There are small granules, so it is not completely non-irritating, but my skin did not become red or experience any breakouts after use! 🌱 Texture The texture is a bit thick, with a sorbet-like feel. When water is added, it becomes more creamy and supple, rolling smoothly on the skin. 🌱 Fragrance Personally, I also liked the fragrance. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it has a calming scent. 🌱 Cleansing Power I used it as a second cleanse after an oil cleanser, and the cleansing power was good. Makeup residue was removed completely and cleanly. I'm not sure if it's good for blackheads, but it definitely improved my skin texture - it feels smoother. Despite the good cleansing power, it did not leave my skin feeling dry after use. 💭 What I Liked The product container is filled to the brim, so it seems like it will last a long time. A small amount is sufficient for cleansing. There is a small spoon included for hygienic use.
ConsThe fragrance is quite strong, so it may not appeal to those with sensitive skin. The cleansing power is sufficient if you only use sunscreen, but for daily makeup with foundation, eyeliner, and mascara, we recommend using it as a secondary cleansing step. This product alone may not be able to thoroughly remove all your makeup. Also, if you prefer a squeaky-clean finish, you may feel some residue after using this product. For those with sensitive skin, we recommend using it 1-2 times a week, as there is some level of irritation, so it may not be suitable for daily use as a foam cleanser.
TipWe recommend using an appropriate amount (the size of a 50-100 won coin) of the product. Wet your hands, work up a rich lather, and gently apply it to your skin.

After cleansing, it leaves a clean and refreshed feeling, so as a dry-skinned person, I plan to use it more often in the summer. I think it will suit oily skin types well. I recommend it to those who like the refreshed feeling after cleansing!! And it's convenient for managing blackheads 👍
ConsSince I also have sensitive skin, using it daily would be too much for my skin, so using it once or twice a week was just right!! And the mascara doesn't come off easily either - if you rub your eyes too much, it can irritate them, so if you use a strong mascara, it's better to remove it first and then cleanse your face!
TipIt was a bit thicker than expected, so it felt slightly irritating when applying it. Dampening it with a bit of water and then applying it worked better!

I've been told a lot that my skin seems to have improved a lot around me!! I didn't change anything else, just changed the cleansing, and they asked me what I was using!! Even though I'm really dry-skinned, I felt less tightness after washing and coming out with this one
ConsThe cleansing power is not that great 😢 I like to cleanse everything with just one product, but it doesn't remove things like mascara. I'd recommend not using it if you have really serious sensitivity issues! My friend tried it once and her face actually got red (she has really severe sensitivity though!!).
TipFirst, moisten it with a small amount of water to soften the formulation and apply it to the skin! Next, apply a generous amount of water to your face, work up a lather, and pay extra attention to areas with blackheads or uneven texture - it's great to be thorough in those spots!!

True to its name, this cleanser has a very chewy and dense texture. The thick texture allows it to be used like a wash-off pack as well. 🍃Exfoliation There are small granules in the product that seem useful for removing built-up dead skin. However, I would not recommend this to those with sensitive skin.
ConsThe fragrance has a slightly artificial, sweet mugwort rice cake scent that I think will be quite divisive! Personally, I disliked it. The cleansing power seems inadequate for heavy makeup, and this level of cleansing power would only be suitable for light morning or simple makeup. (The after-use feeling is not smooth and squeaky clean, but rather moisturized.) The packaging, with the built-in spatula for application, was a bit inconvenient. As mentioned earlier, the Hwahae soap contains small granules that could be irritating during cleansing. Sensitive-skinned individuals should take this into consideration before purchasing. In conclusion, while I had the opportunity to try the Hwahae Trial Reviewers' product, it is not something I would repurchase with my own money.
TipApplying it like a pack, leaving it on and gently rolling it after lightly wetting it with water, gives a feeling of cleansing the face more moisturized after washing!

Thank you so much. Scent - Fresh green tea scent / Sweet like a rice cake ice cream Texture - Just like spinning rice cakes in the microwave, it's incredibly chewy Pros Personally, I really love this type of fragrance, so the aromatic scent was wonderful to me The granules mixed into the cleanser are not irritating - it has a gentle, exfoliating bead-like feel After cleansing, there's no tightness, and my skin remains moisturized, yet it thoroughly removes oil and leaves my complexion looking great It effectively removes most cosmetics It can be used morning and night
ConsThe main drawback is that since it is a compact type, you have to open and close it and dip into it every time, which is inconvenient. Waterproof cosmetics require a primary cleansing with a remover or oil before washing.
TipApply it to your body as well - the skin condition is no joke.

The application was smooth without any dragging sensation, and it remained very moisturizing even after rinsing. The scent was similar to rice cakes, and the granular texture helped effectively remove blackheads. It did not cause any skin irritation, and produced a rich, abundant lather.
ConsThe spatula was too inconvenient to clean after use. When I opened my eyes while washing my face, it was really, really irritating and made me tear up. 🥲 Honestly, my skin didn't improve significantly, and the blackheads and uneven texture only disappeared temporarily, which was a bit disappointing. Mascara didn't come off well, and trying to remove it with this product really hurt my eyes.
TipFirst, do a primary cleansing with oil or night cream, then apply this and do a secondary cleansing - it will be wonderful!!

