Cons- The fragrance was a bit strong - Doesn't seem to remove heavy makeup like mascara very well

[Gentle Cleansing] As someone with super sensitive skin that breaks out at the slightest provocation, I'm happy to report this cleanser was fine for me. No redness, no itching, no adverse reactions whatsoever. I was initially concerned about the citric acid and fragrance, but it worked well for me! Fellow sensitive skin folks, take note. 2. [Hydrating] In addition to being sensitive, I also have dry skin. What I loved about this cleanser is that there was no tight, stretched feeling after washing! Usually, when I follow my routine of face wash -> hair wash -> body shower, I have to keep splashing water on my face during the hair wash step if I use a drying product. Dry skin sufferers, you know what I'm talking about... Well, none of that with this cleanser. 3. [Skin Softening] Right after cleansing, my skin feels incredibly smooth, which suggests it does a decent job of managing excess oil.
Cons1. [Weak Cleansing Power] It absolutely can't remove foundation, and it's a bit iffy for thoroughly cleansing sunscreen with just one wash. You'll need to use this as a second cleanser after removing makeup with cleansing water or another first-step product. It's good for morning cleansing though. 2. [Difficult to Lather] I was taken aback by how hard it was to work up a lather. The instructions say to use an appropriate amount, but I kept struggling to figure out how much that was since it wouldn't foam up. You know those foam makers they sell at Daiso? Yeah, it's much better to get one of those and use it with this cleanser.
Tip1. Get one of those foam-making pump dispensers from Daiso to use with this cleanser. 2. Use it as a second cleanser or as a morning cleanser.

Perfect for light cleansing. Refines skin texture. Provides mild exfoliation and sebum control. Feels fresh and lightweight. The moisturizing foam was easy to apply smoothly on the face. It's convenient for cleansing light base makeup like brightening moisturizer or sunscreen - the gel cleanser is sufficient for these. After cleansing, there was no tightness or significant dryness, and my skin felt comfortable with almost no irritation.
ConsIt doesn't completely remove strong color cosmetics like eyeliner, mascara, or lip tint, so it's only suitable as a first cleanse (see photo for reference). You'll need to follow up with a foam cleanser for a second cleanse to thoroughly remove everything. Recommended only for light daily use, e.g. morning cleansing.
TipRecommended if you need a gentle yet effective cleanser, or if you have sensitive skin that also requires texture management. Would consider repurchasing.

Leaves skin feeling hydrated, not dry. Has a pleasant scent. Extremely gentle on the skin. I found using 2 or more pumps produced the right amount of foam, as one pump wasn't quite enough. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous.
ConsThe cleansing effectiveness is a bit weak. You'll need to double cleanse for waterproof makeup or heavy cosmetics. If you prefer that squeaky clean feeling after washing, you might find this lacking. The price point feels a bit high for what it offers.

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.ProsRefreshing sensation: It has a cooling effect when applied, and the fragrance is pleasant - a subtle hint of green grape, not an unpleasant smell. I've used products with off-putting scents before, but this one was comfortable to use. No blemishes: I have sensitive skin that's prone to breakouts, but after using this product for a week, I didn't experience any blemishes, itching, or irritation. Not drying: Usually, my skin feels dry quickly after washing and patting it dry. However, with this product, I didn't feel any dryness even up until I applied my makeup.
ConsEye irritation: When cleansing around the eyes, there was some stinging, which made me want to rinse it off quickly. This was disappointing. Struggle with waterproof makeup: I often use waterproof eyeliner, and it was difficult to remove. The eye irritation combined with the need to rub more made the area around my eyes red and uncomfortable. On days when I wore heavy eye makeup, I avoided using this product. Lack of lather: While it does turn white when massaged, it doesn't produce much foam even when in contact with water. I wouldn't recommend this for those who prefer a rich, foamy cleanser.
TipThis might be suitable for those with sensitive skin, but I wouldn't recommend it to those concerned about eye irritation. It's a good choice for people who wear light makeup or use cleansing devices. However, if you're looking for a cleanser that effectively removes waterproof makeup, you might want to consider other options.

