I've been struggling to find a cleanser, but I've finally settled on this one. I use it after removing my eye makeup with a point makeup remover. First, I apply it all over my face, then emulsify it to remove the makeup. It leaves a very warm feeling, which feels great. It's good for the price. It seems to suit my skin. I use it because it doesn't give me any acne.
I love hot cleansers during the cold season and enjoy using a variety of them. I bought Lachesca's hot cleanser for the first time. It has a refreshing citrus scent that many people seem to enjoy. I remove my eye makeup before cleansing, but it removes it properly even without. Unless it's very heavy, this seems like it'll work for everything. It's a firm gel that melts gradually with body heat. It feels so good to spread it as it softens, so I tend to leave it on for a long time. Even though it's packed with beauty ingredients, it's still a cleanser, so I try to rinse it off quickly once it's absorbed. The little particles don't break down at all and stay on for a long time. It feels like a gommage, so it feels nice. But even though it's packed with beauty ingredients, it doesn't break down, so doesn't that mean the beauty ingredients aren't actually hitting my skin? I wonder. I put it on the back of my hand and use a lot of pressure, but it doesn't break down. The fact that it doesn't require double cleansing is also a blessing when I'm in a hurry. I have dry, thin skin, so if a product doesn't require double cleansing, I try to stick to just cleansing as much as possible. I like to thoroughly cleanse my face, so for years I've been double-cleansing, but that just makes my dry skin worse. This gel, too, is better for soothing dryness when used alone. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and not sticky, so I don't feel uncomfortable even without a foam cleanser. This cleanser itself is a bit refreshing, so I don't think people with dry skin need double cleansing. When I use the cleaning mode on my facial massager, the cotton pad gets quite dirty and turns brown, so I occasionally add face wash or use the massager, adjusting the amount depending on my skin. It's a generous 200 grams, and since I don't use it every day, even a generous amount lasted me about two months.
It was comfortable to use, with a gentle warmth and a moisturizing finish, but the makeup removal was lacking. The texture was sticky throughout, and I wish it was a little lighter. It did reduce the blackheads in my pores, and my makeup went on well when I used it in the morning, so I plan to use it as a massage gel after washing my face in the morning or removing my makeup. Personally, the scent reminded me of a toilet air freshener, so I didn't find it soothing, and I'd like to try other warming products without repurchasing.
