What I loved about this product: 1. The Hiicle Gel Cleanser contains BHA (a high concentration of 5000PPM) which helps remove sebum, dead skin cells, and impurities from pores. It lived up to my expectations, providing an easy and thorough cleansing experience that felt truly special. 2. I had a few blemishes from cosmetic reactions, but thanks to the soothing effects of tea tree oil and its 4-terpineol component, my skin felt refreshed and smooth. 3. Although I don't have acne-prone skin, the gentle yet effective cleansing action made testing this product a pleasant and worry-free experience. I even felt grateful for it! 4. As a dermatologically tested product, it's reassuring that even those with sensitive skin can use it without concern. 5. I was initially worried that an acne-focused product might dry out my skin, but the moisturizing finish allowed me to use it daily with enjoyment. 6. From its thorough sebum cleansing and enzyme exfoliation to its gentle feel and hydrating finish, using this product always left me feeling refreshed and in a good mood. 7. I tested this with family members who have different skin types. Even my family member with large pores and whiteheads (oily skin) felt it cleansed thoroughly and actually took it for themselves! 8. The hydration comes from the hydrophilic moisturizing ingredient glycerin, utilizing an oil-targeting system that provides deep hydration. This allows for sebum-targeted cleansing without any feeling of tightness, which left a strong impression on me. My initial concerns about it being an acne product quickly turned into satisfaction, making it great for the whole family. 9. Even an extremely dry-skinned family member tested it and was amazed, asking if it was a product for dry skin. When I explained it wasn't, they were shocked such a product existed. It's a remarkable product that I'd love to gift to those with acne-prone and sensitive skin. 10. The texture is full of moisture! It creates rich, fine bubbles like an enzyme cleanser, making it comfortable to use without irritation. Despite its strong cleansing power, it leaves skin feeling moisturized without any tightness. It's perfect! I highly recommend this product to anyone concerned about dead skin cells or excess sebum. Areas for improvement: There's nothing I found disappointing this time. I'm grateful they've made it suitable even for sensitive skin. My personal tips: 1. Lathering up and cleansing with foam is much gentler on the skin. Be sure to work up a rich lather in your hands and cleanse with the foam to really feel the moisturizing finish. 2. Be careful not to let water get inside the container. 3. Always make sure to close the cap after use. - Hwahae UserDry SkinJun 4, 2025
I received the Hicle BHA Deep Pore Gel Cleanser as part of The Hwahae Testers program, and it's fantastic for managing pores and sebum! It's especially useful in summer when pores and oiliness become a concern. This cleanser uses a sebum-targeting system that effectively manages pores from the get-go. The BHA in the sebum-targeting system removes excess oil, while glycerin, a moisturizing ingredient, provides hydration. This system works to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells deep within the pores. The product contains an impressive 5000ppm of BHA, making it great for managing oiliness, sebum, and dead skin cells! The gel formula is lightweight with minimal stickiness. Unlike other exfoliating products that often leave skin feeling dry, this one doesn't cause any tightness and keeps the skin hydrated. It's also gentle, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin. With consistent use, you'll notice a reduction in blackheads and whiteheads, and an improvement in skin texture. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to manage their pores and sebum! One drawback is that on days when you wear color makeup or a full face, you'll need to follow up with a second cleanse after using this product. The cleansing effectiveness was slightly disappointing in this regard. Overall, I suggest using gentle circular motions when applying. For areas where you're particularly concerned about sebum or dead skin cells, like around the nose, use your fingertips to massage more thoroughly for better results! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJun 4, 2025
Review of Hycl BHA Deep Pore Gel Cleanser I have dry combination + super sensitive + acne-prone skin, so I was looking for a gentle cleanser, and this one was just right. Thanks to the salicylic acid (BHA), it effectively clears out pores and removes dead skin cells. I was satisfied that even after cleansing, my skin feels moisturized without any deep dryness. The texture is smooth, and the scent is subtle. Even though my skin leans more towards dry than oily, I didn't experience any tightness. While the lather is minimal, which is a bit disappointing, it's gentle enough for daily use even on sensitive skin, which I appreciate. It cleanses blemish-prone areas gently without irritation. I've been using it morning and night as my second cleanser, and I've noticed my makeup applies better and my skin texture feels smoother. Overall Assessment: - Gentle on sensitive and acne-prone skin, effective for pore care - Recommended as a daily cleanser. Would repurchase. Summary: "A gentle gel cleanser that deeply cleanses pores without irritation - perfect for daily use" The downside is that it's difficult to remove heavy makeup in one go. However, since I usually use an oil cleanser first and this as a second cleanse, it works perfectly fine for me. - Hwahae UserOily SkinSensitive SkinJun 3, 2025
