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 focus on squeaky-clean feeling, oil removal, and makeup removal since I wash with soap both morning and evening. The scent is hard to describe, but it's a familiar one I've smelled before. I personally like it, so that was a plus for me. After washing with the soap, I get that squeaky-clean feeling and it's great at removing excess oil. I usually only wear foundation and tint, and it cleanses well (for reference, I do a triple cleanse). After using the soap, it's gentle and doesn't cause any irritation.
ConsWhile it's excellent at removing oil, I couldn't feel any lasting moisture after cleansing.
TipUsing a soap net to create lather might increase your satisfaction with the cleansing experience!

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.

Cons❌ Not recommended for extremely dry skin ❌ Not recommended if you're expecting significant blemish-fighting results ❌ Not recommended as a primary makeup remover

As someone who doesn't wear heavy makeup, I've been using it with cleansing water and foam cleanser in the evening, and just the soap alone in the morning. I've also used it about 5 times while showering. When I opened the package, I noticed a strong herbal scent - a mix of peppermint and rosemary. I'm usually sensitive to fragrances, but this wasn't overpowering at all. Thumbs up! This is my first time trying an aged soap, and I'm impressed. Unlike handmade or natural soaps that tend to lose their lather over time, this one produces an abundant, rich foam. It's amazing! I tried it in the shower since it's suitable for body use. I gently rubbed it on my shower puff, and wow - it lathered up incredibly well with minimal effort. The scent wasn't overwhelming during or after use, which I appreciated. There was no lingering strong fragrance on my skin afterwards. What's really surprising is how it leaves my skin feeling. Usually, soap can leave you feeling tight and dry, but this one leaves my skin feeling as moisturized as if I'd used a body wash. It's truly remarkable! For facial use, I tried it alone in the morning. While it didn't completely remove all the oil (I usually need to cleanse twice for that), it still cleansed well and left my skin feeling hydrated. It doesn't give that squeaky-clean feeling I sometimes like, but it definitely cleanses thoroughly while maintaining moisture. In the evenings, I've been alternating between using it with cleansing water or foam cleanser. It's hard to judge its cleansing power on its own in this routine, but I can say I've never felt any dryness - my skin always feels moisturized after use. After a week of frequent use, I'm thrilled that the soap isn't wearing down quickly or getting mushy like some natural soaps do. It's slowly decreasing in size, which is great for longevity. I'm very satisfied with this product!
ConsWhile I really like this soap, the price is a bit steep. At over 10,000 won per bar, it's on the pricier side. I'd definitely consider buying it again if there was a sale. One thing to note - on the first or second day of use, my face stung quite a bit when I used a toner pad after cleansing. It was quite uncomfortable, so I switched to applying toner directly without a pad after that, which solved the issue. I'm not entirely sure if the stinging was due to the soap or something else, as I had been using it fine until then. It's a bit puzzling since nothing else in my routine had changed.

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!

I'm using it as a body soap with a foaming net, and it creates a rich lather that leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean. The user experience is fantastic! I prefer unscented products, so I'm really pleased that this one has barely any fragrance. The only downside is that I'm using it for my body, so I'll probably go through it quickly, which is a bit of a shame.
ConsWhen I first received it, I was a bit shocked to see so many white spots on the soap's surface that I thought it might be mold. But don't worry! As soon as I got it wet, they disappeared right away.
TipUsing it with a foaming net makes it really convenient and nice to use.
