Pros
The capacity was monstrous, so it felt like it lasted for one or two months even when I used it three times a day. The product I bought was a pump type, different from the image here, but it was easy to use and very gentle. Since I don't wear makeup, I couldn't really feel the cleansing power, but it was good to use without any burden.
Cons
Well, the ingredients... I didn't know at the time, but when I checked the ingredients later on Hwahae, they were just insane..

Pros
It's a good product as it's a gentle and non-irritating cleansing formula. Products with irritating ingredients can cause redness after use, but this one doesn't have that issue, so I really like it.
Cons
It's not an exceptionally powerful cleansing product. However, foaming gels are usually used as a second cleanse, so unless you're only using this one product, the mild cleansing power shouldn't be a major concern.

Pros
It's quite satisfactory, so I'm satisfied and using it. Since it's a brand recommended by dermatologists, I can use it with confidence.
Cons
There wasn't really any disappointing point. After using it, my skin didn't feel dry and it was gentle.

Pros
One of my favorite facial cleansers in my life. My skin type is oily and sensitive, and this one can not only clean well but also not irritate me. I like the smell too. It's not too strong and also helps me feel fresh.
Cons
The price is not always attractive in most of the Asian cosmetic market.
Tip
Same as other cleansers, apply on palms then make a amount of foam. Then apply on the whole face gently. Wash off with lukewarm water.

Pros
I've been using this product for 7 years since my college days. It's gentle on the skin and doesn't cause many breakouts. Great product!
Cons
There's not really any downside to it. The price is reasonable considering the quantity, and it's nice that they provide a lot of samples when you buy from the official website.
Tip
It's good to use the Evapolla line together with this product.

Pros
I have been continuously using this product as I like the clean and refreshing feel of the formulation. I am now on my third bottle and plan to keep using it going forward!! Although my skin is somewhat sensitive, I have been using it without any particular troubles or breakouts.
Cons
The downside is that there are as many as 5 key ingredients that require caution. I wasn't aware of this before, but now that I know, I'm a bit worried. Since my skin is sensitive and can easily get irritated even with a small amount of stimulation, the cleansing power is not extremely strong. It works best if I do a light cleansing after using a cleansing water and oil, or on days when I don't have heavy makeup on.

Pros
++ The patient is suddenly suffering from dermatitis ++ ++ Just listen to my story once ++ 1 When it comes to skin, a mild acidic cleanser is the answer for long-term use! 2 I know it has artificial fragrance, but the scent is good 3 It seems to have well-controlled the non-drying nature of the mild acidic cleanser while properly managing the oil 4 The mild acidic cleanser produces a good lather 5 Unbelievable cost-effectiveness... 6 Convenient pump-style packaging 7 Light and comfortable to use
Cons
1 The ingredients are not good 2 While there are advantages, it has artificial fragrances.. 3 The exfoliating ingredients seem too strong - when used on dry skin, it becomes a detergent-like dense foam, similar to a foaming cleansing cream
Tip
1 This is a cleanser suitable for oily skin with excessive sebum and moisture deficiency, which can be used in the summer, and it is a good entry-level mild acidic cleanser 2 The ingredients are not very gentle, so it is good for entry-level use or seasonal use, but long-term use or year-round use is not possible

Pros
I used it without any major issues. I didn't know it was mildly acidic, but I bought it cheap through direct purchase because they said it's good for blemishes. After washing, I felt a clean, refreshed feeling. So I didn't realize it was mildly acidic, but there is a clean feeling, and it's not extremely drying.
Cons
The ingredients are not great. The La Roche-Posay ingredients look good, but when I checked Hwahae, they were all bad, so I finished using what I had and changed everything.
Tip
If you're going to buy it, get it through direct purchase. It's cheaper!

Pros
It's great that it's thoroughly cleansed. I feel like the sebum has been removed. It feels so refreshing.
Cons
It's a bit drying. It's drying in the winter, but good in the summer. The fragrance also seems a bit strong.

Pros
It's a gel type so it's mild and non-irritating. It doesn't produce much lather.
Cons
It's very mild, so there's really no downside. The only thing is that it's a bit more expensive than typical gel type cleansers.
