Gentle Being slightly acidic and gel-type, this product caused no irritation to my skin. That doesn't mean its cleansing effectiveness is poor - I was actually surprised that my skin felt moisturized after washing! 2. Dead skin cell removal? Maybe it's because of the Houttuynia Cordata leaf powder, but it helped with gentle exfoliation! I didn't even need to use separate toner pads. 3. Blemishes I had a huge pimple coming up on my chin, but thanks to this, it disappeared.
ConsI felt a bit unsure about using it alone to remove heavy makeup, so I used cleansing oil for the first cleanse before using this. It didn't seem to remove color cosmetics like mascara very well.
Tip1. If you want to thoroughly remove makeup but double cleansing is too drying, this is great as a second cleanser (it's not drying at all). 2. In my opinion, there's no better product for a light morning cleanse than this.

It contains houttuynia cordata extract along with BHA and PHA, which helps care for sebum and dead skin cells. The dense, fine foam effectively cleanses pore-clogging impurities, and when applied to the skin, the soft lather feels comforting. What's great is that after cleansing, my skin doesn't feel tight like it used to. Since using this product, the finish is excellent - my skin feels clean yet maintains hydration. I highly recommend this low pH cleanser, especially during the cold season we're experiencing now.
ConsNo matter how much I rubbed with this cleanser, it didn't remove my makeup at all. Waterproof products absolutely won't come off with just one cleanse! Overall assessment: Deep cleansing in one go? NO Pore tightening? YES

Scent: I'm not quite sure what this scent is... Houttuynia cordata maybe? To me, it had a strong scent reminiscent of dish soap. Texture: It's definitely a gel-like foam! It contains what seems like Houttuynia cordata powder particles. While the lather isn't as rich as regular foam cleansers, it's sufficient for a satisfying cleanse. Experience: As someone with dry skin in winter, I often feel tightness after washing, but not with this! Despite being a gel, it cleansed well - better than I expected! Since it contains Houttuynia cordata, known for its skin-soothing properties, I plan to use it consistently to discover more benefits!
ConsI usually wear heavy eye makeup, and I don't think this would be effective in removing intense makeup. It seems more suitable for cleansing bare skin... If you already have a foam cleanser, you probably won't need two. I haven't noticed any significant differences in terms of exfoliation or skin-soothing effects yet! While I'm not usually sensitive to scents, the dish soap-like smell was a bit off-putting. However, given the good ingredients, I'll likely continue using it despite this.
TipThis would be great for a light morning cleanse or for washing your face when you're at home without makeup!

While product effectiveness is crucial, I believe packaging is equally important, and this one totally hit the mark for a simplicity enthusiast like me! ⭐️Texture⭐️ It contains tiny particles, which initially made me worry it might be harsh. But wow, it's so gentle you can barely feel them! Yet it still manages to care for pores and exfoliate dead skin cells effectively. After cleansing, my face feels incredibly smooth! ⭐️Pore Care⭐️ As mentioned, it's gentle but those tiny particles work wonders for exfoliation and pore care! Just two days after I started using it, I noticed my nose area looked noticeably cleaner when I applied makeup. It felt like the cleanser washed away blackheads and filled in my pores. If you're stressed about your pores and want an all-in-one solution while cleansing, I highly recommend this!
Cons⭐️Cleansing Effectiveness⭐️ Don't get me wrong, the cleansing power isn't bad at all! However, the product description claims it can cleanse in just one go, so I put it to the test. I applied waterproof eyeliner and mascara on the back of my hand and tried my best to remove it with this cleanser, but it didn't budge at all. So, you definitely can't rely on this alone for a one-step cleanse - make sure to do a thorough first cleanse! Personally, I always do a 2-3 step cleanse anyway, so it's not an issue for me if it doesn't remove everything in one go! Overall, I really love this product. Although I got to try it through a giveaway event this time, I'm 100% willing to purchase it with my own money!

I have combination dehydrated skin, occasional blemishes depending on environmental factors, and my skin tone is #22! I prefer to leave reviews for skincare products after extended use, so I'll update this review as I continue using it. For now, I'll focus on the aspects highlighted in the product description. ✔ Packaging This has to be the trendiest, most stylish packaging I've received! Personally, I love it. As they say, good looks make you want to use it more! The design would look great in a minimalist bathroom. The formula is uniquely thin with little granules. It's almost fragrance-free, with a slight silicone-like scent, probably due to the absence of added fragrances. I found it pleasant! ✔ Fine Foam Compared to other low pH cleansing foams, this one lathers up nicely when rubbed with hands, making for a gentle cleanse. There are small brown granules in the foam, but they're not harsh at all and barely noticeable. Even those with super sensitive skin should be able to use this comfortably! ✔ Blemish Care Coincidentally, I used this product during my time of the month, and surprisingly, I didn't experience any breakouts like usual. A small pimple that had appeared quickly subsided. While I can't say for certain it's due to this product, it definitely didn't make things worse, so it seems to have some effect on blemish care. ✔ Hydration After cleansing with this foam, my skin felt less tight and dry compared to other cleansers. Even when I didn't apply toner for a while, my skin felt less dry.
Cons✔ Makeup Deep Cleansing The product description emphasized makeup removal, but I'm not convinced. In my tests, it absolutely couldn't remove waterproof makeup. It also struggled with regular foundation. It seems ineffective for makeup removal, unfortunately. You can't use this alone for cleansing makeup. ✔ Sebum Control Perhaps due to the short period of use, I didn't notice any overall reduction in sebum production. ✔ Smooth Finish This aspect could be either a pro or a con depending on personal preference. I personally prefer a squeaky clean finish. This product leaves that typical low pH foam smooth (?) finish. Some might perceive it as moisturizing, but it really comes down to individual preference.
TipAs a low pH foam, its cleansing effectiveness felt a bit lacking. However, it seems to have some positive effects on blemishes. Instead of using it to remove makeup in the evening, I mainly used it in the morning to wash away impurities. If you're someone who needs that squeaky clean feeling after removing makeup, I'd recommend using this for a light morning cleanse like I did.
