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've tried both gel and water-type low pH cleansers, but this foam type is definitely better since there's no need to work up a lather in your hands. The foam is thick like whipped cream, so just two pumps are enough for a thorough cleanse of your entire face. Plus, there's no artificial fragrance.
ConsIt cleanses quite thoroughly, so those with dry skin might experience some tightness after washing. However, since it's primarily a product for acne-prone skin, people with dry skin probably wouldn't be using it anyway.
TipI used to have a vicious cycle of using oil and balm cleansers to dissolve sebum, followed by a foaming cleanser for a squeaky clean feel, then an exfoliating toner. When blemishes appeared, I'd switch to a low pH cleanser for a few days to calm my skin, but I'd always be tempted to go back to intense cleansing. This product, however, is effective enough that I don't need double cleansing unless I'm wearing heavy makeup. It seems to control oil in my T-zone. I've settled on using this for my morning cleanse.

What I love most about this product is its mousse texture. There's no need to work up a lather separately - the product itself creates a soft, rich foam that effectively removes impurities from the skin. The ingredients in this cleanser are designed to help alleviate acne-prone skin.
ConsThose with dry skin might experience some tightness and dryness after use.
TipBy gently massaging the foam in circular motions, you can cleanse deep into the pores, which may help prevent the formation of blackheads.

The foam isn't the type that disappears quickly, but rather has a rich, creamy texture that allows for a gentle cleanse. Cleansing effectiveness: Average I use this as my second cleanser after an oil cleanser, so I'm generally satisfied even if the cleansing power isn't too strong. For those who want a more thorough cleanse, it might work well as a morning cleanser. Irritation level: Good Because of the rich foam, it feels less irritating than cleansing foams that you have to rub with your hands. It's like the foam reduces a lot of friction during cleansing.
ConsDryness: Slightly drying I have dry skin, so if I don't apply moisturizer immediately after cleansing, I feel some tightness. But this is due to my skin type... It might be more drying because it's winter... If you have dry skin, it's best to start your skincare routine right after cleansing. Scent: Unlike many fragrance-free products these days, this one isn't unscented. It has a sort of cool scent that some people might not like. Amount: It feels like it's running out too quickly...
TipIf you apply your skincare products immediately after cleansing, you can use this without any feeling of tightness.

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.Pros★The Hwahae Testers Review★ Skin type: Slightly dry / Combination (currently in a slightly dry state due to winter) Usage: Second cleanse Reason for trying: Wanted to try a bubble-type foam after using cream-type cleansers + Recent stress-induced blemishes 1. Texture: There's a reason 'mousse' is in the product name. It's a very dense foam type. While it does dissolve over time, it's definitely denser compared to other typical foam cleansers. - Convenient for cleansing as the foam doesn't drip - Product description suggests it can be used as a mask - seems possible for a quick mask if you don't move around. 2. Packaging: Standard transparent plastic foam container. Label-free, making recycling easy after use. Pump works well. 3. Cleansing effectiveness: As a heavy makeup user, I tested its cleansing power. - Sunscreen (mineral): Removes well - Cushion foundation: Removes well - Eyeshadow: Removes well - Tint: Removes well - Eyebrow product: Leaves slight residue - Contour concealer: Doesn't remove well - Lipstick: Doesn't remove well (For sunscreen and cushion, residue was checked by wiping with eye makeup remover on a cotton pad after cleansing.) Result: Seems to remove sunscreen, cushion foundation, and less pigmented eye and lip products. Eyebrow products, eyeliner, and mascara require makeup remover for first cleanse, then this for second cleanse. (Who would only use foam cleanser for waterproof eye makeup anyway? But I'll mention it.) - Less effective than my previous cream-type cleanser, but understandable given the different texture. 4. Feel on skin: As someone who regularly uses low pH cleansers, this felt adequately cleansing. However, those not used to low pH foams might feel it doesn't clean thoroughly. Post-use deep dryness wasn't severe. Compared to my previous cleanser, it felt more cleansing but less drying. 5. Scent: As expected from the bee-themed product, it has a honey-propolis scent. Anyone familiar with propolis-based cosmetics can anticipate this scent. Could be a deal-breaker for some, but the fragrance isn't overpowering, so it should be fine for most. 6. Effectiveness: While it claims to help with blemishes, 1-2 weeks isn't enough to see significant results. However, existing minor blemishes didn't worsen and seemed to gradually subside, suggesting potential benefits for acne-prone skin with consistent use. ☆ Conclusion: A dense foam-type product. Cleanses well despite its gentle feel. The mild propolis scent might be hit or miss for those sensitive to fragrances.
ConsThe foam texture makes it easy to overuse. (One pump is enough for a full cleanse... but it's habitual to press 2-3 times when you see the pump.)
Tip*Caution: The ingredient list shows many naturally-derived components. Always check ingredients as allergic reactions may occur for some individuals. 1. (Top row) Sunscreen, glitter eyeshadow (Bottom row) Lipstick, contour concealer, eyeshadow, eyebrow product, tint 2. Below lipstick~tint: Cushion foundation (visible light reflection if you look closely) 3. Foam texture 4. Cleansing effectiveness: Left side used this foam, right side used previous foam > Slightly less effective than my previous cream-type cleanser, but also less drying

Usually, when I work up a lather on my face, it can be irritating, but since this is a mousse, the pre-formed rich foam feels gentler during cleansing.
ConsThe cleansing effectiveness isn't as strong as I expected, so on days with full makeup, I use it as a second cleanse. Sometimes it feels a bit harsh, but I think that might depend on my skin's condition.
TipSince it's a foam type, it gets used up quickly. I'd love to buy it in a larger size.

