It doesn't feel like the cleansing power is weak, and if you lather it up well with wet hands, the foam forms nicely.
ConsWhile using it, I didn't experience any worsening of acne, and it felt gentle without any irritation. It leaves the skin feeling moisturized without tightness, and it feels like the skin is thoroughly cleansed. However, there may be a slippery, non-squeaky clean feeling, and the fragrance may be divisive, so these are things to be aware of.
TipIt seems to remove eye and face makeup well, so it can be used for a light cleansing routine.

After cleansing, it doesn't rinse off easily, requiring multiple rinses. Despite the texture, it still feels quite drying after water removal.
ConsThe lack of a satisfying rinse when cleansing means I have to rinse multiple times, which is not preferred in my ideal cleanser. The drying sensation after cleansing is also something I'm not a big fan of.
TipSince the foam doesn't come easily, using a cleansing brush helps generate more lather. It also rinses off well during the cleansing process, which I appreciate.

It's not that the slightly acidic formula lacks moisturizing power or cleansing ability, but it does remove some oil and leaves a moisturized finish, which I like! My periodic chin acne that has been coming and going for years seems to be subsiding with this product. My chin acne has faded, and since this is the only product I've changed, I plan to continue using it consistently even if I repurchase it.
ConsIt doesn't have a squeaky-clean or strongly cleansing feel, but rather a slippery finish, which some may dislike. The cleansing power is a bit lacking for removing makeup, so I mainly use it in the mornings.

Since I hadn't found any acne-relieving products that worked well, I was doubtful, but I definitely felt my acne calming down right from the start of using this! Of course, everyone's hormonal cycles and dead skin shedding cycles are different, so the timing of the effects may vary, but I'm extremely satisfied with the results from just this cleansing product. ✅ The product feels gentle and mild. Since it's advertised as an acne-relieving product, I was a bit worried it might be too strong or irritating, but not at all! It's completely non-irritating. ✅ Moreover, since it's a slightly acidic product, I was able to use it in the morning without any irritation, so I used it for both my morning and evening cleansing. ✅ It was an unfamiliar brand to me, but it had the Dongkook (?) name on it, and Dongkook has other trusted product lines, so even though the Belphrimo line is new, it seems to be a reliable acne care line! I plan to try their basic skincare line in the future as well.
Cons☑️ Since it's a slightly acidic product, the cleansing feel is not as squeaky-clean as with alkaline cleansers, but it's not significantly uncomfortable either. It does seem quite mild for an acne-relieving product. ☑️ To see the full effects, it seems you'd need to use this cleansing product along with a solid basic skincare routine, rather than just relying on the cleansing alone. ☑️ The volume is a bit small. 😢 Cleansing products tend to get used up quickly with morning and evening use, so I wish they had increased the volume to at least 150ml.
Tip🍯 Since it's a slightly acidic product, I always use it with a cleansing brush. If you want a rich, foamy cleansing experience, I recommend using it with a cleansing brush.

I'm not sure if the design matches the 'Antique' concept of this product perfectly, but it's still an interesting and eye-catching appearance. ☑️ Lather: 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 (5/5) It can be quite challenging to find a gel cleanser that produces a rich and abundant lather. However, the Belphrimo Antique Gel Cleanser creates a smooth and voluminous lather with just a small amount. To get the best lather, it's better to gently rub your hands in a circular motion rather than just vigorously rubbing back and forth. ☑️ Cleansing Power: 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 (5/5) At the end of the day, the most important factor for a foam cleanser is its cleansing ability. Based on my accumulated data and experience, I had a small bias that mild, pH-balanced products may not have strong cleansing power. But with this Antique Gel Cleanser, the rich lather thoroughly and gently cleanses the face, leaving it feeling refreshed and clean. The cleansing performance was very satisfactory.
Cons☑️ Finish: 🩵🩵🩵🩵⚫️ (4/5) This is purely a personal preference, but I prefer a slightly squeaky-clean feeling after cleansing. The Belphrimo Antique Gel Cleanser leaves a slightly slippery (?) finish. If you enjoy a more moisturized, non-stripping feel after cleansing, this might be a perfect match for you. But for me, it felt like my face wasn't quite as thoroughly cleansed. However, I think this would still work well as a morning cleanser.
TipLather the product with a small amount of water, gently rubbing your hands in a circular motion to create a rich, voluminous lather!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros♡Product Name: Belprimeau Antique Gel Cleanser ♡Fragrance: As I'm not very sensitive to fragrances, I didn't notice any scent when cleansing my face. But when I intentionally smelled the product, it had a subtle, refreshing citrus aroma. ♡Texture: It has a gel-type consistency that is neither too thin nor too thick. When I placed it on my palm and lifted my hand, it didn't immediately run off (see photo!). ♡Usage Experience: The product doesn't create an abundance of lather when rubbed, but it's not uncomfortable during cleansing. When applied to the face, it glides smoothly across the surface rather than clinging tightly. This means there is no irritation even when scrubbing vigorously. Rinsing it off leaves a moisturized, slightly slippery feeling, rather than a squeaky-clean sensation. This may be a matter of personal preference, but the benefit is that the skin feels soft and hydrated after cleansing. ♡Cleansing Power: Although the initial impression was that the product might not cleanse thoroughly due to the moisturizing sensation, it effectively removed my eyeliner when tested. Strong makeup removers may require a second cleanse, but it seems sufficient for light base makeup and eyeshadow. ♡Ingredients: Out of 25 total ingredients, there is 1 high-risk ingredient (fragrance) and 2 allergy-causing ingredients. The remaining 22 ingredients are generally beneficial for both oily and dry skin types. There is 1 potentially irritating ingredient for sensitive skin, but I personally did not experience any discomfort or irritation. ♡Recommendation: Given the hydrating finish, this product is recommended for dry skin types. As it is formulated for acne-prone skin, it would also be suitable for those with blemish-prone complexions. ♡The product contains ingredients that are 99% effective against 3 types of acne-causing bacteria. As someone with acne-prone skin, I did experience a soothing effect when using this product.
ConsThis product may not be suitable for those who prefer a velvety finish. When rinsed with water, there is a slightly slick residual feeling (?) left behind. Additionally, when dispensing the product, no matter how firmly you squeeze, it comes out slowly and bit by bit, which can be frustrating.
TipI love the dewy finish, but I was a bit concerned about the residual feeling, so I wipe off the cleansing oil after cleansing. By doing this, I don't have to worry about the residual feeling, and the moisturized feeling is maintained, which is great!

