It's my first time trying a Laha product, and since it was unfamiliar, I did some research. Apparently, unlike Aha, Baha, and Paha, Laha has a slightly acidic pH of 5.5, so it doesn't compromise the skin barrier and is very gentle with minimal irritation. It's oil-based, so it's also suitable for oily skin. So far, I've found it to be much less irritating than Aha and Baha. It seems to work well for my combination, sensitive skin. It seems to balance my moisture and oil levels nicely. The product also has some scrub-like granules, but they're not as harsh or abrasive as typical scrub particles - they're more like soft, rounded 'flakes' that gently exfoliate without causing irritation when massaged onto the face. Even using it daily, I haven't experienced any breakouts. After cleansing, my skin feels soft and supple, with less tightness. The fragrance is very mild, almost unscented, so it should work well for those sensitive to fragrances. This was my first time trying a Laha product, but I think I'll be using Laha more than Aha and Baha going forward. The packaging is also simple and nice-looking. Oh, and I've noticed my blackheads seem to have improved noticeably after using this - they're not completely gone, but much less visible to the naked eye. They claim it helps with blackheads and whiteheads, and I can attest to that. I'm completely satisfied! The only slight downside is that the product size seems a bit small for the price, but it still works so well that I don't mind too much.
ConsThe only slight downside is that after cleansing and finishing my skincare routine, I do notice a bit of oiliness returning to my T-zone area. This wasn't an issue with some of my other products, but it happens with this one.
TipI'd recommend gently massaging the product onto your skin without too much pressure for the best results and to avoid any irritation.

I tried using exfoliating pads or similar products, but my sensitive skin would get irritated no matter how gentle the formula was, and I'd end up with bumpy, red breakouts. However, this product has some kind of exfoliating beads or granules, but it didn't cause any irritation at all. So I was wondering if it was actually effective in removing dead skin, and sure enough, after washing it off, my skin felt really soft and smooth. It seems to work well.
ConsPersonally, I don't really like the slippery, greasy feeling. I felt like I wasn't getting fully clean, so I ended up rinsing it more, which made my skin feel a bit too dry (there's an underlying dryness). On the days when I didn't rinse it as thoroughly, my skin got quite oily.

I have oily and acne-prone skin, so exfoliation is important for me. However, I also have sensitive skin, so I often struggle when choosing a cleansing foam. I've tried many different cleansing foams, but most of them were too irritating for me, and my skin would become overly oily the next day. For the past few years, I've been using a mild acidic cleansing foam, but I felt it wasn't effective enough for my oily skin, so I've been using a soap-based cleansing routine for a few months now. Pros: ★ Despite having exfoliating beads, it's not too irritating. - When I use an irritating cleansing foam, my skin becomes itchy and develops redness and small white bumps after cleansing. This cleansing foam, however, is fine even with the exfoliating beads. ★ It's fragrance-free. It seems to be a fragrance-free cleansing foam. There's a slight natural scent, but it's not unpleasant. ★ It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry after cleansing. Even though it's not an acidic cleansing foam, my skin doesn't feel tight after using it. ★ It doesn't cause any breakouts. There's no acne breakout caused by irritation. ★ The packaging is good. The design is clean, and it's easy to dispense the product.
ConsLHA is indeed a chemical exfoliating ingredient, but I'm not sure if the inclusion of physical exfoliating beads was necessary. It seems more like a performance gimmick rather than providing actual effective exfoliation. For people like me who think physical exfoliants are too irritating compared to the benefits, and those who just want a purely chemical exfoliant, this product may not be that appealing. Another issue I noticed is that my skin seems to be producing more oil the next morning. During the time I was using just a soap-based cleansing routine, my skin didn't seem as oily the next day. But in the 3 days of using this cleansing foam, I've noticed a visible increase in oil production, to the point where my cheeks feel a bit tacky when touched. Excessive oil production can directly lead to breakouts, which is a sensitive issue for those with oily skin like myself. However, this could also be due to my skin type not agreeing well with this particular cleansing foam.
TipUsing warm water to create the lather results in a more abundant and creamy foam.
