As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to small bumps along the hairline and forehead, plus occasional cystic acne, I've always steered clear of slightly acidic products. They tend to cause a breakout explosion! I stumbled upon this gem without knowing its pH level. It has a unique, smooth texture - less slippery than typical low pH cleansers, but still distinctly silky. That's when I realized it was mildly acidic. I committed to using it twice daily for two weeks. What a pleasant surprise! While Innisfree's Bija Foam Cleanser left my skin squeaky clean but parched in winter, this Lactoderm cleanser doesn't cause any tightness post-wash. Even with a light skincare routine, I didn't feel the need for extra moisturizer. The best part? It seems to be working wonders on those pesky small bumps - they've noticeably diminished since I started using it. I'm thrilled to have discovered this product and plan to make it my go-to cleanser for all seasons except summer.
ConsFirst-time users might be taken aback by the lack of abundant foam. Being a mildly acidic product, it doesn't produce the rich lather typical of alkaline cleansers.

Product characteristics: 1. The foam isn't very rich But I don't feel that more foam necessarily means better, so this didn't bother me What I liked: 1. Less drying It's definitely less drying than the Witch's Potion one. However, if I don't apply skincare immediately after washing, my skin still feels dry Still, before, my skin felt dry even after applying cream, but with this, that feeling is reduced 2. Almost fragrance-free There's no unpleasant scent and... well, I liked that it's fragrance-free
ConsThere aren't any downsides haha... Well, maybe the unfamiliarity with the brand? To be honest, even for basic products, brand recognition seems to have a big impact on purchasing decisions Looking at Hwahae reviews, it seems many people prefer rich foam. Those people might find this disappointing

It effectively removed light makeup like eyebrow products and sunscreen!
ConsI typically use a foam maker for my cleansing routine. Even with the same foam maker, this product doesn't create as rich or abundant lather as my usual cleanser, which means I end up using more product. That's a bit disappointing.
TipSince this cleanser doesn't produce a rich lather on its own, I recommend using a bubble maker to create a nice foam for better cleansing effectiveness!

No skin tightness I loved that it leaves a moisturized feeling, with almost no tightness after cleansing. 2. Fragrance-free As someone extremely sensitive to scents, I was most pleased to discover this product is nearly fragrance-free. 3. Ingredients My skin didn't become red or itchy, and I felt I could trust and use it confidently due to its gentle ingredients.
ConsWhile not exactly a drawback, it doesn't dispense easily unless you squeeze quite hard. The foam isn't particularly rich, and its cleansing effectiveness doesn't seem exceptional. It can remove light makeup like sunscreen, but it might struggle with more stubborn products like mascara.

Ingredients: The ingredients are good, and houttuynia cordata is beneficial for acne-prone skin, so this product worked well for me. Hydration: True to its name as a hydrating foam cleanser, there was almost no tightness after cleansing. Unlike many foam cleansers that leave the skin feeling squeaky clean but dry, this one didn't have that effect.
ConsCleansing Effectiveness: I personally prefer a slightly more thorough cleanse, and it feels a bit lacking for evening use after wearing makeup. The foam isn't particularly rich. However, this makes it very suitable as a morning cleanser!
TipRecommendation: - Ideal for dry skin & as a morning cleanser

ConsThe lather didn't feel as rich, so when rubbing it in my hands, it felt less satisfying. Other than that, it was gentle enough that it didn't cause any blemishes and felt fine overall, so I didn't notice many drawbacks.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst off, I really appreciated that it's almost fragrance-free! While its cleansing effectiveness isn't strong enough to remove lip products, eyeliner, or mascara, I'm satisfied using it as a second cleanse or to wash off oil in the evening. The foam cleanser applies mildly, so those with oily skin might find it suitable for morning use. However, if you have dry skin, it could be a bit drying, so I recommend following up immediately with toner and a hydrating moisturizer. I also like that it has good ingredients! Rather than having clear-cut pros and cons, it seems to be a product that most people can use without issues.
ConsIt doesn't immediately produce rich foam. Compared to other cleansing foams, the lather is somewhat less abundant. I even tried using a foam maker, but it still didn't create a luxurious lather, which was a bit disappointing. Since it's mildly acidic, it doesn't remove lip products or eyeliner effectively, which is a downside. Nevertheless, it's perfect as a second cleanser!

