It says it removes uneven skin, but I think it's causing breakouts.
ConsInstead, it causes trouble and the fragrance is artificial. I thought about using it consistently, but my hand doesn't go to it.

The formulation was in a gel form, and it was soft and nice.
ConsAdvertisements claim that it helps remove millet acne... but it has no effect whatsoever. And the smell is way too strong... The strange odor was really difficult to bear. It's not a mild product, but rather a strong one, which causes a lot of trouble for sensitive skin..

Even though it is an acidic cleanser, it produces a very rich lather and has good cleansing power. In the first cleansing, all my makeup except mascara was thoroughly removed. It doesn't completely remove everything, so I recommend using a cleansing oil or water for the first cleanse, followed by this product for the second cleanse. I have combination skin, and I didn't feel any tightness or slipperiness after cleansing. The usage experience was very pleasant and clean. After using it, my skin felt like the texture was refined, and it was smoother and softer compared to other foam cleansers. As it's not irritating, it seems suitable for daily exfoliation for those with sensitive skin who are concerned about oiliness and dead skin. I also liked that it's a vegan brand.
ConsThe price is quite expensive, which is a downside. If the price was just a little more affordable, I think I would have repurchased it. Also, the fragrance wasn't great for me - it had a similar smell to regular shampoo, which I didn't like. And it didn't seem to be very effective for my blemishes, so I wouldn't really recommend it to those who are concerned about breakouts.
TipUsing a cleansing device was more effective for me in removing dead skin and sebum.

After using it for a week, the most satisfying aspect was that despite being a mild, low-pH cleansing gel, it has a peeling effect thanks to the inclusion of LHA. People with sensitive skin often find that methods of direct exfoliation like cleansing oils, cleansing balms, pads, and peeling gels all irritate their skin, making exfoliation impossible. I had been using toners containing AHA, BHA, and PHA, but my face would get so inflamed that I couldn't even use watery formulas. The buildup of dead skin was a constant problem with no good solution. But when I tried this gel cleanser just in the mornings, I could feel my skin becoming smoother and more refined day by day, which was very satisfying. The lather also forms very well, so I only needed 0.5 pumps, not a full pump, and I could cleanse effectively without a cleansing brush. After cleansing, I didn't feel a strong tightness that required immediately applying my basic skincare products.
ConsI'm not sure what the scent of green barley is like, but it had a slight detergent-like fragrance, which I didn't quite like.
TipWe highly recommend this mild, acidic cleanser as a morning facial wash for those with sensitive skin who need gentle exfoliation.

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 product has less foam compared to other cleansers, but by pumping it generously and lathering it with water, it produces sufficient foam for use. There is a slight cooling sensation, and as it is mildly acidic, it leaves a moisturized feeling rather than a squeaky-clean one, so my skin is not dry even in the middle of winter. I was surprised by how effective it is in improving skin texture. About 5 days after using it, someone at work commented that my skin looked brighter, so while I'm not sure if it's solely the effect of this product, the LHA peeling ingredient likely helps with exfoliating and brightening my complexion.
ConsThe app's ingredient list also shows that there are fragrances, which makes me a little concerned. The actual scent of the product does have a grassy smell, but the artificial grassy scent is quite strong, which is a bit disappointing.
TipThe product seems suitable for dry and sensitive skin. I always do a two-step cleansing routine with a cleansing oil and a cleansing foam. The combination of a cleansing oil and a cleansing gel also seems good, as it doesn't overly strip moisture and leaves the skin feeling nicely hydrated, which is quite nice for the winter.

The packaging is easy to pump and the lid is sturdy, making it convenient to bring the full-size product when traveling. As a gel-type, it quickly creates a rich lather. This product alone effectively removes base makeup. The refreshing finish after cleansing is what I like the most. With the inclusion of LHA, long-term use may help manage T-zone oiliness and blackheads. I'm also pleased that it's a vegan product.
ConsThe fragrance seems to be divisive. Personally, I find the fragrance too strong and pungent. I wish the fragrance ingredients could be improved. The price is a bit on the higher side.

Fragrance - The scent is mild and not overpowering! However, those sensitive to fragrances may find it irritating. 2. After Use - It does not leave a sticky feeling, and the finish is moisturizing without feeling irritating. - It would be best to use it in the evening when impurities have built up, rather than in the morning. 3. Recommended Skin Type - I have combination skin (oily T-zone, dry U-zone), seborrheic, rosacea, and sensitive skin. - After one use, my skin reacts to whether the product suits me or not, but the lactic acid ingredients were not as irritating as expected. - I recommend it for combination and oily skin types, and for dry skin, it's better to use it briefly only when experiencing peeling.
ConsThe lingering fragrance is a bit artificial and irritating, as it lingers around the nose. There don't seem to be any major drawbacks.

