The balm alone removes most makeup. However, I still follow up with foam cleansing to be safe • Scent: A fresh fragrance that shouldn't be polarizing • Value for money?: I've been wearing makeup about 3 days a week for nearly a year... so I'd say the volume is quite generous • Best part!! When I used oil cleansers, I'd have dirty water (ugh) running down my arms while washing, and if I opened my eyes mid-cleanse, everything would be blurry - almost like right after LASIK. That's much less of an issue now, which I love
Cons• Many people say it's great for drawing out sebum when used without water, but I'm not sure if it's that effective • If your skin is even slightly sensitive, using it without water might be painful!!
TipThey seem to have sales quite often on their official website, so it might be good to buy it then

I don't have strong preferences when it comes to fragrance, but I absolutely love the lemon scent during cleansing! 🍋 I don't usually do heavy makeup, but it seems like my makeup comes off to a certain degree. My eyeliner and mascara also come off nicely.
ConsI'm not sure if there are any downsides. However, for those who do heavier makeup, it might be better to focus on removing the key points like lips and eyes, and then use the product.

I often try different types of cleansing balms, and I found this one to be great - the firm texture made it easy to scoop out and apply, and the packaging with the spatula built into the lid was very convenient and nice. Despite the firm texture, it melted easily in my hands and cleansed thoroughly, leaving my skin feeling gentle, moisturized, and great!
ConsThis was one of the rare products that had no downsides for me! The only potential issue is that since the balm is quite firm, it didn't adhere to my face immediately after scooping it out, so I had to start cleansing right away without being able to close the lid.
TipIf you massage it enough, it helps bring out sebum as well, so it seems to be a good product for removing impurities and dead skin cells.

Although it's a bit biased, I've attached a photo of using the Simp-log All Cleansing Balm right away without using any full makeup or removers or cleansing water. First of all, the packaging is so neat and convenient. You just need to press the lid to open it, and it even has a built-in spatula, so managing and using it is easy. The fragrance and ingredients also worked well for my sensitive, troublesome skin. I didn't feel any irritation or breakouts after using it. The usage experience is also great. It doesn't run down like an oil, but melts very smoothly with just the warmth of my hands and face. It emulsifies well with water and I didn't feel any eye irritation or foreign matter. And the most important thing, the cleansing power!! Even after just rinsing with water after applying and massaging the cleansing balm, I could feel that the cleansing balm and makeup were almost completely removed. This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review, but I wrote it objectively and honestly!
ConsThere's nothing except for accessibility and price. I think the Hwahae Trial Reviewer usage will lead to a purchase.

However, when I scooped some and cleansed my face, a refreshing fragrance emerged that I enjoyed. I usually use cleansing oils and feel oily after cleansing, but the sorbet balm left a clean, fresh feeling. Other cleansing balms can be too oily and difficult to wash off, but the Simple Log cleansing balm wasn't overly oily, making it easy to rinse. I want to give a shoutout to the packaging - it's not the typical twist-lock container, but has a lid that opens, and the lid even has a convenient curved spatula, making it easy to use. The packaging is very user-friendly. The usage experience is great, but the convenient packaging also makes me want to repurchase. It's a vegan-certified product with only around 10 simple ingredients, which is nice. It's also refreshing and reassuring that it's a cosmetic product sold by the Samjin Pharmaceutical company.
ConsIt leaves a slightly drying feeling after the thorough cleansing, but that should be fine since it's almost summer.

But this time, I really enjoyed using the Simpleog Cleansing Balm! My negative perception of balm-type cleansers has completely changed. The packaging was so pretty, which made me happy. When I opened it, the yellowish color looked so refreshing, and the lemon-like scent was pleasant - not overpowering, but just right. The most thoughtful feature was that the spatula was fixed inside the lid, which was such a clever idea. I was always worried about the spatula getting dirty or dusty when stored separately. Even though it's a balm-type, it was quite solid at first, and I was wondering if it would spread well. But when I warmed it up with my hands, it melted so smoothly and spread evenly, which was great. I tried removing my eyeliner with it, and it took it off completely in one go - gently and cleanly. I thought there might be an oily residue left, but it actually left a very moisturizing, hydrating feeling. My perception of balm-type cleansers has completely changed, and I'm glad it's vegan, so I can use it with confidence. Lately, I've just been using sunscreen and water-based cleansers, but on days when I wore heavier makeup, this balm cleanser worked amazingly to remove it thoroughly while keeping my skin hydrated. I think I'll be using this regularly going forward.
ConsThe only downside I noticed was that the balm on the spatula didn't come off completely cleanly, but other than that, I didn't have any major issues.

Using just a small amount and rolling it a little at a time works well. The scent is subtle and not overpowering, and it doesn't bother me. There was no burden in using it, and my skin didn't feel tight or pulled after application. It had a slightly velvety texture with a sense of moisture, so there was no uncomfortable tightness. It also didn't feel slippery after use, and it wasn't irritating, so I think even those with sensitive skin could use it. When I used it as a second cleanse, I felt it cleansed well and left my skin refreshed without any residue. I didn't experience any breakouts after using it, and the built-in spoon in the lid made it hygienic and easy to control the amount.
ConsThere wasn't really any particularly disappointing aspect to using it.
TipWith just a little rolling using the warmth of my hands, it melts easily without any water.

But you can use the built-in spatula to scoop out the product, so it's easy to use! 🍊Fragrance It has a refreshing citrus scent, like orange or mandarin!
ConsThere wasn't much I didn't like, but the spatula format might be divisive...

And the fragrance is so nice! I also liked that they didn't test on animals.
ConsThere's really nothing bad, but if I had to pick something, I think a brighter, more vibrant yellow for the packaging would look nicer.
