It was not as dry as I expected after cleansing. The lather was quite abundant. It's good for skin irritation.
Cons
The fragrance is not too strong, but a bit unique. It may be polarizing.

The product seems to have good lathering and cleansing power, better than expected.
Cons
The scent is not bad, but it has a distinctive fragrance that some may find unpleasant.

I've been using it for about two months and will continue to use it...! Please take a look at the downsides. Sulfur is well-suited for those with sensitive skin, so please give it a try. Since using this for cleansing, my acne has not been appearing as much...๐ญ I've really been under a lot of stress due to acne and have tried all sorts of things. I went to a traditional Korean medicine clinic and got herbal medicine, and even tried laser treatment, but nothing worked, so I just gave up. If I had known earlier that sulfur agrees well with my skin... I'm almost finished with one bar of this soap, and I've been using it morning and evening daily. It's not irritating to the skin, which is great. And the cleansing power is really good. I'm using a double-wear foundation, and I first cleanse with this soap, then use the Round A Round cleansing foam for the second cleanse. Before, when I only used the Round A Round for both cleansing steps, I felt like the makeup wasn't fully removed until the second cleanse. But with this soap, it feels like the makeup is all removed after just the first cleanse. My skin used to be extremely oily, but now the oil is almost completely gone. The best part is that I don't get acne anymore.
Cons
After using it for about two months, I've used about 2.5 bottles of this soap, and when I first used the first bottle, I thought, 'Finally, I've found the soap of my life...!' and even shed tears of joy. But after using the second bottle, the effects went back to how it was before, and it didn't do anything, and I even got some new issues... Goodbye, sulfur soap. After cleansing with this soap, my skin feels a bit dry. It was fine at first, but now, about a month in, my skin that used to be extremely oily for over 10 years feels very tight when I lightly apply my usual skincare routine. But I guess I can just build up my skincare routine more...๐ as long as the acne doesn't come back. I think those with sensitive or dry skin should use this product cautiously. If you feel dryness, I'd recommend only using it 2-3 times a week.
Tip
Innisfree also sells a mask pack with sulfur ingredients. That's a good one too!

I use this product by lathering it up and leaving it on my face for about 1 minute, then doing a rolling massage. 1. Excellent at removing sebum 2. My skin becomes brighter
Cons
1. Available only on iHerb 2. The sulfur smell... it won't leave your side that night. 3. It's drying!
Tip
1. As it's quite potent, it's best not to use it daily - I, with my sensitive and dry skin, use it once every 2 weeks. 2. They say that if you wear metal accessories after using this, the accessories may discolor, so be careful.

The feeling of being thoroughly cleansed and refreshed after using this soap is unparalleled. As it was prescribed by a doctor, I feel reassured.
Cons
I'm not sure if this would be suitable for people with very dry skin. Since it is a soap, it may remove essential oils along with the dirt.

The lather is great. I bought it based on the dermatologist's recommendation, and it seems to be good.
Cons
The only downside is that it may not be the best fit for those with dry skin.

It exfoliates while I use it, and I haven't had any major issues after using it, so I've been using it consistently.
Cons
As far as I know, it's only available for overseas shipping, so I have to buy it in advance before I run out.

I had oily T-zone skin, sebum overproduction, and persistent acne bumps on my forehead that just wouldn't go away! Even after changing my skincare routine and switching to a mild pH-balanced soap, the stubborn acne bumps would keep coming back, causing me a lot of stress. But when I consistently used this soap for my morning and evening cleansing, I was amazed to see the acne bumps disappearing! My friends even commented on how clear my bare face looked. And my oily T-zone definitely produces less oil now. If you have oily skin and struggle with acne bumps, you really should try this soap.
Cons
Even though my skin is dry, it still felt a bit tight after washing with this soap. But it's definitely less drying than other soaps I've used. And while it may not be as well-known in Korea, the inconvenience of purchasing it is the only downside I can think of.
Tip
Be sure to gently cleanse your face with this soap even after using a foaming cleanser. And if you consistently do your morning and evening skincare routine with this soap, those acne bumps will disappear (it even helped clear up my back acne).
