  Pros

  I recently tried Acwell's Bubble-Free Cleansing Gel and liked it more than expected, so I decided to try their Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Gel for a bit more cleansing effectiveness. This product has a slightly thicker consistency than regular cleansing gels. As a result, while it doesn't create abundant foam, it does produce a dense, rich lather that feels satisfying. What I really appreciated was that after cleansing, my skin didn't feel tight or dry at all.

  Cons

  I haven't noticed the pore-related benefits mentioned on the product page yet, which is a bit disappointing.

  Pros

  Beyond just cleansing, this product takes care to the next level with its patented pore-tightening ingredient! It's a pore care cleanser that helps improve your pores! The rich gel texture transforms into a luxurious foam when it touches water, giving your pores a deep, targeted treatment. With 30% licorice water, it helps soothe skin, provide hydration, and brighten your complexion. It even takes care of pores, dead skin cells, and skin texture all at once! You can cleanse gently without irritation, leaving your skin feeling moisturized and not tight. For super sensitive skin, Acwell is truly the best!

  Cons

  The cleansing effectiveness is a bit lacking. It works really well if you use it after your first cleanse.

  Pros

  This gel foam cleanser is delightfully rich and creamy. Just a small amount lathers up beautifully when mixed with water, providing a gentle and soothing cleanse. Even with my super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation after use. Compared to other products, my face felt less tight after rinsing. The standout feature is the LHA ingredient, which works hard to smooth out skin texture by effectively removing dead skin cells. It left my skin feeling incredibly soft right away. With its ability to clear away excess oil and dead skin cells, I think it would be perfect for a morning cleanse. It contains 8 types of hyaluronic acid and licorice water, which are said to calm the skin, provide hydration, and offer brightening effects. I'm excited to keep using it consistently. The double pack is great value for money, making it an easy choice for regular use. Recommended for these skin types: • Those concerned about pores • People with super sensitive skin • If your skin feels tight after cleansing • Anyone looking for gentle exfoliation

  Cons

  I was a bit surprised to find that its cleansing effectiveness isn't particularly strong. It didn't remove gel eyeliner very well, which was unexpected. I'd definitely recommend using this as a second cleanse. If you need to rely on this product alone for cleansing, you might want to consider using it with a pore brush or sponge for better results.

  Pros

  It's incredibly rich and somehow makes me feel great while cleansing. I can almost hear my skin improving!

  Cons

  However, the scent might be polarizing, and there's a bit of tightness after washing that I can't ignore.

  Tip

  For best results, use the cleansing gel in the morning and the cleansing gel foam at night. This way, you can maximize the benefits of each product.

  Pros

  The texture feels rich and creamy, but it becomes incredibly slippery the moment water touches it. As someone with super sensitive, dry, and combination dehydrated skin, I've been really struggling with a damaged skin barrier lately. However, since using this product, along with other nourishing treatments and staying hydrated, my skin is finally starting to recover. Especially on my days off, when I do a light morning cleanse with a bit of extra massaging, the hydration lasts for ages. It's so refreshing!

  Cons

  The only minor issue might be keeping the area around the cap clean during use. People with blemishes should definitely consider trying this product!

  Tip

  To use, start by applying a small amount of the cleanser diluted with a bit of water, then gently massage it in. I pay extra attention to areas that usually bother me, like between my eyebrows and below my lower lip, where dead skin cells and whiteheads tend to accumulate. I give these spots a thorough but gentle scrub. The formula is so mild that it hasn't caused any skin damage. The result? A thorough cleanse that leaves your skin feeling clean yet moisturized.

  Pros

  Summary: I've been using this for my morning cleanse and it's working great! My skin profile: 1. Combination dehydrated, oily skin 2. I wear heavy makeup and double cleanse almost daily 3. I prefer products that leave my skin feeling squeaky clean without tightness What I loved: ⭐️ Skin texture - After cleansing, my skin felt wonderfully firm and supple. ⭐️ No tightness - The smooth and gentle finish left my skin feeling hydrated. Even before applying skincare, there was no tightness. ⭐️ Gel texture - This was my first time trying a gel cleanser, and I found it fascinating. Its bouncy texture doesn't run down your hand, which is great. It also doesn't drip excessively when mixed with water. ⭐️ Gentle formula - I wanted something to remove morning oiliness, and compared to stronger cleansers I've used before, this feels gentler and perfect for morning cleansing.

