Wet it, rub it between your palms to build a lather, then apply the lather — don't drag the bar across your skin. Stand it somewhere it can dry between uses, or it'll soften and go through twice as fast.

It's South Korean. It's a small brand, so you won't find much about it online, and that puts people off. Worth trying if the solid-cleanser format appeals or you want a single-active concentrate without a long ingredient list. If you want the reassurance of a range everyone knows, Korean Skincare (K-Beauty) has the bigger names.