As someone with large pores and oily skin, I was intrigued by the buzz around BHA for oily skin types. I tried this product hoping it would help clean out my pores, and while I didn't see an instant disappearance of whiteheads or feel an immediate cooling sensation, I was pleasantly surprised by an unexpected benefit. Right after cleansing, my skin had this beautiful glow. It wasn't the kind of radiance you'd associate with well-nourished skin, but rather a natural, healthy luminosity that seemed to come from within. It's as if the cleanser revealed my skin's innate glow, regardless of its hydration or nourishment levels. This effect even seemed to make my makeup apply better, though I'm not entirely sure why. I wonder if it's because the cleanser manages to purify while maintaining moisture balance? Or perhaps it thoroughly cleans the pores, allowing the skin's natural radiance to shine through as impurities are removed? Whatever the reason, I'm very satisfied with this as a cleansing product! I typically use a foam net to lather up my cleansing products, but this one doesn't produce much foam. Unlike regular cleansing foams where a tiny amount creates ample lather, you need to squeeze out quite a bit of this product. This means it might run out faster... Perhaps in prioritizing the formula, they couldn't improve this aspect. But since it's created by people smarter than me, I'm sure there's a good reason for it. In my opinion, this product effectively cleanses the skin without being harsh. It seems particularly suitable for those with visible pores! A foam net is a must-have, and be careful during rinsing as it feels a bit slippery - make sure to wash it off thoroughly! - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJun 2, 2025
Here's my review after using the product for 13 days from May 21st to June 2nd! Skin type: Combination dehydrated, super sensitive skin 📍Pros •No deep dryness As someone with combination dehydrated skin, avoiding deep dryness is my top priority when choosing cleansing products. The BHA foam cleanser I recently tried alleviated these concerns. After cleansing, my skin didn't feel tight at all - instead, it felt hydrated. The BHA ingredient gently removed impurities and sebum from my pores, leaving my skin feeling noticeably cleaner. It managed to exfoliate without irritation, making it suitable for my sensitive combination skin. •Rich lather I was pleasantly surprised by how well it lathered up, which helped reduce irritation during cleansing! •Sebum control The product description highlighted its effectiveness in controlling sebum, so I paid special attention to this aspect. I could actually feel my stubborn sebum being regulated. My skin felt smooth after cleansing. I was particularly satisfied with the noticeable improvement in blackheads and whiteheads around my nose area. 📍Room for improvement The quantity seems a bit lacking. The second photo shows the product before opening, and it's disappointing to see it's already 1/4 empty... While I felt the volume was insufficient, I noticed there's currently a 1+1 offer when I came to write this review. This makes the product, which I was hesitant about due to its price, more affordable. I'd recommend those with super sensitive skin to give it a try! (Summary) This product was perfect for gently removing impurities in the morning! As I've mentioned throughout, I think this is a product I can recommend to those with combination dehydrated skin like mine! My personal tip (purchased with my own money!!): If you use this with a foam maker sold at Daiso for just 1000 won, you can create a rich, creamy lather using only a small amount of the cleansing foam. This allows for a gentle, non-irritating cleanse. Satisfaction level for the 1000 won purchase: 5 stars It's no secret that all my friends bought it after my recommendation and loved it too! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMay 29, 2025
Skin Type: Combination 🚨 My usual concern: Pores and excess sebum 🚨 Product texture and feel: Hycl's BHA Deep Pore Gel Cleanser is a product that nails both cleansing effectiveness and gentleness! With its gel texture, it feels incredibly lightweight on the skin. After use, I felt refreshed and my skin felt clean. It seemed to clear out impurities and sebum from my pores without any irritation, making it a comfortable product for daily use. I found it particularly effective in reducing visible dead skin cells and whiteheads around my nose. Plus, my skin didn't feel tight after cleansing, which worked well for me! However, it's not a heavy-duty or rich-lathering type like some cleansing foams, so it fell a bit short in terms of completely removing base makeup. When I wore heavy makeup, I definitely needed a separate makeup remover or first cleanse. This product alone didn't give me that "all my makeup is gone!" feeling, unfortunately. Overall Assessment: ✔️ Pros: Gentle gel formula, excellent at clearing sebum and dead skin cells, no tightness after cleansing ❌ Cons: Somewhat weak for makeup removal (first cleanse essential) Recommended for those who want to focus on clearing out pores or desire a non-irritating daily cleanser! It's gentle enough for sensitive skin, so with consistent use, I think satisfaction levels will likely increase over time! - Hwahae UserNormal SkinMay 28, 2025
I received this product on May 14th and have been using it for about two weeks now. The most satisfying aspect of using this cleanser is how effectively it clears out stubborn sebum that usually doesn't budge. The difference in my skin before and after use is remarkable. I could visibly see a significant reduction in sebum within my pores! Due to improper skincare when I was younger, I developed enlarged pores under my eyes. Usually, even after cleansing, whiteheads would remain, forcing me to extract them manually. However, after using this foam cleanser, I no longer face that inconvenience. Cleansing alone now thoroughly removes sebum from my pores. Moreover, a small amount produces a rich lather, and my skin feels hydrated without any tightness after washing. The overall experience has been truly satisfying. Personally, I don't have any complaints about this product. In fact, after just two weeks of use, my skin has noticeably improved to the point where I'm comfortable going out with just sunscreen on. My friends have been commenting that my skin looks so clean and clear, they thought I was wearing makeup! This product has made me realize how much of a difference proper sebum management can make to one's overall complexion. I'm 100% committed to repurchasing it. I plan to continue using it consistently in the future! Remember to pay attention to moisturizing after cleansing as well. You'll be on your way to achieving that coveted "honey skin"! - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinMay 28, 2025