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.Pros1. Texture The product has a suitably thin gel consistency, making it convenient to dispense and use. 2. Deep Hydration Unlike many cleansers that leave your skin feeling tight and dry after washing, this product keeps your skin feeling moisturized and comfortable. It's great that it doesn't cause any deep dryness. 3. Exfoliation Even without exfoliating beads, it effectively removes dead skin cells. After cleansing, my skin feels smooth, and it's particularly good at clearing away flaky skin around the mouth area. I didn't experience any significant irritation. 4. Scent It has a herbal scent that feels familiar. I personally enjoyed it, but the fragrance is quite strong, so it might be polarizing for some users.
Cons1. Cleansing Effectiveness While this cleanser might be sufficient for light makeup, if you want to thoroughly remove your makeup, it's better to use this as a second-step cleanser in your routine.

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.ProsOverall impression: Insufficient as a first cleanser, but recommended as a second cleanser. The scent might be polarizing. [Texture] True to its name, it has a gel texture. It's a gel-type cleanser. Rather than rich and dense foam, it produces a lather similar to what you'd get with liquid soap. [Packaging] I appreciated the sturdy, transparent container that allows you to see how much product is left. [User experience] Generally, I find gel cleansers leave a smooth, slippery finish rather than a squeaky-clean feel. However, the Vegan Effect product seemed to provide a slightly cleaner sensation compared to others, though not as squeaky as bar soap. If you're interested in gel cleansers but have been hesitant due to their typical finish, the Vegan Effect gel cleanser might be worth trying.
Cons[Scent] The fragrance might be divisive. It reminds me of bubble solution or the liquid soap found in public restrooms. [Cleansing effectiveness] It seems adequate for removing light makeup. However, it falls short when it comes to removing mascara and eyeliner. As a result, I use it on days when I've only applied sunscreen, or as a second cleanser after using a different product for the first cleanse.

Despite being a mild cleanser, it removes everyday makeup quite well, making it perfect for a simple cleansing routine. The gel texture feels amazing, and surprisingly, it lathers up nicely for a gentle product, making the cleansing experience satisfying. Personally, I often use it for my morning cleanse, and I've noticed that my base makeup applies better after using this.
ConsWell, I wasn't too fond of the scent. It was a bit off-putting for me personally. It doesn't remove waterproof makeup very effectively, so I'd recommend using a separate remover for waterproof products.
TipIt's important to work up a good lather in your hands first before applying it to your face. Applying it directly and rubbing it on your face could potentially irritate the skin and even cause wrinkles. The key is to use it gently.

However, it felt a bit insufficient for removing heavy makeup on its own. A double cleanse was definitely necessary. - As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I was really satisfied. Oil cleansers remove makeup well, but I kept getting lots of pustular acne, so I was worried. I liked that this cleanser removed makeup while also maintaining hydration. - When I used other gel cleansers, they didn't foam up much, so I thought all gels were like that. But this one surprisingly produced a lot of foam and felt like it cleansed well. - The ingredients seem good, and even though I have super sensitive skin, I haven't experienced any major irritation so far.
Cons- The scent reminds me of a citrusy hand soap I've smelled before. Maybe because I'm sensitive to fragrances, but it felt quite strong to me. It's not exactly a drawback, but the scent might be hit or miss for some people. - Not recommended for those wanting intense cleansing power. Unless you're wearing very light makeup, a double cleanse is a must. This is more suitable for gentle cleansing!
TipIt seems good for use as a second cleanser or for removing sunscreen!

First off, the scent is like a fresh forest that made me keep sniffing. The texture feels like the perfect example of a cleansing gel. At first, I didn't notice, but I could visibly see my skin's texture improving, with little bumps and unevenness becoming smoother. That's probably why my skin texture got better! And I absolutely adore the finishing feel of cleansing gels, that hydrated sensation, and this one leaves my skin feeling super moisturized. Even though I have super sensitive skin, it works great for me, which is fantastic!
ConsWhile it has high cleansing effectiveness among cleansing gels, for waterproof or heavy makeup, I recommend using this cleanser as a second step after an initial cleanse.
TipI dispense it twice on the back of my hand, gently roll it, then apply it to my skin! I focus on rolling more around areas with excess oil like the nose and T-zone, then slowly rinse with water for smooth, hydrated skin - perfection!