So while I was able to confirm the effectiveness in managing breakouts, my skin is on the more sensitive side, and products that don't match well can really upset my skin. But I didn't experience any of those issues with this product! The gel cleanser also foams up nicely, and I didn't find any major irritants like fragrance.
ConsThe cleansing power doesn't completely remove color cosmetics, but since double cleansing is a must for me, this wasn't a major issue. This aspect can be both a pro and a con depending on skin type - it may not be ideal for those who prefer a more thorough, squeaky-clean cleanse, but could work well for drier skin types. While I've used gel cleansers before and the slip didn't bother me, those who really enjoy a deep-cleaning, non-greasy feel may not appreciate the residual slip left behind. For my skin, this cleanser worked better for morning cleansing than evening cleansing.
TipRecommended for dry skin types or during seasonal changes/winter as a morning cleanser!

When cleansing the face, the scent is lemony and subtle, which I really enjoy. It also cleanses the skin softly and thoroughly. The finish is smooth and supple, without any tightness, making it great to use as the weather gets cooler these days.
ConsIt doesn't produce a lot of lather. And if you prefer a squeaky-clean feeling after cleansing, you may want to reconsider this product.

The acne cleansing foam doesn't produce a lot of lather when put in the whisk, but just a small amount creates a dense and rich foam, making it easy to use. 2. My T-zone is extremely dry, but after washing, there's no tightness and my skin feels refreshed and clean. 3. If it's not too expensive (or on sale), I'd definitely repurchase it. 4. It's gentle enough for daily use and has almost no scent. Recently, I've tried other acne cleansers that stung my eyes and nose, but this one is very mild even when it gets into those areas.
ConsI like the squeaky clean feeling, but this product doesn't give me that.
TipIf you put a bean-sized amount in the whisk, it becomes a fluffy, dense formula.

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.ProsMy skin is usually oily with whiteheads and small pimples. I also sometimes get cystic acne. I applied for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program after hearing that it helps get rid of acne-causing bacteria, and I was selected! ✅️ Usage Review At first, there was a subtle lemon scent. Some other reviews mentioned the scent not being suitable, but I found it to be fine. Sometimes products with good ingredients can have a medicinal smell, but the mild lemon scent here wasn't unpleasant. The formula is runny, so if the cap isn't closed properly, it could overflow. But the opening is well-sealed to prevent spills. After receiving the product, I realized it's from the Dongkook Pharmaceutical line. I didn't know the brand before, but now that I do, I have more trust in the product. After using it for a few days, I can't say my acne has significantly reduced, but at least no new breakouts have appeared. I'll have to use it consistently to see the full effects.
ConsThe price is a bit on the higher side, so it might be burdensome, but if the results are good, I'll consider repurchasing. It has a slightly acidic pH, so the finish is more slippery and coated-feeling rather than powdery. This is a characteristic of the acidic formula. It also doesn't have extremely strong cleansing power, so you'll need to do a thorough first cleanse before using this as a second cleanse.