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.ProsThis is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review. I used this product instead of a mild acidic cleansing foam for about 4 days. First of all, I liked that this cleanser did not leave the typical residual feeling of mild acidic cleansing products. However, it was not as cleansing as alkaline products, where the skin feels squeaky clean or tight. The product page stated that it has excellent cleansing power for sunscreen, but I did not experience any additional breakouts or clogged pores without using a primary cleansing step. After cleansing, I felt refreshed and thoroughly cleansed.
ConsPersonally, I prefer unscented products, but the fragrance was too strong. The herbal-like Hwahae scent was so overpowering that it was difficult to use. Fortunately, the fragrance disappeared completely after cleansing, but it was still a bit bothersome. Also, it is not a foaming cleanser, so you need to pump it several times to use it.
TipIt seems difficult to replace the daily mild cleansing foam with this, but it would be good to use it for deep cleansing once every 2-3 days.

After actually using it, I felt that the roughness had improved. Being a gel type, I was able to cleanse gently. I also noticed that the lather was dense and long-lasting.
ConsI felt that since it is a gel-type, the foam is not as voluminous as a bubble product. However, there was no inconvenience when cleansing. I'm a bit disappointed with the scent. I expected a fresh and natural scent since it's a barley product, but there's an artificial 'pong pong' or similar scent... It's not my preference, so I'm disappointed.
TipAfter generating sufficient lather, the product seems to maintain the lather for a long time. Using that lather, gently roll over the uneven areas, then rinse it off to feel a sense of thorough cleansing, and the skin also appears much softer, providing good moisturization.

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.ProsThis product was applied for the reason... I was captivated by the phrase "rough and uneven skin smoothing" and applied for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer event. Fortunately, I was selected and got to use the product. The skin type is... The T-zone has a lot of sebum, and the U-zone is a little dry. My pores are wide, and if I don't manage them even a little, my skin immediately becomes rough and uneven. Furthermore, during the test period, I had a severe cold and had to wear a mask for a long time, so the condition is not very good. ㅜㅜ The product packaging and contents are... It is a pump-type product with a light green case and a turquoise gel cleanser in a transparent container. The contents are a gel-type cleanser that reminds one of fresh barley, as the name suggests. The scent is a faint grassy note. Personally, I didn't dislike it, but the scent may be liked or disliked by users. The pump-type design makes it easy to control the amount of use. The usage experience is... One full pump dispenses a sufficient amount. When I first used it, I pumped it twice and lathered it for a while. It seems that 1-2 light pumps would be enough. Lathering with wet hands makes the foam easily, but without it, the foam doesn't form as well. Rinsing the face with water once or lathering with wet hands makes the cleansing gentler and less irritating. The impression is... It provides a squeaky-clean feeling. There is no dryness or tightness, but the moisture level is not significantly noticeable either. After cleansing, the skin felt smooth, which was nice. Sunscreen is cleansed thoroughly, but if it's a bit heavy, I recommend using it as a second cleanse. - Please refer to the photo below for this part. From the wrist, eyeshadow > concealer > powder > lip > sunscreen This is a state where more product is applied thickly than when actually applying makeup. Please take this into account. I accidentally omitted the first cleanse photo, but I tried wiping it off in the gel state with a deep first pump. The actual usage method is to use it in a foamed state, but I tried using it in the gel state as an experiment. You can see that the powder is not fully removed.After using it with an additional deep pump, it was cleaned a bit more thoroughly. The result was not as clean as the second cleanse photo, as I had to spend time rolling the skin to remove it. Compared to removing it on its own, I think using a dedicated cleanser or oil cleanser for the first cleanse would be less irritating to the skin. For reference, it was easier to remove when used in a foamed state. Overall evaluation... As someone who has been struggling to find a satisfactory cleanser, this was the most average and unremarkable cleanser among the recent ones I've tried. But the fact that I didn't experience any trouble, even though I usually have some breakouts for the first 1-2 days when trying new products, earned it a high rating from me. While it was reliable as a basic cleanser, it also didn't perform poorly in terms of preventing the rough and uneven skin from appearing. In the situation where I had to wear a mask for a long time due to a cold, I usually get breakouts on the nose bridge and chin area, but the condition was noticeably better than before.
ConsEven though it's winter, as an intellectual, I have a slight tightening sensation. Those with dry skin may also experience some tightening. I accidentally got a bit in my eyes while washing, and the pain was stronger than expected. I understand why the disappointing aspects were mentioned. The fragrance feels a bit more artificial than a natural one, which is a bit disappointing. I deducted one star for the disappointing aspects mentioned above. I was hoping the sunscreen and the compact would be thoroughly cleansed off with just one wash, but the slight insufficiency was a bit disappointing. - The disappointment of having to do a second cleansing is just a personal preference of the user. ^^;;;
TipIn the morning, I cleanse my face lightly with 1 pump, and in the evening, I use it around 2 times, so I can really feel my face becoming smoother. When removing makeup, it's better to use the product in a foamy state rather than just as a gel, as using wet hands to work up a good lather makes the cleansing process feel less irritating and more gentle. This is also the usage method recommended in the actual product description.
