The cleansing effectiveness is great and it emulsifies well! I have sensitive skin, but I didn't experience any blemishes. It comes in several small containers, which is convenient for travel as you don't need to decant it like other products! After using it, I found that if you use it sparingly, you can get about 5-6 uses, or about 4 uses if you're more generous. It would be great for travel or as a gift!!!
ConsThere's no spatula, so I had to use the back of my nail to scoop it out, haha! Also, I had to store it upside down. That's a bit disappointing. The scent is an artificial grape fragrance, which wasn't to my personal taste.

So, I was a bit nervous trying this product. First off, the cleansing effectiveness was pretty good! I don't wear heavy makeup, so I can't make a big comparison, but it removed everything well. 📌 Gentle on skin: Even after rubbing during cleansing, my skin didn't turn red or develop any blemishes! It doesn't seem to cause much irritation if you don't rub too hard. 📌 Non-greasy balm: For acne-prone skin, using the wrong oils can immediately cause breakouts, but this product didn't, which was great! 📌 Convenient storage: Being in capsule form makes it seem like it would be easy to carry when traveling!
Cons✔️ Quantity: There's a lot in each capsule, so you need to divide it up. This can be a bit of a hassle, and you have to be careful about storage. I think it would be better to reduce the amount per capsule and increase the number of capsules! ✔️ Scent: The fragrance might be polarizing. I didn't mind it, but if you dislike artificial or rubbery scents, it might bother you. ✔️ Exfoliating particles: The exfoliating particles made me hesitant to use it around my eyes. Also, I'm a bit wary of rubbing too much to remove sebum, so I probably won't reach for it often.
Tip1) For skin like mine, it's probably best not to use any other exfoliating treatments on the same day you use this product! 2) I recommend dividing up the product as it's too much to use all at once (store in something like a ziplock bag).

Sometimes when I do a thorough double cleanse or use products that don't suit me, I feel a stinging and burning sensation around my eyes. However, with this product, I didn't experience any of those sensations. I loved that it didn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry after use! ★The scent is a subtle grape fragrance. While I know artificial fragrances aren't ideal, I found it refreshing and enjoyable. ★When first opened, it has a slightly waxy, balm-like texture that melts quickly with the warmth of your hands. I applied it all over my face and emulsified it while massaging, which effectively removed makeup residue. There was a slight residue left, so I followed up with a gentle cleansing foam for a final touch. ★The individual packaging and generous amount make it perfect for travel! Each pack contains a bit more than needed for one use, so you might need to divide it into two or three applications. Still, packing just a couple of these is plenty for a trip, making it incredibly convenient for travel.
ConsI wish the product came in smaller, multiple containers for easier use. Also, the fragrance might be a bit artificial for some, potentially dividing opinions.

Thanks to its small size, it's easy to slip into your bag, and each pod can be used 2-3 times, helping to reduce luggage. [Hygiene] The individual packaging means no sharing with others, and you can use it 2-3 times without needing a spatula, making it clean and hygienic! [Texture] It melts smoothly with your hand's body heat, adhering perfectly to the skin and applying smoothly. [Gentle on skin] Despite being called a 'Tok Tok Shot', I used it without any skin irritation. [Cleansing power] It removes everything from color makeup to mascara as gently as a cleansing oil! The balm transforms into an oil, penetrating the skin well and emulsifying easily, allowing for a thorough cleanse without excessive rubbing. [Hydration] After use, there's no skin tightness! No dryness! Just a moisturized, soft, and smooth finish!
Cons[Scent] I'm not a fan of artificial scents, and this has a grape fragrance that's too sweet, like gum. The scent might be polarizing! [Storage] The individual packaging can be cumbersome for daily use at home, and the small quantity makes it inconvenient to store in the bathroom. Also, the continuous plastic waste is a bit disappointing from an environmental perspective. [Quantity] The amount in each pod is quite generous, which can be too much for a single use, leaving leftovers! This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. It's great for a 2-day trip, but there's no way to store it once opened.

At first glance, the case seemed a bit small, but when I started cleansing, I realized there was so much product that I felt it would be a waste to use it all at once! Before taking it out of the container, I worried I might have to scrape it out, but to my delight, just a gentle press on one corner of the purple balm makes it pop out even more easily than jelly. It's so satisfying! When you place the round part in your hand and start massaging the flat side against your face, it melts quickly. Unlike cleansing oils, it doesn't drip down but melts into a very soft cream-like texture that's perfect for rolling. I was skeptical about its ability to remove makeup without foam cleansing, but surprisingly, it removed mascara and lipstick. I got excited and cleansed enthusiastically! (I don't wear eyeliner, so I can't speak to that.) After finishing, there's no stickiness or dampness even without using a foam cleanser. I was amazed that nothing came off when I wiped with toner. Post-cleanse, my skin felt non-drying, non-irritating, soft, and hydrated - which I loved.
ConsIt smells like bubblegum. I found the bubblegum scent cute, but those sensitive to fragrances should take note.
TipConcerned about potential irritation from the 'Tok Tok Shot', I used it every other day. As someone with dry skin, I found it suitable for regular use.

