It's gentle, but the cleansing power is not bad. Of course, as a mild product, it can't completely remove sunscreen, but the cleansing power is not lacking. The scent is a typical soap scent. Since I only received it as a free sample, I haven't been able to use it much.
ConsHonestly, it's a bit of a hassle to work up a lather since the formula is so rich.
TipThis is a cleansing gel that produces a lather. Therefore, it is better to lather it well and use it for cleansing.

Texture: It is a transparent gel formula. So I've often squeezed it out of my hands and dropped it in the sink. You have to be careful. Usage: The lather is not super bubbly, but it's soft and lathers well. It feels gentle. After use: It's slightly acidic and meant for morning cleansing, so it doesn't feel like it cleans thoroughly, but it leaves the skin moisturized. It's good for when you wake up with a lot of oil in the summer, and as a second cleanse after using a cleansing milk.
ConsThis product is extremely gentle, so it is impossible to use it for exfoliating or simply removing sunscreen. While it is clearly a gel formulation, when trying to lather it, there is no foam, and it can sometimes drip off the hands into the sink, so one must be careful.
TipPeople with a lot of acne should not always wash their skin intensively, as this can actually damage the skin barrier and worsen the acne. Unless you have extremely oily skin, it's generally better to use a mildly acidic cleanser and exfoliate 2-3 times a week with a slightly alkaline or exfoliating product. Even for those with oily skin, try using a mildly acidic cleanser once in the morning.

It's all good. When I wake up in the morning, it's not uncomfortable to use, the lather forms just right, and it doesn't feel overly drying at all - it just feels very gentle.
ConsThere's none... The price is too cheap... I switched over from Biplain Nokdu, but I think I'll keep using it.

Just as the name suggests, it seems like a good option for a light morning cleanse. However, it's been discontinued.
ConsThere's nothing in particular! It would be nice if there was a bit more lather, and it would be great if it came in a larger size!!

It's quite convenient not having to create a lot of foam, and I'm very satisfied with it. ♧Cleansing Power♧ As it's a mildly acidic product, I only use it as a secondary cleanse. Even after using cleansing oils or balms, it doesn't cause any breakouts, which I really like. ♧Usage Experience♧ My skin feels soft and smooth after cleansing, which I enjoy. I don't prefer a squeaky-clean feeling, so this is perfect for me. ♧Irritation♧ There's no flushing or redness after cleansing, it's very gentle and great. ♧Recommended Skin♧ All skin types except those who prefer a squeaky-clean cleansing experience
ConsIt's a shame that it feels like it's used up a bit faster compared to the capacity, which is disappointing. However, it has a good cost-effectiveness and is a life-changing cleansing foam!

I've tried various cleansers before, and when I saw one with 'Good Morning' in the name, I decided to give it a try and ended up liking it so much that I even gifted it to my mother! However, it's not a foaming, squeaky-clean type of cleanser. So it's just perfect for morning use!
Consthere are times when it feels a bit inconvenient to cleanse my face as the lather does not form well.

Mild cleansers tend to have weaker cleansing power, and I often felt unsatisfied after washing my oily skin. But this product, despite being mildly acidic, seems to effectively remove excess oil. 🙂 I'm using it for my morning cleanse and I'm quite satisfied! The lather is dense and smooth, though I can still feel a bit of the characteristic slipperiness of mild cleansers. Overall, I think this is a great product, especially for oily skin types who want a gentle morning cleanser that won't strip the skin. ☀️ User Experience The lather is great and abundant. 🫧 It's not as thick and creamy as alkaline cleansers, but the bubbles are fine and transparent, which was sufficient for cleansing. The mild slipperiness when rinsing is a bit of a downside, as it requires more thorough rinsing. However, considering the affordable price, this is an excellent value product. 🫶 The lemon-like fresh scent is also very pleasant. Those sensitive to fragrance may want to take note of this. ☀️ Recommendation This would be a great option for those with very oily skin who find regular cleansers too stripping, or for a light second cleanse after a heavy makeup removal. As a mild acidic cleanser, it's suitable for oily skin types who have struggled with the weak cleansing power of other gentle cleansers. It should also work well for other skin types without causing dryness. Sensitive skin users can also consider this, as the mild formula is gentler than alkaline cleansers.
ConsThe slippery feel characteristic of mildly acidic cleansers is somewhat present. 😭

Seeing my acne-prone skin made me feel upset, so I looked around and found that a mild acidic cleansing foam is good for small bumpy acne. I was worried that a mild acidic product might not cleanse well, but I felt reassured to purchase it since it contains exfoliating ingredients. The texture is a lightweight, soft gel type. It creates a gentle, creamy lather. The cleansing power is suitable for morning cleansing and as a second cleanse, but not overly strong. It rinses off cleanly without any residue or tightness. Advantages: 1. Mild acidity: Maintains the skin's pH balance, leaving the skin soothed and hydrated after cleansing. 2. Suitable for sensitive skin: The non-irritating formula works well for acne-prone, sensitive, and combination skin types. 3. Gentle exfoliation: Contains a small amount of BHA (betaine salicylate) for daily dead skin removal without over-exfoliating. 4. Refreshing finish: Perfect for use in the morning on oily skin, leaving the skin clean but not dry. Disadvantages: 1. May not remove heavy makeup thoroughly: It's better used as a second cleanse after an oil, water, or milk cleanser. 2. Scent: The scent is somewhat strong and may not suit everyone's preferences, though I personally liked it. 3. May not be suitable for very oily, acne-prone skin. Recommended for: - Those looking for a lightweight, gentle cleanser for morning use - Those with sensitive or acne-prone skin who need a mild acidic product - Those wanting a daily cleanser that minimizes skin irritation while providing gentle exfoliation - Those wanting to address small bumpy acneNot Recommended for: - Oily Skin - My husband has oily, acne-prone skin and found that after using this product, he didn't feel properly cleansed, and his oil production increased and he developed more acne. Definitely, the mild acidity of this product is not suitable for those with very oily, acne-prone skin.
ConsInsufficient for removing makeup residue • It may be insufficient for use alone for heavy makeup cleansing. It is suitable for use as a secondary cleansing step. (e.g., primary: cleansing oil, water, milk, etc., secondary: cleansing foam) Fragrance • It has a somewhat strong fragrance that may be divisive. I personally liked it. May not suit oily acne-prone skin.