I was worried it might not spread well due to its heaviness, but it lathers up nicely when mixed with water, making it easy to create foam. My previous cleanser was so heavy that it was hard to work into a lather even with water, so I had to spread it all over my palms with my fingers before applying it to my face. This one felt much more comfortable to use. Scent: It seems to be nearly fragrance-free. To be honest, my allergies make it hard to smell things clearly, but while unscented is good, I wonder if a refreshing scent that clears the sinuses might have been nice? Then again, fragrance isn't really important for a cleanser, so it doesn't matter much. Ingredients: Before I received this product, I had small blemishes around my nose and cheeks, but they've calmed down. While everyone's skin type and condition are different, maybe because it doesn't contain harmful ingredients, I didn't experience any tightness or tingling. Feel: I usually have to rush through my skincare routine after cleansing because my skin feels so tight, but that wasn't necessary with this. My skin felt noticeably hydrated. However, I felt like something was missing, so I found it worked well as a second cleanse after using soap for my first cleanse. * I liked that no product residue was left on the cap after use. You do need to squeeze a bit to get the product out, but it doesn't require too much force and dispenses just the right amount for me.
ConsScent: I'm not sure if there's anything particularly disappointing. I can't tell if it's truly unscented, but I think a clean fragrance might be nice? This is just my personal preference though. Texture: Because it's on the thicker side, it doesn't produce an abundance of rich foam that makes you go 'Wow!' But it's not like you'd think, 'What's this? Why isn't it foaming?' either. I'm currently using a cleansing foam from Daiso to help with lathering. When I foam it in my palms, sometimes I wonder if I didn't use enough product. It does foam up more on the face than in the hands, but it could use some help. If you have a foaming net, it might be good to use it together with this cleanser. * The cap is slightly harder to open compared to other products I've used before. You need to apply some force to squeeze out the contents. It seems like a product that requires a bit more effort to use!

After cleansing with it, there's no deep dryness and my skin feels so soft~ I love how I can feel the softness while rinsing off the foam after washing! The texture is a typical creamy foam cleanser, and it comes in a tube with a flip-top lid, making it easy to squeeze out without any mess! I love that it's almost fragrance-free~ There's a slight soapy scent, but it's not unpleasant at all! As a mom, I'm hesitant to use scented products, so this nearly unscented one is great for me~ Since my baby touches my face every day, I hardly wear makeup, so the cleansing effectiveness is satisfactory for me~ It works well for me, a mom with dry skin, and I feel safe using it thanks to its gentle ingredients and lack of strong fragrance~
ConsIt doesn't produce a rich lather~ I rub it between my palms to create foam and use it. Since I don't wear makeup, I'm satisfied! If you prefer a rich lather, you might need to use a separate foaming net to be satisfied~
TipWhen using, quickly apply the foam to your face after creating it, as the bubbles deflate quickly~

For skincare, I layer multiple light-textured products and use cleansers that don't cause tightness. - Super sensitive skin My skin is so sensitive that even slightly unfavorable ingredients can immediately cause blemishes, and products with high oil content can lead to acne-like breakouts overnight. [Cleansing Routine] Normally, I cleanse with a gentle natural soap. When wearing makeup, I do a double cleanse - first with cleansing oil, followed by a cleansing foam. ----------------------------------------- [A great daily staple!] I love that there's no skin tightness after cleansing, thanks to its moisturizing finish. I'm using it for my morning cleanse as it seems perfect for a light morning wash! Personally, I appreciate that it's fragrance-free, and the gentle ingredients alone are a tremendous advantage.
Cons[Gentle but Weak Cleansing Power] The texture is somewhat like conditioner...? While it's soft, it's surprisingly thick when squeezing out the cleansing foam, requiring some effort. The lather feels light and doesn't produce a rich foam, which was a bit disappointing. Perhaps due to its gentleness, the cleansing power isn't strong, and it doesn't seem suitable for removing makeup. If you do use it, it's definitely necessary as a second cleanse!
TipIt seems perfect for a light morning cleanse! Personally, I found it worked well even when I cleansed with this product before applying makeup.
