  Pros

  It absorbs beautifully into the skin. It doesn't cause any irritation and seems great for protecting the skin barrier after cleansing.

  Cons

  Using the mini spatula to scoop it out can be a bit inconvenient. However, it's nicer than an oil as it's softer in texture. The amount you get is slightly disappointing though.

  Pros

  The Pore Barrier Cleansing Balm has a delightful sherbet-like texture that melts gently into the skin - it's absolutely wonderful! It effectively removes impurities from pores and makeup residue with a soft touch. I was thrilled that it left my skin feeling fresh without needing a second cleanse. After use, my skin felt moisturized without any tightness, and the clean sensation without irritation makes it perfect for daily use. It's also free from the typical oily sheen of balm cleansers, so I used it without hesitation. It's fantastic for pore care!

  Cons

  While the texture is smooth, it can leave a slightly oily residue after cleansing, which might feel heavy for those with oily skin. A second cleanse almost felt necessary, and the emulsification process was a bit cumbersome. Also, depending on your skin condition, it may cause blemishes, so it's best to avoid using it on sensitive days or do a patch test first. Overall, I'd recommend it more for evening cleansing rather than morning routines.

  Tip

  1. Apply to dry face and massage: Scoop some balm onto your palms and gently massage it onto dry skin - you'll feel the impurities and sebum melting away! 2. Tissue-off tip: After massaging, slightly emulsify with lukewarm water, then wipe off with a tissue for a clean finish without residue. 3. Targeted pore care: For areas with excess sebum like the T-zone or around the nose, do a double massage to help reduce blackheads. 4. Double cleansing combo: Use this balm as your first cleanse, followed by a gentle low pH foam cleanser to maintain hydration while reducing any tightness. Highly recommend this double cleansing method!

  Pros

  The Pore Barrier Cleansing Balm was absolutely amazing! I was impressed twice - first by the texture that melts gently into the skin, and then by the clean finish without any tightness after cleansing. It effectively removes not only makeup but also fine dust, while cleansing gently without irritating the pores. This makes it truly reliable to use. Especially during this season when blackheads tend to appear more easily, I can definitely feel it thoroughly cleansing deep into the pores.

  Cons

  If I had to point out one drawback, The container felt a bit small, giving the impression that it might run out quickly. However, since it melts well and cleanses effectively even with a small amount, I ended up using it for longer than expected!

  Pros

  I've been using another brand's cleansing balm regularly, and I decided to try this product because of its good reviews. I always double cleanse, first with a balm and then with a foam cleanser. This product seems to remove makeup similarly to the other brand, but it feels slightly less refreshing. The other brand leaves my face with a noticeable glow after cleansing, while this one has a bit less of that shine. I wonder why that is! I have combination dehydrated skin that's super sensitive, so I can't use just any product. This one seems gentle and non-irritating. I'll make a final decision after using the whole jar, but for now, I'm not sure if I'll repurchase.

  Cons

  While it's gentle and removes makeup well, it somehow feels a bit less refreshing.

  Pros

  As someone with oily and sensitive skin prone to blemishes, I found this product gentle and pleasantly scented. Its cleansing effectiveness is impressive - no need for a separate foam cleanser.

  Cons

  The balm melts quickly and can run down your face if you're not careful. Apart from that, I have no other complaints.

  Pros

  I've been using this product since April 10th. First off, it's absolutely gentle with zero irritation, which is fantastic. The cleansing balm gives a completely different, refreshing sensation compared to other products I've tried, which I really appreciate. Its cleansing effectiveness is impressive too. The balm melts smoothly, and it's great at removing all traces of makeup. I don't think there's a specific skin type recommendation for this cleansing balm because it seems suitable for all skin types without any issues. Whether you have dry, oily, or normal skin, I believe it would work well for everyone. I got it for just 3000 won with a welcome deal, and I'm absolutely in love with it.

  Cons

  The only minor inconvenience is that it takes a bit of time to open the packaging initially. It's not a major concern since you can manage to open it within 1-2 minutes, but it's worth mentioning. Despite this small issue, it's still definitely worth trying.

  Tip

  To use, scoop out a small amount and gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions to remove makeup residue. Of course, rinse it off thoroughly with water afterwards.

  It melts incredibly fast on the skin and rolls off easily. Great for cleansing without irritation.
