I loved the scent of centella. It seemed less irritating compared to other brands' products. Those with super sensitive skin might still experience some irritation, even with the soothing effects of centella! Apply the hydrating essence by patting it on, then follow with a scrub. This method reduces irritation and makes your skin feel much more comfortable. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinOct 10, 2022
The eco-friendly packaging helps alleviate the guilt when disposing of the plastic container after using up the product. While scrubs can be harsh on the skin, I used a small amount on my blemish-free face and didn't experience any particular irritation. I'll update my review after using the remaining product! The scent is somewhat herbal and natural - I liked it, but it might be a love-it-or-hate-it situation for others. I was shocked by the price! Considering this is the full-size product, I'm not sure I would have purchased it if I hadn't tried it as part of The Hwahae Testers. The packaging isn't the most convenient, so you'll have to put up with a bit of inconvenience. It would be great to transfer this into an empty jar-type cream container or a Lush black pot for easier use! - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinOct 10, 2022
Fragrance: You know those scented wooden pillows you sometimes find in saunas? Maybe cypress wood? It has a similar pleasant woody aroma! I absolutely love this kind of scent, but those who don't enjoy strong fragrances might not be fans. Texture: This is my first time trying a scrub, and while I knew what to expect, I was pleased with the abundance of firm granules! They're like tiny salt crystals, if that makes sense? When I used it to wash my face the other day, I could definitely feel it gently exfoliating my skin. However, I was careful not to scrub too hard as that might be counterproductive. As a novice, it's hard for me to make detailed comparisons. Quantity: I was surprised when the package arrived! It was just a palm-sized pack, so I thought it might be a single-use product. Of course, everyone's usage may vary, but as you can see in the photo, after using it twice and transferring the remainder to an empty container, there's still quite a bit left. Based on how much I use, I think it could easily last for three more applications. I might be using too little, as I don't apply it all over my face, just on areas with more dead skin cells (forehead, sides of nose, chin). Anyway, it's definitely not single-use and should last for at least two applications! Since I haven't used it extensively yet, it's hard to write about its effectiveness in removing dead skin cells. I suppose, like most products, consistent use is key. However, based on my initial testing, I can conclude that it seems to be of good quality! I wonder if they sell it in a larger size? - Hwahae UserOily SkinSensitive SkinOct 10, 2022
First off, I appreciate that it's a vegan product. The scent is also quite pleasant - it has a natural aroma that's not artificial or overpowering. It's a bit inconvenient that it doesn't come in its own container, so you have to buy one separately to store it. When I transferred it to a jar, I realized the amount was surprisingly small. While using it didn't cause any blemishes, I can't say I was particularly impressed. Considering the price, I probably wouldn't purchase it again. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinOct 10, 2022
The scent gives a healthy and luxurious feel, which I really like. While it may vary from person to person, I found it quite pleasant! I initially thought the amount was too small for the price, but I realized you don't need to use much each time. It's like a sticky honey texture, if you will, and it spreads well on the skin. It's fantastic that we're moving away from plastic packaging. I was initially concerned about recycling the paper, but after rinsing and drying it, those worries disappeared. Despite spreading well, it's still a scrub product with small particles, so it felt a bit thick for immediate rolling after cleansing. I couldn't use it right away because I didn't have a suitable container and had to make do with a glass jar for solid toothpaste. Make sure you have a container ready! (I searched online and found that the dedicated containers are incredibly expensive) When rolling, it works best if you add a little water. My skin felt hydrated until the next day! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 10, 2022
I liked that the packaging was made of paper. I transferred it to an empty medicine bottle I had at home. The scent wasn't artificial, but rather a pleasant herbal aroma. There were plenty of scrub particles in it. Given the abundance of particles, it felt quite abrasive when applying. While scrubbing after cleansing, I wondered, 'Is it okay to keep applying like this? It feels like it might irritate my skin.' It was that intense... (Though it didn't actually cause irritation in the end.) The effects aren't particularly dramatic. Of course, all skincare products need consistent use to show gradual results, but I found myself questioning if there were any real changes, especially considering the price. While the herbal scent is nice, it's a bit overpowering and reminds me of dishwashing liquid. If you really focus on the smell (haha), you can tell it's herbal, but it's quite strong. It's probably not good to use it too frequently. However, with continued use, I can see my skin texture improving slightly! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 10, 2022
