It seems to remove makeup effectively (though I can't speak for mascara as I don't use it). The scent reminds me of something that would repel mosquitoes. It gently dissolves makeup, and when I feel some texture around my nose area, I make sure to massage it thoroughly. This helps reduce the appearance of blackheads.
ConsWhen removing makeup, I felt the product was a bit too rich in texture. It causes a tingling sensation. Initially, my entire face reacted, but now I only get blemishes in certain areas. As a result, I'm diligently applying skincare products with cica ingredients. The spatula tends to detach easily.

When I first opened it, it looked a bit solid, so I thought it might spread like slightly hardened Vaseline. But I was surprised by how smoothly it scooped out! As soon as it touches your face, it melts gently on your skin. - Scent: It has exactly the charcoal scent you'd expect from a charcoal cleansing balm. A neutral charcoal fragrance. - Cleansing effectiveness: It was better at cleansing than I expected! I used it after removing eye makeup with a remover, but it quickly dissolved the leftover mascara residue and eyeliner that the remover didn't get.
Cons- While there's no residue, because the texture is so soft, it feels a bit slippery. You need to rinse it off more thoroughly than an oil cleanser. That was slightly disappointing for me. Other than that, I'm satisfied.
TipI always do a thorough 3-step cleanse: makeup remover, cleansing oil, then cleansing foam. Although this product says double cleansing isn't necessary, I still do at least two steps! I replaced the remover and oil steps with this cleansing balm, then followed up with a cleansing foam for a thorough cleanse. It left my skin feeling clean and refreshed! This was my first time trying a cleansing balm, and I think it was a good experiment.

After cleansing, there's no lingering smell, and even during use, the scent isn't particularly noticeable as good or bad. What's fascinating is how this solid product instantly melts into an oil-type texture the moment you apply it to your face - it's truly amazing! As for pore cleansing, I found it quite effective. Honestly, I don't have many blackheads to begin with, but after using this, I felt like my skin was even cleaner somehow.
ConsUsing a spoon to scoop out the product makes it a bit tricky to control the amount. It does get used up pretty quickly! Oh, and I noticed some reviews mentioned finding granules in the product - is that normal? I'm not sure if I experienced that...
TipMy routine is to apply this while showering, after using hair treatments. I scoop out a generous spoonful and apply it to my dry face, then massage it thoroughly. I rinse first with lukewarm water, then finish with cool water. Some people mention double cleansing, but since my skin tends to be on the dry side, I skip that step. Even without it, I haven't experienced any blemishes, and it seems to have actually helped with hydration.

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.ProsTexture: I've used many cleansing milks and oils, but this is my first time trying a balm format! It's creamier than I expected and melts nicely on the skin, making it easy to spread. Scent: It has a pleasant cleansing fragrance that's not overwhelming. While it could have been fine unscented, the subtle aroma is quite nice! Application: Using the spoon method isn't as inconvenient as I thought, and the balm maintains its form well. I like that I can use it up completely, unlike pump bottles. Cleansing Effectiveness: When you melt the balm and massage it on your skin, it creates a nice glide. It removes makeup effectively and emulsifies well! The finish isn't drying either. Skin Type: I have oily skin prone to blemishes. For my skin type, the balm texture might feel a bit richer than oil cleansers. However, it didn't cause any issues with my blemish-prone areas. I even feel like my pores might have gotten smaller!
ConsSince you need to scoop out the balm for each use, it's not easy to control the amount, so it might run out quickly. I prefer a squeaky clean finish, so when I used this product alone, it left a slightly slippery feeling. I followed up with a cleansing foam. The after-feel might be a matter of personal preference. It might be too rich for those with oily skin due to its high oil content! It would probably suit those with dry skin better. While the ingredients list could be improved, it didn't cause any skin irritation, so I plan to continue using it.
TipIt's beneficial to emulsify and massage the product on your skin once more with warm water.

The balm-like texture felt gentle and non-irritating on my skin, which was the best part for me. The cleansing effectiveness was also satisfactory - it removed base makeup and eyeliner thoroughly.
ConsIt's unfortunate that it contains potential allergens. Personally, I found the strong artificial fragrance a bit off-putting, as I'm not a fan of intense scents.
TipThe Hwahae Testers might want to consider a fragrance-free version for those with super sensitive skin.

It seems to really excel at removing impurities from pores. Follow up with a foam cleanser for perfect results!
ConsThe size is a bit small, which is disappointing. Compared to other balms, it leaves a slight residue around my eye area after one use - though that might just be my eyeliner being stubborn. Interestingly enough, it removes mascara completely. Despite this, I'm still satisfied!

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, since it's a charcoal-based product, I had high hopes before using it. Although I've never tried a cleansing balm before, I was pleasantly surprised! It removed makeup better than I expected, so I didn't need to use another product afterward - that was the best part for me. The scent is quite strong, which might be polarizing, but I personally liked it. However, if you're sensitive to fragrances, you might want to skip this one. The included spatula was a nice touch, making application more hygienic and convenient.
ConsThe packaging seems a bit cheap - the lid doesn't close properly, and the spatula keeps falling off, which is a bit annoying. I wish the spatula would stay in place better. Also, as someone with strawberry nose, I didn't see much effect on my blackheads. It didn't do much for my blemishes either! I had high hopes for this, so I'm disappointed enough to deduct a point. Lastly, the product leaves a slightly oily residue, so it might not be enough to end your cleansing routine with just this. I'd recommend following up with a foam cleanser.
TipI recommend using the Bifesta Cleansing Balm as your first cleanse, followed by a foam cleanser for your second cleanse. This will help remove any residual oiliness. Due to its rich texture, this product might be more suitable for those with dry skin rather than oily skin.

Scent: Tea tree? Reminds me of a dermatologist's face pack - personally, I'm a fan
ConsI was hoping for a texture that glides on smoothly like sorbet, but it felt heavy and suffocating like a cleansing oil, which was disappointing Didn't feel like it was particularly effective at balancing oil production Felt extremely dry after washing, so I wouldn't recommend it for those with dry skin!

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.ProsAfter an incredibly exhausting day, I was debating whether to even bother removing my makeup. But when I applied this cleansing balm to my face, it felt like pure bliss. As I massaged it in, the balm released a scent reminiscent of a professional massage oil. The more I rubbed, the warmer it became, creating a soothing sensation that seemed to melt away the day's fatigue. Though it's called a cleansing balm, it felt more like a healing massage treatment. Another great aspect was how easily it emulsified with water during rinsing, leaving no residue behind. Unlike some cleansing balms or oils that can leave a lingering film or an uncomfortable feeling, this one left my skin feeling wonderfully moisturized.
ConsThe product is absolutely fantastic, but there's one small drawback... it's a shame it's made in Japan.
TipThey say there's no need for a second cleanse!

Unlike other cleansing balms where it's often difficult to store the spatula, Bifesta's design conveniently fits it into the lid. As someone who typically wears light makeup, I found the cleansing effectiveness satisfactory. It's not stiff and melts easily with body heat, making it comfortable to massage onto the skin.
ConsI prefer a squeaky clean feel after cleansing without any residue, but this balm leaves an oily sensation as it melts - perhaps due to added oils. I wouldn't recommend it for those who dislike residual feelings. It might not be an issue for those who double cleanse. The ingredients don't seem particularly high-quality. While I didn't experience any blemishes and wasn't too concerned, I'd advise those with super sensitive skin to check the ingredients before use.
TipMake sure to follow up with hydration after cleansing, and it would be beneficial to add nourishing skincare products to your routine.
