I'll need to keep using it to see the full effects.
ConsWhile it does cause a slight tingling sensation, I still enjoy using it. I'll need to continue using it for a while to truly assess its effectiveness.

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.

Texture: The soap is surprisingly firm and doesn't lather as much as expected, giving it a rather solid feel. Despite the minimal foam, its cleansing power is surprisingly good. The lack of abundant lather during washing doesn't seem to be a major issue. Recommended Skin Type: As someone with acne-prone, oily skin, I didn't experience significant problems. However, due to my acne-prone skin, there was a lingering stinging sensation after cleansing. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend it for those with acne-prone skin.
ConsUser Experience: Being a bar soap, storage can be a bit tricky. The soap is harder than expected, making it difficult to work up a good lather, and it was a bit harsh on my hands. Blemishes: It had an ambiguous effect on blemishes - they neither decreased nor increased. Not Recommended For: There was a persistent stinging sensation after washing. I wouldn't recommend this for those with super sensitive skin.
TipClean hands are crucial for preventing acne-causing bacteria when cleansing your face! I recommend washing your hands thoroughly before using the soap to cleanse your face.

Plus, the scent isn't overpowering and there's no artificial fragrance, which is great. - Surprisingly, the foam on the soap doesn't disappear even the next day. - The cleansing effectiveness seems pretty good.
Cons- On days when my super sensitive skin acts up, washing with this makes the area around my eyes and mouth tingle. They claimed it was non-irritating, so this point is a bit questionable. - I had high hopes since it was supposed to be good for blemishes, but after a week of use, I haven't seen any progress yet... I'll keep using it a bit longer since I'm prone to breakouts.
TipIf it doesn't work on my face, I plan to use it as a body wash. After a week of use, it slightly irritates my face and hasn't improved my blemishes, so I'm deducting one star. The rest is okay.

Plus, using it to cleanse my bare face works even better than my usual cleansing foam!
ConsFor the first 4-5 uses, I experienced quite a tingling sensation on my lower face. While it's less intense now with continued use, those with super sensitive skin should be cautious! The ingredients don't seem suitable for everyone, so I can't recommend it at this point.

I received the Palm D'Way Gold Tree Soap as part of a testing group and used it for a week. It's a fermented, aged soap featuring Dendropanax extract, and it's a high-quality handmade soap. The lather is incredibly rich and soft. It cleanses well without feeling slippery, and leaves a waxy, protective coating feeling on the skin. It's great for acne and has really helped with my winter leg allergies and dead skin cells. I think it has anti-inflammatory effects. I plan to purchase it when I run out. It's nice that it doesn't get soggy when left on the sink or bottle cap. I've been interested in zero waste lately and trying to reduce plastic use for the environment, so I've been looking into bar soaps. They're compact and can be used as shampoo, body wash, and facial cleanser. However, it can be difficult to lather with hands, and it can make hair feel stiff. I looked up usage tips and found that it's recommended to use it only on the scalp and follow with regular shampoo for hair. I tried both methods - once with just the soap and once with shampoo after. Using only the soap definitely made my hair stiff and hard to style. Massaging the lather into the scalp and then using shampoo worked better. I'm not sure about hair loss, but my hair is incredibly shiny now.
ConsThe scent is quite strong. When I used it like other first-step cleansers, lathering on my face and leaving for a minute as a foam pack, it stung and irritated my skin. I usually don't have issues with other soaps or foam cleansers. After using this, I got a few small blemishes around my eyes. I checked the ingredients again and found it contains many types of oils like evening primrose oil, olive oil, and orange oil. Those with oily skin should be cautious when using this as a facial cleanser.
TipUse a Daiso foam dispenser to create a rich lather, then cleanse in order from scalp to face to body, all with this one soap.

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.ProsFirst off, I love how it lathers up nicely. As you keep massaging, the foam becomes dense and creamy. I read a review where someone used it as a mask, and I can see why - the foam dries quickly, making it perfect for that purpose. While I can't attribute it solely to this product, my face, which was rough due to atopic dermatitis, seems to have improved a bit. The scent reminds me of the room spray at Kyobo Bookstore - a citrusy fragrance with a slightly heavy note.
ConsIt dissolves a bit too quickly in water, which is slightly disappointing. However, I'm satisfied because it lathers up so well. Oh, and I have atopic dermatitis on my face - it stung a little when I first used it, but after a few days of use, it became fine.
TipI placed the soap on a draining soap dish by the window, and perhaps because it dried quickly, it didn't seem to shrink in size as noticeably as I expected.

It seems to contain many beneficial ingredients, and I appreciate that bar soaps are generally perceived as environmentally friendly!
ConsI experienced some irritation after using this product. While my skin around the nose area tends to be sensitive, I've never felt irritated by other cleansing foams on the market. However, every time I used this product, the area under my nose felt a burning and tingling sensation. Fortunately, it didn't cause any breakouts, but I couldn't use it with peace of mind. I plan to use it as a body cleanser from now on! Many reviews claim it doesn't cause skin tightness after cleansing, but in my experience, the product was extremely effective at removing oil, leaving my skin feeling squeaky clean, which actually made it feel dry. Considering its high price point, I don't see any significant differences or dramatic effects compared to other cleansers, so I won't be repurchasing.

Its cleansing effectiveness is remarkable - it left my skin feeling even cleaner than after using Senka foam cleanser. I also appreciated that the scent wasn't overly artificial.
ConsDespite having quite oily skin, I found it uncomfortable to use frequently as it started to sting after leaving the lather on for a short while. It might be challenging for those with sensitive or dry skin to use. Being a bar soap, it's disheartening to see how quickly it dissolves and disappears with just a little use. Also, be careful not to use this soap on your hair - it'll leave it feeling like you've washed it with laundry soap!
TipWhile it might be too harsh for daily use, it seems good for using every 2-3 days.

It had a richer, more luxurious scent compared to regular soaps. The lather was incredibly soft and abundant, allowing for a generous application. Even though it was my first time using it, it rinsed off cleanly, making it perfect for a second cleanse after removing makeup. What I loved most was how it left my skin feeling clear and clean rather than just stripped. It truly gave me that fresh, purified complexion!
ConsWhile it didn't seem to cause any blemishes, I noticed a stinging sensation when it came into contact with the area around my lips, possibly due to some minor cuts there. Because of this potential irritation, I only used it once a day, either in the morning or evening. I'd caution that those with super sensitive skin might experience some tingling when using this product.
