ConsThe fact that it has strong cleansing power means that it is that much harsher...! Personally, as someone with sensitive skin, I found it to be a bit irritating. It seems that the inclusion of fragrance or artificial scent among the ingredients irritated my skin! I would recommend it to those with robust skin, but there are many alternative products available.

The cleansing power was good during the second cleansing, and it lathered well. However, it seems difficult for those with sensitive skin to use it frequently. After the first use, there was a slight tingling or stinging sensation on my cheeks, but I didn't mind it. After using it for two consecutive days, my skin became more sensitive and flushed. So I took a day off and used it every other day. It seems suitable for oily skin types! I didn't experience any breakouts!
ConsThe scent is too strong!!! It's so potent that people sensitive to fragrances might find it overpowering. I can't say the scent is good. Even after cleansing, there's a lingering sensation on the skin... I was expecting the rich, nutty aroma of black rice, but that's not what I experienced. I'm quite disappointed.
TipIn the hot summer when a lot of oil rises, it seems like it would be good to use.

The black color of the container matches well with the formula, and the container design is clean and sophisticated. The product also came out clean and smooth, which I liked. The formula has a somewhat thick texture, but as mentioned earlier, it comes out smoothly from the container. When rubbing it with your hands, you can feel some granules, but you can't feel them when applied to the face, so it's not irritating. The foam is more dense than abundant, so you need to add water while rolling it to cleanse more deeply, which I personally liked. Despite the black exterior, the fragrance is quite strong, with a strong freesia floral scent, so there may be mixed opinions about it. After using a cleansing oil, this product effectively removed sebum and impurities. The skin felt moisturized after cleansing. Overall, the cleansing power and moisturizing effect were satisfactory. The pack was a bit thick and difficult to spread. However, after using the pack, the skin felt moisturized (albeit temporarily) and clear, but the strong fragrance made me not want to use it as a pack. If the fragrance was less strong, I would consider sticking with this product. I liked the cleansing power and moisturizing effect, and even if the fragrance remains the same, I would consider purchasing it if the price becomes more affordable.
ConsWhile individual preferences may vary, the fragrance is too strong. :( Even though I love the scent of fresh flowers, the fragrance lingers on my face throughout the Hwahae Trial and causes headaches.
TipIf you want abundant foam, use a foam net!

As someone with combination skin and concerns about large pores and oily skin, I don't tend to use products well. 1. Texture: It's a very soft cream type that spreads very smoothly on the face. The lather is also very soft, and there was no sense of irritation at all. After rinsing off the lather, there was more of a silky, smooth feeling rather than a squeaky clean one. 2. Efficacy: I used the product for 2 weeks after receiving it, only using it during cleansing and not as a mask. It was described as being specialized for blemishes and whiteheads, but I didn't notice any visible improvements. Of course, my skin felt clean and refined after using it. The cleansing power also seemed decent. For those who like the scent and price range, this could be a good everyday product to try.
ConsThe fragrance was a bit overpowering for me. I'm not sure what it was, but it might have been a musky scent. It had a spicy, pungent quality that I personally didn't care for.

Review💌 Skin type: Acne-prone with lots of sebum and dead skin, severe acne that often turns into inflammatory acne, large pores, and many whiteheads. With this acne-prone skin, even a slightly unsuitable cleansing foam or one that doesn't properly exfoliate can immediately cause breakouts. These days, it seems like cleansing foams made by kneading the dough multiple times are trending, like the Tteoksop. The good thing about this product is that unlike the single-use Tteoksop, this one is in a tube, so it's more convenient and hygienic. I'll go over the functions this product claims to have one by one. 1️⃣ Exfoliation I usually have a lot of dead skin, so I always use an enzyme powder to exfoliate. This product contains AHA and BHA ingredients, so I didn't need to exfoliate separately. I didn't feel like my skin texture improved, but I did feel like it gently removed the dead skin. To add, BHA is gentler at exfoliating than AHA. I really liked this aspect. Also, when I used this product and didn't apply anything else, my acne-prone skin cleared up really well. I think it's because the exfoliation helped remove the acne easily. 2️⃣ Hydration Despite its appearance, this is a gentle product. What made me feel that way is that usually deep cleansing products leave your face feeling very tight after washing, but this one left my face feeling hydrated! Oh, and even though this is a deep cleansing foam, you should still use an oil to remove makeup and sunscreen first, then use this as a second cleanse. The product page doesn't claim it can remove base makeup. 3️⃣ Whiteheads I didn't feel like it dramatically removed whiteheads. I think you'd still need to manually wipe or extract them to see results. In conclusion, I'd recommend this to someone with acne-prone skin like mine. But since it's a deep cleansing product, using it daily might be too much, so 3 times a week would be good for exfoliation.
ConsThis product has a very peculiar scent, and I initially thought it was charcoal, not black rice. The fragrance is quite unpleasant, reminiscent of cheap hand wash at a highway rest stop. Since this is a Hwahae product, I'll have to pass on it. It would have been better if they had gone with an unscented version, as that would have conveyed a gentler image for the skin. Based on the ingredient list, I see they used fragrance, but in my opinion, adding anything extra is not ideal for a skin care product.
TipThe wash-off pack can be used as a wash-off pack. It says you can just put it on slightly while showering and rinse it off within 1-2 minutes. Seeing that it says you can even use the wash-off pack, it seems they are confident in the ingredients.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe best thing about using this foam cleanser was that it seemed very powerful and it felt like it washed away all the sebum, but it was surprisingly gentle. My skin type is combination, but I don't really like the feeling of my skin becoming too dry from a cleanser that is too strong. However, despite its strong-looking appearance, it wasn't excessively drying. 'Hwahae' didn't cause any breakouts either. The scent is also on the cool side, so if you have a teenage male sibling at home with acne, this could be a good shared product. It can help with blemishes, and the scented product can also help mask sebum odor. Personally, I also liked that the opening is narrow. Foam cleansers only require a small amount to effectively cleanse, but sometimes products with overly wide openings can suddenly dispense too much, leading to waste. With this narrow opening, I was able to squeeze out just the right amount.
ConsThe fragrance is too strong, too strong... If I were to put it positively, it's a refreshing scent, but when you smell it, it's like a men's cosmetic scent or an old-fashioned cosmetic scent? The artificial fragrance is too strong, so even after washing, the foam cleansing fragrance remains on your hands. Those who are sensitive to fragrances would likely be very reluctant to use it. It's a fragrance that will polarize people, so they'll need to change or reduce the fragrance ingredients. And it doesn't produce a lot of lather, but since it's a trouble-line product, I didn't expect a rich lather, so it was fine. But those who like super bubbly lather will likely be disappointed.
TipFoam cleansing seems to be effective not only for cleansing but also for dealing with acne and other skin troubles. I've even used this product for my body, and it was effective as expected. I don't really need to buy separate body trouble care products, as I can occasionally use this one as well.

