After doing a first cleanse with oil to remove my makeup, I followed the instructions and rubbed the stick all over my damp face, working up a lather. Rinsing it off with water was the final step. It was much easier to use than I expected, and the cleansing power was amazing. What surprised me the most was how moisturized my skin felt afterwards. There was absolutely no tightness or dryness, and it even felt like my skin had been gently exfoliated - like I had used a peeling gel. I was so impressed, thinking 'this product is really something special!' I have a dry skin type, and it worked perfectly for me, but I think it would be great for any skin type, even for those with sensitive skin, since the formula is so gentle and non-irritating. Using it daily didn't cause any issues at all. It's also really convenient to travel with, so I'd highly recommend it!
ConsThe only thing that requires a bit of extra effort is properly cleaning and storing the product after use. I just rinse it off with water, dry it, and then close the cap for storage.

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 foam is better than expected, and when you open the lid, you can smell a rose fragrance. This product feels like a natural soap bar made into a stick form. It's closer to a natural soap than a cleansing foam! I have sensitive skin, but it didn't cause any irritation or breakouts!! For those with sensitive skin, I'd recommend creating the lather with your hands instead of rubbing it directly on your face, as suggested in the instructions.
ConsSince it's a natural soap and a mildly acidic product, it has limitations in removing makeup. It's more suitable for use as a second cleanse. The stick form concerns me - I'm curious if there are any issues with bacterial growth when you cap it with water on the soap.
TipUsing a bubble maker to work up a richer lather seems to work well. When the soap directly touches the face, it feels a bit rough and could be irritating, so I created the lather separately before using it.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, the product was just perfect for my needs. Since I don't go out much due to COVID-19, I hardly wear makeup anymore, and I've been worrying about cleansing my face every time. Using a cleansing foam felt burdensome for my dry skin, but not using anything left me feeling like there were still residues or secretions from the night. So this seems to be just the right product for me. -Packaging The design is very clean and neat. The translucent white case looks luxurious, and the stick form is convenient to use. -Fragrance The rose scent is not too strong. It has a slightly refreshing feel, but it's more like a soap smell. Especially when applied to the face... it's a bit like laundry soap. ㅠㅠ -Usage Experience It melts very smoothly on the face and feels great. It's not drying at all, and I was satisfied with the clean feeling after use.
ConsThere's one thing I really want to mention... I just slightly dropped it on the sink, but the stick won't come out. This means it's unusable unless you twist it, and the durability seems too weak. Especially when washing, my hands are slippery, and even a slight drop didn't make the stick come out. I ended up throwing it away without being able to use it much. Users, please be very careful not to drop it. 🥲 And that part definitely needs to be improved.

The stick format is so convenient, and the lather forms so well, making cleansing extremely easy! Lately, my skin has been a mess from wearing makeup and a mask. Whenever a blemish would appear, it would keep coming back, and even when it calmed down, it would flare up again. But since it's mildly acidic, I was able to cleanse without any irritation to my skin!
ConsWhen I applied the stick directly to the troubled areas, it was painful because of the stick format. ㅠ Sometimes, it would get on my hands, and I'd have to lather it up that way!
TipIf you lather the product in a mesh puff, the foam will be amazing! It's also good to just apply it directly with your hands.

The face wash felt very moisturizing and soft! It felt so moisturizing that it seemed like my face was being washed, but after rinsing it all off, the moisturizing feeling remained, along with a slight squeaky-clean sensation. The formula is much softer than regular soap. The scent is mild and pleasant, with no aversion to it. I've been using it since the day I received it, and I haven't had any trouble breakouts at all.
ConsThere is not much space between the main container and the lid, so I had to twist and push the product all the way down into the container. I wish there was a bit more space between the main container and the lid.
TipAt first, I massaged it onto my face to cleanse, but I found that massaging it in my hands and then applying it was a bit better.

After washing, there is no stickiness or discomfort, and it feels like it rinses off well.
ConsThe container seems a bit too large. The wide application surface is good, but it's too big and inconvenient to use. It would be better if it was made a bit smaller or shorter. The floral ingredients are pretty, but when I smell it, I can tell it's a DIY product, and my mother says it has a slightly rancid oil-like scent. It seems she feels that way because there are no artificial fragrances. I don't think I can use it as the first cleansing step after makeup. Cosmetics get stuck in it, so you have to wash it before and after using it.
TipSince I only wear light makeup, I find it works well if I first rub it a bit to create some lather, do the first cleansing, and then apply it directly to my face and rub it in for the second cleansing.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 product I used this time as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer was the Puremaid Wonder Stick Cleanser. As the weather has become much colder, my skin has also become quite dry. The good thing about this cleanser is that it cleans my skin thoroughly. After washing, my skin also feels well-moisturized. The size is not too big, so it's convenient to carry when traveling. Since it's in a stick format, I just need to swipe it a few times on my face and rinse, which is very convenient. I've also tried this cleanser on my 9-year-old and 7-year-old children, and since it's made with natural ingredients, it cleansed their skin gently without any irritation. They seem to enjoy using it as well.^^ We use this cleanser for their face washing every time.
ConsThe disappointing part is that this product didn't quite suit me. When I first started using it, I would just get a few small blemishes, but the more I used it, the more blemishes started appearing. So I've stopped using it now.ㅠㅠ Outwardly, my skin looks good, but I have sensitive skin, and anything can easily upset it. Just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it's a bad product. The cleanser itself is good. My children are using it without any issues. Even if I can't use it, I'm glad my children can use it well.^^
TipAs for a tip, since it's in a stick format, you might be concerned about hygiene. I wipe the stick with a cotton pad after using it and store it that way. I'm not sure if that's the right method, but it seems better than leaving it dirty.^^

