Mild, pleasant scent It has a subtle herbal aroma. I appreciated that the fragrance wasn't overpowering, which is ideal for a facial cleanser.
ConsStruggles with mascara removal I wore makeup during the testing period to evaluate its cleansing effectiveness. While it effectively removed base makeup, eyeliner, and lipstick, it didn't completely cleanse mascara. I had to use a separate makeup remover or cleansing oil for that.
TipAs this product doesn't produce much foam on its own, I used a bubble maker or cleansing device to create a lather for application.

Texture: A thick, gel-like consistency It has a honey-like feel but is firm enough not to drip when squeezed. It dissolves quickly when it comes in contact with water! However, it doesn't produce as much foam as shown in the promotional photos. Most low pH foam cleansers I've used don't create abundant foam, but this one foams up more than others I've tried! Scent: There's a slight herbal scent, reminiscent of fresh grass, which I personally found pleasant! It's not completely unscented, so it might be a matter of personal preference. User experience: Despite the lack of abundant foam, which made me a bit skeptical at first, I immediately felt my skin becoming smoother upon application and massaging, regardless of the amount of lather. After cleansing, I didn't experience any tightness or deep dryness, and I loved the moisturized finish. It's also incredibly gentle! I think it would be suitable even for those with super sensitive skin.
ConsThe cleansing effectiveness might be slightly lacking for use on its own... I removed eye makeup and lipstick separately with a lip and eye remover, as this product alone might struggle to remove eye makeup and long-lasting lip products.
TipThis truly gentle product seems perfect for morning cleansing routines!

I was especially excited because it's a foam cleanser that helps with pore management. Lately, my enlarged pores have been stressing me out, so I've been focusing on pore care. I was thrilled to try a product that seemed perfect for my needs. The gel-type foam cleanser isn't unusual in itself, but what caught my eye was its brown color, probably due to the licorice water. It was a refreshing change from the typical white cleansers I've been using. Surprisingly, despite the brown gel, it still lathered up into white foam! A little goes a long way with this product. I used it like my regular foam cleanser at first, but it lathers up incredibly well. The rich, creamy foam just kept coming, even after rinsing! It's great that you can create such a luxurious lather with just a small amount - it'll last quite a while. The dense foam works wonderfully as a mini mask. I left it on for a bit, then gently massaged it, and I could really see why it's good for pore care. After rinsing, my skin felt hydrated, leaving a nice finish.
ConsI noticed fragrance listed in the ingredients. It would have been better without it, in my opinion. Also, it didn't remove color cosmetics as well as I expected. It might be better suited as a second-step cleanser.

After use, my skin feels incredibly hydrated and super smooth to the touch. 👉 Key points: Smooth skin texture + gentle exfoliation 👉 For pore care, you might need to use it longer than a week to see noticeable results. This gel foam contains 8 types of hyaluronic acid, which seems to provide that moisturizing finish! It also includes LHA, a gentle exfoliating ingredient, allowing for a non-irritating cleanse while simultaneously removing dead skin cells. This is great because AHA and BHA can be a bit harsh for sensitive skin. ✅ Scent: A subtle, natural fragrance that's not artificial ✅ Irritation: As someone with somewhat sensitive skin, I used it for about a week and experienced no blemishes or irritation! 💚 Overall They say removing makeup is more important than applying it! The Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Gel Foam is a gentle, mild cleansing gel foam that even those with sensitive skin can use comfortably.
ConsIf you're looking for that squeaky-clean feeling after cleansing, you might find this product a bit lacking. However, as someone with dry skin, I actually appreciated the moisturized feeling after washing! Also, it doesn't completely remove heavy makeup. So for full coverage makeup, you'll need to use this as a second step in your cleansing routine.
Tip- I recommend this cleansing gel for morning cleansing or on days when you've worn light makeup! - If you want more foam, try using a foam maker for a richer lather! - It contains patented ingredients that are great for pore care, making it perfect for the upcoming summer months.

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.ProsAs the product name suggests, it has an incredibly bouncy gel-like texture. It has a brownish tint, likely due to the licorice water content. When you rub it between your hands, it creates a rich, bouncy lather that foams up nicely. There's a subtle, refreshing scent that's cool and invigorating without being overpowering. The product description mentioned its effectiveness in removing dead skin cells, which initially worried me as I have sensitive, dry skin. Typically, exfoliating products can be harsh and drying, potentially causing blemishes. However, this cleanser leaves your skin feeling smooth without being abrasive or irritating. It seems capable of cleansing light makeup like sunscreen or BB cream effectively.
ConsAs someone who generally prefers unscented cleansing products, I can't help but wonder if it would be better without the fragrance. Also, for those who wear heavy makeup, it might be inconvenient as it would require double cleansing.