Scent: As soon as you open the product, you're greeted with an intense centella leaf aroma. While the scent might be polarizing, I personally enjoyed it as it gave the impression of being rich in centella ingredients. Texture: It has a honey-like consistency. When you add even a little water, it lathers up and spreads smoothly. Exfoliation: It feels similar to store-bought exfoliators containing brown sugar or salt. After using the product, your skin feels silky smooth to the touch. On my skin, it felt slightly rough during application, but there was no redness or tingling sensation. As someone with super sensitive skin, the fact that I didn't experience any hives despite it being my first time using this product suggests that the ingredients are very gentle. The lack of packaging is the biggest drawback, but considering the environmental impact, I think it's a compromise worth making. The amount of product seems small for the price, but given that there's no separate container and it's a vegan product, using it up quickly might actually prevent the contents from spoiling. Still, it's quite expensive for a refill. While I'm very keen to repurchase, the price makes me hesitate quite a bit. How to use: 1. Clean the container thoroughly (Boiling is best, but I just washed it and wiped it with an alcohol swab) 2. Fill with the product 3. Apply the product to dry skin after cleansing 4. Wet your hands and gently massage your face to exfoliate (It will lather up at this point) - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinOct 10, 2022
I have super sensitive skin! First off, I was pleased and proud of the eco-friendly packaging that reduces waste. When I opened it, there was a scent that reminded me of herbs, traditional medicine, or something natural - it smelled healthy! I thought it was just for scrubbing, but when I added water, it lathered up nicely! It's great that it exfoliates and cleanses at the same time. After using it, my skin felt smooth and soft! I usually break out in blemishes just from changing skincare products due to my sensitive skin, but this didn't cause any! However, it did irritate my skin... it stung a bit and turned red. While the packaging reduces waste, I felt the amount was a bit much for a single use, which was disappointing. It might be better to store it in a reusable container or use it on both face and body at once! The granules were a bit large... so it irritated my face and I had to scrub very gently, but it still stung and turned red. I don't think I can use it often, maybe once every 1-2 weeks. It has a herbal or traditional medicine scent that might be hit or miss for some people. Using it in a reusable container could help avoid waste. I'm quite satisfied using it on my arms and legs, so I'll probably use it more on my body than my face! I would consider repurchasing this product. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinOct 9, 2022
This scrub has a gel-like texture with various shaped granules that you can feel. The natural oils leave your skin feeling moisturized and refreshed after use. It has a delightful, invigorating herbal scent that I personally love. While my face is very dry, I have overactive sebaceous glands on my chest and back, leading to body acne. So I've been using this product more on my body. The product not only exfoliates but also lathers, allowing you to adjust the water content for a gentler application. I love that I can customize it to my needs, which helps prevent skin irritation. I gently massaged it in circular motions on my nose, and I didn't find it too harsh. Compared to other products, this Centella scrub definitely leaves the skin softer and more hydrated. Overall, I'm really impressed with this product and continue to use it regularly. Since it's a refill product, I was a bit confused about what container to put it in. Those with super sensitive skin might want to be cautious when using this. Pro tip: Adjust the amount of water to control the intensity of exfoliation! You can use it gently or more vigorously depending on what your skin needs. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 9, 2022
1. Scent ●●●●○: Refreshing herbal aroma. The fragrance hits you as soon as you use the product, making a great first impression (it's a scent I personally love). 2. Application ●●●●○: Thick, creamy scrub gel texture. It spreads evenly on the skin without sliding off. Produces a rich lather. Contains small, irregularly sized particles that feel quite rough on the skin, despite their small size. This is because these tiny granules are incredibly hard - almost like sand. I recommend gently massaging it on your face with the foam. Sensitive skin may redden quickly. Be extra careful as the particles don't dissolve. I accidentally got one of these particles in my eye while cleansing... and it was absolute hell. Please be very careful, everyone. 3. Effectiveness ●●●●○: Quite good, I'd say. Unlike peeling products that visibly remove dead skin cells, it's hard to see the immediate effects with scrub products. However, after using this product and following up with skincare, I noticed my first essence (water-based) absorbed into my skin instantly, making me think 'Ah, it must have removed the dead skin cells well'. I usually apply Sidmool First Essence right after cleansing, patting it in 3 times. Normally, absorption slows down after the second application, but on the day I used this product, even the third layer of essence was quickly absorbed. <However, I gave it 4 stars because my skin didn't feel dramatically smooth to the touch after cleansing> 4. Repurchase Intent ●●●●○: Will consider buying when my current products run out. The season of dead skin cells and dryness is upon us, right? To survive this cold, dry season, we need to take care of our skin as well as bundle up and take supplements! The drier it gets, the faster skin keratinization occurs, making exfoliation essential. *Although the particles are rough and hard, this product produces rich foam, so if you use it carefully, it should be effective for dead skin cell management. *And personally, I'm inclined to buy it because I love the scent so much. *It's sold in a pack rather than a bottle, showing consideration for the environment. ※This is my first review as a Hwahae Tester. ※Please note that this is my personal experience after use. 1. The particles are rough 2. Being sold in a pack format means there's a risk of damage during shipping and the inconvenience of having to transfer it to a container 3. The quantity is quite small - I put this product in an empty toner pad container and it barely covered the bottom.. It's really not much (I thought maybe they sent this small amount because it's for The Hwahae Testers, but apparently not..) 1. Create plenty of foam 2. Gently massage in circular motions, *definitely avoiding the eye and mouth areas 3. Don't dry your face completely after cleansing (it can get too dry) 4. Apply at least 3 layers of skincare. (It absorbs quickly after exfoliation)
