I used it for the first time and was surprised by the texture. I usually use face washes that lather well, so I wasn't used to this liquid cleanser that foams up a little when you add water, and it made me worry about whether I was washing my face properly. However, after washing my face, my skin felt moisturized without any tightness, so I think it's gentler on the skin than cleansers with overly strong ingredients.
I wonder why this isn't more popular; it's the best face wash ever! I'd be in trouble without it! It doesn't make my skin feel tight at all and it thoroughly removes sebum, so after using it, I feel like I understand the importance of washing my face. The packaging is plain, and the scent is plain too. But it's so good, I want everyone to try it! This is the face wash that everyone is telling me about.
I bought this for mornings when I don't have much time because it doesn't require much lather. The lather is so loose that it doesn't feel like it's cleansing my face as much. On the other hand, it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight after washing, so I recommend it for people with dry skin. I like a refreshing wash, so I probably won't buy it again.
I've always loved EST's serum face wash, even before it was renewed, but I also bought a similar one from Sofina. I use it in the morning. At night, I like to lather up my face more thoroughly, so I use a different one. This one lathers up lightly and is gentle on the skin. It's more moisturizing than refreshing. It doesn't rinse off as quickly, so it takes a while to rinse off. EST was good, but this one is good too! I think it's about 500 yen cheaper. And I really like how smooth and silky my skin feels after washing. I'll definitely buy it again.
I think it's really good for dry skin. After washing, my skin feels soft and smooth without any tightness. I think it's good value for money. I feel like it might take a little while to rinse off.
