ConsThe downside is that it dries out quickly after cleansing...

Using it with a lather net doubles the cleansing effect (I often use it without the net as well, as it lathers up nicely on its own). - Sensitivity Even though I have a very sensitive skin type, it does not cause any breakouts, which is great. For sensitive and dry skin types, it's recommended to use it no more than 3 times a week. - Design Personally, I find the subtle charcoal gray color and the minimalist square shape to be quite appealing.
Cons- Tightness Due to its excellent cleansing power, it can leave my skin feeling a bit tight. That's why I only use it up to 3 times a week. - Moisture The soap dish or holder needs to be managed carefully to prevent water from pooling. If left in standing water, the soap will relatively weaken and wear down faster. + I've been using it in the shower for about a month, and the wet soap has developed cracks all over its surface as it dries, making the once-minimalist soap look unsightly. I don't recommend keeping it in the shower.
Tip- Highly personal tip After applying the lathered-up foam to your face, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub using a hot water-softened silkworm cocoon shell in a circular motion. This product would make a great gift for friends interested in organic cosmetics and skincare.

I was tempted because the reviews were good haha... The good thing is, the cleansing power is good. It washes me off very squeaky clean. I feel really clean.
ConsI had high expectations, but it didn't really work for me. First of all, it had no effect on my pores at all.. When buying a pore soap, the main thing you expect is a good effect on the pores, right? But this product had no effect on my pores, so that's the most disappointing part. And even when I used it, it felt irritating and drying ㅠㅠ It had a very unpleasant feeling because it was drying. So now I'm just using it to wash my feet, and I do feel like it cleans them more squeakily clean than other cleansing products.

After suddenly developing cystic acne, I was extremely stressed, but I've never visited a dermatologist. After using this soap and changing my skincare routine, I no longer have a single cystic pimple. This is truly my life-changing soap. I've tried all kinds of natural soaps that claim to be good, but they only made my acne worse. Now, I stock up on this soap before it runs out and my whole family uses it. Even without separate exfoliation, using this soap properly is really great.
ConsFor those with dry skin, it may be a bit drying.
TipChinoshio-ya sells a separate lather net. You should lather the soap well with that net to get a nice, creamy foam! I use this soap 2-3 times a week or more, especially for T-zone oil and blackhead care. After cleansing and applying skincare products, your makeup will apply beautifully!

ConsAs it is a soap, it can be drying. Apart from that, there are no major issues.

Even though I don't usually wear heavy makeup, this product alone seems to cleanse my skin thoroughly and effectively.
ConsIf the lather isn't quite dense and creamy enough, the cleansing power really drops off. The smaller the soap bar gets, the more you have to work it to build up a good lather. Sometimes the lather just doesn't come together well, leaving me feeling like my makeup isn't fully removed, so I have to use it twice which can be drying.
TipBe sure to use this with a loofah or konjac sponge! The meringue-like lather is key.

To start with, my skin type is extremely sensitive, dry-oily, and my entire face gets completely clogged with sebum during the summer. After cleansing, the sebum would swell up, and not only my nose but also my cheeks and chin would be covered in white sebum. And since my skin is so sensitive, most cleansers would leave my face feeling tight and even cause breakouts. However, after using the Chino Shioaya soap for about a week, the sebum on my cheeks and chin disappeared!😂😂 And it was so gentle that my face didn't get red or irritated at all. After using it for 4 years, I realized it can't completely remove blackheads!ㅎㅎ But it definitely reduced my sebum production a lot, and the exfoliation was sufficient enough that I didn't need to use harsh peeling gels. And since it's so gentle, even first-time users won't feel burdened~!
ConsThere were a lot of questions about whether it's drying or not. Honestly, since I have a naturally dry skin, any cleanser other than just water tends to make my skin feel tight.ㅜ The Chino Shioaya was no exception, but the fact that I was able to use it for 4 years means it was much less drying compared to other products. It's really a cleansing product with almost no downside!
TipSome say it gets soft, but in our well-ventilated home, 1 bar of soap lasts us 6 months! If it gets too soft, you can cut the soap into pieces and use them, and store the remaining soap wrapped in plastic in the fridge. For exfoliation, lather the soap for about 3 minutes, rinse with lukewarm water, and gently rub with your hands - the dead skin will come off like noodles ㅎㅎ

My face is completely wrecked by acne. Sensitive skin is not recommended.
ConsAt first, I didn't know this was the cause, but my skin has been damaged. Flaky skin is coming up, it's turning red and itchy, and acne is popping up like crazy. Even after applying a moisturizer, my skin remains dry. And as time goes on, it just keeps getting worse. This is a big problem.
