ConsI bought this hoping it would help with my blackhead concerns, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to have much effect on them.

While the texture is firm, it melts smoothly when applied, spreading easily without irritating my skin. It's quite effective at removing makeup, but where it really shines is in tackling those pesky blemishes! If you work it in well, it's a game-changer for clearing out pores. I haven't experienced any breakouts, and my face feels so comfortable after cleansing. The scent is mild, almost fragrance-free, which is perfect for those days when my skin feels super sensitive. It's become my go-to first cleanser because it's so gentle for daily use.
ConsThe downside is that being a solid balm, you need to use a spatula, which can be a bit of a hassle. While it's hygienic, it's not as quick as squeezing product directly onto your hands when you're in a rush. Also, because it leaves no oily residue, on extremely dry days my skin can feel a bit tight if I don't moisturize immediately after cleansing. It takes a bit more effort to remove heavy-duty waterproof products, which can be slightly inconvenient. I was surprised at how quickly I went through the product too. While it's gentle and lightweight, it might not provide the deep cleanse some are looking for. If you're after a more thorough cleanse, try the pink version, and if you have very dry skin, go for the yellow one! I received samples of both and they're great!
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin, remember to layer on hydration after cleansing to maintain your skin's oil and moisture balance. This cleanser works hard to remove impurities, but it's important to follow up with products that replenish your skin's hydration levels for that coveted Inner Glow!

This product, however, worked quite well for my skin. The best part? No blemishes! Sensitive skin often reacts to new cleansers with tiny bumps or red acne, but I experienced none of that with this Banila Co product. After a few uses, I was so convinced that I repurchased the full-size version. Another thing I loved was how clean it left my skin without any residue. Despite its oil balm texture, I initially worried, "Will it leave an oily film?" But not at all! It rinses off smoothly and cleanly with water, leaving my skin neither tight nor greasy after washing. What's more, I felt it helped with dead skin cells too. While it's not specifically for exfoliation, it gently dissolves makeup residue and old impurities while smoothing the skin's surface, which I found very satisfying. The scent is a subtle herbal aroma, not irritating at all, and it actually makes the cleansing process enjoyable. Overall, I was thoroughly pleased with its cleansing effectiveness, gentleness on the skin, residue-free finish, and ability to smooth out dead skin cells.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be the inconvenience of having to open the lid and scoop out the product with a spatula. It's tricky to open when your hands are wet, and you need to clean the scoop after each use, so it requires a bit more attention to hygiene. It would have been much more convenient if it were a pump type. That said, the sturdy container design did give me peace of mind when traveling.
TipOn days when I wear heavy makeup, I first apply the cleansing balm to dry hands and dissolve the makeup. Then, I add a little water to my hands and massage again to emulsify it. After rinsing with lukewarm water, I follow up with a light gel-type foam cleanser for a second cleanse. This routine leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and clean.

I've tried others, but I always come back to this. It has great cleansing effectiveness, and most importantly, it doesn't cause any blemishes.
ConsWhile being unremarkable could be seen as a drawback, I'm satisfied simply because it doesn't have any other flaws.
TipWhen my skin feels rough, I scoop out a generous amount and gently massage it in. It really helps smooth out my complexion.

It truly dissolves all sebum without causing blemishes, leaving your skin texture noticeably improved.
ConsBe cautious about using it daily as it requires double cleansing, which might lead to super sensitive skin if overused.

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.ProsThe cleansing power is excellent, and when you roll it around the nose area, it's great for removing sebum and clearing out blackheads. This is my holy grail cleansing balm! It's suitable even for blemish-prone and super sensitive skin. (Works well for combination dehydrated skin with blemishes and sensitivity)
ConsThe price is a bit steep. If it were just a little more affordable, I'd be truly satisfied...
TipIt's particularly effective when you have excess sebum on your nose - just roll it on and wash it off!

I used to struggle with cleansing oils not fully removing my mascara, but this takes care of everything! The balm melts so easily in your hands, making it a breeze to use. Unlike runny oils, its texture is super convenient. Plus, it's gentle on my skin - I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation. It's a game-changer!
ConsI had high hopes for this dissolving sebum, but it didn't live up to my expectations. It seems less effective than cleansing oils - maybe it needs more time to emulsify? My sebum remains largely untouched. If you're like me with extremely oily pores on your nose and you're buying this for sebum control, you might end up disappointed.
TipWhen choosing a cleansing balm, consider your skin type and specific needs. While some find it effective for all makeup removal, others may need a separate product for stubborn mascara or sebum control. It's always a good idea to patch test new products, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to blemishes.

ConsI was hoping it would dissolve and remove blackheads, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to that expectation.

It wasn't extremely good or bad, just kind of average, you know? But my skin is a bit sensitive, and I didn't get any breakouts or anything after using this. I think trying it out once wouldn't be a bad idea.
ConsThe usage experience was a bit disappointing, and there didn't seem to be any definite effects.

I also really liked that I didn't experience any breakouts when switching to this new product, which was always an issue for me before. This product is truly gentle and suitable for those with sensitive skin like myself.
ConsThere were no real issues. As long as you rinse it thoroughly, there should be no problems!
