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.

It's gentle, fragrance-free, and helps maintain smooth skin.
ConsI didn't really find any downsides! I used it more as a final step to remove any leftover cleanser rather than as a primary cleansing product.

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 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!

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!

Even without a foam net, it lathers up nicely. I wondered how well it would foam up just using my hands, and it exceeded my expectations. I used it comfortably without any inconvenience. 2. The foam texture is rich and creamy, making me feel like it might help with pore care. 3. I like that the scent isn't artificial. Overall, it's a decent, no-frills soap.
Cons1. Although it says it can be used for the body, it seems a bit drying for that purpose. 2. The cleansing effectiveness doesn't seem sufficient for use as a primary cleanser. It appears more suitable as a second-step cleanser. 3. It melts away quickly... I suppose that's unavoidable with natural soaps.
TipWhen I only use cleansing foam, my skin feels tight, but when I use this soap as a second cleanser, it helps alleviate that tightness, which I really appreciate.

Scent First off, I love that the fragrance isn't overpowering and doesn't have that typical 'soapy' smell. It's also great that there's no lingering scent after use. 2. Size and Lather The soap bar is quite large, so it should last a while. It lathers up really well! If you want an even richer lather, you might want to use a soap net, but even without one, it produces a good amount of foam. 3. Cleansing Effectiveness It gives that squeaky clean feeling. I didn't experience any significant irritation after use.
Cons1. Moisture Maybe it's because it's a bar soap, but while the cleansing effectiveness is good, it can leave the skin feeling a bit dry afterwards. If you have dry skin, you might want to follow up with a body emulsion or cream to maintain hydration.

If you're sensitive to scents, the fragrance might bother you. Since it's a soap, it tends to dissolve quickly, so it's important to keep it in a well-drained area.
Cons💦상처있는 곳엔 화한 느낌이 강해서 주의하셔야 할 것 같아요 💦향에 좀 민감하시면 거슬리실 것 같아요! 💦비누라서 빨리 녹는 편이라 물 잘빠지게 해주는 게 중요할 것 같아요
TipPersonally, I think I'll reach for this more in summer than winter, and I recommend it for those with oily skin! Using it with a foam net might give you an even richer lather. I'd suggest using it as a second cleanse or for morning cleansing.