As the weather's been heating up, I noticed my makeup and sunscreen were caking up around my nose and forehead. So, I went on the hunt for a more refreshing cleanser and stumbled upon the HYCL BHA Deep Pore Gel Cleanser. While exfoliation should be the top priority for dealing with makeup separation and excess sebum, this product caught my eye because it's packed with a high concentration of BHA. It promises to remove excess oil and give your pores a thorough cleanse. What's more, it's actually certified by the FDA as an acne-fighting product. I figured it might help calm those pesky blemishes that pop up on my chin around that time of the month! First impressions: being a gel cleanser, the texture is light and fluid. There's barely any scent to it. The foam is fine, dense, and airy, making for an incredibly gentle cleansing experience. I was a bit concerned about potential irritation from the BHA, but boy was I wrong! Post-cleanse, my skin felt refreshed without any deep dryness. It was like I'd just had the gentlest, most soothing facial scrub ever! Here's a bonus: even if you're in a rush and skip your skincare routine after cleansing, your face won't feel tight. Turns out it's thanks to the glycerin in the ingredients list. I highly recommend this for those with dry or super sensitive skin - it cleanses without stripping, leaving your skin feeling hydrated. Sometimes in summer, I only wear sunscreen. The HYCL BHA Deep Pore Gel Cleanser is supposedly effective enough to remove just sunscreen too, so I think it'll be perfect for those light makeup days this summer. You need to use a bit more product than expected to get a rich lather. This product alone is sufficient for cleansing when you're only wearing sunscreen! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 28, 2025
I was lucky enough to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers and got to try this product! - First off, as someone with super sensitive skin, I always scrutinize ingredients. I was relieved to find this product has no harmful components, making it gentle and safe to use. - The BHA and tea tree oil seem to work wonders for removing excess sebum, regulating oil production, and soothing blemishes. - It lathers up nicely, and I appreciate the absence of granules which can sometimes irritate and hurt my skin. This allowed for a smooth, gentle rolling motion during application. - I noticed a visible improvement in the pores around my nose and cheeks. My skin feels smoother, looks cleaner, and seems genuinely healthier. - The texture is quite fluid - it's a water-gel formula that flows easily. - It has a natural pink hue due to the Vitamin B12 content. - With no artificial fragrances added, it's practically unscented, making it suitable for everyone. There is a slight scent, which I personally found pleasant. - After cleansing, my skin didn't feel overly dry, instead it had a soft, comfortable finish. - Throughout my use, I felt my skin improving. Despite trying a new product, I didn't experience any noticeable blemishes, which suggests it's a good match for my skin. I was so impressed with this product that I can't find anything to criticize! I'm completely satisfied. Once I finish this bottle, I'm likely to repurchase. - When I only wore sunscreen, using this product alone was sufficient. For heavier makeup days, I used this after an initial oil cleanse, followed by a foam cleanser. This routine effectively removed all my makeup and seemed to clear out impurities well. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinMay 27, 2025
I started using this product every evening during my cleansing routine, beginning 3 days after receiving it. 1. How effective is it at removing makeup? —> While I didn't use it to remove color cosmetics, I noticed it effectively cleansed my brightening moisturizer with just two washes. 2. As a product for blemishes, does it cause minimal irritation? —> I didn't experience any irritation while using it. It seems quite gentle on the skin. 3. Does it help with dead skin cells, pores, and acne? —> After about a week of use, I didn't notice any dramatic reduction in acne or blemishes. However, I did feel like it was helping to remove dead skin cells. Overall impression: This is a non-irritating cleanser. Being a gel type rather than a cream, it dissolves well in water without clumping, making it great for foam cleansing. While I personally didn't experience any blemishes, it was difficult to verify if it had a positive effect on existing skin troubles. I don't typically suffer from adult acne, but I do tend to get blemishes around my chin and oily areas during certain times or when my skin is irritated. During use, I didn't feel like the blemishes dramatically disappeared or that there was a remarkable improvement. However, I'm satisfied with it as a gentle cleansing gel. It has a pleasant scent and produces an adequate amount of foam, though not overly rich. Foam cleansing has become popular recently, and I've been doing it often. Even without using a foam ball, when I dispensed an appropriate amount, it lathered well and felt pleasantly firm. Compared to foam types, this gel type dissolves easily in water, so you don't get that feeling of cleansing with clumps of cream. It felt like it wasn't leaving any cleansing residue in my pores, which I appreciated. The cleansing power seemed just right, making it suitable for removing base makeup!
