How to use

As the foam builds up, wash your face in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with water or lukewarm water. *If using as a makeup remover, we recommend using a slightly larger amount.

It's been a while since I last bought this. There are a lot of foaming face washes out there, but this one is reasonably priced and the carbon dioxide helps to promote blood circulation, so it's great for the winter. It also helps with dark circles under the eyes and brightens the skin tone. However, if you leave it on for too long after it turns into foam, it can make your skin red, so it's good to rinse it off easily.
No need to lather, easy to use, gel turns into foam in an instant, interesting! And feels good! But that's about all there is to it? It leaves your skin feeling refreshed after washing, so those with dry skin may want to be careful. That said, it doesn't feel like it strips away all of your moisture. However, because it's such a dense foam, it doesn't rinse off easily, so you have to rinse it off very carefully. It was quickly demoted to second-string facial cleansers, but I don't dislike this kind of item. It's good value for money because it foams up in a way that makes you wonder how long it will last. (Although you can't see inside because it's in a can lol)
The foam is very firm, and even a small amount can be used to wash your face without friction. It doesn't leave your skin feeling tight after washing. I like the feel of it, but the smell is a bit strong, like old oil. Maybe I bought some old stock...
It turns into a fluffy foam when you apply it to your skin. It has a nice scent and saves you the trouble of using it in the morning. It's a great product, but unfortunately it caused eczema in me.
I'm buying this again! It lathers up nicely on the skin, so it saves time and is easy to use! I don't have dry skin, so it doesn't feel tight. You don't need to use a lot, so it's good value for money.
