Okay. Let me start by saying I’ve been through my share of pore-cleaning products. Peeling gels, clay masks, nose strips (yikes), and every kind of exfoliator you can think of. 

My skin? Oily, prone to congestion, with the kind of texture that makes foundation float instead of blend unless I prep properly. I don’t expect miracles from any cleanser, but I do expect it to help keep things under control.

That’s exactly what the HANYUL Pure Artemisia Cleansing Pack Foam does.

This isn’t your “remove blackheads in 2 minutes” kind of cleanser — and I’m honestly thankful for that. Instead, it’s gentle but purposeful. 

I started using it twice a week like a mild mask/cleanser hybrid:

• I’d apply a slightly thicker layer than usual, let it sit for 1-2 minutes while I scroll, and then rinse with lukewarm water.

• After patting my skin dry, I use a clean cotton swab or textured pad to gently go over my nose and chin.

• The result? The sebum plugs are looser and easier to remove without having to force anything.

There’s something super satisfying about it — like your pores are quietly opening up, not screaming in irritation.

Bonus: The mugwort scent is subtle and relaxing. It has that hanbang spa vibe that makes you feel like you know what you’re doing (even if you don’t).

Is it a miracle cure? No.

Is it a great long-term teammate in the battle against sebaceous filaments and congestion? Absolutely.

Perfect for:

• Oily skin girlies who want to prep skin before extractions

• Sensitive types who hate harsh cleansers

• Anyone who loves a practical, no-frills product that earns its place on your shelf
