The initial experience can be surprisingly slippery (the soap has a viscous texture), but it rinses off cleanly with water, leaving skin feeling fresh. Unlike some moisturizing soaps that can leave a residue, this one cleanses thoroughly, which I appreciated. I received it as a gift and was initially concerned about the ingredients, but it turned out to be gentler than expected and excellent for hydration.
ConsThe price is quite steep, and no matter how you store it, the soap easily becomes mushy. Because of this, I'm not sure if it's just my imagination or reality, but it feels like the soap wears down extremely quickly...

After trying it, I found it lathers up beautifully with rich foam. The unique and pretty color also looks great in my bathroom.
ConsDespite being called an 'Ampoule Bomb', it left my skin feeling very squeaky clean and actually quite dry. The half-moon shape keeps slipping and falling. After washing, my face tingles, turns red, and feels irritated. Considering the price, it was quite disappointing.

I'm a bit embarrassed for writing this review so late. Actually, I didn't even know the package had arrived, but my younger brother had taken it and was using it. So, I'll review his impressions after using it for over a week, along with my thoughts from trying it today! Positive points: ✔️Moisturizing Unlike other soaps that often feel harsh due to that squeaky-clean sensation after use, this one leaves your skin feeling like it has a protective layer - a rich finish! ✔️Cleansing balm means effective cleansing! My brother secretly tried it and kept using it because of its cleansing effectiveness. It's summer, so he sweats a lot, but he loved how refreshed he felt after washing. He didn't even want to give it to me! I deliberately removed my makeup with a tissue first and then cleansed, and it left my skin clean without any residue or foreign sensation. ✔️Firm and doesn't soften easily No matter how big or cheap a soap is, it's pointless if it melts away quickly. This soap passes the test in that regard. I've been consistently using various types of soap for environmental reasons and have tried many brands out of curiosity. But soaps that disappear quickly, even if cheap, feel wasteful. The ampoule cleansing balm cleanses thoroughly with just a few rubs and maintains its firmness, which is great! ✔️Unique, eco-friendly packaging First, it came packaged in paper without any plastic. The semi-circular soap shape is new to me - though it'll end up in a soap bag eventually! It looks pretty and stands up well. The small surface area touching the base helps it dry quickly, which is a plus.
Cons✔️The scent is a bit disappointing...! Based on the color and packaging, you'd expect a sweet brown sugar scent, but it's not, which is a bit disappointing. ✔️Dark lather color...? This is something my brother mentioned - he said the dark color of the lather makes your face look dirty before rinsing it off. It's not really a drawback, but I thought I'd mention it as it might be a reaction some guys have.
TipStoring it upright should help it last longer. You know it's best to use a soap net once the soap gets small enough, right?

I was initially drawn to the sophisticated brown color and crescent shape, which led me to apply for the testing program - and I was lucky enough to be selected! I started using the product in the evening as soon as I received it. The lather is rich and stretches like an ampoule. When I cleansed with the foam, my skin felt moisturized and soft. Despite having somewhat sensitive skin, I experienced absolutely no irritation! Interestingly, when I ran out of shampoo, I decided to try washing my hair with this cleansing balm. I was surprised by how well it lathered and cleansed, though I did need to use conditioner afterward. After using it daily, I noticed the ampoule bar getting smaller. It would be great if they could make it a bit larger in size.
ConsThe downside is that the crescent shape is extremely slippery, making it difficult to lather with bare hands without dropping it. (I wonder if the creators realized this during testing? It would have been better if they included a foam net as a gratis item.) Make sure to use it with a foam net or soap net. Also, the price seems a bit high for the amount you get. Personally, I think it might be better to combine two bars into a circular shape.
TipUse it with a soap net for best results.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsIngredients: Gentle enough for me to use on my face, and I also use it with a shower towel to lather up and wash my body. Moisturizing power: As it's summer and my face is quite oily, I'm satisfied that this product keeps my skin hydrated without feeling too tight. However, I wouldn't recommend using this product alone for those with dry skin or deep dryness concerns. Scent: It has a similar scent to Physiogel, which I found pleasant and easy to use. Cleansing effectiveness: While it's not strong enough to replace a cleansing oil, it gently removes light makeup (like sunscreen and tinted lip balm) without causing irritation.
ConsPrice: It's on the expensive side compared to other cleansing products, soaps, and consumables. Moisturizing power: Although I mentioned earlier that it feels hydrating, it doesn't quite live up to the product description of providing an 'ampoule-like' glow or Inner Glow. It's just slightly more moisturizing and less drying than other soaps. Not recommended for use on its own. Formulation: The soap form is disappointing because when left in the bathroom, it becomes too soft and melts quickly. Considering the price, it doesn't last as long as one would hope.

