Using it daily or every other day could really help manage oily skin (though it won't eliminate it completely, of course). I don't use a separate eye makeup remover, and this cleansing oil removes makeup more easily than others I've tried. Even when I rub it close to my eyes, there's no stinging or discomfort. Usually, after double cleansing with an alkaline foam cleanser, my skin surface feels dry. But with this, there's no dryness at all. It's exactly as described in the product details. I'm really impressed! The container's opening mechanism and the included spatula are fantastic additions.
ConsI'm afraid I'll use it up too quickly!

However, it has an incredibly creamy texture that melts effortlessly with just the warmth of your hands. It becomes oil-like but doesn't run, making it super convenient to use! - Cleansing effectiveness: After removing eye and lip makeup with a separate remover, this balm effectively cleaned off the rest of my makeup (I believe it could even handle light eye makeup like eyeliner and eyeshadow without mascara). Fascinatingly, the more I massaged, the more I felt it drawing out sebum! - Irritation: Unlike some harsh pore-clearing products with strong chemical scents, this balm effectively removes sebum and blackheads without any skin irritation.
ConsThe ingredients list is slightly disappointing, but since it doesn't cause any blemishes or issues, it's not a major concern.
TipFor best results, I recommend massaging for over 10 minutes, then rinsing off residue with a cleansing sponge.

At first, I was skeptical about how this thick, shoe polish-like texture would roll on the skin. But when you scoop a small amount with the spatula and massage it onto your face, it rolls surprisingly smoothly. The feeling is quite different from cleansing oils, focusing more on sebum removal and thorough cleansing. ✔️Excellent cleansing power for removing sebum! Is it due to the charcoal's properties? After rolling, emulsifying, rolling again, and rinsing with water, your face feels deeply cleansed. Unlike some cleansing oils that can feel heavy if you choose the wrong texture, this product leaves you feeling refreshed without any lingering heaviness. ✔️Overall verdict! Regardless of The Hwahae Testers' selection, I'm willing to purchase this with my own money and continue using it. It feels like I've finally found a first-step cleanser with a truly satisfying formula.
ConsIt's hard to find any downsides, as I'm so satisfied with how it performs. If I had one small wish, it would be for a larger size option. When using the spatula, it seems like the product might run out faster than expected, considering the total amount in the container.
TipFor areas with concentrated blackheads or sebum like the T-zone or sides of the nose, focus on massaging those spots thoroughly. Then, add a bit of water and roll it as you would when emulsifying a cleansing oil. This technique definitely boosts the sebum removal effectiveness!

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.ProsI was amazed at how incredibly gentle the texture is! I was genuinely surprised when I started rolling it on my face. It's so pleasant to use without any irritation! The cleansing effectiveness is great - it removes face makeup well. For point makeup, as per the instructions, if you dampen it slightly with water and emulsify it, it removes eyeliner effectively! Waterproof mascara leaves a bit behind, though. Above all, after finishing cleansing, I usually feel an immediate tightness and stretching sensation, but with this product, my skin feels soft and hydrated with no skin tightness at all! I've avoided other cleansing balms because they can cause blemishes if not used correctly, but this one rinses off well with water and doesn't cause any blemishes. I think even those with super sensitive skin would be able to use it well.
ConsI didn't see significant effects for pore management... It feels like it only partially removes sebum. No matter how diligently I rolled it, even after steaming, there wasn't a noticeable sebum removal. Still, I'll keep using it consistently!
TipRemoving makeup after steaming or right after exercise when pores are open can help somewhat with sebum removal.

Removing the plastic seal reveals the charcoal cleansing balm's black color. It's fragrance-free, and when you massage it with your hands, it has a clay-like texture. It starts as a solid but gradually becomes smooth as you cleanse. It effectively removes blackheads and whiteheads, and after rinsing with water, your skin feels fresh and hydrated!
ConsI can't think of any downsides. This experience made me realize that cleansing balms are far superior to cleansing oils!
TipAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found that massaging the product a bit more on areas lacking moisture and where blackheads are more prominent leaves my skin feeling hydrated and moisturized.

