Without any artificial fragrances or harsh chemicals, it's incredibly gentle on the skin, feeling mild even during face washing or showering. The lather is amazingly soft and rich, even when you just rub it with your hands, so it's convenient that you don't need a separate foam net. The soap's shape and packaging are also sleek, making it a nice gift option.
ConsThe soap tends to soften quickly when left in contact with water for too long. To make it last, you'll need to place it on a soap dish that allows water to drain after each use. It's also a bit pricier than regular soap. However, considering its gentleness and how it helps with blemishes, I used it with a fair amount of satisfaction.

The rich, dense foam has a subtle, natural scent that's reminiscent of Hwangchil and lemon - not artificial at all. It's pleasant but dissipates quickly after rinsing, making it suitable even for those sensitive to fragrances. What I appreciate most is its excellent ingredients and cleansing effectiveness. It's been great for my whole family to use on face and body. There's no slippery residue or feeling of tightness after use. I was initially concerned about the 65g weight, thinking it would be tiny compared to the usual 85-100g soaps. However, it's similar in size to regular bars and feels much more solid, probably due to less moisture content. It doesn't soften easily, so it's lasting well. I'm really enjoying it and would definitely repurchase.
ConsWhile some might consider the price point a bit high, I think it's reasonable given that it's a naturally aged soap with quality ingredients and performance.
TipThe soap lathers so well that you don't need a foam net. If you wet it with lukewarm water and work up the lather in your hands, it becomes even richer and creamier.

I find cleansing oils too heavy and was looking for a soap or foam cleanser. This one feels like a natural soap with a strong squeaky-clean effect. It's great for removing excess oil and cleansing. It lathers well, so I can use it faster than a foam cleanser. With consistent use, I think it would be beneficial for blemish-prone skin. I'm satisfied with both the scent and texture!
ConsIt leaves my skin feeling a bit too squeaky clean, which can be slightly drying after washing. This might be more noticeable in winter. I do feel a slight dryness after use.
TipI've found that creating a rich lather is key to cleansing effectively without causing irritation.

So I've been using this as the final step in my cleansing routine. Body skin type: My back tends to be oily, while my legs are dry. Scent: This soap has a strong woody and herbal scent. Since fragrances themselves aren't great for blemishes, I actually liked this. Usage experience: I kept it near the shower, and it surprisingly didn't soften too quickly, which was great. It lathered up nicely, showing good cleansing effectiveness. It even produced enough foam when used as a body wash. Moisturizing effect: Since the soap itself cleanses thoroughly, it's less moisturizing than foam cleansers, but it was fine for my face. However, my leg skin gets very dry in winter, and dead skin cells are inevitable. I think I'll need to address this with a body emulsion. I sometimes hesitate to try new body washes as using the wrong one can easily cause blemishes, but I've been using this without any issues.
ConsIt would be nice if they had a more moisturizing version, like an olive Marseille soap.

I was pleased to see it's made with natural ingredients and gentle components. It's not irritating to the skin, yet it has great cleansing effectiveness! My skin type changes with the seasons - combination dehydrated in winter, oily-combination in summer, and combination in spring and fall. The weather's been dry lately, and the soap leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean, so I did experience some deep dryness. I think it'll be even more useful in summer when sebum production increases! Also, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it lathers. I keep it in a mesh bag, and when I wet it before use, it creates a rich lather. That's how I've been using it!
ConsBecause of its strong cleansing power, it can be drying. Those with dry skin should be cautious. Other than that, I haven't found any particular issues!

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.ProsIt's amazing how just rubbing the soap once in your hands creates a rich, creamy lather. I love that it doesn't have any strong scent. I use it for my second cleanse after cleansing oil, and it leaves my skin feeling clean without being too squeaky or slippery. It's also great for body use - when I shower with it, my skin feels smooth as if I've exfoliated, but without any dryness. Everyone's skin is different, but for me, this soap is absolutely perfect!
ConsThe price is a bit high, but considering how much lather it produces - just one rub on a towel is enough to wash your whole body - I can't really say it's overpriced. From my experience, I don't have any complaints about the product itself.
TipWhile it's great for facial cleansing, I actually prefer using it in the shower. After using it with an exfoliating towel, I feel as refreshed as if I've had a professional body scrub, without any dryness. I think I'll be sticking to Gold Tree Soap for all my showers from now on. You really have to try it to understand...

It leaves your face feeling squeaky clean. 2. The foam is rich and creamy, which might help tighten pores. 3. There's a slight herbal scent to it. 4. Using this soap after an oil cleanser for double cleansing is fantastic - it removes makeup effectively!
ConsBe sure to keep it in a soap dish that drains well, as it dissolves easily when left in water. Also, it might be a bit harsh, so those with super sensitive skin should use it cautiously.
TipRecommended for the second step of your cleansing routine.

Even though it's a natural soap without synthetic surfactants, it produces a wonderfully fluffy foam that's great for both face and body cleansing. Scent: The fragrance has a subtle herbal or plant-like aroma, which I absolutely loved because it's not overpowering at all! I also appreciated that it's a natural scent rather than a strong, artificial one. The mild fragrance means even those with sensitive noses should be able to use it comfortably. After-feel: The finish leaves your skin feeling incredibly smooth! There's this squeaky-clean sensation, but without any residue. Usually, this kind of finish might make your skin feel dry and tight, but this soap leaves no residue while still maintaining hydration without any deep dryness. It's fantastic! Overall: It's perfect for gentle, irritation-free cleansing, and the ingredients are so skin-friendly that I think anyone could use it safely. After using it for a few days, I was amazed to see that some of my blemishes had disappeared! It seems ideal for strengthening the skin barrier during harsh winter months with its mild, nourishing ingredients.
ConsWhile I didn't have any major issues using it, the only slight drawback is that the bottom part of the soap can get a bit soft during storage. But I think this is unavoidable given its bar soap format.
TipI've used it extensively on both my face and body, and it seems to work wonders on facial and back blemishes!

The soap arrived in a ziplock bag, and I noticed white crystalline formations on its surface. When I first used it, it lathered up easily with a gentle foam as I rubbed it between my wet hands. The foam lasted quite a while, staying soft and allowing me to apply it to my skin without much irritation. Unlike other cleansers, it didn't feel slippery when rinsing off. Being a bar soap, it left my skin feeling squeaky clean, which I really appreciated.
ConsI must say, this soap doesn't have exceptional cleansing effectiveness. When used alone, it doesn't feel like it removes everything thoroughly, so it might be challenging to use as a primary cleanser. While it leaves the skin feeling squeaky clean, it can be quite drying. Those with dry skin should definitely follow up with a good moisturizer after use. Personally, I didn't enjoy the scent, which lingered even after rinsing, which was a downside for me.
TipRecommended for: - Those who like to double cleanse with different products - People who enjoy the squeaky clean feeling after washing Not recommended for: - Those seeking a thorough, comprehensive cleansing experience - People with very dry skin
