While the foam dissipates quickly when using a foam net, its cleansing effectiveness is still decent. It's so mild that I'm comfortably using it both morning and night.
ConsTo be honest, I didn't see much improvement in my pores. The same goes for the Herb Skin from the same brand. And I was shocked by how expensive it is in Korea! It's also disappointing that it crumbles easily.
TipActually, Chinoshio-ya isn't famous in Japan but more popular in Korea. They only have offline stores in Kumamoto. Their famous cleansing oil is made in Japan but only sold in Korea, not in Japan! If you're buying in Japan, it's cheaper on Amazon than the official site. (Currently priced at 734 yen for 2 pieces) Also, like me, if you keep it in a hanging foam net for soap storage, it's convenient and great for creating lather.

The foam is quite rich.
ConsIts cleansing effectiveness is weak, and the foam isn't firm, collapsing easily, making it difficult to feel thoroughly clean. It has no effect on pores whatsoever. It doesn't cleanse well, so if you're not careful, you might end up with blemishes again.
TipUse with a foaming net

It definitely leaves my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed.
ConsI didn't notice any reduction in pore size or oil control that the product claims to provide.

If I had to mention a positive point, its cleansing effectiveness is quite good. It really gives that squeaky clean feeling. You can feel your skin getting thoroughly cleansed.
ConsI had high expectations, but unfortunately it didn't work well for me. First off, it had absolutely no effect on my pores. When buying a pore-focused soap, the main thing you're hoping for is a positive impact on your pores, right? But this product didn't deliver on that front, which was the biggest disappointment. Moreover, it even caused a tingling sensation when used, and left my skin feeling dry after washing. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, the experience was really unpleasant. So now I'm just using it to wash my feet. On the bright side, it does give a squeaky clean feeling compared to other cleansing products, so that's a plus.

It's decent enough, nothing extraordinary but okay.
ConsAlthough it's marketed as a pore-reducing soap, I don't see any noticeable reduction in my pores. Don't expect dramatic results.

Here's the trick: work up a good lather, massage it into your nose and chin, then rinse. You'll feel a slight tingling sensation. After that, gently swab the area with a cotton bud, and you'll see the sebum come out. It won't work if you don't follow these steps... Still, it's gentle enough for everyday use and keeps blemishes at bay.
ConsCan't think of any major downsides, but its effect on pores is minimal at best... Plus, it's quite pricey!! The results don't justify the cost, in my opinion.

I followed the advice to leave it on for a while before washing off, and it was unbelievable!!!! 1. Even for someone like me with small pores, the effects are killer. Honestly, I've always been frustrated with pore strips because nothing seemed to come out due to my small pores. But this is a game-changer. 2. After using it, I could actually feel stuff coming off as I rubbed my face. This product is the real deal. Amazing!! 3. I bought one, but it came with two. Great value for money! Not bad at all!!! 4. Most pore packs have harsh ingredients and are a hassle to dry and remove, but this soap form is perfect for me.
ConsTo be honest, I don't have any complaints. 1. If I had to nitpick, it's just slightly less effective than those chemical-bomb pore packs, but only by a tiny margin.
TipHere's a tip: create a lather using a foam net, apply it to your face, then wash your body while leaving it on for about 3 minutes before rinsing off. It's effective even with this short time, and it's less of a hassle than masks. You can do it all in one wash, no need for extra rinsing, and you can move straight to emulsion. So convenient!!!! Say goodbye to mask residue messing up your sink! 300% will repurchase! I cut the soap into thirds and use it with a foam net, which makes it last quite a while.

I created a rich lather using a foam net, applied it to my face, and let it sit for a bit. Then I massaged it in circular motions for about 3 minutes before rinsing. My skin felt hydrated without any tightness and looked radiant afterwards.
ConsI haven't tried using it as a weekly mask yet, so I'm not sure if it has a noticeable effect on pores.

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.ProsMy skin is combination dehydrated, leaning more towards oily! 1. It lathers up well, allowing for a thorough cleanse. 2. As expected from a soap, there's a slight feeling of moisture loss right after washing. However, it leaves my skin neither particularly hydrated nor dry - just in its natural state. 3. It seems to be surprisingly effective at removing dead skin cells. I tend to have a lot of flaky skin, and usually, over-exfoliation causes a tingling sensation. With this soap, I noticed some tingling when I paid extra attention to cleansing. 4. It helps somewhat in reducing the appearance of pores. After using a Senka product that clogged my pores and caused lots of tiny bumps, my pores were a mess. This soap helped restore them. Now when I apply foundation, it doesn't settle into my pores. For this reason, I recommend it!
Cons1. It doesn't leave your skin feeling particularly hydrated... that's soap for you, I suppose. 2. The effectiveness of dead skin cell removal might vary from person to person, but for me, it works better than expected! 3. While it does clean out pores, it doesn't seem particularly effective against acne. This might be best for those with lots of small bumps and visible pores.
TipI use this soap as my second cleanse after removing makeup with Chifure's cleansing oil. It really gets rid of all the impurities... The synergy between the cleansing oil and this soap is amazing!

The oil is really fantastic, but the soap... not so much.
ConsI'm not sure if it's effective. My pores seem cleaner at times, but then again, maybe not. It's hard to tell.
