recommend the following cleansing routine for those with sensitive skin:
1. Pour the Bioderma red cleansing water into a foaming net, apply the foam to your face, and gently roll it around with your fingertips for the first cleanse (don't use cotton pads).
2. Use the Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel for the second cleanse, gently work up a lather, and roll it around.

There's really not much I can complain about... I've been using it for such a long time and am extremely satisfied with it.

I purchased this product as it is used at the dermatology clinic I go to, and I've been using it for over 5 years now. At first, I thought it wasn't cleaning properly since there was no squeaky clean sound, but it turns out that's because it's gentler on the skin. 
My skin is originally quite fair and sensitive, and I sometimes get contact dermatitis when I'm tired, but I've never had any issues using this product. I'm currently using it as a secondary cleanser and am very satisfied with it.

It doesn't solve the issue of blackheads on my nose.
The price is a bit steep, but it's not too bad if you buy it during a sale period. It might be a burden for students, but it's not a major issue for adults.

This is a must-have product for me. Using this product has significantly improved my flushed complexion.
It's perfect for me as I don't wear makeup and don't need strong cleansing power. It's also non-irritating.
I've tried many top-ranked mild acidic foam cleansers from Hwahae, but they were all irritating. My skin would feel like a burning sweet potato after washing.
Even recently, I was tempted to try another product, but it just emptied my wallet, so I've decided never to take such risks again.

This product is completely non-irritating and very moisturizing for my sensitive skin. It's almost fragrance-free, which I really like.
Looking at the recent Hwahae reviews, the ingredients have also become more gentle, so I don't have any more wishes. As long as there are no sudden changes in the formula, I'm confident I'll be a loyal customer until the end.

Whenever I purchase the full-size product, I receive samples to try, and the results confirm that this and the pre-cleansing oil are truly great.
The powder exfoliator is good too, but my sensitive skin doesn't allow me to use exfoliators.
The problem is that the Dermalogica moisturizer doesn't suit me at all.

My current routine is:
Special Cleansing Gel - Esthederm Calming Lotion (Toner) - Aromatica Aloe Gel
Cellufusion C MD Line Lotion and Cream (the cream is only for my extremely dry cheeks)

Now, I just need to find a sunscreen, and I'll have my holy grail routine set.

Use a separate makeup remover for point makeup!
Sunscreen should come off with this as well.😚
I bought it on a buy-one-get-one-free deal at Olive Young💯💯

The only downside is that I tend to use a bit more product because I like the rich lather.
The price is also a bit steep, unfortunately.
And the white sebum on my nose doesn't fully disappear with just this cleanser - I have to use a powder wash separately!

This is an amazing product.
I used to only use affordable mild cleansing foams, but I saw on YouTube that gel-type cleansers are more effective for acne treatment, so I bought this with some skepticism.
Despite the 16,000 won price tag for a 50ml bottle, I recommend this product because there is absolutely no irritation when cleansing!!!
The micro-bubbles are so soft and gentle, and it really feels like a cleansing experience solely for the skin's benefit👍
I don't like that squeaky clean feeling, so this was perfect for me.
Immediately after washing, my skin looks so clear and transparent, and it's incredibly moisturized.
The scent is almost unscented! This is also a plus for me!!
After using it for a week, my acne has decreased and my skin texture has improved - it's become so smooth and supple.
I would recommend buying this Dermologica product instead of going to a dermatologist.

It foams well and steams nicely, which is great.

There are hardly any downsides. It is on the pricier side, but if the quality is that good, then it's okay.

It is non-irritating and leaves no residue. It foams well and steams nicely, which is great.

The price is outrageous.. haha But it's still worth it since it lasts a long time.

The cleansing is really effective.
It cleanses well without completely stripping away moisture.

The high price is a bit disappointing haha. But when I buy the large size, the larger volume means I can use it for a long time, so I'm satisfied.

The product is easy to use without a sticky feeling. It's just a bit pricey.

Just use it, those who have used it once will probably come back again and again

I'm not sure, but the capacity is diverse and the price is not bad

I got tired of just using anything and everything, so I became very anxious and sensitive, but this time I turned around and went back to find it again ㅠ

I'm sensitive to scents, and this has a strong detergent-like smell... It feels like I'm washing with detergent.

My skin feels so moisturized after washing! It's completely non-irritating for my sensitive atopic skin.

This was my second mildly acidic cleanser.
The chemical smell was quite strong, so I used it together with other cleansers in between.
And when I bought it, I did some research and it was supposedly good, but I was shocked when I looked at the ingredients.
The ingredients were rather questionable.
It didn't cause any trouble when I used it, and it was fairly unremarkable.

This was a decent, long-lasting, and versatile cleanser.

Unlike typical cosmetics, it doesn't have a cozy fragrance. I can still smell the chemical odor, so it doesn't give a pleasant feeling.

I had a lot of milia around my chin, but I'm glad that it cleaned well without irritation and there were no more breakouts.