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.ProsI've used this product for a full month and it's definitely one to look forward to! As someone with acne-prone and sensitive skin, my face immediately turns red and shows irritation when I use harsh cleansers. Having tried all the top 10 foam cleansers famous on Hwahae, I had high expectations for this one. Product type: Being a bubble foam type, it's truly non-irritating. As described in the product details, it allows for gentle rolling, and unlike other cleansers, it doesn't leave that 'slippery' feeling after washing. This made it perfect for me. The biggest advantage of this product is its ability to cleanse gently due to its slightly acidic, foamy nature. Scent: There's a subtle propolis fragrance! As someone who dislikes artificial scents, this was very good for me. Overall impression: Initially, I didn't feel an immediate effect, so I decided to use it consistently for two weeks before reviewing. Now, I'm generally satisfied with the product. While there are no dramatic effects, as someone with acne-prone skin, I value a 'gentle cleanse with a clean finish' the most, which this product delivers. I'm looking forward to seeing the results after finishing the entire bottle!
ConsDue to its bubble foam nature, it might feel like you're using more product than necessary. Considering its price of 20,000 won, some might find the quantity disappointing compared to other brands' products. You might be surprised by the lack of immediate effects. (Of course, this can vary from person to person) However, it's advisable to use it consistently for at least a week before evaluating the results.
TipFor a thorough cleanse, dispense the product twice, apply and gently massage in circular motions, then dispense once more for a complete cleansing experience.

It produces just the right amount of foam with an incredibly soft texture, making for a pleasant cleansing experience without any irritation. What's particularly impressive is how incredibly light and soft this mousse feels on the skin.
ConsI wouldn't really recommend this for removing makeup. Since it's a mild cleansing foam, it doesn't seem to be as effective at removing cosmetics. Also, as someone with very dry skin, I felt some dryness after washing my face.
TipI recommend using this as your second cleanse in a double cleansing routine!

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.ProsHighlights: - Excellent texture The mousse itself is incredibly soft. The cleansing process is gentle, and after washing, your skin truly feels silky smooth. - Effective cleansing! As someone who always double cleanses, cleansing power is crucial. This product manages to be both gentle and effective at removing impurities. - Scent It has a slight medicinal aroma, reminiscent of mouthwash or muscle rubs. I personally enjoy earthy scents, so I found this product's fragrance quite pleasant! - Sebum control It doesn't leave any oily residue, and I've noticed my skin producing less sebum (though this could be due to the changing seasons...). So far, I'm really liking it. - Non-irritating & acne-friendly While using this, I experienced some hormonal breakouts. In terms of its suitability for acne-prone skin, I'd give it five stars! Even after extracting blemishes, cleansing with this product didn't cause any further inflammation or worsening of troubled areas.
ConsRoom for improvement: - Hydration... While it's definitely gentle, it doesn't seem to address deep dryness. After use, the surface feels smooth, but my face feels tight! However, this product's main selling point is sebum control, and since oil control and hydration are somewhat opposing yet related issues, it's chemically understandable to have this effect. The product's intended benefits are sebum control, pore tightening(?), exfoliation, soothing, and being non-irritating, so hydration isn't really its focus. That's why I still gave it five stars, haha! --- 2023.11.22 - Additional review So... I use about 3-4 pumps for double cleansing, twice a day, morning and night. It hasn't even been 3 weeks since I received and started using this product...!? But there's only about 1/3 left... or maybe even less. Why does it seem to be running out so quickly...? Hmm....
TipPersonally, since excess sebum can lead to blemishes, I think it's better to use an acne-fighting cleansing mousse to improve sebum production, and then apply your skincare basics. I'm satisfied with this product.

My skin type: I have extremely dry, sensitive skin prone to blemishes. Texture: It's a mousse-type cleanser with a wonderfully fluffy foam. I applied it to my damp face and noticed the foam quickly dissipates when it touches water. I ended up using it 2-3 times, massaging thoroughly. Applying it to a dry face keeps the foam intact longer, allowing for a more thorough cleanse, but it does leave my skin feeling drier afterwards. Immediate moisturizing is a must! Scent: I thought it was unscented at first, but upon closer inspection, there's a subtle citrusy fragrance. It's fresh and clean, likely inoffensive to most, but those sensitive to scents should take note. Performance: Despite being a mousse, it exceeded my expectations in cleansing power. Unlike other mousse cleansers I've tried, it doesn't leave a residue. It leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean - the best mousse cleanser I've used so far!
Cons- While many of my initial blemishes have subsided, a new one popped up. I'm not entirely convinced of its effectiveness for acne or pimples yet, but it's only been a week. We'll see with continued use! - As mentioned, I have extremely dry skin, and it's winter now. After cleansing, my skin feels incredibly dry - to the point of flaking. I'd recommend this to those who prefer a squeaky clean feel over moisture retention after washing.

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.ProsGentle ingredients. Smooth texture without feeling tight or dry. Creates a dense lather for a pleasant cleansing experience. No need for harsh scrubbing, which is gentler on the skin. Rinses off easily, allowing for a non-irritating cleanse. Two pumps provide ample product. No moisture loss, evaporation, or dryness after washing. Feels more like a nourishing skincare product than a cleanser, with rich, nutritive properties.
ConsWhile not a deal-breaker, it does have a noticeable propolis scent. As it's a bubble pump type, it runs out quite quickly. Considering the price, this is a bit disappointing. Photos 1-2 show usage before and after 8 days, using 4 pumps daily. The acne-fighting properties aren't particularly noticeable. Still getting occasional small blemishes as usual. Cleansing effectiveness is slightly less than typical foam cleansers.