The half-moon shape is quite unique! Great ingredients: All the ingredients are beneficial, so I didn't experience any blemishes, tingling, or other issues when using the product. Hydrating: It feels like an essence concentrate? The hydration after cleansing is wonderful! I used to experience some tightness after washing, but not with this. Squeaky clean: I love that squeaky-clean feeling after washing - if I don't get it, I feel like I haven't cleansed properly. This soap gives me that satisfying clean sensation. Fragrance-free: Sometimes scented products can be hit or miss, so I'm glad this one is unscented! Cleansing effectiveness: It removed makeup well, unless it was very heavy or intense. I usually just wear sunscreen, mascara, and eyeliner, and it cleaned those off effectively - I'm satisfied!
ConsPrice: The price is a bit disappointing. The soap isn't particularly large - it's half-moon shaped and about half the size of your palm, but costs around $20, which I think is quite expensive. Aside from the price, I don't have any other complaints!
TipUsing it with a mesh bag prevents it from getting soggy and reduces waste. I recommend using it with a mesh bag!

I have dead skin cells that peel off like dirt. * It lathers well. The foam is soft with a bit of stickiness. When you work up the lather, you understand why it's called an 'ampoule bomb'. It feels slippery while cleansing, but as you rinse it off, it leaves a squeaky-clean feeling... The cleansing effectiveness seems good. * After cleansing, my skin feels hydrated and I don't immediately feel that deep dryness. After using it for a week, the deep dryness has noticeably decreased. There's also a subtle improvement in skin texture and a reduction in dead skin cells. I've only used it for a week, so I believe it will get even better with continued use. As I have oily skin, I can't just rinse with water in the morning, but this soap is great for morning cleansing. Since the deep dryness is reduced after washing, my makeup seems to apply better too. * Fragrance-free. I prefer unscented soaps, so this was fine for me. * I was worried about blemishes due to over-nourishment because of my oily skin, but fortunately, I didn't experience any breakouts.
Cons* It's difficult to store. I kept it on a sponge, but the sponge turned brown because the soap is quite soft. It seems to soften as soon as it touches water. You should probably avoid keeping it right next to the sink. * While it's called an 'ampoule bomb', it's a bit pricey. Unless the effects are dramatic, it might be a bit burdensome to use continuously.

No dryness after cleansing, excellent cleansing effectiveness - Feels great because it's moisturizing yet cleanses well 2. Hydration boost thanks to ampoule content - So much ampoule that it feels incredibly slippery as soon as you add water 3. Made with natural, skin-friendly ingredients - Really gentle ingredients, no blemishes at all! 4. Gentle and non-irritating like a low pH cleansing foam 5. Very easy to lather even without a foam net 6. Even the packaging is eco-friendly!
ConsThe soap tends to soften easily due to its high ampoule content. You can see the edges are a bit squished. I stored it in a cup on that side, and it ended up like that, haha! Oops! And the price... but it's worth it, so I'm not sure if it's really that expensive.
TipPerfect for morning cleansing! No need for a soap net. And when storing, place it on something like a sponge to keep it dry!

Cons* Brown water keeps running when it gets wet Quick dissolution seems to be both an advantage and disadvantage However, it doesn't easily soften or crumble * Despite claims of dead skin cells and impurity removal, I still needed to use a peeling gel after a week without exfoliation as some flakiness appeared * Planning to reassess changes in dead skin cells and complexion after a month of consistent use. Will continue using the same skincare products post-cleansing
TipFor best results, follow the instructions and massage in circular motions for a full 60 seconds to allow the ampoule ingredients to absorb, which seems to reduce dryness The lather is so abundant that you can use it for your body after washing your face - don't just rinse it off, use it all over It's normal for skin to feel dry some time after cleansing with any product, so I recommend applying mist or skincare products as quickly as possible after washing

I've had good experiences with bifida-based ampoules in my skincare routine before, so when I saw this soap containing bifida ampoule, I immediately signed up to try it! Unlike regular soap, my skin didn't feel tight after cleansing. I've been using it for about 5 days now, and my skin has become incredibly soft and hydrated. When I used bifida skincare products before, I felt my skin becoming more supple, though not dramatically so, and I got the same feeling with this Ampoule Brown soap! It's great for removing light makeup that I wear due to mask-wearing. The scent is very subtle - just a faint soap fragrance. I appreciate that it's not overpowering, especially since it's meant for facial massage too. I love how it lathers up generously with just a light touch when wet. I was worried the soap might dissolve too quickly, but the rich lather put my mind at ease. The foam is fine and soft, but interestingly has a slight viscosity like snail cream. It's gentle enough for a nice facial massage. It rinses off well, leaving my skin feeling soft and clear without any tightness. I'm really impressed! Considering the added ampoule benefits, I think the price is reasonable. The luxurious packaging also makes it great for gifting.
ConsI'm not sure if it's due to the ingredients, but the brown water it produces is a bit concerning. Since I use a soap dish that allows water drainage, it leaves brown stains on my white sink. This aspect of maintenance is somewhat disappointing.
TipFor storage, I recommend keeping it on a flat surface rather than a shaped soap dish. When I squeezed it into a single-soap dish next to my existing soap, it became misshapen and started to crack. It's fine when placed on a flat surface. I also suggest not storing it with other soaps. White soaps will immediately turn brown where they touch this one. To effectively remove whiteheads, work up a lather and massage in circular motions, focusing on problem areas. It cleans very well this way!
