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.

It's so gentle you can use it without any worries! The scent is quite subtle, almost fragrance-free, so it's unlikely to cause any discomfort. While I haven't tested it on heavy makeup, it does an excellent job removing my everyday look. It works hard to cleanse effectively without irritation!
ConsGiven its rich texture, using it too frequently might potentially lead to blemishes for some skin types. It's something to keep in mind if you have sensitive skin or are prone to breakouts.

The subtle scent means it's unlikely to be polarizing. Texture: While it looks like a solid balm, it has a soft, buttery consistency. Performance: The cleansing effectiveness is phenomenal... I applied heavy foundation, eyebrow pencil, and lipstick, then removed it all - it just melted away effortlessly. It cleanses incredibly gently without any irritation, dissolving makeup quickly and efficiently. It's truly amazing! Although I received this as part of The Hwahae Testers program, I'd definitely repurchase it with my own money once I finish it. Even with super sensitive skin, it allows for gentle, non-irritating cleansing...! It's absolutely fantastic, I highly recommend it!
ConsThere are no downsides... truly none...! I really can't think of any... I just recommend it wholeheartedly! Actually, the only slight inconvenience is that there's no place to store the spatula.
TipYou don't need to use a large amount - a small quantity is sufficient for thorough cleansing! However, if you're wearing heavy eye makeup, make sure to cleanse thoroughly.

I have some texture in the T-zone and occasionally get inflamed acne. I was fortunate to be selected as a Hwahae Tester for this product! I'll provide an honest review that I hope will help those with similar skin types. Product description: Texture: It's not as thick as I expected, but spreads smoothly. It melts quickly and feels like it's absorbing well into the skin. Scent: To me, it has a hint of aromatherapy or lavender oil! It's not unscented, so those sensitive to fragrances should take note. How I used it: I tried this product on days when I wore makeup. I used this as my first cleanse, followed by a foaming cleanser to finish. Application: It applies very smoothly and melts quickly when massaged into the face, making cleansing quite easy. Unlike many balms that can be very thick and hard to melt, this one is different! Results: I tend to get a lot of blackheads and whiteheads in my T-zone, but after using this product for a few days, I noticed fewer whiteheads forming around my nose! It also removes makeup thoroughly, so I'm very satisfied with its cleansing effectiveness. (While my blackheads remained, the whiteheads definitely decreased - I've attached a photo of the area around my nose to show this.)
ConsBefore using this product, I was hoping it would eliminate the blackheads on my nose and inner cheeks, but they were still there - maybe mine are just too stubborn! Also, something in the ingredients didn't agree with my skin, causing redness and a tingling sensation. While it applies well and cleanses effectively, it's unfortunate that it doesn't suit my skin. I think it might be due to the PEG and phenoxyethanol in the ingredients. It would be great if the formula could be improved!
TipI highly recommend this cleansing balm for those who wear makeup frequently, as it removes it gently yet thoroughly! (Except for those with super sensitive skin) If you have oily skin, make sure to follow up with a second cleanse!

It's my first time using one, and I thought it would be thick, but it applies so smoothly. It feels amazing! It's like getting a professional makeup removal at a spa. I used to scrub my face too hard while cleansing, which I knew wasn't good, but this melts away so effortlessly that I naturally cleanse more gently now. Oh, and I love how they've designed the packaging. Usually, I worry about where to put the spatula with jar-type products, but this one cleverly attaches to the inner lid. It really shows they've thought about the consumer experience.
ConsThere's nothing I disliked about this product. I didn't experience any blemishes, and I even felt like my complexion became brighter.
TipWhen you apply it to your skin, it melts away so effortlessly that I find myself naturally massaging more gently.

I'm a member of The Hwahae Testers with dry and super sensitive skin. ⭐Texture The texture surprised me! It looked quite solid at first glance, but it's actually smoother than expected. It's softer than a sorbet-like consistency. It melts wonderfully with body heat, allowing for a gentle roll-on application that cleanses effectively. I love that it comes with a stick that fits into the lid for storage - so much more convenient than those double-lid designs! ⭐Ingredients / Cleansing Effectiveness I was hoping for better ingredients... there are a few concerning ones, which is disappointing. As for cleansing effectiveness, I tested it on mascara and eyeliner that usually require eye makeup remover or cleansing oil. It removed them very well, which was satisfying! The product emulsifies nicely too. Even if it got in my eyes while cleansing, it only blurred my vision slightly without causing any tingling. Being a cleansing balm, it does a great job of dissolving sebum in the pores, leaving my skin feeling smooth after double cleansing. ⭐Scent The scent is slightly herbal...? It seems to be an aromatic fragrance in the product, but it's not overpowering - just a subtle, pleasant aroma.
ConsThe price of 20,000₩ for 100ml feels a bit steep... I think I'd choose products with better value for money and ingredients over this one...
TipI recommend following up with a cleansing foam for a double cleanse, as this product alone might leave your skin feeling a bit rich.

The initially firm texture melts smoothly onto the skin, making each cleanse a delightful experience! The included spoon is a convenient touch. It effortlessly removes my daily makeup, and I've noticed a reduction in both the texture on my nose and blackheads.
ConsI'm used to the slippery feeling after using oil cleansers, but this one feels even more slippery. As a result, I followed up with a gentle foam cleanser for a double cleanse.
TipFor best results, apply a generous amount to avoid irritation, massage it in, then add a bit of water to emulsify before rinsing. You'll definitely see a reduction in blackheads and skin texture!

I was quite surprised when I first opened it - imagine my shock seeing black contents in a yellow container! While it feels solid, it applies smoothly on the skin and does an excellent job at removing makeup thoroughly. It even seems to manage dead skin cells a bit. The next morning when I wash my face, I feel like my skin texture has become noticeably smoother. I'm truly satisfied with this product.
ConsI find the quantity a bit disappointing as it feels somewhat small. The formula is quite firm, which sometimes causes the spoon to bounce out. Other than that, I have no complaints.

No slippery residue left behind 2. Doesn't cause blemishes 3. Excellent cleansing effectiveness 4. No dryness or deep dryness 5. Smooth application It's interesting how everyone's reviews align - they all mention how it looks hard but feels soft. I guess we all think alike! Despite its incredibly solid appearance, it scoops out easily with a spoon and applies smoothly. The cleansing power is so good that double cleansing seems unnecessary. The best part is that it doesn't leave any slippery residue, which makes me prefer this cleansing cream over cleansing oils.
ConsFor me, packaging is a crucial factor, and I found the packaging a bit disappointing.