It effectively removed light makeup (eyeshadow, blush) from my face. After using a cleansing oil, the residual oil was completely gone, which I liked. The dense and creamy lather thoroughly cleansed my pores. While I didn't see a significant effect on my nose, the whiteheads on my chin were noticeably reduced. The skin on my chin also became much smoother. The makeup applied well on top of it. As it has a slightly alkaline pH, it only removes unnecessary oil, so it should work well for dry skin too. I think it will be great to use in the summer.
ConsThe cleansing power is satisfactory, but the fragrance is too strong. It even gives me a headache. There are times when I hesitate to use it due to the fragrance, which is a combination of men's skin scent and floral notes.

A small amount produces abundant lather. It rinses off cleanly and refreshingly without leaving the skin overly dry or causing blemishes. The attached photos show the results, with the third photo depicting the product before use, the amount used, and the results after cleansing. As you can see, it effectively removes dead skin cells.
ConsThe fragrance has a floral and masculine cosmetic scent. While it has a refreshing feel, the fragrance is stronger than expected, and I was disappointed by the masculine skin scent that I dislike. Separately, even when using it after the first cleansing oil wash and with only a little water left on my hands, the product still leaves a thin residue around the opening every time I use it.

ConsThe product box has instructions, but it would be great if there were also explanations on the product itself. I'm unfamiliar with the product usage and am not sure about it. When doing a facial pack, I'm unsure if I should cleanse first or if the pack can serve as cleansing as well. Cleansing beforehand feels like over-washing, so I end up not doing it. But applying the pack with makeup on also feels unpleasant, so I don't do that either. The scent is a bit strong.
TipBaby's glittering point makeup and the like must be removed separately with a remover!

I tend to get very stressed by the waste generated when unpacking deliveries, so this package without any tape, wrapped in an environmentally-friendly way, is a 5-star experience for me. 🤩 And personally, I also really liked the simple and beautiful container packaging. The formula is one that feels like it's been kneaded 10,000 times. The creaminess isn't visible in the photo, but when you touch it with damp hands, you can really feel the rich, creamy texture. And without using a separate bubble maker, just mixing it with water and the cleansing foam using your hands, it produces a thick, dense lather. I took the photo a little while after mixing, so the bubbles had built up, but right after mixing, the foam has a very fine, micro-bubble texture. The wash-off pack doesn't dry out too quickly when removing it. I've used similar cleansing foams as wash-off packs before, and they would dry out and feel quite tight on the skin, but this one is just the right level of dryness after about a minute of leaving it on. My skin is prone to frequent breakouts, so I need regular care. This cleansing foam is really effective at absorbing excess sebum. I've noticed it works well on those big, hard blemishes and cystic acne. I've been using the same other basic skincare products during this time.
Cons1. Fragrance It would not be an exaggeration to say that this product lost me two stars due to the fragrance being too strong. The fragrance is so strong that it lingers on my hands even after washing. I am sensitive to fragrances, and since this is a facial product, the strong fragrance makes me unwilling to repurchase it. 2. Dryness This product is a bit drying for the current season. Although it is a combination skin type, it becomes dry in the winter. I noticed that if I don't immediately apply a mist or base product after using it, my skin becomes very dry. However, I think it would be great to use in the summer!
TipA small amount of this product produces an excellent lather. It would be great for those who use cleansing foam sparingly!
