This is a must-have for those who find it bothersome to double cleanse with cleansing oil, milk, and foam cleanser after wearing makeup. It's super convenient to use the Illiyoon Lip & Eye Remover Pad first, followed by this cleanser...!!! Being a gel formula, it's almost irritation-free when used and perfect for morning cleansing. The ingredients are so gentle that even those with super sensitive skin can use it without worrying about blemishes, making it a trusted product. (I'm currently on my 5th bottle..!) I'll keep using this until it's discontinued! It smells like dish soap... Those sensitive to scents might find it uncomfortable to use. While the lack of fragrance is good for the skin, it's still something I haven't gotten used to even after continued use... - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinMar 9, 2025
✓ Great for sensitive skin - doesn't cause blemishes! ✓ Love the hygienic pump dispenser! ✓ I was worried about its cleansing power, but it removes light makeup like sunscreen and thin cushion foundation surprisingly well. I use it as my first cleanse for mineral sunscreens! ✓ My skin doesn't feel overly tight after washing, which is fantastic! ✓ There's a slight dishwashing liquid scent... The faint smell lingers even after rinsing. ✓ While the pump is hygienic, it makes me feel like I'm using more product than necessary. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinJan 28, 2025
Despite its mild acidity, it has excellent cleansing effectiveness. I love that it's versatile - you can use it as a cleansing water and foam combo, or simply as a gel cleanser. It has all the best qualities, but the scent completely ruins it. I can't understand why they added fragrance at all. It would have been so much better unscented. The fragrance smells like cheap perfume... it's almost nauseating. That's why I'm hesitant about repurchasing. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinDec 18, 2024
This alone effectively removes sunscreen and foundation! It even takes off most color cosmetics unless they're waterproof. Highly recommended for those who dislike double cleansing or wear light makeup. Despite being mildly acidic, it doesn't leave a slippery residue, which is great. The scent is a bit like soap bubbles and slightly strong. Occasionally, it's hard to tell if it's fully removed mineral sunscreens or heavy base products. For a more powerful cleanse, use this product like a cleansing oil. Apply it to dry skin first, massage to break down makeup, then rinse with water. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinAug 15, 2024
It lathers up nicely, making it easy and convenient to use! That's definitely a plus. It's true that it doesn't rinse off easily, but more importantly, the scent is a bit like soap bubbles and somewhat unpleasant, which is quite disappointing. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinSep 7, 2023
First off, Illiyoon is synonymous with gentleness, so you can trust and use it with confidence. As someone with dry skin, I usually need to apply emulsion right after cleansing, but this left my skin feeling moisturized without any tightness. It produces just the right amount of foam. It even removes glittery eyeshadow completely, which often leaves residue with other cleansers. Being a mild product, it has great ingredients and doesn't irritate the skin. The scent isn't completely fragrance-free; there's a slight artificial aroma to it. Use it with Illiyoon emulsion for double the hydration! - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSep 4, 2023
"Gentle and soft foam, quickly removes light makeup" A review from The Hwahae Testers + dry skin user in August. I usually only wear sunscreen, cushion foundation (Rom&nd Bear Water Cushion), and tint. I've always used a combination of cleansing oil and foam cleanser, but this one product alone removes all my everyday makeup! It's perfect for lazy people like me! The gel-like texture feels non-irritating during massage, and when lathered, it gives off a truly gentle impression. Even a small amount produces a rich lather, so it would be great to use just as a second-step cleanser. I don't usually have strong preferences for scents, so it was fine for me, but some people might find the slightly dish soap-like clean scent off-putting! I used it in summer and it was okay, but those with dry skin might find it a bit drying in winter. I usually use cleansing oil for sebum/pore management, and this seems less effective at dissolving sebum and blackheads compared to cleansing oils. Massage it on dry face with dry hands, then wet your hands to create a lather for a second massage before rinsing. It leaves your face feeling refreshed! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinSep 1, 2023