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.ProsTexture: Like other cleansing balms, it has a very soft consistency. It's easy to scoop with a spatula or your fingers. The texture is incredibly smooth. Scent: Personally, I love that it reminds me of acacia gum. It has a lovely floral fragrance. I was a bit worried about the scent since it's a charcoal cleansing balm, but I'm satisfied with its subtle floral aroma! Cleansing effectiveness: As expected from a cleansing balm, it removes makeup really well. It even takes off mascara on full-makeup days! I usually apply a lot of sunscreen, and this balm removes it effortlessly. I'm very pleased! For sebum and pores, I focus on those areas with extra massaging and emulsification. It seems to manage sebum as well as my previous Banila Co cleansing balm. Hydration: I don't prefer products that leave my skin feeling tight after cleansing. This product leaves my skin feeling less tight and dry after use! Especially now when it's so dry that my lips are cracking, I think this would suit combination dehydrated skin types like mine well! It's great that I can go straight to applying emulsion after cleansing without any dryness.
ConsThere are some ingredients to be cautious about. Those with super sensitive skin should definitely do a patch test. While I personally like the scent, some people might not enjoy it. The price is a bit high and the amount is small. Since cleansing balms are used daily, it would be better if there was a larger size available.
TipEveryone knows that for a more thorough cleanse, you should massage for 1-2 minutes and then emulsify, right?

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.ProsIt's a jar-type cleansing balm, and the entire contents are pitch black. I was curious about how it would look on my face, but as I applied it, it emulsified into a dark gray color. I've used products before that were hard to remove because they didn't emulsify well, but this one melts smoothly on the face and rinses off easily with water. Perhaps because of the charcoal, it feels like it washes off cleanly without any residue! I liked how it removed makeup without feeling slippery, leaving my skin feeling smooth. After using it, I didn't experience any blemishes, and it removed my makeup effectively, so I'm satisfied!
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad to mention! Though the container feels a bit thick compared to the amount of product inside, making it seem like there's slightly less than expected.

It's not so much that it melts, but rather it softly dissolves? That's the sensation I had. The color might contribute to this impression. Thanks to this, it removed makeup gently without irritation when massaged onto the face, and when water touched it, it turned milky white and rinsed off well. When scooping it with the spatula, the texture seemed firm, but once I put it on my hand and warmed it up, it became incredibly soft and removed makeup effectively. The included spatula is a great size and very convenient to use.
ConsThe scent of the product is a matter of personal preference, but for me, it was just okay.

It's great for removing sebum. Texture: It's not overly slippery, making it comfortable to apply. Ingredients: While one ingredient is a bit disappointing, it's still better than many other cleansers out there. Cleansing effectiveness: Being a balm cleanser, it removes sebum well when you massage it in properly. Application: As it's a balm-type cleanser, scooping it out feels natural and not inconvenient. Price: While opinions may vary, for me, considering I don't use balm cleansers often, the quantity and functionality seem reasonably priced.
ConsSize: It would be nice if a larger size was available. Ingredients: The presence of PEG is quite disappointing...

On two days, I only used sunscreen, so I didn't need the cleansing balm. The texture was surprisingly silky, and even a small amount was effective for cleansing. Without using a separate eye or lip makeup remover, I first melted my face makeup with the charcoal cleanser, then rolled it around. It removed everything well. I had some blemishes on the bridge of my nose, but they cleared up without leaving any marks. I think it would be good for people with dry skin too, as it's richer than expected.
ConsThe spatula that attaches to the lid is round-shaped instead of having a concave spoon shape. You have to attach it backwards for it to stay in place. Otherwise, mine kept falling off. It wasn't as effective as I'd hoped for removing dead skin cells and sebum around the nose area.
