| Verdict | A pore-focused cleanser that actually delivers on the pore-minimizing claim — temporarily. The egg white extract tightens pores visibly while niacinamide works on long-term improvement. Satisfying foam and the slight tightening feeling without dryness is addictive. | Widely considered the best cleansing balm in K-beauty at any price. The olive plus sea buckthorn plus squalane base melts makeup and sunscreen effortlessly, and the orange oil scent is subtle rather than artificial. Leaves skin clean, nourished, and never stripped. Expensive, but a single jar lasts months and the experience is genuinely luxurious. |