Skin type: Oily, Sensitive, Combination dehydrated, Prone to redness Honest review from The Hwahae Testers: Every time I traveled, I used to just grab the foam cleanser from Daiso travel packages. But I noticed that after sleeping and applying makeup in the morning, my skin texture felt different than usual. A friend told me that I shouldn't use just any foam cleanser, so I switched to the more reliable Perfect Whip. I definitely felt my skin improve compared to when I used the Daiso one. Realizing how important it is to choose the right cleanser, I was on the hunt for the perfect foam cleanser for me! When I saw Illiyoon was recruiting testers, I applied right away! Illiyoon is... a brand I truly, truly cherish. When I was really stressed and struggling with back acne and facial acne, Illiyoon's body wash and emulsion completely cleared it up. I'm so grateful! So, I had high hopes when I tried their foam cleanser, but I have to say there were a few disappointing aspects... Those sensitive to fragrances might find the strong artificial scent uncomfortable to use. It feels slippery when rinsing with water. As it seems more suitable for dry, sensitive skin, my oily skin kept developing one or two blemishes around the nose area. For those who aren't sensitive to fragrances and have dry skin, the product itself is gentle and has good cleansing effectiveness, so there shouldn't be any issues using it! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAug 31, 2023
Cleansing effectiveness is on point! Before this, I used the Banila Co Cleansing Balm (green), and the cleansing power is similar. Even with heavy powder makeup that's hard to remove by hand or with regular cleansing foams, this product melts away eyebrow makeup and foundation almost instantly. That seems to be its strong suit. However, I can't speak to its effectiveness on other types of makeup since I only use it on my skin and eyebrows. The pump design makes it convenient to use. There's almost no eye irritation - I even tried rubbing it vigorously with my eyes open, and it only stung slightly after about 10 seconds. With normal use, you won't feel any discomfort at all! The scent is really off-putting. Ever heard of angel clay? It smells exactly like that, or maybe like dish soap? Because of this smell, I find myself reluctant to use it. It also leaves my skin feeling quite dry after cleansing. It's noticeably more drying than regular cleansing foams. I have oily skin and rarely feel tightness after washing, but with this product, I definitely noticed some (though it's not extremely severe in absolute terms). Since it can be a bit drying and for blackhead management, those with dry skin might want to use it alongside a cleansing oil or balm for better results (I used it alone for a more accurate review). I probably won't repurchase this. It doesn't have any standout features that make it a must-buy, and I think it could easily be replaced by other products - for example, one with a more pleasant fragrance. The Hwahae Testers might find better options out there for their daily mask routine or to achieve that coveted Inner Glow. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinAug 28, 2023
The Hwahae Testers review! Usage period: 8/19-8/28 (10 days) Previous cleansing routine: Oil cleanser followed by a low pH gel foam for double cleansing Texture and application: The formula has a fluid consistency, but when massaging it onto dry skin, there's a slight tackiness (reminiscent of dish soap). It lathers up beautifully once water is added. As a swimmer, I only wore basic makeup (eyebrow shadow without shimmer and lip color) when using this product. It effectively removes non-waterproof products! I haven't used cotton pads in a while, but I tried using an exfoliating toner to check its cleansing power, and there was no trace of base makeup residue. Those who go foundation-free or wear light makeup will be extremely satisfied! Usage during the trial period: Following the instructions, I pumped it onto wet hands, massaged it onto a dry face, rinsed, then followed up with a second cleanse using the same foam (out of habit, I felt a bit uneasy only cleansing once). Compared to my previous method of using cleansing water in a foaming pump bottle, this is much better. It's less irritating and creates a richer lather! Scent: Smells like dish soap (common with low pH gels) Price point is a bit high: Couldn't we buy two cheaper products for this price? I'll need to keep an eye out for sales! Not very effective for blackhead and sebum removal While it's marketed as an all-in-one cleanser, its ability to remove color makeup is somewhat lacking. We don't typically wear just base makeup, right? Compared to a first-step cleanser, its cleansing power is average. Usually, we expect second-step cleansing foams to improve skin concerns... So its position feels a bit ambiguous? Hoping it doesn't disappear from the market like oil-to-foam cleansers... However, I'd highly recommend this for men who don't typically use waterproof products! It does a good job removing thick, tone-up sunscreens! Highly recommended for swimmers (especially afternoon class attendees)! You can cleanse everything off in one go! While I'll stick to my usual oil double cleanse routine normally, I plan to bring this product to the pool (which means I intend to use up the whole bottle). The lockable cap makes it convenient to carry around.