I was thrilled to be selected by The Hwahae Testers to try out this cleansing balm! True to its nature, the balm melts easily with body heat, effectively dissolving makeup. It has an incredibly smooth and silky texture that glides on the skin. After emulsifying with water and massaging thoroughly, followed by a foamy lather, it removed my makeup completely. I can't speak to its effectiveness on mascara as I always use a separate eye makeup remover, but it did an excellent job removing all other face makeup. Each capsule seems perfectly portioned at first glance, but I found it contains enough product for about three uses. It's great for sharing with friends or storing in a small ziplock bag for convenience. On my first use, I actually split the capsule with my mom as it was more than enough for one application. This product is ideal for travel. In fact, I'm currently using it on a business trip and finding it incredibly handy!
ConsI really enjoyed using this product, but there's one small caveat. The scent strongly reminds me of old-fashioned bubblegum, which might not appeal to those who dislike artificial fragrances. Personally, I found the sweet scent quite pleasant and appetizing! One minor gripe - I wish products like these were a bit more affordable. It would be great to see more frequent sales or discounts!

It deep cleanses, removing makeup and impurities from pores. Incredibly convenient for travel! Each packet has enough for 2-3 uses, perfect for short trips. The texture starts firm but melts smoothly when massaged on the face. Clinically tested for 72-hour hydration, temporary relief of dryness-induced itching, improved moisture barrier, and safe for sensitive skin. My skin feels soft with no dryness at all after use. The scent is a subtle, pleasant blueberry bubblegum aroma. Cleansing power is great - it even removes waterproof eyeliner with gentle rubbing.
ConsThe artificial blueberry scent might not appeal to those sensitive to fragrances. The price is a bit high due to the convenient individual packaging. However, it's worth stocking up for travel. I'd deduct one star for the price...

User experience When I first opened it, it looked quite solid, and I wondered how to melt it. But as soon as it touches your body temperature, it melts easily, making it simple to use. Just scoop it with the spatula, apply it to your face, and gently roll it - it melts like oil. Massage well, then emulsify and rinse off. It contains spicules, which can cause a slight tingling sensation. I'm used to it from previous dermatologist treatments, but if you've never tried spicules or microneedling before, you might need an adjustment period! 2. Cleansing effectiveness It removes foundation effortlessly and even takes off eyeliner and mascara - that's how effective it is! However, due to the spicules, I wondered if it was safe to use directly on the eyes. After testing its cleansing power on the first day, I avoided using it around my eyes and mouth. 3. Portability Each balm is individually wrapped, making it perfect for travel. As someone who travels frequently, I used to worry about my cleansing oil leaking in my suitcase and would over-package it. With this product, there's no such concern, and it takes up less space!
ConsFirst, the scent is a bit artificial, like grape flavor. I don't think a cleansing product really needs this kind of fragrance. Also, since it contains spicules, I felt uneasy using it around my eyes and mouth as a cleansing balm. I was also concerned about using it daily, worried it might cause irritation. Moreover, the amount in each individual package is too much! It seems like you could get 2 or even 3 uses out of one pack, but once you've opened it, it's difficult to store hygienically. If they reduced the amount per pack and increased the number of packs, it would be more efficient to use.
TipThis would be great for travel or as a weekly deep cleansing treatment.

While it effectively removes other makeup too, since it's a slightly oily first-step cleanser, following up with a cleansing foam as a second step would be ideal for eliminating any remaining impurities. 2) 6ml per unit: Personally, I don't use a lot of cleansing balm when cleansing. Why? Because even a small amount cleanses very effectively! The round package contains 6ml, which is quite a decent amount. One is enough for a 2-night, 3-day trip. No need to bother with decanting. 3) Absorbs well: Despite its name 'Collagen Pop Shot' and being a needle-shot cleanser, I was worried it might cause a tingling sensation, especially with my sensitive skin. But I didn't feel any irritation! The balm melts smoothly with body heat, allowing for gentle rolling. You can even feel the texture improvements just by lightly touching your skin.
Cons1) The scent is divisive: It smells like the old-fashioned blueberry Winnie Beanie jelly. The thing is, this scent doesn't just linger during cleansing, but stays on your face even after rinsing, until you apply your emulsion. It's a sweet scent that might be hit or miss. I personally don't love or hate it, but for those who dislike such fragrances, it might be too strong to use comfortably. 2) On the pricier side: It's somewhat expensive for its volume. Also, it's only available on Hwahae, which makes it less accessible for purchase.

I'm so pleased with how it feels and its cleansing effectiveness that I'm already thinking about repurchasing! I usually prefer cleansing waters or milks because cleansing oils often give me blemishes, but this cleansing balm's performance made me wonder why I hadn't tried it sooner. It has just the right amount of richness, gliding on smoothly without any irritation - it feels great during cleansing. Its cleansing power is excellent too, effortlessly removing daily makeup, which makes me reach for it even more. Additionally, the packaging is sleek, and the capsule format adds a fun element. The design makes a good impression and would make a nice gift. I'd also recommend it for travel as it's easy to pack.
ConsThe scent might be hit or miss for some. The grape fragrance isn't particularly luxurious - it's a bit reminiscent of fruit chews, which is slightly disappointing. While it comes in capsule form without a resealable lid, the amount in each capsule is too much for a single use. I'd say one capsule is enough for 3-4 uses. At home, I scoop out small amounts to use and store the remaining balm in the capsule inside a small ziplock bag, which can be a bit inconvenient.
