Here's my experience: - Not overly drying after cleansing - Lathers up well - Overall, it's a decent product to use Lately, I've been going out with just sunscreen on, so for people like me, this cleanser works pretty effectively. Some products can make your face feel burning or dry after washing, but I didn't really notice those issues with this one. I used the product without any major complaints.
Cons- The product's scent is a big no for me... this is its biggest drawback. The most significant downside is the smell, which I suspect is from houttuynia cordata. It was quite off-putting... It smells a bit like detergent, and I disliked the fragrance so much that next time I choose a houttuynia cordata product, I'll definitely check the scent before buying... While fragrance preferences can vary, this one was not for me. The scent from the product felt too strong. - You need to squeeze the tube hard When the product was new, it was somewhat manageable, but after using it for a while, I thought I'd have to cut open the tube. You need to apply more force than expected when squeezing the tube.

Here's what I liked about this product: 1. Ingredients: The mildly acidic pH and added fermented lactobacillus make for gentle ingredients. I didn't experience any skin sensitivity or blemishes while using it. 2. Hydrating without drying: Honestly, I'm not sure if I should call it hydration or just a slippery feeling. But I have one criterion from my days of searching for the perfect foam cleanser: if my skin feels soft while rinsing off the foam, it's a pass. This product did exactly that! There's no dryness after cleansing either. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. It leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturized without any tightness after washing.
Cons1. Scent: There's a slight detergent-like smell, but I've noticed this is common in low pH cleansing foams. Those with super sensitive skin might want to avoid it. Personally, I don't pay much attention to scents, so it's fine for me. 2. Cleansing power: Like most (especially low pH) cleansing foams, this is meant for second cleansing. It won't remove mascara or waterproof products, so make sure to use it as part of a double cleansing routine!
Tip1. I highly recommend using a foam net! These pH-balanced foams don't lather up well on their own, which can make cleansing less enjoyable. Definitely use a foam maker to work up a good lather for washing. 2. I also received Lactoderm's Houttuynia Cordata Moisture Cream as part of The Hwahae Testers program. Using these two products together works really well for my skin - they seem to complement each other perfectly! I'd recommend this combination for those with combination dehydrated skin. Try pairing this foam cleanser with the cream for best results!

My oversight for not checking properly! Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try for the sake of this review. I used the Lactoderm low pH cleanser in the morning and my usual mildly alkaline one in the evening before bed. The positives were that it lathers well and isn't irritating, resulting in less tightness after cleansing. As a bonus, my mom, who has dry skin, tried it and loved how it left her skin feeling moisturized rather than dry after washing. It seems to be a great match for those with dry skin.
Cons1. The artificial fragrance. It has a somewhat medicinal smell. 2. The packaging material feels a bit flimsy.
TipFor oily skin types, I'd recommend a mildly alkaline cleanser.

Some people find it inconvenient to squeeze out, but I didn't find it particularly troublesome. Ingredients: I was impressed by the inclusion of probiotics, and I also appreciate the presence of Houttuynia cordata, which I often prefer in cleansing products. The gentle ingredients were great as they didn't irritate my skin. Overall, it's a solid, everyday-friendly product. The abundant foam feels delightful when massaging it onto the face!
ConsScent: Well... It's supposed to be unscented, but there's a distinct medicinal smell that I found a bit overwhelming. Since I prefer cleansers with pleasant fragrances, this aspect was disappointing. After-feel: It leaves a somewhat slippery finish. As someone with an oily T-zone, I prefer a more matte feel after cleansing, so this was a letdown. However, those with dry skin might love it!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, I'm writing this review after using the product for about a week since winning it. First off, the packaging is absolutely adorable! The cute design made me want to use it right away. The consistency of the product is just right - not too runny or too thick, making it easy to control the amount you use. What really surprised me was how well it removes makeup! I didn't expect much cleansing power from a gentle cleanser, but it impressively removed my makeup base with just one cleanse. (Of course, it doesn't completely remove eye makeup, so you'll still need a separate remover for that.)
ConsThe scent was a bit disappointing. It has a faint detergent-like smell that might not appeal to those sensitive to fragrances. As someone with very dry skin, I experienced some tightness and a feeling of my skin cracking on the inner parts of my face for the first few days after cleansing. I was puzzled because it's marketed as a hydrating cleanser. Thinking it might be an adjustment period, I decided to continue using it for a week. The tightness did disappear after about a week, but I still didn't feel any significant moisturizing effect, which was a bit disappointing.
TipIt might be a bit drying for morning cleansing! I'd recommend using it in the evening to remove makeup, followed immediately by your skincare routine for best results.