  Cons

  What could be improved: 🫥 Cleansing power - As someone who wears heavy makeup daily, I didn't feel like it cleaned thoroughly enough. It seems the gentler formula comes at the cost of cleansing effectiveness. 🫥 Lather - If you're looking for a rich, foamy lather, you might be disappointed. This doesn't produce much foam. 🫥 Slippery finish - The slippery finish typical of low pH cleansers made it hard to tell if I'd cleansed properly. As someone who prefers a squeaky clean feel, this wasn't ideal for me. That's why I use it for morning cleansing rather than as a second step after cleansing oil.

  Pros

  This is a review from The Hwahae Testers. I have combination dehydrated skin that's become extremely dry lately, causing a lot of dead skin cells to appear. So I've been focusing on hydration and exfoliation. Scent: I was worried it might smell like herbal medicine due to the licorice ingredient, but it doesn't! The scent isn't strong, so I think anyone can use it without hesitation. Texture: When you squeeze it out, it's just like honey jelly! A bouncy gel formula! The foam is rich and the gel doesn't easily drip, making it convenient to use. Cleansing effectiveness: I usually only wear basic cushion foundation and lip color, and this cleanser easily removes that. After cleansing with just this foam and wiping with a toner pad, there was nothing left on the pad. Exfoliation: Recently, I've been concerned about dead skin cells, but this product is more for daily maintenance rather than dramatic effects. If you have visibly flaky skin, I'd recommend a peeling gel first. This is great for daily care though - after cleansing, your skin feels smooth and glowing! Irritation: I've been blowing my nose a lot due to a cold, so the area under my nose is raw. I was worried it might sting there while cleansing... but there was no irritation at all!

  Cons

  Everything was great, but if I had to find one thing to improve... I wish it had a slightly stronger exfoliating effect!

  Tip

  It seems really good for improving skin texture! If you follow up with a toner mask after cleansing, you can achieve that coveted 'glass skin' look.

  Pros

  This gel cleansing foam contains licorice root extract, which is great for soothing the skin! It's a slightly brownish-tinted transparent gel that lathers up when you add water and gently massage it. The cleanser has a mild acidic pH, but it still produces a rich, abundant foam that gives you that satisfying clean feeling! It gently exfoliates dead skin cells and calms the skin, which temporarily improves the appearance of pores. After washing, my skin felt firmer and more supple!

  Cons

  I didn't really find any downsides to this product! While using it, I didn't experience any blemishes or breakouts!

  Tip

  It also contains hyaluronic acid, so I didn't have to rush to apply hydration right after cleansing! Of course, it's still beneficial to follow up quickly with a toner or serum.

  Pros

  I'm a bit late with this review as I wanted to use it for a full two weeks first. The texture is not thin, but rather a gel-type foam cleanser that adheres really well to the skin. I loved the refreshing, squeaky-clean feeling it gave without causing dryness or tightness, which is unusual for that level of cleansing. While I'm not sure about pore reduction, I was amazed at how smooth and soft my skin felt immediately after washing. The foam isn't as rich as some other brands, but that's okay. Despite having only one caution ingredient, it still cleanses effectively. Licorice extract is the second main ingredient, so it's present in high amounts. Perhaps thanks to this, it feels like a soothing foam cleansing gel that doesn't cause any blemishes. For this price and performance, I'm satisfied with The Hwahae Testers' choice.

  Cons

  The scent might be polarizing - personally, I didn't love it, which was disappointing. I also wish it had fewer ingredients. While there's no severe irritation, I did feel a slight tingling sensation on my face during cleansing, even though it doesn't sting when rinsing.

  Pros

  I felt my skin was comfortable while using this! It didn't cleanse too squeaky clean, so I liked that my skin didn't feel overly dry. It feels perfect for morning cleansing! The foam was rich and creamy, and the fresh scent was pleasant without being overwhelming.

  Cons

  It might be difficult to expect perfect cleansing effectiveness. When wearing heavy makeup, it's best to use this as a second cleanser after thoroughly removing makeup first. Also, the foam isn't extremely abundant. I'm currently using it by mixing in a bit of water to create as much lather as possible.