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.ProsFirst, this Hwahae! It's a very famous product, isn't it?! Since it was released, it has been shown a lot on YouTube, Instagram, and Kakao Gift, so I've always been curious about it, and it seems like a generally decent product overall! - Texture : The texture is really like rice cake, as the name 'Hwahae' suggests! At first, when I pressed it with a spatula, it felt a bit hard, but as I rubbed it on the back of my hand or face, the texture became more and more chewy. And when I wet it and rubbed it, it gradually turned into a lather and became an incredibly soft texture. - Blackhead and Exfoliation : This product can be applied to the face like a pack, and after leaving it on for a few minutes, you can wash it off with water. During the pack-like application, it seems to absorb sebum and blackheads, because after using this product, my skin feels a bit smoother. It also seems to exfoliate quite well. - Packaging : In fact, products that change in texture when they come into contact with water need to be used very carefully to avoid water exposure, but it was nice that a spatula was included. And usually when I get a spatula, I always lose it and can't use it, but this product has a place to store the spatula inside the container, so I can use it more hygienically.
Cons- Cleansing Power: It seems I've experienced a product with such powerful cleansing power that a second cleansing was unnecessary. While it thoroughly removes makeup, it doesn't completely remove mascara or eyeliner. So if you want to cleanse with just this product and don't wear much eye makeup, this could be a good option. - Dryness: Compared to other cleansing products, my skin felt quite dry, perhaps because it's applied like a mask. As I have very dry skin, it may have caused more dryness than for others. - Inconvenience: As someone who finds removing makeup to be the most tedious task, the process of applying this product and waiting a few minutes was slightly inconvenient for me. Though it can be used without waiting, like a regular cleansing foam, in that case I don't see the point of using this over a regular cleansing foam.

I was very pleased that my makeup was completely removed without having to use a separate cleansing oil, as my skin was left feeling thoroughly cleansed. Even though I have a very dry skin type, my face was left feeling moisturized and supple after cleansing, without any tightness or dryness.
ConsHowever, eye makeup and mascara are difficult to remove, so using a lip and eye makeup remover is a must. ㅠㅠ And when I looked at the one I had bought before, I don't know if it's because it's made of natural ingredients, but there was some discoloration, and when I searched for it, they said it was okay to use it as is, but there was a slight change in the formulation, so I think those things need to be supplemented a bit. ㅠㅠ
TipI actually enjoy doing thorough cleansing, so I use the Hwahae rice soap as the final step in my skincare routine! After removing all my makeup, I apply the rice soap all over my face like a mask, gently massage it in, and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Then I add a little water and roll it all over my face. After that, I add more water to create a rich lather and roll it again, then rinse it off thoroughly. This leaves my skin feeling even cleaner and fresher!

After cleansing, it doesn't feel tight, and it seems to have good cleansing power as it doesn't cause any troubles the next day when used on the day of makeup application. The container also has a spoon(?) inside, so you don't have to worry about water getting into the container when cleansing. Typically, foam cleansing containers are tube-shaped, but this one is jar-shaped, which gives a different feel, and I liked that you can use up the product completely. Even though it looks thick, it lathers up softly when mixed with water for cleansing. I could feel small granules, but they weren't irritating.
ConsWhen I tested the cleansing power on my wrist with Romand lipstick, Peripera tint, Clio eyeliner, Etude mascara, and 4 colors of Clio eyeshadow, everything except the tint, eyeliner, and mascara was easily removed. The tint was removed with some residual staining after rubbing it several times. The eyeliner and mascara were a bit disappointing as they didn't come off easily, likely due to their strong pigmentation which required multiple applications. However, I still use the cleansing product to remove my eye makeup first before washing my face, so it works well for my post-makeup cleansing routine.

Moisturizing finish - After cleansing, there was less skin tightness compared to other cleansers. It also exfoliated well, leaving my skin feeling soft. 2. Pleasant fragrance - It had a really sweet, rice cake-like scent. The fragrance seems like it would not be too polarizing. 3. Can be used as a pack and cleanser - It was nice that I could do a mask while cleansing at the same time.
Cons1. Skin Barrier Damage - After using the product, the next day small acne appeared around my cheeks. I think the almond powder included in the product was very irritating to my sensitive skin and seemed to have damaged my skin barrier. 2. Insufficient Thorough Cleansing - I heard that base makeup can be removed in one step, so I only used that to remove my base products, but there was still residue of the cosmetics left. Cleansing oils or waters as a primary cleansing step are essential, and should be followed by a secondary cleansing step.
TipThe cleanser was too irritating for my sensitive skin. Not recommended for sensitive skin, but recommended for those with oily and resilient skin.