It definitely leaves skin more hydrated than other foam cleansers! Highly recommended for those looking for a morning cleanser for bare skin. However, those with extremely dry skin might still find it a bit drying! - Soothing: I used it for about a week! While the soothing effect isn't dramatically intense, it noticeably reduced redness on my skin! - After-feel: As mentioned earlier, there's a hydrated feeling post-cleanse. Those who prefer that squeaky-clean feeling from deep cleansing might find this lacking! However, it leaves your skin feeling like it's retaining moisture, with a subtle exfoliating toner-like sensation.
Cons- Scent: It has that characteristic herbal scent of Houttuynia cordata products... but it's slightly artificial, which might be hit or miss for some people! However, even though I'm sensitive to fragrances, I found it tolerable! - Lather: As someone who doesn't use a foam net, I didn't get much lather when rubbing it between my hands. Most of the foam disappeared when applied to the face, so those who prefer a rich, foamy cleanser might not like this.
TipFor those who don't invest much in skincare, this cleanser could be sufficient for a bare-faced routine followed by just toner, or toner and emulsion!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is like a regular cream, nothing too special. It's not overly runny or thick. Being slightly acidic, it doesn't leave my face feeling tight after cleansing, which I really appreciate. It also lathers up well for a low pH cleanser. After use, I didn't notice any particular reactions - it feels gentle and non-irritating. However, if you have super sensitive skin, it's always best to do a patch test just in case! As a low pH product, it's great for morning cleansing, on makeup-free days, or as a second cleanse. Overall, I'm quite satisfied!
ConsI didn't really notice any significant downsides! The only thing is that being a cleansing foam, it's not suitable for removing makeup as a first cleanse. Oh, and it has a slight medicinal scent which might be a bit off-putting for some.

Skin type: Sensitive, Combination Hydration - Even after cleansing, my skin felt smooth and not overly dry, which was great. Ingredients - With no concerning ingredients out of 20 listed and no potential allergens, I was satisfied with the gentle formulation. Houttuynia Cordata - Since the mask-wearing era began, my sensitive skin became irritated. I've been using products with Houttuynia Cordata, which has greatly improved my skin. This cleanser contains it, making it suitable for sensitive skin without causing irritation. Lacto-fit Probiotics - We know how important probiotics are when consumed, so imagine how beneficial they are in a cleanser! Compared to other foam cleansers, this one left my skin noticeably more hydrated after washing. Soft Foam - It produces a milky, gentle lather easily. Texture - The consistency is slightly thick, like yogurt. It feels unique compared to other foam cleansers. Packaging - I liked the squeeze tube design, which makes it easy to dispense the product.
ConsScent - It has a slight medicinal smell, reminiscent of ointment. Smoothness - Those who prefer a squeaky-clean feeling after washing might have mixed feelings about this cleanser.
TipDryness - This foam cleanser seems particularly suitable for those with dry skin types, especially during seasons when skin tends to feel more dehydrated.

As someone with adult acne and combination dehydrated skin, I'm quite particular about ingredients due to my blemish-prone skin. After checking the Hwahae ingredient analysis, I was pleased to see that it contained no particularly harmful components and was gentle overall. I was also impressed by the generous size when I first received it. During use, I was satisfied that even a small amount of the cleansing foam created a good lather when mixed with water. As I have oily skin, I prefer a thorough, squeaky-clean feeling after washing. I appreciated that this Houttuynia Cordata Moisture Cleansing Foam didn't leave any slippery residue.
ConsI never quite got used to the artificial fragrance, which made cleansing a bit challenging every time. Also, as others have mentioned, while it does lather well, the foam seems to clump together slightly. If that makes sense... It doesn't create the rich, abundant lather you might see in cosmetic advertisements, which was a bit disappointing.

I found that after using cleansing water with a cotton pad for the first step, there were still some residues around the nose area. However, when I followed up with this cleansing foam, it removed everything thoroughly!
ConsAs a mildly acidic product, the user experience might be hit or miss for some people. Don't expect a rich lather (I'd say it's about 80% of what you'd get from a regular cleansing foam). When rinsing it off, you might think, 'Oh, it feels a bit slippery...?' But I suppose that means it's less likely to irritate the skin! Personally, I'm not a fan of the scent - it reminds me of crayons or detergent, which is a bit disappointing.
