It helps remove stubborn dead skin cells and care for pores, leaving the skin texture smooth and refined. As a result, there is significantly less patchiness when applying makeup. While the product contains salicylic acid, which raised some concerns about potential irritation, using it resulted in only a slight redness that quickly subsided. The exfoliation of dead skin cells also left the skin tone looking brighter.
ConsSensitive skin may experience irritation from using the product daily, so it's recommended to use it once a week at first and gradually increase the frequency.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe usage period was about a week, using it morning and evening. The skin type is thick-skinned, with only the T-zone being oily, large pores and sebum, and not prone to breakouts. The texture and fragrance are initially a white, firm formula, but as you rub it with your hands, a soft, fluffy lather gradually forms. The fragrance has a very subtle, refreshing feel, like a hint of mint. It's not overpowering, so it's not burdensome. After cleansing, there's a clean, oil-free feeling! There's a sense of the skin being well-organized. Even when my skin condition wasn't good, I was able to use it without any irritation, so I felt reassured. The positives are that the cleansing power is decent, effectively removing impurities, and in my experience, there's not much irritation. After use, the skin feels smooth and organized. It seems to cleanse the pores thoroughly. Overall, I was satisfied with the thorough, squeaky-clean feeling it provided. Those with sensitive skin may find it strong, but as long as you take care of moisturizing after cleansing, it should be suitable for daily use!
ConsOn days when your skin is sensitive, it may sting a little, so I recommend testing it first before using it. For sensitive skin, it's better to use it 2-3 times a week rather than daily, and it's best to use it when your skin is exfoliating.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe review deadline was quite tight, so I think I wrote about 7 days' worth. Among the cleansers I've used so far, this one has the scent I like the most. It's like "This is the Cica Foam Cleanser for me!" Usually, cosmetic products have a rather strange smell, but this one doesn't, which I really like. The texture is quite soft and creamy. Just rubbing it with my hands doesn't generate a whole lot of lather. It cleanses gently without feeling stripping. Even though I have very sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation or issues. However, I wouldn't say it has a strong calming effect. It seems like a good, basic foam cleanser to have on hand. The tube is easy to squeeze, and the product comes out well without clumping or dripping when lathering. Some cleansers can get clumpy and fall off. Additionally, the combination with the other skincare products I've switched to seems to be working well. My skin tone has become slightly brighter, and the troubled areas and scars seem to be improving. I'm not sure how the effects will develop with continued use, but I'm personally considering buying another tube to try it out further. If you don't have high expectations, this could be a satisfactory, no-frills product.
ConsThe review period is too short, so it is difficult to confirm if the soothing effect is clearly present. When rubbed by hand, the lather does not form abundantly, so a tool is necessary. The clean packaging is an advantage, but if I had to point out a drawback, it would be that the product looks a bit cheap. There is a slight sense of cheapness.
TipUsing a bubble tool allows for the creation of rich, abundant bubbles. Without it, hand washing would only result in a simple, gentle cleansing.

When I was young, I had acne and oily skin, so my pores are wide and I have some oiliness, but my skin is quite dry inside. As I have sensitive skin, it's not easy for me to use peeling-related products. I often can't use AHA and BHA products either, so I have to be careful with them. For the usage, I first cleansed with a cleansing oil, then used this product for the second cleansing. The packaging is a simple tube-type cleansing foam. The texture is a white cream-type cleansing foam. It has a subtle scent, like a medicinal or ointment-like scent, but it's not unpleasant. This is one of the first Hwahae products I've tried. As described, there is a slight stimulation during cleansing, but the degree is mild and it's hardly noticeable afterwards. The instructions say to gently pat it after application, but as a sensitive skin user, I was afraid to do that, so I just rolled it a little more than usual. There were no major events. However, I usually don't get many blemishes, but I noticed a different pattern of blemishes this time. Later, I saw in the product description that this is part of the sebum removal process, which was quite interesting. My chin area, where I tend to get a lot of dead skin, feels smoother. While I'm using a retinol product for my pores, so the pore effect is unclear, my overall skin texture does feel smoother.
ConsAll cleansing foams that provide exfoliation tend to have this drawback, but this one also provides good moisturization. I used it even during the driest season of the year, and while it did leave my skin smoother, it also seemed to dry it out to some degree.
TipIt is good to thoroughly provide moisture and sun protection. If you feel dryness after use, it is recommended to use it only for your evening cleansing routine.

The subtle fragrance made it easy to use without any burden. Although I was concerned that the fine needle-shaped spicules might sting and be irritating on my thin, dry skin, the impact was not as severe as I had expected. I used it with high expectations during the transitional season when a lot of dead skin cells come up, but there was no dramatic effect of removing the accumulated dead skin. ✔️ Moisture 💛💛💛 It doesn't finish as dewy and moisturized as an acidic product, but thanks to the hyaluronic acid, it leaves a fairly moisturized and fluffy feeling after use. There is no severe tightening sensation. ✔️ Cleansing Power 💛💛💛💛 The dense foam cleansed thoroughly with just one cleansing. The cleansing power seems to be good.
ConsThe product was focused on exfoliation, so the peeling function was disappointing. There was no irritation at all, so it would be good to slightly increase the size of the specula particles.
TipApply the product lightly with a dry hand, gently pressing and massaging in a back-and-forth motion from right to left. Don't cleanse in just one direction - also cleanse in the opposite direction to more effectively remove impurities trapped in the pores.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewers after using the product for about 5 days. ✅️ Sensitive, acne-prone skin ✅️ Oily skin ♥️ Although it contains spicules, the irritation is not as much as expected! My skin is very thin and sensitive, so I tested it on my hand first, and there was a slight stinging sensation, but when I actually cleansed my face, the irritation was not as severe as I had anticipated. 👍 ♥️ The lather is nicely dense! Contrary to my expectations, the lather is dense and abundant.
ConsThe things I found lacking while using it were: 🥲 The cleansing power was a bit disappointing (from the reviews, people say the cleansing power is good, but when I used it, even after cleansing, the white cast sunscreen didn't get completely removed...) 🥲 The scent was not my favorite.. I think it would have been best if it was fragrance-free 😢 It's not completely unusable, but I wouldn't recommend it to those with sensitive noses!!
TipConsidering that Hwahae contains speculae, it is recommended that those with sensitive skin use it in small amounts once a day (in the evening/after double cleansing). Hwahae Trial Reviewers suggest layering moisturizing products after using the product.

