It works really well for exfoliating - after using the Hwahae soap and cleansing the next day, my skin felt smooth and soft. It also did a great job of cleaning the oily areas around my nose that regular cleansers couldn't fully remove. I was worried the exfoliating beads might be too harsh, but they're just the right size and don't cause much irritation, and the lather is really nice and gentle on the skin. The best part is the packaging - it's not just pretty, but also really practical. The middle cap and the frame that keeps the spoon from flying around are such thoughtful details that make it so user-friendly. And having an actual spoon shape rather than just a spatula is an extra nice touch.
ConsThe disappointing aspect was that since my skin is acne-prone and sensitive, I don't really prefer products with fragrance, and this product had a really strong scent, which was a bit of a letdown. As soon as I opened the lid, a floral? scent just burst out, and even after I finished applying it, the lingering fragrance remained, so I could still feel the scent during my skincare routine. Other than that, there weren't any major inconveniences. For those sensitive to fragrance, this might be something to keep in mind.

At first, the scent seemed quite artificial and floral, but the rich and gentle fragrance was lovely on my face. Additionally, the previous product I used took a long time to rinse off, but this one rinsed away more easily. The physical scrubbing did not overly irritate my skin, yet it effectively managed the texture of my complexion. I will definitely purchase this again once I finish the current bottle!
ConsCourage may be a bit uncomfortable, but there are also tube-shaped ones, so problem solved!

The texture is similar to the one I was familiar with, with a soft and chewy feel. The finish has a moisturizing effect, so it would be good for dry skin types as well. The cleansing power removes even tone-up sunscreen. It wasn't bad at all. Excluding the harmful ingredients, it seems like it can be used comfortably. The lather is dense and nice. And it's very gentle, so it would be suitable for those with sensitive skin as well.
ConsThere wasn't really any disappointing user experience, but it wasn't completely effective at removing oil. There were still some oily bumps left around my nose even after cleansing. And since the texture is quite dense, it takes a while to wash it off with just your hands without any tools.
TipYou can use sunscreen only on the days you apply it, or during the second cleansing. When using it, just apply it and then brush it in with a wet silicone brush while brushing your teeth. It works really well. It's even better to use it when your skin is dry.

It's beautiful even if you just leave it in the bathroom ✨ And it comes with a spoon, so you can use it hygienically, and the texture is smooth. I always use a cleansing device, and the lather was more than sufficient ㅎㅎ And the scent of this product!! 🌱 It's really great! Thanks to the fragrance, my skin feels twice as refreshed 🫶
ConsWhen using it as a foaming pack, there is a bit of a stinging sensation ㅠ (But! No breakouts occurred.)
TipWhen using it as a pack, pouring it into a glass bowl and whipping it up with a pack brush creates a much smoother and fluffier foam🫧, which makes it easy and pleasant to apply to the skin! - This is the real-use review from a licensed skin care specialist.💚

It just feels like an interesting textured cleanser...? The cleansing power isn't much different from other products, and in fact, after cleansing with this and rinsing with water, there's still a bit of residue left, so I have to rinse it several times, which is a bit inconvenient. However, it didn't cause any additional breakouts or troubles, and it's just a pretty average cleanser.
ConsIt's not rinsed thoroughly enough, and it keeps getting in my hair... The lather also doesn't come out well. I haven't seen much effect on blackheads or acne either.
TipDo not try to remove your makeup all at once with this. Be sure to use a cleansing oil for your first cleanse, and then use it for your second cleanse.

ConsWhile not entirely necessary, I think a tube-like format would have been more convenient.

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 skin type is dry/sensitive. The texture is quite dense, and it becomes slippery when in contact with water. The fragrance is said to be grape, but I'm not sure about it. As long as you're not sensitive to fragrances, it should be suitable for general use. The granules were a bit irritating to the skin, but it was fine when used by dissolving it completely in water to create a foam. Personally, I prefer using it by dissolving it in water rather than as a mask. Since my skin is quite dry, there was still a feeling of tightness after using it as a cleanser, similar to my usual routine. After using it for about a week, I'm not sure if it improved my skin texture, but I'm glad that it didn't cause any breakouts, as the ingredients seem to be gentle.
ConsThe product got into my eyes and it was so irritating that I couldn't even open my eyes when cleansing. The lid kept opening and closing, so my hands got wet, which could be a bit inconvenient.

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.ProsI've been using it for 2 weeks since receiving the delivery, and I've concluded that it was more effective on my back than on my face. As for my face, since it has sensitive and flushed skin, I didn't feel that there was absolutely no irritation from the scrub. I'd recommend using it as a cleansing agent right away rather than as a pack. The longer the pack was left on, the more irritation I felt. I also used it consistently as a cleanser on my skin with acne on my back, and my skin texture became smoother than before, with hardly any irritation from the scrub. I think I'll only use it about once a week on my face to just manage the dead skin, but I'm willing to use it daily on my back.
ConsI would not recommend it even for skin with slight redness. I felt the scrub irritation. Redness and heat sensation, etc.
TipDo not scrub directly on the face. Instead, first create a lather in your hands and then apply it, as this will be less irritating.

As a dry-skinned person, my face usually feels very tight after cleansing, but the Hwahae cleanser doesn't do that at all. In fact, it feels like I've done skincare, if that makes sense? Even though I've clearly cleansed, the moisturizing effect is incredible!! It goes beyond just feeling moisturized, it's like I've applied a cream!! Those who have tried it will know what I mean ㅎㅎㅎ Of course, those who prefer a squeaky clean finish may have mixed feelings about it, but for my dry skin, this was an absolute dream finish!! Highly recommended for dry skin! 🩵 Effortless daily exfoliation care! There are small granules inside, but they roll on comfortably without any irritation. I've tried other famous scrub cleansers from different brands, and to be honest, those did feel a bit irritating ㅠㅠ But this one was completely comfortable, and it was actually a pleasant sensation, so I kept rolling it on the areas with blackheads ㅎㅎ After using it consistently, I've noticed a natural reduction in my blackheads!! (But you do need to use it consistently, as the gentle nature means you can't expect dramatic results in one go ㅎㅎㅎ)
ConsAlthough there is a spatula inside, since it is a jar type that needs to be scooped, it is a bit inconvenient to use.. haha So on busy mornings for work, I don't use it much, and only use it leisurely in the evenings haha So when I finish this, I'm going to buy and try the tube type product!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a combination skin type with dry areas and oily areas. It can be used daily as a cleanser or as a mask. When used with water and lathered, it can be used as a daily cleansing. When applied thickly on the face, it can be used as a mask. The almond seed powder helps remove impurities without being too irritating to the skin, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth after use. The most satisfying part was the blackhead cleansing power. Many products claiming to remove blackheads are not very trustworthy, but this one is very effective. Using it as a daily cleanser lightly removes blackheads, and using it as a mask almost completely removes them. Therefore, I recommend using it as a mask.
ConsThe fragrance seemed too strong. It had a slightly intense masculine cosmetic scent, and even after washing it all off, the fragrance lingered on my face until I fell asleep, which was quite disappointing. It would have been nice to just catch a whiff of it briefly.
TipIf you want to see the blackhead effect, be sure to use a pack!!
