Cleansing balms these days usually cost over 30,000 won for 200ml, but this one is a large size for only 15,000 won, so it's extremely affordable. I've been using it during the winter, and it does a better job of moisturizing and managing oil compared to other oil cleansers. Makeup is removed well, but when rinsing with water later, it doesn't rinse off easily. So I think it's best to use only a small amount, melt the makeup, and then wipe it off with a tissue or cotton pad before rinsing with lukewarm water. If you use too much, even mascara doesn't come off easily, and the cream components don't rinse off with water. It's best to use only a small amount, and then you can rinse the makeup off well with water. For those short on time, I'd recommend using an oil cleanser instead of this, as the process of melting the makeup and then rinsing it off takes about 3 times longer and is more inconvenient. However, after removing makeup with this in the winter, my skin feels soft and supple. The moisture and oil balance seems to be well-maintained.
ConsIt doesn't rinse off well with water. Compared to oil cleansers, you have to rinse for 5 more minutes to barely get it off. It's more moisturizing than oil cleansers, but that also means a tissue is essential.

ConsAfter using it a couple of times, my face became irritated and my skin was completely messed up.

When I first encountered it in Canada, I couldn't get it to come off with just water or cleansing foam. But after checking the website, I learned that it needs to be removed with the microfiber cloth. After that, it worked amazingly well! Gently massage it all over, then use a warm, damp cloth to wipe it off. In the dry winter, it leaves your skin feeling super soft and smooth!
ConsIf you don't get the hang of the application method, it won't come off easily, and you'll be wondering what's going on! It's a complete no-go for the summer, and the cloth or wiping method is not recommended for those with sensitive skin. It's also not suitable for oily skin types!
TipBe sure to use a microfiber cloth or cotton pad to remove it. This remover is a great help for those with dry or very dry skin!

Just the time I spend with my own skin?
ConsIt was too oily and my skin was lacking in moisture, being oily. I didn't feel like it was moisturizing or that the cleansing was good, and I just ended up with acne around my nose and under my lips... I wonder who recommended this... ㅠㅠ

It causes no stinging sensation. It removes all of my heavy eye products, including mascara, without heavy pulling and tugging. It leaves my skin feeling smooth.
ConsI have to use a second cleanser after this one to refresh my skin. It acts more like a makeup removing cream and moisturizer than a cleanser.

It was really affordable.
ConsI didn't feel like I was really cleansing my face. Even though it says it 'won't clog pores', I found that it does have a pore-clogging ingredient, which explains why I had major breakouts on my face, especially on the forehead.
TipUse this as an oil-based cleanser. Then follow with a cleanser that contains AHA or BHA.