At first, I was a bit worried about the citric acid and salicylic acid, which can be sensitive ingredients, but I didn't experience any redness or blemishes. It really lives up to its claim of being a gentle cleansing foam! The texture doesn't feel squeaky clean, but rather soft and smooth? It didn't feel irritating at all~ With its gel-like consistency, it lathers up nicely, making it easy to create foam. The rich lather seemed to make it even gentler on the skin~
ConsIf you're looking for a strong cleansing effectiveness, I'd recommend a different product! Since it's designed to be gentle, it doesn't seem to have powerful cleansing properties. I'd suggest using this as a second cleanser to remove any residue after your first cleanse!

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*Photo description: To assess cleansing effectiveness, I applied lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, pearlescent eyeshadow, and foundation on my hand in that order (pressing firmly to ensure adherence). 1. Ingredients: Contains licorice water, which helps soothe the skin. 2. Texture: As someone with combination dehydrated skin that feels extremely tight after using deep cleansing foams, this product leaves my skin feeling less taut after washing. The licorice water seems to help maintain hydration. 3. Packaging: The tube design is hygienic, and the small dispensing opening makes it feel even more sanitary! Also, the opaque tube allows you to see how much product is left, which is convenient. It's easy to grip even with wet hands, so it won't slip. 4. Quantity: The generous amount means you can use it liberally without worrying about running out too quickly.
Cons1. Doesn't lather well: I'm not sure if it's just me, but it doesn't foam up as much as advertised. While lather isn't necessarily an indicator of cleansing effectiveness, it's a bit disappointing... after all, a good lather does make you feel like you're getting a thorough cleanse. 2. Not strong enough for single-step cleansing: As you can see in the photo, it didn't remove waterproof mascara even after two washes. It did clean everything else off well, but on days when I wear heavy eye makeup, I'll definitely need to use an eye makeup remover before using this cleansing foam.
TipIt's supposed to have pore-minimizing effects, but I'll need to use it consistently to see results. As this is a Hwahae Testers review, I couldn't see any improvements after just a week of use.

When used alone: On workdays when I'm too lazy to put on makeup, I just apply sunscreen and brightening moisturizer. After cleansing and applying toner, I found this product worked well enough. My skin didn't feel overly tight, and it effectively removed the brightening moisturizer. For double cleansing: I always start with oil to remove my waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Then I use cleansing foam to tackle any remaining eyeshadow or foundation. With my previous foam cleansers, I often needed a third cleanse with a Lush product to remove stubborn shimmer. However, Acwell's gel-foam texture seems more effective - its rich consistency removes makeup better than traditional foam cleansers! I was pleased with its cleansing effectiveness. For a week of wearing makeup, this cleansing gel-foam alone was usually sufficient to remove everything. What's more, I loved how the rich gel-foam quickly transforms into a soft lather with just a bit of water. The scent is pleasant and not overwhelming, even with frequent use. I initially tried this product because I was concerned about blemishes and pores. After a week of use, I didn't experience any major skin issues! At a price point in the mid to upper 10,000 won range, I'll definitely repurchase this once I've finished the bottle!
ConsIt doesn't completely remove waterproof products, which is a bit disappointing. However, it works well if you use an oil cleanser or cleansing wipes for your first cleanse!
TipI found it works better if you create a lather with a bit of water rather than applying the gel-foam directly to your bare face!

It foams up nicely and feels gentle, which is great for my sensitive skin. The fragrance is lovely, and I love how it leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft! Personally, I prefer cleansers that give a squeaky-clean feeling, so I'm not usually a fan of slippery finishes. However, the Acwell Balancing Gel Cleanser strikes a perfect balance in its after-feel. It manages to give that clean sensation while still leaving my skin feeling silky smooth. I'm really impressed!
ConsIt falls a bit short when it comes to removing heavy makeup in one go. While it handles light sunscreen well, it struggles with completely removing lipstick or eyeliner in a single cleanse. You'll likely need to double cleanse for a thorough makeup removal.

As for hydration, it's actually quite nice.
ConsAs you can see, the cleansing effectiveness is the biggest letdown. It's not enough for a first cleanse, struggling to remove even concealer, let alone mascara.
TipSince I can't upload more photos now, I'll try to take before and after shots of my pores later. I'll delete a few pictures and rewrite this review then.
