However, it turned out to be a very creamy texture that melted beautifully with the warmth of my hands, becoming an oily consistency, but without the runny nature of oil cleansers. It was incredibly convenient! -Cleansing Power: After removing my eye and lip makeup, the cleansing balm effectively removed my entire makeup look (I think it would even be able to remove mascara and eyeshadow without much effort). As I continued rolling it on my skin, I was amazed to see more and more sebum coming out, which was quite fascinating! -Irritation: The sebum-dissolving ingredients have a slightly strong, chemical-like scent, but they were able to effectively remove the sebum and blackheads without causing any irritation to my skin.
ConsThe ingredients are a bit disappointing, but since there are no issues with breakouts or other problems, it's not a major concern.
TipDoing a thorough 10-minute massage and then following up with a water rinse using a cleansing sponge seems to work well.

At first, the dense texture felt like shoe polish - I wondered if it would really roll smoothly on the skin. But when I scooped a small amount with a spatula and massaged it onto the skin, it rolled surprisingly smoothly. The usage experience is quite different from cleansing oils, giving a strong sense of cleansing and removing sebum. ✔️Excellent cleansing ability in removing sebum! Perhaps due to the effects of charcoal, after rolling, emulsifying, and rinsing with water, my face definitely feels deeply cleansed. With cleansing oils, if you don't choose the texture carefully, the rich oiliness can sometimes feel stuffy, but this product has no such issues and leaves a refreshed feeling. ✔️Overall review! Regardless of whether it is selected by the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, I would gladly continue purchasing this with my own money. I feel like I've finally found a primary cleansing product with a highly satisfactory formula.
ConsIt's hard to find any major drawbacks, as the usage experience is so satisfactory. If I had to wish for something, it would be for a larger volume size to be available. With just one use of the spatula, the total amount in the full-size product seems to get used up quite quickly.
TipBe sure to focus on massaging the areas with concentrated blackheads or sebum, such as the T-zone or sides of the nose. Add a bit of water and emulsify it like a cleansing oil while rolling it on. This will definitely boost the sebum removal effect.

The Hwahae Trial Reviewer cleansing balm also cleanses gently and effectively, just like the Banila Co. one. 🖤 What I liked the most was the lid-opening mechanism and the ability to use a spatula with the lid, which was a really great idea..! The clean packaging is also great. It doesn't sting the eyes at all, and it works well for sensitive skin. Since the name includes 'moisturizing', there's little tightness after cleansing.👀✨
ConsThey say charcoal is good for absorbing sebum, but I'm not sure about its effectiveness on whiteheads and blackheads..🥲
TipBe thorough with the emulsification process~

It is very soft. *Fragrance: Personally, I felt it had a scent similar to acacia gum, with a floral aroma. Since it is a charcoal cleansing balm, I was a bit worried about the fragrance, but the subtle floral scent was satisfactory! *Cleansing Power: True to its nature as a cleansing balm, it has great cleansing power. It removed my full makeup, including mascara, very well! I usually apply a lot of sunscreen, and it removed that effortlessly as well. I'm very satisfied! I made sure to roll it more on the T-zone area and emulsify it, and it seemed to manage sebum and pores just like the Vanillakko cleansing balm I used before. *Moisturizing: I don't prefer products that make my skin feel tight or dry after cleansing, and this product didn't leave that kind of feeling at all! Especially these days when my skin is dry and my lips are cracked, I think it will suit people like me who have dehydrated and oily skin. After washing my face, I could immediately apply my lotion without any dryness.
Cons*There are some concerning ingredients in the formula, so those with sensitive skin might need to do a patch test. *The fragrance might not be liked by everyone, even though I personally enjoyed it. *The price is a bit high, and the volume is small. Since cleansing balms are used daily, a larger size would be better.
TipAs you all know, if you roll it for a minute or two and go through the emulsification process, you can cleanse more thoroughly.

The texture is thicker than cream cheese. So you need to scoop it up with the built-in spoon. I was wondering if it would melt, but when I massaged it onto my face, it melted away smoothly, which was surprising. 2. The cleansing power was good. 3. I was worried that the oily texture wouldn't rinse off completely, but it rinsed off well with lukewarm water, leaving just the right amount of moisturizing effect.
ConsI wish the built-in spoon would stick to the lid better. Other than that, I don't have any complaints!

