I was using est's gel cleanser and was about to run out, so I thought I'd buy this instead, but it was out of stock. It seemed to suit my skin perfectly, and it even easily removed the blackheads on my chin that the gel cleanser hadn't managed to remove... My acne-prone skin is now almost completely gone. This is a better value for money product, and I've found a great product. I'll definitely be buying it again.
It doesn't foam, but when you wet it with water it foams up a little. It leaves your skin feeling moisturized, which is my favorite.
This is a face wash that lathers lightly and cleanses gently. I've been using ALBLANC liquid face wash, and since it's also from the Kao brand, I think it's similar. The scent is subtle and doesn't sting the eyes, which is nice. I'm starting to find it a bit of a hassle to have to buy ALBLANC at the counter, so I'm thinking of switching to this one.
This is a non-foaming face wash. Even when you pour it into your palm and lather it, it only produces a very slight foam, but not much at all. I gently rub the slightly foamy liquid over my face, stroking it lightly to wash. After washing, my skin feels moisturized and doesn't feel dry.
It was very refreshing and had good lather.
