It's great when you melt it with lukewarm water.
ConsThe scent? It's a bit odd. There's something artificial about it, but it's fine since you're washing it off anyway.

Cleansing Power Even makeup that is difficult to remove, such as mascara and eyeliner, was effectively cleansed. 2. Formulation The sorbet-like texture was gentle and non-irritating! 3. Functionality With added vitamins, my skin felt brighter and more radiant after cleansing.
Cons1. Fragrance There was a somewhat artificial orange scent that was a bit unpleasant.
TipLather it with water and gently massage it on areas with a lot of dead skin or excess oil, such as the nose and chin, for a smoother complexion!!

The formula is a sorbet-like texture and melts better than expected. There is no sense of foreign matter or irritation when rolling it on, which was great! The emulsification process also works well. 2. After cleansing, there is no tightness and the finish is not too slippery - just the right amount. I usually don't wear much makeup, just sunscreen, but I've tried other cleansing balms that left me feeling too slippery, needing a second cleanse. But this product finishes nicely and refreshingly without drying my skin. 3. It's not irritating and gentle, so it didn't cause any breakouts for me.
ConsThe scent is a bit... like orange? But it's close to the orange or grapefruit scent of dish soap. Though it's a gentle product, the scent made it feel a bit chemically to me during use. Packaging and spatula The included spatula is great! But to store the spatula, you have to keep opening both the outer and inner lids, which is an inconvenience that only those who've tried it would know. It was annoying the whole time.

First and foremost, the packaging caught my eye. As a vegan product, it presented the title very convincingly, which I liked. The fact that it came with a spoon inside made it seem hygienic, and opening the lid to use it was also convenient. The texture was smooth. Even though it's a solid, it scoops out very smoothly with a spoon, with a feeling like soft, layered ice cream. It wasn't overly harsh when applying it. The cleansing power was good. As a cleansing balm made of a solid cleansing oil, the cleansing power was naturally good. In my case, I only used sunscreen, so I couldn't test removing makeup, but it easily removed the sunscreen. The ingredient composition was good. One of the reasons I was hesitant to purchase a cleansing balm product was that most contain PEG ingredients, but this product did not have any PEG ingredients visible, which I liked. Overall, the gentle ingredients mean it can be used lightly.
ConsThe artificial fragrance lingers. As can be seen from the ingredients, fragrance has been added. The fragrance was similar to lemon, which I personally found satisfactory, but the fragrance was quite strong, so I think it could be divisive. There may be eye irritation and stinging. It felt a bit thicker in application compared to cleansing oil products. This made me think it could be slightly irritating to the skin. Separately, for those trying cleansing milk, oil, or balm products for the first time, there may be a stinging sensation in the eyes. The included tool is inconvenient. The method is to scoop out a certain amount with the included spoon, but when I first used it, I failed to control the amount and had to keep scooping it out, which was cumbersome. Honestly, I still sometimes struggle to control the amount properly.
TipAmong the various challenges, controlling the amount was the most difficult, so I've developed a few methods that I've gotten used to while using it. - Scoop a full spoon. When scooping, if I fill the spoon's indented part completely, the amount is usually about right, so I've been using that as a guideline. It's not a problem to scoop more, but if I scoop less, the amount feels insufficient. This feels like the proper amount, but the product gets used up quite quickly, which is a bit of a shame. - Melt it in my hands before applying. After scooping, I didn't always consider how much it would melt, so there were times when I applied too much or too little. Melting it in my hands first makes it easier to apply, and also prevents accidentally dropping and wasting the solid product on the floor.

Skin Type: Extremely Sensitive + Dry Skin 1. Packaging: A banana milk-colored yellow plastic container with no frills. For the price of 21,000 won, it doesn't feel particularly luxurious. 2. Texture: When first scooped out with a spatula, it has a sorbet-like feel! As it melts in the hands, it quickly transforms into an oily balm texture. It melts away dead skin cells and impurities, and after the emulsification process, it becomes a typical cleansing oil texture. 3. Usage Experience: It has a somewhat lighter oiliness compared to regular cleansing balms. Even though I have dry skin, I usually double-cleanse, but I didn't experience any tightness or squeakiness after using this cleansing balm. 4. Breakouts: Fortunately, I didn't experience any breakouts while using this product.
Cons1. Fragrance: Hmm... It's not overpowering, but it has a subtle cosmetic scent that, if described charitably, is floral, but if described less charitably, is more akin to a detergent-like smell. As someone sensitive to fragrances, the scent wasn't particularly pleasing when applied to my face, and since the fragrance also affects the ingredients, I had to give it a low score.🥲 2. Cleansing Power: After giving birth, I barely wear full makeup, just a light base and some subtle eyeshadow and eyeliner. The cleansing power was quite disappointing. If you use this product, you'll need an eye and lip makeup remover as well! 3. Packaging: As is typical for cleansing balms, it's not as convenient as cleansing oils that you can just squeeze out and use. Moreover, the lid that came with the spatula didn't close very well at first, so I had to remove it to get the product out, and then struggled to get it to close again properly, so I ended up just throwing it away...🤦🏻♀️
