Recently, as I was running out of my usual skincare products, I received the Gold Tree Soap and tried it on both my face and body. I'm accustomed to using bar soaps, as I've received many as gratis from Sidmool, and I use them for my body during every shower. So, when I first used the Gold Tree Soap, I had no reservations. Before using it, I read some reviews mentioning that the scent might be divisive. Being sensitive to fragrances myself, I was a bit concerned, but the scent wasn't off-putting at all. It's hard to describe the exact scent, but after using it every morning for about a week, I stopped noticing it. If you're used to bar soaps, you'll likely find this one easy to use! As I mentioned earlier, I recently changed my skincare products, including starting to use the Gold Tree Soap. I haven't experienced any new blemishes or issues on my face, and it seems to work well with my new skincare routine. My skin feels comfortable, and I'm no longer worried about blackheads, whiteheads, acne, or folliculitis. It's one of the products I've won through Hwahae that I'm truly satisfied with.
ConsAlthough I only use it once in the morning, it lathers so well that I go through it quickly. This makes it feel a bit expensive for the price. Also, I usually cleanse for one minute, but when I did so with this soap, the skin under my eyes became irritated and started to weep. It also caused some healing acne to reopen and bleed. It seems a bit harsh, so those with delicate and sensitive skin might want to avoid it!
TipAs mentioned in the drawbacks, since cleansing for a full minute was too irritating, I've reduced it to 30 seconds. I'm also being extra gentle and careful when cleansing more delicate areas of my skin.

It's not exceptionally foamy. The scent is like a handmade soap, which I found pleasant. It's great for a light morning cleanse or as a second cleanse. I didn't experience much tightness or dryness after washing. Overall, it seems like a decent, reliable product.
ConsAs someone with super sensitive skin, I noticed a slight redness on my face a few days after using it. However, this might have coincided with other factors that made me more aware of the side effects. I'm still using it, and it seems like my skin is gradually adapting and improving.

I loved that it didn't dry out my skin or cause any redness. The soap had a healthy scent, which made me feel like my skin was getting healthier too - though I'm not sure if it actually did, haha. What I can say for certain is that this soap definitely kept my skin from feeling dry and maintained its hydration.
ConsAs someone with combination skin, I felt like this didn't quite suit my skin type. At first, I thought it was pretty good since I didn't get any blemishes. But after 4-5 days, I started noticing a few blemishes popping up here and there. Not a lot, but still disappointing.
TipI don't have any specific tips, but if I had to suggest something, try working up a rich lather in your hands before applying it to your face. It seems to make the skin feel more hydrated that way.

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.

I loved that the soap itself had exfoliating particles, allowing for a gentle massage without irritation! The cleansing effectiveness seemed stronger than expected... It removed oil so thoroughly that my skin felt tight! I really appreciated that there was no artificial fragrance, and it was very similar to handmade soap!
ConsI used it on my body and face for about 3 days, but since I have combination dehydrated skin, my face felt painfully tight after washing, which was quite a shock. Especially around my nose where the skin is sensitive, it stung badly like when I use harsh cosmetics. Even after applying skincare to soothe it, the pain lasted for quite a while.

Since I had been out and about that day, I was sweaty all over, but this left me feeling refreshed. The lather was rich, it completely removed any oiliness, and even gave a cooling sensation. Someone mentioned it smells like cola, and I can see why - it's more like cola jelly to me. I didn't mind the scent at all.
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I found it a bit drying. I tried following a tip I read in another review about leaving the foam on like a pack for a while before rinsing, but it left my skin feeling too dry and itchy.
TipPersonally, I think this would be perfect for travel. You could just pack this one item instead of separate foam cleanser and body wash, saving space in your luggage. I was really satisfied with how refreshed it made me feel during my post-work evening showers.

It has a herbal or lavender-like fragrance that gives a natural, eco-friendly feel. - It's not drying. Whether used on the face or body, there's no feeling of dryness. - The lather rinses off quickly without leaving any residue.
Cons- My face, especially my forehead, broke out in blemishes. After washing my face, 3 new blemishes appeared on my forehead either that day or the next. I wasn't sure if it was due to the weather getting warmer, so I continued using it for two days before stopping. A few days later, I tried again and got even more new blemishes. I've now discontinued use and am focusing on calming my skin. - While I loved how quickly the lather rinsed off when used as a body wash, leaving no residue, after drying off I felt a slightly heavy, waxy film on my skin (not oily or greasy). This was irritating in the hot, humid summer, so I had to rewash with a different soap. It might be better suited for drier seasons.

It was embedded in the soap and looked lovely! Also, this might vary from person to person, but I liked the squeaky clean feeling after washing. It felt like it cleansed thoroughly, which I think is good. And the scent of centella...? It had a refreshing herbal smell!
ConsI developed blemishes like tiny grains between my eyebrows, and one large pimple appeared... Everything was fine until I used it, but after washing my face and sleeping for a night, there it was... Also, the soap seems too soft. It crumbles easily...? That's how it felt. I might use it for washing hands or body... And if it gets in your eyes, it stings way more than other soaps, beyond imagination.. I wish I didn't have to find that out..
TipUse a sponge...? Or a soap dish that drains water well

You can even sense this in its scent. It has a deep clay and herbal fragrance that doesn't feel artificial. The foam is rich and dense like whipped cream. I usually use products that leave my skin feeling soft after washing, but this soap gives a squeaky clean finish. The cleansing effectiveness seems excellent as well.
ConsEvery time I use it, my skin burns and turns red. I tried to persevere for 5 days, but had to stop due to severe tingling. It feels exactly like my skin couldn't handle the high concentration of ingredients applied directly. For those with super sensitive skin, this might be a case of too much of a good thing...
TipRecommended for those who want a squeaky clean cleansing effect. Seems like a great product especially for summer use. If you have extremely sensitive skin like me, be cautious as it might be irritating.

Some CP soaps tend to get mushy quickly, which can be inconvenient, but this one doesn't have that problem at all. The lather is rich with fine bubbles even in lukewarm water. As you massage it on your skin, the foam becomes dense and creamy like meringue. This makes it particularly convenient for shaving your legs when using it on your body. Sometimes I accidentally open my eyes while lathering, but it doesn't sting, which is great. It rinses off cleanly without leaving any slippery residue, so it would be perfect for that fresh feeling in hot summer. If you have dry skin, you might find it less moisturizing, so you may need to follow up with a toner right away.
ConsThe first time I used it, I was so impressed by how the lather turned into a dense, meringue-like foam that I massaged it for too long. Afterward, my skin felt a bit tingly. It happened a couple more times before it settled down, but those with super sensitive skin should be careful not to over-scrub.