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'm quite meticulous when it comes to cleansing products since I always apply my makeup quite thickly. I usually use cleansing oil to melt away my makeup and sebum, but this balm type is my first time trying it. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations. I had the product for a while before I finally used it one day after a night of drinking when I couldn't remove my makeup before bed. I ended up loving it so much that I've been using it consistently since then. My pores were clogged with sebum and makeup residue, almost leading to blackheads, but after using this product and emulsifying it, my nose looks noticeably smoother now. I'm very satisfied with it. Although it's thick, it melts well on the skin due to the warmth, and the emulsification works great. After rinsing, my skin is left with a soft, supple finish.
ConsThere doesn't seem to be any major downsides. As someone with sensitive skin, I'm pleased that it hasn't caused any breakouts. The only slight disappointment is that I want to use it right away, but I have to hold back.
TipIn addition to using it when I'm removing my makeup, I also use this cleansing balm frequently when I'm washing my face. Since I have an oily complexion, I sometimes do a double cleanse after the initial wash, massaging the balm onto my skin and emulsifying it a second time to thoroughly remove any remaining sebum. However, as it can be quite harsh, I always make sure to follow up with a nourishing face mask.

It melted more softly than just dissolving, if that makes sense. I think the color contributed to that impression as well. Thanks to that, it wiped off my face gently without irritation and makeup, and it lathered up nicely when water was added. The spatula was firm when scooping it out, but once I applied it to my hands, it became incredibly soft and effectively removed my makeup. The included spatula is a good size and convenient to use.
ConsThe scent of the product is a matter of personal preference, but I found it to be just average for me.

I add a mild foaming cleanser or cleansing milk to my evening skincare routine. My skin is on the drier side, lacking moisture, slightly sensitive, and prone to occasional breakouts. I use this product every other evening. 1. Texture: While it is called a cleansing balm, it is not a hard solid type, but rather a creamy, rich texture. There is a spatula inside the container, so it is easy to scoop out. 2. Application: When I first apply it, there is a slight grainy feeling, making me think it has some scrubbing particles. But that is not the case. The graininess seems to be from the charcoal ingredient, but there are no visible exfoliating beads. It applies very smoothly, almost like a cream rather than a balm. It feels similar to a massage cream. Although the product itself is quite dark in color due to the charcoal, the color lightens as I massage it in. 3. Cleansing Performance Since my skin leans more towards the dry side, and I only wear light makeup, I use this product every other day. On the days I use this product, there is hardly any residue left on the cotton pad when I do my toner step - not completely gone, but noticeably less than when I just use a regular foaming cleanser. I was hoping it would help with blackheads and clogged pores, but I'm not sure about the effectiveness on that. My husband, who has very oily skin, said he felt his T-zone area felt less greasy after using this. 4. After Cleansing I'm used to the slightly moisturized feeling after using a mild cleanser. But with this product, my skin feels even more nourished and hydrated, almost like I've applied a moisturizing cream. My husband, who prefers a squeaky clean feeling, couldn't tolerate the residual moisture and had to do an additional cleansing step. 5. Ingredients There are a couple of potentially sensitizing ingredients, but I personally didn't experience any irritation or discomfort. I consider this to be a gentle formula. It has a very mild, almost unscented fragrance.
ConsPackaging: The fact that I have to scoop it out is less convenient compared to a pump dispenser. The texture being so rich means I might end up using too much product. There is a transparent cover inside the container, and I'm not sure if I should remove it before use or just leave it on top while using.
TipI think this product would work best for days when I have a full face of makeup, as it seems to provide a more thorough cleansing. Massaging it in for a while seems to enhance the moisturizing benefits compared to just rinsing it off immediately.

Texture: It has a slightly firm texture, but it melts quickly with body temperature, making it easy to cleanse! I was worried it might be too firm and not roll well, but this one doesn't have that problem, so it's great🫶🏻 Usage: After using it, the dead skin and sebum on my skin are somewhat removed, and my skin looks brighter and more refined! The spatula makes it convenient to use, which I liked:)
ConsI wish there was a larger size available! It seems like I'll use it up pretty quickly🥹

When scooping with a spatula, it has a firm feel, but when applied to the face, it spreads on smoothly and softly. Irritation: Even though I have sensitive skin, there is absolutely no irritation. There is no tightness after washing, and the texture is so soft that it gently glides on during cleansing. Cleansing Power: I normally use sunscreen, foundation, eyebrow, eyelash mascara, lips, and eyeshadow, and it completely removed all of them. Overall: This is my first time using a balm-type cleanser, and I can't believe I didn't use it sooner. Highly recommended. If cleansing oils or milks don't work for you, try a balm-type.
ConsThere is really nothing bad. It would be even better if the volume was larger. Anyway, it's great.