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, my skin type is oily with a lot of blackheads and large pores. I also get the occasional pimple, but since I have a dehydrated skin type, I often feel tightness on my face. The packaging is pretty and larger than expected! I think it will be convenient to carry around. As soon as I opened the lid, I was greeted by a fragrant scent and a slightly sour vitamin-like aroma. The fragrance also seems to last well - it remained strong for about 2 weeks. I applied it to my damp face and massaged it in with my hands. Otherwise, the lather doesn't form well, and it just feels like rubbing soap directly on my face... Even though a lot of soap got on my face, since it wasn't very wet, the lather didn't form well. And when rinsing, a light, continuous lather kept coming out - the rinsing took quite a while! My skin is oily, and my sister's is dry, but we both felt that this cleanser is very gentle and doesn't cause tightness. I haven't tried other low-pH foam cleansers, so I can't compare, but I do feel that it's gentle. Therefore, I think it would be great for morning cleansing! The cleansing power is average. It's not bad, but it's not as strong as a deep cleansing product. It would be fine for a second cleanse, but considering its gentleness, I think it's optimized for morning cleansing and cleansing without makeup.
ConsTo be honest, I'm not sure about the merits of the stick form. The cute packaging and being able to apply it directly to my face is fun, but it requires more effort than just squeezing and applying the product. I've heard that the flowers help with exfoliation, but that's not the case at all. I could feel it slightly at first, but the exfoliating effect was not significant, and the flowers disappeared after a few uses.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 capacity is quite large and when I first tried it, I didn't know how much to rub, so I rubbed my face about twice, but as I kept rubbing, a lot of foam came out, which surprised me. And when I tried to rinse it with water, it seemed like even more foam was coming out, and there are a lot of other foam cleansers that don't produce as much foam, but compared to those, the fact that this slightly acidic, pH 5 product produced a lot of foam even with just a little bit is a good thing, and I was surprised when rinsing that as soon as I washed off the foam, my skin felt very moisturized. At first, I had never felt this level of moisturization from a cleansing product, so I rinsed a few more times. But I realized that it's not that the product wasn't rinsing off properly, but rather that my skin itself was becoming soft and smooth. Even when drying with a towel, I was surprised by how moisturized my skin felt. This type of foam cleansing is a whole new experience for me. The product was advertised as a moisturizing cleansing product, and now I understand what that means - it's the real deal. That's why I was even more surprised. And when I looked at the pamphlet that came with it, which had information about the brand, its philosophy, and the product introduction, I felt like I could trust the brand, and I want to try out their other products as well. They gave me a few samples of other products, and if those work well for my skin, I'll consider buying them. I'm glad I was able to discover this natural, eco-friendly brand through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, and after trying it out myself, I have even more confidence in the brand and its products.
ConsThe rose scent is not very strong, it's more like a sugar candy-like smell? It's not an artificial floral fragrance, which I liked (they claim not to use artificial fragrances or colorants), but it's also not a very pleasant, noticeable scent. However, when applied on the face, the scent isn't overpowering either, so it's not to the point where the smell would prevent me from using the product. After using it for over a week, I realized that it doesn't seem to agree with my sensitive skin. Large, red blemishes started appearing, so I had to discontinue using the product. I was really excited to try it out, thinking it would work well for my skin, but after about a week, I could tell it wasn't a good match and had to go back to my regular products. It's a shame, because I liked discovering this brand, but unfortunately, this particular product didn't work out for my skin. I'm disappointed, but I'm glad I was able to try it out through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program.
TipThis was my first time using a stick-type cleansing product, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I found it to be quite convenient and felt like it reduced the effort required. With other cleansers, you have to dispense, create a lather, and apply to the face, but with this, you just swipe it on and rub it in a few times, which was so easy! I think this type of stick cleansing will be especially useful when traveling. It's not the smallest size, but the shape and size fit nicely into a makeup bag, so it'll be great for taking on trips.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- It's easy to carry around When traveling or on business trips, I used to worry about carrying liquid cleansers, but this product can be carried without worrying about leaks or spills, so it's convenient. - It's moisturizing After using a foam cleanser, my face would feel tight, and I would always desperately search for toner or serum. But this product doesn't cause as much tightness. - Excellent cleansing power When I used the Mac Lady Danger lipstick and tried to remove it, I had to rub a bit, but it came off cleanly. Although it's not meant for removing heavy makeup, it can easily remove light sunscreen or brow makeup these days when we're mostly just wearing masks.
Cons- Hygiene concerns When I tried to remove lipstick, I noticed that the red color was left around the edges. This is an inevitable downside of the stick type, but it's concerning when sharing with family members. - Fragrance They said it's a rose scent, but I'm not sure if it really smells like roses. It's not the typical artificial rose fragrance, but more like crushed rose leaves with a hint of lemongrass-like notes and a soapy base note. This could be seen as either a pro or a con, depending on personal preference. - Texture It's like a bar of soap with rose petals embedded in it. When you rub it on your face, it creates a bubbly lather. Those who prefer a rich, creamy lather may need to use a cleansing brush to generate more foam.
Tip- On days when you've used sunscreen or a tone-up cream, this product can be enough for cleansing. - Using a cleansing brush to generate foam can create a more abundant lather. - After foaming, rinse with water and store it for later use.