I was able to use it as a great opportunity :) It contains centella asiatica extract and has a 0.00 skin irritation rating, so it's great for soothing effects and is also known for pore management, so it's extremely popular. Even using just a small amount, the creamy, rich lather was incredibly satisfying! The scent was a pleasant, refreshing one :) They say the spicule effect provides a peeling effect, and after washing, my skin felt clean and refreshed, so double cleansing wasn't necessary. The Neultuentes Spicule Cica Foam Cleanser, which provides low-irritation pore care and a peeling effect, is highly recommended.
ConsThe price seems a bit high compared to the volume. haha; I wish they would also offer a larger size!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsDuring the 10-day use, the most satisfactory aspects were the cleansing power and gentle feel. - After cleansing, the skin did not feel tight and remained moisturized, which was good. ✔ Lather: Even with a small amount, the lather was rich and creamy, allowing for a soft cleansing. Particularly, the fine and creamy texture of the lather minimized skin friction, enabling use without irritation. ✔ Cleansing power: Fine dust, sunscreen, and light makeup were sufficiently removed with just one cleansing. After use, the skin felt refreshed, and the moisturized finish remained without excessive oil removal. ✔ Soothing effect: Thanks to the cica ingredients, the reddened skin quickly calmed down after cleansing. Even with sensitive skin, there was no stinging or drying sensation, allowing for comfortable use. ✔ Post-use feel: Many cleansers tend to leave a strong tightening sensation, but this product had an adequate moisturizing effect, so the skin did not feel tight, and immediate skincare was not necessary.
ConsThe cleansing power may be slightly lacking for oily skin: on days with excessive oil or after wearing heavy makeup for a long time, a single cleansing may not leave a refreshed feeling, so double cleansing may be necessary at times. Especially when wearing heavy makeup, it is better to use it with a dedicated makeup remover. The fragrance-free nature may be divisive: while the lack of artificial fragrance gives a gentle feel, it may seem rather bland to those who expect a refreshing or pleasant scent. Adding a subtle herbal or citrus fragrance could have made it more enjoyable to use. The tube packaging design: to use the product to the very end, the tube needs to be squeezed tightly, which becomes increasingly inconvenient as the volume decreases. A pump dispenser or a more flexible tube material would make it easier to use until the last bit.
Tip✔ Maximize the effect by using a bubble net: Using a bubble net to create bubbles results in much richer and softer bubbles, reducing skin irritation while increasing cleansing power, compared to creating bubbles by hand. ✔ Lukewarm water is even better for cleansing: Cleansing with water that is too hot can dry out the skin, so using lukewarm water and a bubble pack results in a more moisturized and soothing feeling after rinsing. ✔ Dry/sensitive skin: use alone, oily skin: double cleanse recommended: For dry skin, using this product alone is sufficient, but for oily skin, using a cleansing oil followed by the Cica Cleansing Foam results in a more refreshing cleansing.

'The formula is dense and adheres well to the face, providing a deep cleansing sensation. While I typically prefer powder-type cleansers as foam formulas don't always suit my skin, this product was comfortable to use continuously without irritation, likely due to the cica ingredients. It does seem to help promote skin cell turnover, as I noticed fading of blemishes and an overall brighter complexion.'
ConsPersonally, I thought it was good, but for those who may feel the slightly tacky finish is a bit drying, I would recommend considering it.
TipIn the dry state, rolling the entire product and gradually adding water while continuing to roll resulted in a more refreshing and cleaner cleansing effect!

I mainly used this product for my evening cleansing routine, along with a vibrating cleansing device! It has a typical cream-like texture and when used with the device, it lathers up well and was easy to use. There were reviews saying it has good cleansing power and dries quickly, but so far I've been fine with it! I have acne-prone skin, and when cleansing isn't effective, breakouts occur, but that hasn't been the case here - it seems to cleanse my skin thoroughly. There's also no irritation, so I'm quite satisfied. I think the strength of this product lies in its subtle yet effective performance, without any major standout features.
ConsTypically, I haven't found the fragrance to be bothersome when cleansing my face, but this one was a bit irritating. It had a grassy, almost ointment-like scent. That said, it's not unusable by any means!! There's nothing particularly disappointing about it, but I don't feel like I absolutely need this product either... So I'm on the fence about whether to repurchase it.
TipWhile all cleansers and soaps are similar, try using a cleansing brush or device to create a lather! It will be much less irritating and allow you to cleanse your skin more thoroughly!
