I bought it after seeing an Instagram ad, initially skeptical about its claims to reduce skin texture. But surprisingly, it does seem to smooth out some of the unevenness! (Though not dramatically.) It's a hydrating cleansing gel that's perfect for beginners. This gel cleanser is ideal as a second step in your cleansing routine! (However, those with slightly dry skin might experience some deep dryness.)
ConsUnfortunately, while the official website claimed it would eliminate blackheads, I didn't see any effect on those... And if it gets in your eyes, it's absolute hell (the tingling is intense). Also, many people mention a strong artificial scent - it kind of smells like a public bathhouse. If it weren't for these issues, it would make a great daily cleanser.

Leaves skin feeling refreshed. Not bad at all. Worth buying and trying at least once.
ConsThere's a bit of an artificial fragrance lingering. However, you get used to it after a while, or it improves when used with a foam cleanser.

First off, I thought it wouldn't lather much being a gel type, but wow! Even with just a bit of water on my palms, it foamed up nicely. That was a pleasant surprise! Being slightly acidic with great ingredients, it seems to cause less tightness after washing compared to other cleansers. As someone with dry skin, I really noticed the reduced feeling of tightness! When I received the cleanser, I happened to have a large blemish on my chin - you know, the kind that feels hard inside. Surprisingly, by the third day of using this cleanser, it had significantly subsided! And that was just from changing to this gel cleanser, without applying any acne treatments. While it might be typical for gel formulas, I appreciated that it comes in a pump bottle rather than a tube, making it convenient to use. There's even an insert for the pump, so you can prevent leaks when not in use without having to discard anything. Usually, I use an enzyme cleanser for exfoliation, but since the Vegan Effect cleanser contains exfoliating ingredients, I've been able to extend the time between enzyme cleanser uses.
ConsAfter reading other reviews mentioning the scent was divisive, I was curious. To describe it, it's similar to dishwashing liquid? At first, it was a bit noticeable, but as I continued using it, I hardly thought about it. There are no other downsides I can think of!
TipI found it works best to start with just slightly damp hands, rather than too much water. Begin lathering on your cheeks, then give extra attention to areas that need it like your nose, forehead, and chin by massaging a bit more there.

The combination of laha and green barley seems to make a noticeable difference compared to other cleansers. Despite daily use, I don't experience any irritation. It's an excellent product for daily dead skin cell management.
ConsThe downside is the scent. I prefer fragrance-free products, but this has a distinct soapy smell, possibly due to the essential oils or ingredient combination. While it could be considered refreshing, it's a bit strong for my liking. If I had to nitpick, it would be about the fragrance.

(Skin Type) - Extremely sensitive skin, reactive to fine dust, yellow dust, and temperature changes - Prone to unexplained folliculitis due to poor health or hormonal issues - Multiple food allergies, with skin rashes from MSG-heavy foods (Product Review) - On the first day, I tested it on my back to check for allergies. My back felt smooth with balanced oil, so I started using it on my face the next day. 1. Texture Improvement This was the most noticeable effect. I had persistent tiny bumps in the area between my chin and neck that wouldn't go away with exfoliation or toners. This product significantly reduced them, leaving my skin smooth. 2. Blackheads My family members also used it, and it effectively cleared blackheads from their noses. It might be good to use alongside a pore-minimizing product. 3. Skin Texture and Dryness Improvement Although it's best for sensitive skin to use it every other day or every 2-3 days, I used it daily for this review. Without changing anything else, my makeup applied better and my complexion brightened. I have extremely dry skin, and usually, cold wind makes my makeup flake around my mouth and nose. But after cleansing with this product, that rarely happens. It's the first time in over 10 years that my makeup doesn't flake (except in summer). I'll likely repurchase this product. It exfoliates and is pH-balanced for daily use. Those with oily skin might find the cleansing power insufficient (as a dry skin user, I didn't feel any dryness). Especially in spring, when yellow dust and fine dust trigger my skin even with medication, this product's ability to remove fine particles should help reduce skin troubles.
ConsThe only downside is... the scent...? Haha! It smells like the green dishwashing liquid my mom used when I was young... hahaha!
TipIt's great to pump twice, work up a good lather in your hands, then massage it on your face, neck, shoulders, and even chest while cleansing...!!

Despite being a low pH product, it has great cleansing effectiveness. I also appreciated how it lathers up well even with a small amount!
ConsLike other reviews mentioned, the scent is a bit like dish soap. Those who dislike artificial fragrances might find this disappointing!

My pores clog easily, leading to blemishes, so I usually avoid low pH cleansers (especially those with a moisturizing, slightly slippery finish). However, using alkaline foam cleansers with strong cleansing power irritates my skin... it's complicated! I applied to be a Hwahae Tester for this product because it's said to have excellent cleansing power and dead skin cell removal effects. First off, my review: both the cleansing effectiveness and feel were great. I especially loved the after-feel! True to its gel cleanser nature, it leaves a slightly moisturized finish without any slipperiness. It's like a middle ground between alkaline foam cleansers and low pH cleansers. Not too squeaky clean, not too moisturizing - just a perfectly clean, pleasant finish that I was thrilled with from the first use. There was absolutely no tightness after cleansing! The cleansing power is also excellent. I tried it when my skin was oily and after applying sunscreen, and it removed everything well. It was particularly effective at cleansing sebum from the butterfly zone around my nose. I haven't worn much makeup lately, so I couldn't try it as a second cleanser, but I think it would be perfect for that purpose based on how it feels.
ConsThe scent is quite strong and might be polarizing. To me, it smelled like a mix of cucumber and dish soap! I think a natural ingredient scent or no fragrance at all would have been better...

ConsThe scent is slightly reminiscent of dish soap Other than that, there's nothing to complain about
TipI'm sure almost everyone does a double cleanse these days, right? If you need a thorough cleansing, make sure to follow up with a second cleanser after using this one for a complete cleansing routine!
