I’m in my late twenties, working full-time, and let me tell you — my skin and I have been through it. From hormonal breakouts to those stress-induced flare-ups around deadlines, my skin knows what it means to be tired. 

So I’m always looking for something gentle, effective, and dependable to keep my routine low-maintenance but still skin-friendly.

I picked up the HANYUL Pure Artemisia Cleansing Foam Pack during a “treat myself” Olive Young haul. I wanted something that felt traditional and soothing but still had the functionality of a modern cleanser. 

First impression? Really good. The scent was a soft, herby mugwort (nothing too strong or medicinal), and the consistency was somewhere between a clay and a creamy foam. 

I could feel it hugging my skin — never stripping, just enough to feel clean without that tight aftermath.

I also loved the slight versatility: you can use it as a quick cleanser or leave it on for a few minutes like a mild purifying mask. It helped reduce redness and gave my skin that smooth, balanced feeling that made my toner and serum absorb better.

But here’s the catch: it runs out FAST. 

I don’t consider myself a heavy-handed user, but I was squeezing out a pretty generous amount to get that creamy lather — and within about three weeks, I was already halfway through the tube. 

That’s the only reason I’m hesitant about repurchasing right away.

Final verdict?

• Performance: 9/10

• Price-to-portion ratio: 5/10

• Would I recommend? Yes — but only if you’re okay with repurchasing a little more often or waiting for a promo.
